Eggy Alphabet

When I try to get all 18 critters it gets reset back to 0 which means it’s impossible to get all 18 critters

Don't buy ..

I want to purchase an app like this for my classroom rotation activity - Technology Table - I love that the user can self-review the "draw the letter" function. However the "trace the letter" function is abysmally sensitive! I have perfect handwriting and still get yelled at by the egg. Must be either removed or improved. I cannot allow this app, in its current state, to destroy my students' confidence at this crucial phase of their literacy education.

It's a good start for letter recognition and beginning writing skills. My son enjoys all of his "Eggy" apps and loves working on his Reading Eggs account online but this app became just a little difficult as we increased the difficulty settings to hard. Even I couldn't write properly according to the app and it's just too discouraging there. I downloaded and used it fine to an iPad mini 2 but it wouldn't open at all on my iphone 6 plus. Also, we have no idea where the internal app upgrade is inside the app as there was no extra feature. It looked a complete app as is so I can only assume the advertisement here is wrong? So If you want to stick with this app, we found it ok if we used either easy or medium setting but if your child wants to master early writing using the iPad or iPhone I'd suggest Writing Wizard even though it's $8 Aus as you can even print off worksheets. Don't be discouraged though, this app is still great and will work fine if you keep the difficulty settings right for you. Just don't bother with "hard".

The tracing part is so pedantic and then says bad luck. I ended up doing it for my child and even I got a bad luck. Very disappointing when it is already difficult to see what you are tracing over when you use your finger.

I wish i had read the other reviews befire purchasing this app. The tracing is far to hard and hearing 'bad luck' over and over is not encouraging. The reading eggs game on pc is fantastic but this app is a waste of money

I can't believe it constantly says bad luck if it's not absolutely perfect! Are you serious?! I want my money back!

Application freezes when try opening. Have not been able to use it

My 4 year old LOVEs this app, however I am really disappointed that for him to be rewarded with a certain 'critter' they have to play the app for 30 or 60 minutes. Considering this is an educational app it really shouldn't be encouraging young children to be playing for that length of time.

This App is such a disappointment. Like being in a class with a boring, critical, pedantic teacher. The negativity and monotony of 'bad luck, bad luck' is frustrating to listen to and I'm not even playing it. My 4 yr old does a darn good job of tracing over the clouds or leaves or dot to dot. But she lifts her finger up, turns a corner a little too sharply and it's not 'try again' but 'bad luck'? She covers all the images with her trace, does it within the shadow, it looks like the letter and still 'bad luck?' I'm so close to deleting but am hoping it will be rectified as does have some promise. Download 'Writing Wizard' for your child instead to practice their letters; now that's a great (and fun) app!
