Preschool & Kindergarten Game at Mac App Store analyse

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!

I liked how easy it is to trace. It has pretty accurate tracking and doesnt frustrate the kiddos. The voice interaction is friendly and fun, make it enjoyable to learn.The app itself is fun and intuitive. I think its best suited for preschoolers 3-5 since theres a lot of tracing with numbers and letters. Theres also an area in the app that has abcs matched with things that begin with the certain letter they are showing you. Your child clicks on the areas in that specific app game and it will tell you what the name of it is. Kind of interesting and fun, but it doesnt really hold the attention of my nieces too long. Theyre a little bit ADHD and prefer playing something along the lines of barbie dress up instead. Im not sure if I can justify paying $9.99 + tax on it because of this.

These days, children are now part of the statistics using different apps that are now available almost everywhere. Kids academy, however, is one app that you do not want your toddler to miss because it will help develop his/her basic learning. Your child can easily learn the alphabet, learn now to count and do simple math,and even learn to sing. The app makes it possible for the child to learn even when mommy or daddy are busy with something else because its so easy to navigate. It is a Montessori way of teaching, hence, relaxing. Most of all, it is not boring for most kids, so they will want to learn more.
