First Words: Learning Animals

What it is: an app teaching the spelling of 38 different animals.

What you do with it: drag the letters in the correct order to spell the name of the animal in the picture. Letters are pronounced when touched. Tap the animal to hear its name and the sound it makes.

What we liked: nice graphics, kid friendly interface, easy operation. Number of options to set up (you can turn on/off: visual clues, upper or lowercase letters, hints, speaker's voice, free/strict letter placement or select the number of letters in the longest word).

What we didn't like: just 38 animals to play with. Not much variety, can get boring quickly. No phonics, just letter names. Some animals sounds a little bit strange.
