NOTE TO PARENTS:
Knowing how to read is optional for this game. The game is voice / audio driven by design. Please adjust the game to fit your childs skill level in the setting area. Use this as a teaching tool that makes learning how to count fun and entertaining.
**************************************************
GAME FEATURES:
- Reading not required since the game is audio driven. Each question is spoken by a professional recorded voice for young kids.
- Synchronized animations to simulate natural counting habits.
- Touch the animals on the screen to hear the numbers being counted sequentially - develops early motor skills - very interactive to your childs touch.
- Hear the animals name as well as their natural sound. For instance, for the frog, the voice will say "FROG" followed by the sound "ribbett ribbett...". This develops early recognition of animals images to their names and to their sounds.
- 40 different animals and sounds to keep your child entertained while they learn.
- Progressively gets more challenging (higher numbers to count) as the child successfully completes every level.
- Positive reinforcement system for completing each level and unlocking virtual pets - this encouragement makes your child want to progress to higher levels to be rewarded.
*** Suitable for ages 2 and older.
Latest reviews of 123 Animals Counting - Kids / Toddler Voice Flash Cards Game app for iPhone and iPad
This app wasnt bad when it was free, it was very simplistic and not much to it, what else can you expect for free. When I purchased this app, I was hoping to see considerable improvements but the only improvements were bonus toys that you can unlock each time you complete a level...the toys dont do anything except move around the screen so whats even the point? Also, going from levels 1-4 (so far) I havent seen any challenge increase...I was hoping this game would start showing numbers going very high (like to 100) but so far I havent seen anything past number 10... Im glad you can turn the voices off so my daughter cant simply rely on what the voice says but you should be able to turn the numbers off too (the ones shown on the animals when you touch them) because I found she relied too much on those numbers rather than her own memory. Also, if you get to level 4 (for example) and then go to the home screen (whether by accident or intentional) you cant resume where you last left off, it makes you start at level one again...shouldnt I be able to choose what level I want her to be at? Not that Ive noticed any real difference between levels at all. This game is strictly meant for kids ages 2-3, I wouldnt suggest for anyone older, its too easy. I wish the description of this game would tell you that...I feel ripped off (my daugther is 4). Not enough detail in the description of this game at all... Again, this game is not worth buying...stick to the free version, its the same thing.
Childs progress is not saved and cannot be adjusted. This means that a child who has counting 1-10 down has to play the game for an hour before they "level up" enough to get to the numbers they need to learn. Major flaw in my mind. I want a refund or better yet a save feature added!
