Endless Alphabet

Well I am impressed. I purchased full version within 15 minutes of trying it. Frustration free game play and learning for my 2.5 year old. That just hasn't happened using any other game we've tried. There's always sticking points where he would begin melting down because he couldn't figure out how to get past it. This one has none of that. Even if he's struggling with a letter he will keep trying till he gets it, then clap with the monsters when he gets it. It's a great little game!

so many issues. I purchased the app then 3 days later it asked me to pay again and all letters were locked. I ordered again and now the animation after completing a word just doesnt happen. nothing happens. I purchased this bc it was recommended by a friend. I tested the open letters and all was perfect. after purchasing (2x) nothing but bugs. so annoying and frustrating

This is a fantastic app for my Autistic kid to learn the alphabet. She's 2.5 and can say maybe 50 words total, but now she knows the alphabet and can count to 20 after playing with the Endless Alphabet and Endless Numbers apps. I just REALLY wish we could lock the word puzzles to require the letters in order, which would also help with phonics. We have the Kindle versions and that's not an option but ought to be imo (not sure if it's a thing on iOS).

I absolutely LOVE this app! I've downloaded the Learning Academy for my iPad, and the Endless Alphabet app for both my iPad and Android. It is helping my 3-year-old with Autism learn to read. He echoes the sound that the letters make and then says, "I'm a "insert letter matching the sound he's making." He also points out letters on signs and food boxes. Definitely worth it!

All of the "Endless..." games we've tried (Alphabet, Reader, Wordplay, and Numbers) try to appeal to both younger learners and older - honestly, not always successfully. However, Endless Alphabet is the best of the bunch for young learners, and in my opinion, well worth the money. The free trial version is entirely representative of the full game. This is how it works: a word appears on the screen (say Gargantuan). Each letter has a different appearance/color. When you pick it up, makes the sound that matches its position in that particular word (hard "G-G-G"s for gargantuan, but a soft "G" in some other words). The monsters run by and "knock off" and scramble the letters from the word. The child needs to place the letters back into their spots (in any order). When the letter is placed correctly, it makes its name sound ("Gee!"). Once the word is filled in, there's a cartoon illustrating the word, and the narrator speaks the definition. What this app does well for young learners - capital letter recognition matching, learning names of letters, teaching of basic consonant sounds - it does VERY VERY well. The animations of each letter, and the cute monster cartoons for the vocabulary words (more for older learners) keep the younger ones engaged. The adult that occasionally plays along may find it somewhat enjoyable too. :-) Our 3.5 was allowed to play it 2 times a week for 10-40 minutes each, and had a decent grasp of all of the above after 1 month, and a good grasp after 2 months. Now he calls out the letters (by their sounds) he sees in street signs and around the house. He loves the cartoons, but is not really picking up the vocabulary. That's all right - still worth it. The weaknesses of the game come from 1. the utter screwiness of the English language and 2. from trying to appeal to different ages. Note that Endless Wordplay and Reader do address some of these - but again, those apps also suffer from trying to appeal to different age groups, with their own issues. Perhaps as a separate app, "Alphabet - The Next Generation", focusing on both letters and phonics, and aimed just at younger learners, might be considered? (Similar to how there is Dragonbox Algebra 5+ and Dragonbox Algebra 12+?) 1. The letters can be dropped into the word in any order. It would help younger learners if the letters could only be dropped in left to right (similarly to a done in either Reader or Wordplay - can't remember which.) 2. Because words are long, they can have multiples of the same vowel, with different sounds. So in "BETWEEN", 2 letters make an "ee" sound and 1 makes a "eh" sound - but they can be dropped in anywhere. That's an issue with the language more than this game, and the only way I can see to fix it is to "stick" EE together so it would be dropped into the word as a unit. That would not work well here, as it would make the step of speaking the letter name confusing. Hence the suggestion for "Alphabet - the next generation" ;-) 3. Building on the above, combined sounds ("th/ph/ch/sh") could be taught if 2 letters could stick together. Same for combined vowels. Limitations aside, this is a well-thought through game, and we've paid for it twice (on both android and kindle). Recommend.

We absolutely adore this app! It's helped my toddler learn her letters and she has so much fun with it. It also makes me laugh, too. 3 starts because it is intelligible for Google family library which means I bought a copy, dad has to buy a copy, and we have to buy a copy for her tablet if she wants it on all devices. Please fix this problem. The game is phenomenal. I have purchased some other games by you all as well before I realized we couldn't use them across family devices.

This game was great! Tried it out myself and so far, I definitely loved it! I even loved the narrator saying the letters as they're placed in the right spot. I'm still wondering who she is and her name is. I was wondering that because I keep hearing that new updated voice in Endless Learning Academy.

Wish there were different age levels to choose for this and being able to "level up". names of letters/sounds of letters/sounding out words/reading shirt sentencea/long sentences. (i know theres the reading app but thats a big step up.) The words are pretty big for my son (2.5). He loves the numbers app and matching but also seems like a big jump from learning numbers to learning addition right away.

Unfortunately in-app purchase is required to access full alphabet, this prevents use with Google Play Family Library meaning purchases can not be shared between multiple devices. If you have multiple kids and multiple devices you will likely find this simply too expensive. Have to admit the app itself is great and children seems to love it. Sincerely hope developer will reconsider functionality with family library, then I would be more comfortable to recommend to family & friends.

Only not 5 stars because doesn't allow family sharing, what, both parents have to pay for it? otherwise great app, fun and funny and I think kids learn both identification of letters, their sounds, and their contribution to the words. Plus some fun long words for the kids to use randomly. In app purchase needed to get all the words. Really sucks that family share doesn't apply to that. I have a separate account on my tablet I let kids play with and can't share the entire app.

Nice, but the little skits are not playing after the word is put back together. Can someone help and fix this problem? I paid for the entire app. I am looking to purchase other products but, may not if this issue doesn't get resolved. I have submitted the issue to the email you gave. Waiting on a response.

Just for knowledge to other parents, this app is a great for youngsters to learn the sounds of the alphabet as well as for special needs children. My Son has been playing on this app since I found it seven years ago. It taught him his alphabet and keeps him coming back to practice. The little cartoons that explain the words are very well done and makes my son laugh. Once again. Thanks for the game!!

Amazing on all fronts! Nice sounding voices, adorable animations, makes learning fun and engaging like it should be, no propaganda or weird content, teaches phonics and makes it fun! My 3&1/2 year old took to it like a duck in water and it's definitely going to help with early reading skills and it has some very hard words in it. But you know it's good when you hear a toddler whisper words like "stupendous" under his breath. Definitely worth the $9.

This app seemed very buggy to me at first and was giving me disc space warnings when I had downloaded the extension pack. It was all due to the fact that storage permissions were not turned on and it no point in the installation did it ask me to approve storage permissions. This seems like a bit of an oversight and it certainly going to piss anybody off like me after purchasing a $9 upgrade and then not being able to use it. I wish that the error messages were a little more explicit and helpful.

I love this app but feel it would be a lot better if it allowed parents to choose age appropriate words instead of a jumble words at 3 to 8 year old reading levels together. A 3 year would be better off learning easier words like CAR, CAT and DOG instead of ARTISTIC and CONTRAPTION. Edit: Increased review to 5 stars thanks to developer's openness to feedback. My 3 year old loves this app and is learning new words she wouldn't be exposed to otherwise. Would still love the option I mentioned.

I can't believe how much this works. My 2 year old had been having issues speaking more than just one or two words. Trying to expand his vocal rang had been so challenging. I turned to the internet for help. Saw how much games inspired children and so I searched the app store for a few. This one by far is worth the money.

10 years ago, I used to like it when I was 3 and 4. When I was 4, I'm a little mythed that all other words were locked because the trial version was A to C. I really can't fault Originator Inc. for that, though. It may be the developer's fault. But besides that, the game with the words looks like my LED sign in California and New York. They took place of the full version of words that they are locked, but words are automatically defined/explained by a pleasant female voice who sounded like me.

Since my kids love the Endless Numbers game, I had to purchase this games as well. My kids are only 2 & 1 right now they both love playing as well as watching others play this game. My kids really love the animations as well as the puzzle aspect. All the games by this developer are worth the investment. I highly recommend purchasing this games as well as the other.

I still wish there were high frequency words in the app but I can see the thought process behind why there aren't. My daughter loves this app. It is easily her favorite. She is just over 2.5 and is already displaying a preschool/kindergarten level of identification, sound to letter correspondence, pronunciation, and vocabulary. As a previous teacher and stay at home dad I am a big advocate of expanding your child's vocabulary early and using correct pronunciation.

I've used this app for 6 years or so between my 4 children. I love the simplicity that there aren't tons of other bells and whistles and "rewards". It's just very well made, enough to keep all ages engaged. I feel this app was foundational to phonics and is why my olders have excelled at language arts. I recommend it!
