App Review: ABC Animals – Talking Alphabet Cards for Kids

If your kids loved Letters A to Z then ABC Animals – Talking Alphabet Cards for Kids would probably be a hit with them as well. It’s well-illustrated, easy-to-use and educational. The animations are also fun.

For each letter of the alphabet, a letter and an animal are shown. You can touch the letter to hear it spoken, touch the animal to hear its name spoken and easily flip though the full alphabet.
Without question, the production values on this app are fantastic – it’s just too bad that it exactly duplicates the approach of previous apps. With my daughter’s frequent requests for “new app”, it’s nice to have a bit of variety among the well-produced apps. And that’s the thing that’s really lacking with this app – the concept here is identical to Letters A to Z.

While I love the concept and the execution of this app, if you’ve already got one of the apps out there that’s virtually identical, you may not need this one. That said, if you don’t yet have an ABC animal flash card app for your toddler that they love, this one will likely be a hit. You can get it here.

Hope to see more original kids apps from these developers – they definitely know what they are doing.
