If you liked our review of First Words Animals by Learning Touch, then you will really like First Words Deluxe! It includes the same game play, but with Animals, Shapes, Colors, items in the home, vehicles and all words. I like the last one all words. This keeps my 3 year old going for a long time!
The existing review stands. Great gameplay with the scrabble like interface and the repetition of the letters and words is outstanding! You cannot beat an audible and visual game with an actual tactile movement. This means your kid learns while playing.
In this case I give it an updated 5/5 for attention. The additional categories make this an app that lasts a while! And she keeps coming back to it.
So Attention 5/5, Fun 4/5, Learning 5/5 for a total of 14!
Elementary Science 7-9 from Aimer Media is a great learning tool for your 2nd to 3rd grader. The questions are well done as is the gameplay which we will see more of in future reviews of the company’s apps. You can see that my 9 year old is having a pretty easy time with the questions, but she has left 3rd grade and is entering 4th, so still age appropriate. She has been a bit ill, but thought that she could play the game for a good 30 minutes at a time and would probably play it for 10 hours total – that is a lot!
After we shot a few videos she was left with my phone (3G in this case) and played for a good 20 minutes then asked if this was on “her phone too?” It is.
I give this one a 5 for learning, 4 for attention and a 3 for fun. As you can see from the reviews not all apps can be fun and learning. So far this score of 12 is really good. Well worth the purchase price.
The developer has different versions for the US as well as the rest of the world. We have another set of apps to review my Aimer Media and think they are doing an outstanding job! It is a great thing to build a learning application and provide it at a reasonable cost as a majority of our apps on this site have done. Thanks guys!
My 3 year old really like to spell and letters in general. She has really taken a liking to First Words Animals by Learning Touch. It is a simple game where the scrabble like letters are scrambled at the bottom of the screen and the animal is shown at the top. If you touch the animal a voice tells you what the animal is. You can then grab the letters to match them up to the word – scrabble like.
It may seem simple, but this game is really well done. Not only are there a lot of animals and the potential for many more with updates from the developer, but also the way the letters are pronounced and repeated along with each word is fantastic as a reinforcement for learning.
This game is suited for ages 2- 5. I give it an attention of 4, fun of 4 and learning of 5 for a total of 13.
