Eggy Alphabet for Negative User Reviews

✓ Worst review I've given for an AppThis 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!.Rembrandt23Version: 1.1.0

✓ Ok appThe repetition is great for learning. I do not agree with the narrator saying 'bad luck' if there is a mistake. It is quite annoying and does not give the child encouragement. They really should consider improving this..Superb MomVersion: 1.1.0

✓ DisappointingI 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.LizzeebeeeVersion: 1.1.0

✓ Very usable; A good start but hardest level is too sensitiveIt'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"..SleepymomaVersion: 1.1.0

✓ TerribleDon't buy ...Nunook14Version: 1.1.0

✓ Don't botherThis is over sensitive and just not fun. There are other cheaper more fun tracing letter apps. This one does not teach letters is repetitively boring, kept daughter amused for 5 minutes, she gave up as parts where to sensitive and did not let her move forward..Jtothek38Version: 1.1.0

✓ So frustrating the dot to dotI can't believe it constantly says bad luck if it's not absolutely perfect! Are you serious?! I want my money back!.Lucy.spiliVersion: 1.1.0

✓ Please fix the letter tracingFab app - Similar to other great reading eggs products..... Disappointed the iPhone version has an issue with the tracing section - I have 2 frustrated kids trying to hatch their critters because this function doesn't work properly...PLEASE fix ASAP :-) thanks.Eggy FanVersion: 1.1.0

✓ Where are the sounds?As a literacy teacher I am disappointed that this app focuses on the letter names when playing the picture game. Children are taught at school to listen to the sound, letter names only confuse the issue in young children. Please fix this problem, as your apps are usually well designed and are very popular!.Lemons2706Version: 1.1.0

✓ Needs urgent work..Please, please fix the settings! Even on Easy mode, failure to trace very accurately results in multiple 'Bad Luck'. At 4-years of age, this is not encouraging learning by progressive, multiple failure. And at 40, it makes me want to delete, and not recommend it due to frustration. Please update...FatearleVersion: 1.1.0

✓ Impossibly sensitiveAp has a great concept and is fantastic apart form the one major issue that the letter writing and tracing is so exceptionally sensitive it makes it very very hard and frustrating for young children learning to write. At times it was so sensitive and critical it would fail me on writing some letters. Might be fine for your grade1 age group but them I'd have thought this app would be too basic for them. With great regret we deleted it. If you have 3-5 year olds try pocket phonics instead until they can sort this app out!.MumoftwoozVersion: 1.1.0

✓ Dot To Dot Letter Tracing Discouraging to 3 to 5 year olds.The app is great and just as others have mentioned it has so much learning potentional however the app is let down by the letter tracing dot to dot games as they are just to sensitive to being perfect on every dot. I do understand that the dot to dot tracing is set this way to encourage the children to practice over and over to form correct letters however apps of this level are aimed for Pre-K being 3 to 5 whom are not writing yet or are just learning how. The app really needs to be revised / updated to fix this let down of the restriction / sensitivity of the letter tracing from dot to dot. My older kids are big fans of reading eggs and thus the younger children are familiar and really wanting to play the app and be successful but the letter tracing dot to dot sensitivity is discouraging for them..MelnswozVersion: 1.1.0

✓ Won't openApplication freezes when try opening. Have not been able to use it.Sassaa17Version: 1.1.0

✓ Too sensitiveThe tracing of letters is too sensitive in easy. My 3 year old can do reading eggs and is doing a pretty close job of tracing but keeps having to start again because he goes just past a dot. Even I have had trouble sometimes..Meg432Version: 1.1.0

✓ Frustrated dot to dotsThis is a great set of apps, it has so much learning potential however the tracing and dot to dot games are way too hard and we end up with very frustrated little critters trying to write perfectly. This should be made to be more lenient to encourage little fingers!.Mr BnSVersion: 1.1.0

✓ Potential is thereDot to dot tracing is badly broken. Poor design makes it impossible to trace in the correct order without bumping into an undesired number. The app is oozing with potential but it is not there yet. Also you guys might consider making full stand alone apps and ditching the in-app approach. Schools are unable to purchase in-app through the broken volume purchase program..Kickstand54Version: 1.0.0

✓ TeacherGood app for learning letter names & handwriting, but very disappointed the phonemic awareness aspect as advertised is lacking (reading eggs usually is good at reinforcing the sounds that the letters make). This could be fixed by using the beginning letter sound when showing the picture rather than the letter name..Mrs_B_02Version: 1.1.0

✓ Eggy AlphabetOn the whole this is an ok app but but my 4yo was getting very frustrated at tracing the letters when she just went a teeny bit over the line or a little bit too long and it decided that was an error. It's a bit too sensitive. I'm also not too happy at the fact that in order to unlock some of the "critters", you need to play for 30 or 60 mins non-stop, which is too long for a young child to be playing on a computer in my opinion..AHM24Version: 1.1.0

✓ CrittersMy 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..Smumma3Version: 1.1.0

✓ Load of Crap!The app doesn’t teach the phonics which then confuses the child. When tracing the letters they expect it do be done exactly how they have it on the screen if it is off the line a little bit or slightly misses a dot it says try again causing frustration. I just wasted money on this.Jadehigginbotham94Version: 1.2.5

✓ Poor appShockingly hard to use. The dot to dot tracing element is far too hard for a little child. Even I was having trouble. Also, not much reinforcement of the letter sounds vs names. Already deleted from my phone..AstrldecVersion: 1.1.0

✓ FixsBeen trying to download this app. For over a three weeks. Still haven't start downloading. Nothing wrong with my new iPad or Internet because I'm able to download others app. Want to deleted but it won't allow me..Wolf xinVersion: 1.1.0

✓ Frustration Station!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..ShockfrockVersion: 1.1.0

✓ This is super bad!😡When I try to get all 18 critters it gets reset back to 0 which means it’s impossible to get all 18 critters.Brach and poppyVersion: 1.3.1

✓ MsExcellent...Caseylee..Version: 1.1.0

✓ DisappointingThis app does not teach the correct letter formation based on the New Zealand Curriculum. It is also disappointing when the three year old gets "bad luck" said to her when she only slightly draws over the line even though the letter she has drawn looks correct. Overall this app is disappointing..JLHW19Version: 1.1.0

✓ DisappointingThe 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..Lord_AdderVersion: 1.1.0

✓ Totally frustratingThe tracing activity is extremely sensitive to errors. It took me and my wife many tries to trace the letter A correctly even though we wrote perfecly good letters each time. Punishing correct letters is not a good way to teach kids!.Naith2Version: 1.0.0

✓ Please fixThis has great potential but disappointing for my three and four year old grandchildren when the eggs won't crack please fix the bugs.Socrates 4Version: 1.1.0

✓ Not as great as onlineMy daughter and I were very disappointed this app. The tracing the letters is very specific and there is little grace that this is an app done by a finger on the iPhone. As an adult I even struggled to hit the required lines properly and frustratingly kept getting bad luck try again even though I had draw the letter..Patrick, SwitzerlandVersion: 1.1.0

✓ Not convinced yetThis app looks like it will be as good as the other Reading Eggs gear; however, the tracing functions are very sensitive and repeatedly told me I was tracing incorrectly when I wasn't or stopped before I had a chance to finish tracing. My 5 yr old wouldn't give it as many attempts as I did. Will hold off before buying full version..EmcphVersion: 1.0.0
