Pros and cons of ABC Phonics Animals - Talking and Spelling app for iPhone and iPad

ABC Phonics Animals - Talking and Spelling app good for

Great for parents that want their kids to have head start in reading. My kids love it and I LOVE IT that they love it!!!
He loves the positive feedback he gets when he answers correctly. Hes learning and doesnt even realize it.
Kudos points for the developer - first time I think my kids actually enjoy learning. The sounds and pictures of the animals keeps them entertained.
This app is everything u need to teach your toddler the alphabet, and it fits right in your pocket.
My 4-year-old loves this app. The animal pictures are not always obvious but he still really enjoys it and the phonics component is wonderful. No problems with the app crashing like others have said.
This is a great app!! It has helped my young son learn his letters and sounds! It is plain and to the point. I would like more up dates but we as a family love it. Keep up the great work!!

Some bad moments

You used the same animals as zooSpelling and that spelling program has been out for a while. You need to have some interactivity to teach spelling, interactivity is not listening.
Need to make the pics look more like the animal and have it announce what the animal is when tapped, Im 46 yrs. old and didnt recognize what they where or even heard of some of the animals. My granddaughter is four and learning to read, so she needs to be able to even recognize the animals, before reading it.
My daughter could not recognize some of the pictures at that rate neither could I. I also agree the animals name should be said when the kid is trying to match the name with the animal.
I had the free version, went ahead and bought the full version. Whenever I open the app, it crashes, much to my daughters upsetness. She actually did enjoy playing with this but it wont work. Am very, very disappointed.
Crashes when my son opens flashcards. Pictures not easy to recognize.
Updated iphone firmware & ABC Phonics- Animals crashes as soon as you pick animal flashcards now. Used to work fine.
