This two yr old loves it. It has a lot of great learning content and with pass, it's all open. There are simple, sweet sounding songs that littles can actually sing along with. Letters and their sounds. Numbers and quantity. Size comparison. Pattern recognition. There's a lot! You won't feel guilty letting your child use this app, there's so much they learn while using it.
Exceptional set of apps. The games are hugely developmental, engaging and yet simply designed. Everything also looks to be designed with neuro diverse children in mind: there are no screaming / competing characters, loud music, no overload of activity or colours. The songs are beautiful and engaging, the meditations are a great hit with my 3 year old, the books are brilliant for both reading practice and imaginative play. I don't understand people complaining about the cost - so much content!
This is an excellent early learning app; enjoyable and educational. It is well thought out to maximize learning as it teaches phonetics along with letters, numerals and number values, has tracing activities for numerals and letters, spacial awareness/direction games, memory, puzzles and much more. The only let down is the price, it's expensive and an ongoing cost rather than 1 off purchase. I wish that great learning tools like this were made more accessible to lower income families.
We love this app! My daughter loved it from the start. I tried other apps but none got her attention like this one did. It's pricey but worth it. She has been learning so much. She loves to trace the letters/numbers and playing with the puzzles. She loves to spin the wheel at the end of the activity. Overall, this is a very interactive colorful app full of great educational content.
Best app for kids! So many ways to learn and this app allows kids to see all those ways in a creative, exciting place. I'm a teacher, and I would recommend this to all parents.
