This has so much potential for special needs kids or kids who are learning language - its a great idea! I loved that you can create buttons using your own photos. Unfortunately it seems to have a few bugs. I just downloaded it and created a few custom buttons. I wish they would be added to the "sample buttons" list-- but they aren't. Or better yet, allow me to create my own custom list-- but that isn't an option. Also, while it is kind of fun to "pop" the buttons they didn't consistently pop and this would be frustrating to a child who is learning cause and effect. All the photographic backgrounds are ok but for the most part a simple solid colored background would be less distracting to kids with special needs. How about adding an option to create a memory game where the child could flip buttons to find matches?
A great, simple app for the kids

The app is simple and intuitive for my kids to explore. My 5 year old and 2 year old have been fighting over who gets to use this app next! Great job!
Nice job!!

Downloaded and my 3 year old played for a few minutes then wanted to play something else. It is probably for younger kids, he seemed to lose interest. It looks nice, performs as described, fun to make buttons appear (even for me!) and would be really cool on an iPad. Only reason for 4 stars and not 5 is the fact that changing backgrounds is a little tricky to figure out... But would probably be a breeze on an iPad. I'm only on my iPhone. Nice job guys! Can't wait to see what you have next!! :) UPDATED: Apparently, the 2 finger thing didn't bother my 3 year old. He figured it out way faster than his mom did. He asked me for it the second I walked in from work. He and his 4yo brother fought over it at dinner.
Easy and educational

This is a great app for little kiddos to learn about sounds, shapes, and objects. It's well worth the small price. Looking forward to more from this company!
Version 1.1 is even better!

Version 1.1 is so cool! A parent can use this app to teach a toddler language skills now. With the new ability to create your own custom buttons, the possibilities are endless. I showed my little one how to create the custom buttons. She gets a kick out of the creation part and spends about 1/3 of her time in creation mode and the rest playing with it. She loves to create her own buttons! Kudos on the great update. Original review (Version 1.0) : I thought my youngest child may be too old to enjoy this, but I was wrong. This is an interesting app that my 5 year old has really latched onto. She loves playing with it! It is simple to use and requires no instruction. The child learns what the app does by simply touching and exploring the app, the way children learn about so much in the world. Definitely worth the price, this app is an immersive way for a child to explore and feel empowered as she plays with the vividly colorful images and sounds. It really holds my child's attention well. Obviously, this app has been kid-tested and built with the child in mind. It works great on both my iPhone and iPad. Nicely done!
Great app for kids with special needs

Great App!!

I love that I can create custom buttons. I've been able to add pictures of family and teach my autistic daughter who people are by face and name :)
Great app

This is a great app! Love that I can add pictures that are personal as well as sounds to go with them. Wonderful!
Awesome!

I use this app to help my baby learn faces and names of family and friends who live far away. I've customized buttons with each person's picture, so when she taps the picture, she hears my voice say the person's name aloud. PERFECT! I love that I can disable all the standard buttons for when I want her to concentrate on names and faces, or enable them when I want her to learn other things.
