Voice Toddler Cards - the talking flashcards App Reviews

This app is well-loved by our young autistic child, who can flip through the flash cards at whatever pace she chooses, acquiring a little vocab in the process! I love the high quality photos and pleasant sound effects (so far the chime that happens when you flip a card hasnt gotten on my nerves at all, and shes been playing with the app a LOT). My only quibble is that some of the choices for words and pronunciations seem off. Example, I guess its a regional thing but Ive never heard the "measuring" in "measuring cup" and "measuring tape" pronounced like "MAYzureing" before (where I live, its more "MEHzureing). I was also quite surprised to see the word "Biscuits" under what looked like some sort of cracker. I know "biscuits" in the UK=cookies, but I wasnt aware this app originated in the UK. Is it Canadian English? Biscuits in my region (of the US) are white fluffy round bread-like things. Additional confusion was caused by the "Viola" card. The voice pronounced it "VYEola" when Ive only ever heard this instrument called a "VEEola." Also, what is shown in that picture has an end pin, and as violas dont, I think what theyre showing is a cello. The good news is--the option is there to replace the spoken voice with your own. You can also eliminate the text (so I could take away the word "Biscuits") altogether. For future updates, I would love to see the option available of *editing* the text and eliminating a single card altogether. Otherwise, its an awesome app and still worth five stars, in my opinion!

This app is incredible!! The pictures are crisp and clear and the ability to record your own voice is awesome. I think its well worth the price because you get SO much and my son loves it!!

My son really likes this app. I am always looking for ways to keep him interested and this works.

This is perfect for little kids! I wish I had this stuff when I was younger! It has so many pictures, so it will help my baby cousin! It worth paying for! GET IT NOW!!! hahaha... ( =

This is a great enhancement over a typical flashcard app!! I love that it speaks the words (voice has no accent)but even more awesome is the ability to record your own voice if you choose!! I also appreciate the fact they used pictures of actual objects not drawings. So far Ive just seen a few errors (pic of walnuts for pecan, an Oriole for a sparrow and an egret for a pelican) not a biggie for the average toddler user :-). Tho you could record your own word if desired! Great program--look forward to more categories!!!

I really like this app. My 18 month old has already memories a couple letters! The only thing I wish were different is the time it takes for your voice over to talk on the card. On the original voice it is instant, as soon as you touch the page. On my voice over it takes so long to talk that my baby thinks its broken and moves on. Totally unusable if you ask me. Other than that, good app.

I start teach my 8 months old son with this app, I like it read every alphabet, if it can speel the words, it is the best

My toddler started using this at around 2 years old. She LOVES it. I do as well. Real flash cards wind up all over the house and on the floor. These dont. Also, I love the ability to change the voice to your own. I sort of wish it would offer different dialects. I noticed others commenting on that also. For example, my husband is English and I am Texan. You can imagine what sort of dialect my toddler will grow up with. It would be amazing if we could have the flash cards speaking in English (British dialect) without my husband having to go through all the pictures himself. Over all - this gets high marks from me. She plays with it before bed time for 10 or 15 minutes and can repeat most of the words (in her own speech)! Its great because I dont have to always be on top of her while she scrolls through the pictures. It frees me up to do other things while watching her use it. LOVE IT! Educational, FUN, Easy to Use and Cool Features. THANKS!

I recommend this app. To everyone who has children growing up! This is the best app. Ever! No having to deal with cards of any chape, animals, numbers, colors... Etc. It contains all in one flashcards on the go. When my baby gets cranky on a long trip or anything at anytime, we all start learning and all the fuss and screaming is gone! Thank you for inventing this app. This is worth buying 100%!

Useful ap. Can get better. As Im saving for the Ipad and my baby grows, these are the improvements that Id like to see: 1. Users possibility to override type card name in other languages; e.i. Russian 2. Sounds animals make (add some video clips) 3. Add my own picture 4. Childs speech recognition 5. Short stories Thank you, RC

I cant tell you how hard Ive been looking for an app like this. We are trilingual, Spanish being our native language. We live in the US and want to teach our daughter Spanish first, then shell get the English in daycare and kindergarten and then start with French in first grade. I love that you can record your own voice! I also agree that for future updates, we could be able to upload our pictures, edit text and record our audio like we are doing it now. Ive purchase tens of apps and I usually dont review them regardless if they are good or bad, too lazy... but this one deserves it! 5 stars all the way!! Thanks guys, keep up the good and creative work. EM / Perrik

This app won me over when my 19 month old learned to say cylinder and pyramid. These digital flash cards seem to work better than traditional flash cards. Im guessing its because she gets to play with mommies phone.

Would be nice to have in options the option to remove the speech recorder button on the cards. Makes it easier for my son to not touch it. With my ipod I have no mic so the option is useless to me.

Awesome. Where else can I find bilingual Spanish English teaching tools for kids? This is great!

What a great learning tool for baby! Not only is it colorful with great photos and voice words, you can record your own voice to the different flash cards! Those make this a super fun learning tool!! I love it and my four month old son is fully engaged in it!

I read the reviews for all flash cards and after much consideration, decided on purchasing this one. I liked the idea that besides English & Spanish, youcould use your own voice. Would give this awesome app 5 stars if it wasnt for this minor flaw: there is a huge delay when using your own voice. Son is staring at flash card and wants to scroll to next card already, takes too long before own recording comes on. Tried recording several times, at faster pace but still same result. Still highly recommend based on everything else had it not had this feature. Only disappointment was expecting to use this feature but rather delete my recordings & use default voice to not experience lag time.

I have a two year old and I am amazed at how much he has learned. It teaches you everything from colors, alphabets, shapes, and pictures that deal with everday life. I love, love, love this app!!! Im very picky and I promise you that this app is worth it. My son uses this app on his own! Voice speaks proper English and you can alps record your own voice!!

Love it and the way Ive personalized it for my 3 1/4 year old. Shes enthralled with Daddys Iphone and it keeps her busy on car trips and downtime.

My child loves it, and the continuos picture updates are certainly welcome. Recommended.

Wow!! Im a nanny and my baby who is 19 mo. Loved this app. This update is horrible what were u people thinking! Couldnt leave a good thing alone? The new flip up pages is so so bad. How can I reverse the update?
