ABC Genius - Preschool Games for Learning Letters App Reviews

I am working on phonics with my daughter I am was jumping from one app to another trying to find different exec prices for each letter and voila it appeared in one app! It is fun and lots of different activities for each letter. Thank you!

The application is generally good, but lacks the ability to record your own voice and the facility for tracing letters in a manner befitting a left-handed person, or to personalise the tracing route. Per-loaded voice has a United States accent only.

Great app for small kids (4-5 years old)! They can learn the letters and the phonics playing and enjoying!

This is good app but need to have a way to stop or get out of each game. Havent tried it with students. I think it will be boring for them. Ill add more after students try it.

This is a very straightforward way to learn some basic skills. I like how the wrong answer disappears but there is no reinforcement of correct sounds or words after identifying so of limited learning value. Also no way of tracking success or varying presentation. I dont see any child clamoring for this. Still it is a nice, clean design and good range of skills. Needs better reinforcers and more settings options.

I really like the app. The pics are great. It would be nice if in the "a is for" part there were lowercase letters and they would say object name or sound after child gets to correct. "Your right...a is for apple a a a. I would like that in the phonics section too. You should also add a "abc touch" lowercase with phonics instead of just names. :).

Very educational!

This is an wonderful app! As a former Kindergarten teacher, reading specialist and current first grade teacher, I would definitely recommend it to parents and teachers. The graphics are cute, the directions/activities are simple and clear and I am impressed with the range of letter activities provided. Here are a few questions, suggestions and comments that I hope will be helpful considerations as your designers work to improve and enhance this product: TRACE THE ____ (capital letters) At first it seemed that the little tracer icons began with the same sound as the letter but after letter S this was no longer true. Although it is a subtle feature, matching the tracer icons with the sound of that particular letter is a good reinforcer for youngsters. Trace the capital Z did not work - no tracing icons appeared. I love that the letters can only be formed in the proper way and if another way is tried you get a slight sound effect to indicate no. It is important to learn the right way from the get-go. Will Trace the lower case letters be added? It should. Lower case are even trickier than upper case. MATCH THE PICTURE TO THE LETTER IT BEGINS WITH Children may have trouble identifying some of the pictures. For example, j-jewel but the picture is of a RING with a jewel; d-dart; y-yacht - they will call this a boat; the baby eagle for e is also a tough one. LETTER IN BETWEEN 2 PICTURES The directions say match the sound in the middle to the pictures that start with it but a "sound" cannot be pictured so a letter is there. Reword the directions to say something like "Think of the sound for the letter in the middle. Match it to the pictures that start with that sound." Also, being able to touch the letter to hear the sound would be helpful for many youngsters. The G exercise in this game is a confusing one. An animal that looks like a gorilla and a giraffe are the choices. Giraffe is the correct answer however, giraffe does not begin with gs most common sound - as in "go". The animal that looks like a gorilla is probably an ape. For new learners this doesnt make sense. There are a few other pictures students would probably have trouble identifying in the way the designers expected: i for infant (they will call it a baby); p for puppy (they will call it a dog); t for truck (to children the beginning sounds like /chr/ rather than /t/; zephyr will also be a tricky one. If children do know what it is at all, they are likely to call it a blimp not a zephyr. And finally: Consider adding two setting features: the ability to navigate through the alphabet rather than having to go through the whole thing each time; provide an option to turn of the repeating of the directions for every screen within the same game. Keep up the great work. Your products are top notc

This app is perfect for a preschooler just starting to recognize and write letters.

I just downloaded and it looks really good. I did find one mistake when I went through the K workbook on one page it called the K "H", hopefully this is a minor bug that can easily be fixed with an update.

Great app for pre schoolers. It allows ample time to enjoy, practice, and learn each letter. Simple and bright pictures. Loved the encouragement for the user to make each letter correctly by following an object representing the letter sound. Great job!

This app is great in teaching young children their alphabet letters and phonics which is important in learning early literacy.

I love this app! It has so many aspects necessary to learn to read. Theres recognizing capital letters, small case, and later matching them together. Then theres practice tracing the shapes of the letters, or choosing pictures whose name begins with the letter. There are so many different approaches that a child could work on that it will be easy to keep their interest. The only difficulty that I had was in trying to rate it! Each time I went to the settings page and tapped on "rate this app" it responded that it could not connect with the Itunes store. I had to exit the app to go to the store!

What a wonderfully, simple app to " play" with. It is simple to use and easy for my 4 year old grandson to enjoy. The pictures are simple, but the color is nice. Thank you for continuing to offer these fun and educational apps!!!

Where are the lessons after K? I didnt check all the letters but I found many errors in J and K lessons. In K lessons, there are some sounds and references to H In J lesson - a hard g sound was made After funding errors in these two sections I gave up. I know you will fix this since you have put out many great apps I use!

I liked the fact that your program doesnt reward incorrect answers. Some programs make a sound that encourages kids with Autism to continue to do the wrong answer to get that sound. This one makes a very light sound and takes away the wrong answer.

I like the app but it stopped at K need L through Z too. Alphabet does not stop at K

I am a kindergarten teacher, and this app looks to be extremely helpful for my students with letter names, letter sounds, phonemic awareness, phonics, and proper handwriting. I am so happy! I would love the full alphabet!

As a kindergarten teacher I can see many uses for this app in small groups! Looking forward to more letters being added!

Great app. My son loves tracing the letters.
