Latest reviews of Preschool & Kindergarten Game app for iPhone and iPad
This app has kept my three year old busy for over an hour already and hes hardly gotten into it! He LOVES the tracing and the letters and pictures, its very hands on. I call this a win!
This Kids Academy app is focused on learning to write letters, numbers, and shapes. Its easy to use and the navigation is very kid friendly. The tracing is smooth and unlike some tracing apps, if my three year old messes up halfway through tracing the letter, he doesnt have to start all the way over. He can pick up from where he traced outside of the lines. My 16 month was also able to engage in this app!
Yes, the app costs almost 10$ but kids love playing on it and best of all they are learning! Its a fun and engaging app that will keep kids entertained with the variety of games that target specific skills.
Parts of it are ok. We liked collecting fireflies, but then that was the only reward! There needs to be more variety, We also experienced a lot of repetition and frustration. They try to encourage you, but it gets frustrating if you’re not pressing the screen with the correct pressure or your line didn’t go all the way on the dotted line, the voice tells you “IT’S EASY”.. when clearly you’re having a struggle. In “Kid” mode there are still “Parent Area Ahead” ads at the top. In Parent Mode there are even more ads. When you pay for an app you shouldn’t have to be bombarded with constant ads, let alone when your child is trying to play and there are places they cannot access. I feel this is an app more appropriate for 2-3 year olds. Now at age 5, my daughter is less interested in tracing letters and numbers just to collect fireflies. She did like the Alphabet area where you see the word and can click for animation. I thought the transition speed between letters was a bit slow. We like the rainbow colors. Theyre appealing to the eye. $9.99 is a bit expensive for the value. I could not imagine spending $20 on this app. However, $7.99 would be good. Like I said, great for 2-3 year olds, maybe even 4.
My son just turned 5 in Feb. He was very engaged with this app. The description on this app is very accurate. It is interactive worksheets. I homeschool and see this as a great school aide. It not only helps with writing readiness but the alphabet part helps build vocabulary as well! Another great thing is that it is so simple that he can do it 100% on his own. It also offers a lot of positive reinforcement. This app may seem a tad high but in reality its not. You are really getting several apps that are normally $1.99 and up each. That makes this one pretty cost effecient!
