My ABC Train

NEW REVIEW: This app is now great after the recent update, my daughter loves it. Customer support was awesome and quick to respond by email to inform me of update status and even provided a free app for the inconvenience. OLD REVIEW: Apparently this is not updated for iOS 9. Cannot customize with pictures, will not access camera or photos, app just closes when I try to do so.

My granddaughter likes the robot in the R car the best. But we definitely like to put her favorite toy of the moment in the right lettered car. For example, today we put a picture of a guitar in the G car as she LOVES guitars, which replaced the goat animation. I ask her, "Which letter would the guitar go in?" She sounded it out and said "G!". So we placed it in the G car and she scrolled through the alphabet cars until she got to her letter G. I think that it's good that it makes them go through each car letter to get to their favorite letter as they are forced to see the sequence of the ABC's. For me, some of the cars make me laugh or smile. I like the upbeat background music too. Overall, very good game!

My 2.5 year old sons loves this app. First, it has trains! What boy doesn't love trains? The animations in each train car are great. There will be a letter, say a graffiti style capital D. The child can tap the letter to hear it's name. Then you slide open the train door and see a drum set. If you tap on the drums, there's a brief animation of the drums playing and lights flashing. Each letter of the alphabet has a similar animation. But why my boys like the most is the train engine. You can tap various parts of the train to see and hear different effects such as tapping the driver to see him ring the bell. My only suggestion would be to add some sort of alphabet index so you can skip to specific letters if you want. Otherwise I think it's a wonderful app that's very well designed.
