-Elephant

The author has already made his name famous on YouTube with this video. He converted it into an app for the iPhone. It has a few additional interactive features not possible for a video. It used to be free, but I think it’s worthwhile to get it at a modest 99 cents.

The tune he wrote for this app is really catchy, including the parts where his daughter interrupts when he “makes” a mistake.

You can always search for the YouTube video first to get a preview. You can then decide if you really want to buy it.

-Tozzle

Since a free edition was available, I got that first. My children loved it to bits. Cute animals that makes sounds when you tap on them, and a satisfying song when you complete matching the puzzle. The free one has only 2 puzzles though.

At a slightly hefty price of $1.99, I decided to search for other apps first and see if they would drop the price sometime. Although it’s only a measly dollar difference, I was still thrilled to get it for just 99 cents one time offer.

It definitely has very memorable theme music and sounds for kids to keep playing it over and over again.

-FW Deluxe

Basically just a game for kids to match letters to the word puzzle, with quite a lot of words you can match. Tap and drag the correct letters.

This is the full game with all words and categories present. It is quite expensive at 4.99. I thought it was better than trying to get a few separate apps since they had separated the categories into different apps. Plenty of different words to learn too.

My kids quickly got used to it so on hindsight, perhaps it was more cost effective to buy just one category at a lower price.
