    A hit

    The baby loves this. He is trying to get the hang of flicking through the letters. My older kids love to use it to "teach the baby" It's fun.

    Great pics, clear sound

    My son loves this. The app reads the words, then I repeat and have him also. Silly me, I just discovered that if you scroll down, it gives you more objects for each letter!

    Awesome sound / sight association!

    This app is perfect for preschoolers and toddlers as well as special needs students who use assistive technology. I have a few struggling readers in my classroom that will benefit from the picture and sound associations made with the entire alphabet. Highly reccomended!

    Boringgggg!

    Says my 4 year old grand-daughter. She loves most of the apps but she could not even get to the letter "f" before she pushed it away. It show a picture, the letter and then the name. It is truly a waste of space and money. In less then ten minutes it was deleted.

    Not as interesting to a 2 year old as I thought it would be.

    Doesn't keep a 2 year olds attention very well, she gets bored with it quickly.

    Love it!

    Each letter has more than one picture. It also says the letter and the object so your child can hear the letter and the sound in words. Very Easy to use. My toddler and my preschooler can both use and and LOVE IT!

    Great for toddlers

    Perfect, simple entertainment for my 19month old. Nice clear images & audio. There are several different word examples for every letter so its lengthy & not boring. Easy to move through. Much more to offer than the boardbook version!

    Basically its like flash cards

    Kind of boring to my 4yr old. Would be better if it had more options and was more interactive.

    Check spelling of yak

    This app is ok. It has nice pictures. 'Yak' is spelled 'yack'. Might want to fix that. How would people get a corrected version?

    Great flashcards!

    Gorgeous pics, nice recordings, and for less than a buck! Paper cards or an abc book are $ 4.99 and up. A bargain of an educational tool.

    Having sound problems. Here is the fix.

    Under NOOK Color Settings, then Sounds, make sure to turn up your media volume to a higher level. That should fix your sound problems.

    Do you need sound?

    If you don't have good sound, go to your settings. Click sounds or volume. Turn up your media setting. I did this and the app works wonderfully now.

    Good app for preschoolers

    I like the app for my preschool age daughter. However, I wish the sound could be louder on it. I have the nook volume all the way up, but we both still have to strain to hear. Otherwise, a good app for letter recognition.
