Reviews

Quality Kindy App!
KoisMama

An educational app my kiddo actually WANTS to play! Good, clear verbal instructions (with no accent) which is helpful for emerging readers. Intuitive hint method (just tap the word or icon) and very few navigational menus within the app; means the kid controls the game. Fun incentives too! Very impressed!

Fantastic fun and educational. Great for phonics

Great for learning phonics

Great teaching tool

My three year old is enjoying this (with help from mom). Great for learning letters, sounds, words, while having fun.

Design flaws
Apples+

My two year old loved it, until the roaring lion, (which sounds realistic and bares his teeth), scared her. She was alright with the crocodile at first, but now when ever these characters come up she immediately shuts down the app. What good is that? One other thing, with the feeding giraffe activity, the options immediately disappear whether or not the kid got the right answer. I would like to see answers return to their original spot if they are wrong and the giraffe doesn't eat them, and them have them faded so they cannot select them again. - Actually this would go for all of the activities that are apart of this app. Highlighting what is correct or wrong is a big part of learning. These two improvements would make this a five star app.
