ABC Kids - Tracing & Phonics Reviews

by Alphabet$

This is the best tracing app I’ve used, primarily because it only lets the kid trace in the correct motion, and starts over when they do something else. I could also choose 1 or more letters to practice. Previously, the best thing is I could set the kid to practice the letter “A” and press the next arrow. After 3 tries they would earn a gift or sticker. Now ABCKids no longer lets us go to the next - I have to back out completely and restart in between each and every try, which means the kid no longer earns a reward after 3 successful attempts. This is upsetting to the child, because I have to take the tablet to set it up, and because there is no longer a reward. With the next ability ABCKids was amazing. Without it, ABCKids feels broken and cumbersome.

This game is a good game, it makes my children want to play and learn. The issue I have with it is when you are playing the game to match up caps and lower letters, the words that are spelled are bad. There word he was matching up was sex! How inappropriate is that? Makes me want to just delete the game. Is this game safe? Or was it just coincidence that is was spelled in that order?!
I’m torn because of this issue. What else is spelled when I’m not paying attention?

It's frustrating because this is a great app and my son loves it, but I don't understand why they will not fix the sound issue. I have an iPhone 7, and the newest IPad and there is no sound for ABCKids . I also have an IPhone 10 max. The 10 has sound, but that is my phone and I don't like my son playing with that one. I bought him the IPad for apps like this and he can't even use it. There are many reviews that have the same complaint, yet the bug is still not fixed.

I really love ABCKids but I wish it could say just the letter sound without adding the vowel “a”. ABCKids says the T says “ta” and it really should just be making the “t” sound without adding vowel sound “a” I am a kindergarten teacher and can’t use ABCKids because of the incorrect sound many of the letters are making. Such as B doesn’t say “ba” otherwise kids will read like this, “baook” for book. They will say “ba” and
Really should only be saying the “b” sound.

Why? Well when I first got the game for my rather which is 5 years old he played for around 1 hour then I had to restart his iPad then we went back it did not let him in and some But it’s ok it’s a nice game but just make it go faster and there need to be more suggestions then just ABC and letters Bye get this game maybe and get a other for math✌🏼

I’m pretty picky when it comes to screen time for my toddler. Here’s why ABCKids makes the cut:
- educational - my 2 year old is quickly learning to trace letters
- no ads!!!
- full version is free, not just one or two letters
- to close out of a particular activity, the x is faded and you have to click and drag it. This helps my son stick with the activity rather than always being tempted to click the red button and get mad when the game disappears.
- requires just the right amount of accuracy - needs to be close but doesn’t have to be exactly in the lines
- fun rewards - verbal encouragement (my son quickly started saying “well done”), stickers (very exciting for a 2 year old), and presents (he doesn’t care as much about these but gets excited when it’s a ball or drum or something else he recognizes and likes)
- Parents can adjust settings to meet the needs of their child
- Activities for different ability levels - some activities are perfect for him right now, others will be perfect for him down the road

So far we’ve only tried the ABC app. Looking forward to trying the others.

Unlike other apps, this has features that you don’t have to PAY to unlock. My daughter loves ABCKids, I highly recommend it to anyone with a toddler! Thank you for allowing education to be fun without a price!!!

To the Developers: thank you for putting your heart and soul into ABCKids. Our 2 year old starting using ABCKids a month ago and he now can correctly pick out 70% of letters and can tell them out of order. He loves Lucas and Ruby and asks us to play with his “fwends”. The positive nature of ABCKids is so special. He now walks around and says Good Job” “You Did It”. The positive reinforcement is really important and well done.
We happily will give him screen time with these apps. We are so grateful for the characters, colors and the add free nature. I bet his 3 year old party will be a Lucas and Ruby Party.

ABCKids is amazing! I looked at other apps but they had ads or only 2 letters. ABCKids is amazing! Within a week, my 2 year old learned most of his letters and new words! I love ABCKids and I definitely recommend it to anyone looking for an educational app. 👍🏻👍🏻

Excellent app found by my 2.5 years old! She loves it! Too bad sound is not working on my iPhone but it doesn’t look like it’s bothering her. And thank you for making it free! I am a teacher and a parent and I agree that every kid should access free education (every where)!

by Tahoeeddie

For all the people who have the problem of no sound, i is the same thing but realized that I had totaled my phone off of silent mode. That is to toggle the sound button on the side of my phone. The switch not just volume control. That worked for me.

I am so excited to see a FREE app that teaches. No advertising, no subscription & no fees to download. These animations in the game are super cute & engaging. One suggestion- It would be nice if there was an option to add personalized lists of words. Thank you so much to the developers for making these series of educational apps!

by AnnGell87

These games are amazing. So much learning for toddlers and preschoolers.
Love how the developers made everything so interesting. Also I’m amazed they are free and with no adds. Big thank for the developers. My kid loves all of your educational games.
Recommend to my friend with kids. And will share with others. Kids can play and learn for hours.
Love it a lot!!!!

Finally a baby app with no adds! We have tried so many baby games for our little guy and every single one has adds somewhere on the screen that makes him want to click. This doesn’t! I’m so happy. Thank you toys for this game. Very cute game too :)

I downloaded ABCKids on February 15, 2022 and I played it myself and enjoyed it. On February 16, 2022 I shared it with my one year old great grandson, I showed him three different learning sessions and he enjoyed.

On the same day I shared it with my three year old great granddaughter and she enjoyed it as well. I shared it with her mom so that she could download it for her and her five year old brother. I really am excited about ABCKids.

I was a Paraprofessional at a public school and worked with grades K-3, I enjoyed it but I am now retired. I will use this to help not only my great, but others that may need my assistance.

Thank You

My 3 yr old LOVES ABCKids! It’s simple enough where she can move through it on her own, there isn’t too much going on to distract her from the main point (which is letter tracing & recognition), and the best part is there are NO ads! My daughter is already spelling half her name on her own (and she has 10 letter in it lol).

by Ianthina

My daughter loves ABCKids (and all the others- we’ve got ABC Kids, ABC Spelling, Sight Words, 123 Numbers, and Math Kids)- and I love how she learns with them! I originally had them on my tablet but it died, so I reinstalled them on my phone for her! Only one “downside”- If you could, can you work on an update so the ones with multiple languages are also available in Greek?

by Qbgirl04

ABCKids is amazing. My son is having a hard time with writing and I was looking for apps to help him. All the apps I came across either cost money or was a trial. I came across this one and he loves it. He gets so excited to use it and loves the rewards and I love how it’s free, ad free, and educational. I downloaded all of their apps.

Thank you for thinking of the kids and giving back. I applaud the team and your mission.

At first I could not get the sound to work even when checking my phone settings and ABCKids settings. Turns out my phone was in silent mode via the side switch! The sound works now. Also, ABCKids developers responded to my concern so that was very helpful! My kids love ABCKids and it reinforces what I try to teach them individually. If there is an opportunity to play a game like this or waste time on a no -learning game, I’d always choose this one!

by User987456

ABCKids is so amazing! I was teaching my 3 year old letters, but she’s been everting tired of it, and isn’t interested. When we used ABCKids she instantly began to remember letters even when we weren’t on ABCKids . Also, unlike most other apps like this, everything is available for free, and they aren’t trying to trick you into buying anything more! I have downloaded over ten apps that all would a few letter for free and ask you to pay for the rest, ABCKids is incredible. I 100% recommend!

My 9 month old really loves all of these games! He would smile so big and laugh every single time he saw the Lucas character! (His name is Lucas too 😁) I even looked online to see if they made a Lucas plush doll. But they changed the way the character looks and though my son doesn’t give the same reaction he still enjoys the games :)

by Jennelen

We love love these apps! Such a great source of learning! I would have given this a 5 star rating, but I can’t get the sound to work on our iPod.! Seriously download these apps and hopefully they’ll fix the sound soon

by Amyhrdonahue

For those of you concerned about the sound not working — I too was having issues until I turned back on my ringer (turn off vibrate mode). Works perfectly!

Great app! My 3 year old loves collecting the stickers and presents.

by Granny Granny T

Both of my Grandsons love ABCKids! One is 5 the other almost three. It's challenging enough for the 5 year old, but easy enough for the 3 year old. Keeps them entertained! I dowloaded it on old smart phones for them.

by Simba4647474

The sound won’t work for me. I’m up to date and I have my volume up. The settings say I have sound on. :(

That worked! Ya! Thanks a bunch

by Baby Of January

My girl is only 32 months and she has learned the outlines of all letters plus words that start w each letter. Great program it works.

by Whfivhsoxbwos

I’ve checked the settings still nothing.
