My kids are teens now but we found old videos of them playing this when they were preschoolers so I wanted to leave a review just for the historical records I guess. Everything about the app was so amazingly put together and taught my kids so well - who by the way are top of their class in school now; I like to pretend it’s because of stellar parenting but honestly a lot of their academic success could maybe be traced to their early learning through endless alphabet!

This apps truly amazing. Funny animations including letter sounds, funny animated sequences when they finish with a word, and very well thought out. Even the letter sounds change depending on the word (eee as opposed to eh). Even the letters themselves are animated along with funny goofy sounds as the child moves it around. And after they spell the word and the animation clip plays out, the child can touch the screen and letters that are in the word fail like little raindrops starting from where they touch on the screen.The words they use are also beyond kindergarten levels. Don't look for apple, boy, car words here. They start right out of the gate with harder words like vegetable, timid, quarrel, and gargantuan. but not to worry since a soothing female narrator explains what the word means once they're done spelling out the word which entails dragging letters onto letter outlines.My ONLY pushback is that it does not cover lower case letters. The entire word is all upper case. It didn't even dawn on me until we started writing the letters on paper. That being said, this app is simply amazing. I have never seen an app that covers letters this thoroughly and in such an entertaining way. Don't hesitate. This is great for kids to learn letters. Even if they are only upper case. I can't take a star away for that oversight when everything else is so phenomenal.

I swear this app has taught my daughter to read by 2.8 years old. I got it for her when she about 1.5 and it used to be all about the phonetics. I wanted her to learn the phonetics of all the letters and the sounds it makes while dragging the letters does that. Also, it impresses people when your 1.5 year old looks like she knows how to spell "catastrophe". Cut to tonight when I got her a post Christmas book "Go Dog Go" by Dr. Seuss and she effing started reading!!! I had no idea she could read but she had never seen this book and she started reading it word for word and my wife an I were in actual shock. I immediately recorded it. We had fears she was learning slowly and now I am planning on which school at MIT to send her! ;) seriously, what a great app. I am sure we owe all of this ability to this app and I decided to write a review to express our happiness. I very rarely write reviews and never this long so please, go help out America and make your child smarter by getting him or her this app. I don't even mean that with hyperbole. It's amazing! Well worth whatever I paid for it. Don't know why I wasted money on hooked on phonics of which I never use. Thanks thanks thanks thanks!!!!!

I was stunned when my 4 yr old started using words like "Bellow" and "Cooperate" correctly in sentences. Then spouting off the definition as if he was a walking dictionary. If I could give this app more stars I would. It addresses every aspect of learning the alphabet and then some. It starts by introducing your child to words like "Pester" and "Lopsided" instead of "pea" or "lion." Then it breaks the word up so your child has to place the correct letter in its place. But as you drag the letter it becomes animated and gives you the phonetic sound of each letter. Once your child has correctly finished the word, your met with a visual demonstration of the definition. A proven way of helping kids retain information. The short animation is followed up by a narrator giving the actual definition. And if that's not enough, they add little tidbits every once in a while about washing your hands or saying "excuse me". Huge fan!!!!! I hope they keep adding more words. It has been the only thing so far to break through to my son when it comes to learning his alphabet. (And I've tried a ton of things.) Thank you!!!7 yr old big brother enjoys the app as well!
