Awesome Toddler App!

This is a great interactive app for toddlers learning their ABC's. I didn't know what to expect when I had to print out "flash cards" for the app but now I understand. You place your phone over the flash card and a 3D version of the animal comes to life! My grandson squealed with delight. A little girls voice says the letter...very cute. This is a very unique app and I haven't come across anything like it yet. I highly recommend. 5 stars.
Love it in the iPad

Really cool app. I have found that it works really on the iPad since there is more screen to use. I look forward to the updates since my son already loves it. Incidentally, seems a great way to introduce him to technology. Thanks
Love it!

Love how the animals pop up! My son gets a huge smile on his face when the animals appear. The new graphics are great and being able to take pics is cool.

A Reading Teacher's Perspective

This app is very engaging and exciting. Little ones will love it. However, I'm a bit concerned, as a primary teacher, with three of the five vowel sounds. When teaching introductory vowel sounds, they should be introduced as "short" sounds. The "I" is pronounced like a long "E" sound in Iguana but should sound like the "I" in inchworm (or use the iguana, but pronounce it with the short "i" sound) The "O" in owl is teaching the "ow" sound, but should sound like the "O" in octopus. The "U" in urchin is teaching the "UR" sound and should be the "U" sound in umbrellabird. These seem to be simple changes to incorporate. At this point, I will not be able to use this with my students unless the vowel sound changes are made. :)
Huh?

I do not see any things popping up off the screen. Please advise how to get that to happen
