My First Words - Flashcards & Games

My almost 2-year old doesn’t have many words, and this app was exactly what I was looking for. The interface is very simple to use and minimal. I love that you can make your own custom flash cards specific to your child, and I appreciate that there are no distracting colors or excessive sounds (like the other speech apps for children). My only suggestions are to enable flash cards to be copied or moved to different folders and to allow photos within a folder to be draggable and placed in whatever order you want. This is a great tool to learn language, and I highly recommend!

My 18 month old loves playing on this app on my phone. We go over the words together, it’s such a great learning tool. However; I decided to add it to my 5th gen iPad so we could see it on the bigger screen. I even paid the .99 upgrade just like I did on my iPhone. I was disappointed when I pulled it up to find that it won’t make any sounds (saying the words). I checked the volume, even went into the settings on the app to make sure it showed the sound was on. Frustrated, I deleted the app and reinstalled it to see if it would work, but it still won’t say any of the words with the pictures. On top of that, because I deleted the app, it took away my expanded package and has locked half of the flash cards again. Please fix!

This is such a helpful app for creating flash cards. When I try to customize a new list, however, it does not allow me to create a new photo from my existing photos, even though that option is available. I’m not sure if I’m doing something wrong or if I’m missing something obvious, but I’ve not been able to use that function. But for a free app, it’s really quite amazing.
