Pros and cons of First Letters and Phonics app for iPhone and iPad

First Letters and Phonics app good for

This app is a fun way for young children to become familiar with their letters. It encourages recognition and helps them to differentiate between the letter shapes.
My child is 4 and she is able to get on the app with easy and enjoys playing and leaning. It simple and easy to use for her.
Great. I asked them to put in phonics. A few weeks later they released an app. Awesome work! I love the song.
My son is 4 years old, non-verbal autisitc. He loves this app & first words deluxe (same devoloper). Before buying this app he didnt understand matching. It was amazing how it only took him a couple minutes to learn (and I mean literally 2 minutes to learn this game!) Great for learning letters. I hope to see more apps like this... numbers, sorting, etc.... THANKS!!!
My 18 month old loves this and is great for her hand-eye coordination as well.
My got this app for my daughter when she was 2 and a half. Two years later she still enjoys playing with this app from time to time!

Some bad moments

Dissapointed there isnt more to this app. Also purchased First Words. Our daughter prefers this one between the two. Not worth 2 bucks. MAYBE $1. Will most likely delete this one.
I thought this would be an improvement from the other "First Words" apps that my 3 yr old enjoys... (which is all about spelling, not phonics) But its no improvement at all. This doesnt even touch on the double sounds that vowels make. Its really basic letter sounds and matching. Not worth $1.99. Sure, the song is nice at the end, so this game is maybe worth $0.50.
I do not recommend. Too simple. Only one alphabet song, one matching word on each letter. We can find better one for free.
Worst app. / total scam. It only gives u small letter and the abc song if u want the capitalize letters then you need to upgrade which cost more. Not happy
This app only has one game and the ABCs song. Your kid will get bored after a day
