This is a fantastic idea for an app, but a few things fell apart in the execution. First, the letters tracing (to get balloons) isnt nearly as strict as the tutorial. My son basically touches the screen in three different places when trying to "trace" an A and it says good job and lets him move on. Whats the point? Secondly, the "next" and "previous" signs are in VERY bad spots. They are right where my son rests his hand (especially in the letter matching/coloring pages activity) so hell be at various points of finishing (very often close to finishing) and hell hit the "next" button and then he has to go back and start all over again. More frustrating for him, but again; why?! I so badly want him to be self sufficient with the app and only request help when the actual goal is a difficult one, not because of oversights in design/execution. Having said that, I have seen a dramatic change even in the way he doodles on paper (he is almost 2 and a half). I also absolutely love that he can record his own voice saying each letter.
