UPDATE RUINED THE APP!!! – Preschool Games Endless Kindergarten App for Kids Review

********************* Look below to see my five star review. I've now changed it to one and I'm deleting this useless app. The update not only deleted my accounts but also made the app nearly unplayable. My son is pre-K and used to spend hours tracing words and proudly showing me his work. There are now a lot of confusing downloads to games that no longer function and ones that want my money. After my son FINALLY was able to finish tracing a word with the now-broken word tracing game, it immediately skipped to the next word without us being able to see his work. No more of the cute encouragement sounds. The letter tracing is why I had the app in the first place! I'm deleting this and finding something that works. Bye, Bitsboard. :'( ******************** OLD REVIEW Sorry for the long review, but this app deserves some praise! I had to tear my phone away from my son to write this review. :) This app is completely free and we never encountered a single ad for the hour+ we've played so far. My son JUST turned 4. He is able to navigate the pages by himself with no problem. The games require no instruction. The letter tracing is the best of any of the apps out there BY FAR! And I've tried a lot of them. My son tends to gets frustrated by controls in other apps that are too sensitive (I've tried some myself and understand how hard it can be). This one does make you start again if you miss, but it allows more wiggle room for error, and makes funny sounds when you do miss. And the best part is that it makes you write each letter how you are actually supposed to hand-write! Imagine that. ;D I personally love the introduction to recognizing words and phrases. You are given a vocal clue an must find the spoken words on the flash cards below. My son can't quite read yet, but this is introducing him to the next step. I'm so amazed just by watching him play this. Also, my son loves the encouraging word after successfully completing each task. ("Sweet!" "Awesome!") And after a few, you get a sticker to add to a picture. The only weird thing so far is the flash cards. The letters are drawn into pictures, and the numbers are tiny. I'd recommend a different way to teach kids numbers and letters at first. This app is more for 3-6 age group to practice dexterity and basic kindergarten skills. Most in this age group should already know how to recognize the numbers, letters, and shapes basically. Everyone with a young child and a smart-device should download this app! I can't believe it's free and devoid of ads. 0_o Seems too good to be true, based on my experience of greedy app developers. lol I'd give this app 8 out of 5 stars (and that's even with the wonky flash cards).
