What it is:an app teaching letters and numbers (shapes of letters and numbers, sounds, tracing, writing).

What you do with it:please see our video review.

What we liked:great concept, overall look and feel, simple operation and navigation, types of activities, great educational value (inclusion of uppercase and lowercase letters as well as 'written' fonts), visual clues.

What we didn't like: we missed some sort of spoke instructions.

What it is and what you do with it: writing/tracing practice (uppercase letters, lowercase letters, numbers, words).

Practice tracing while helping Lipa Mole dig his way through tunnels.

What we liked: the concept. Simple graphics and animations. Ease of use. Sounds and sound backgrounds. No distracting elements.

What we didn't like: only linear navigation (you can't choose a particular letter or number to practice). We wish there was more variety in the activities.
