Peapod has several ABC video apps, they are all super for learning and exploring, lots to do! I agree with another review- add speech to the informational pop-ups under the ! button- that would make this even more accessible. Great app!

The last video in the "bull" section is 4 minutes of children riding calves and bulls, being trampled and in some cases unable to get up, with background music about pain. A lot roll around holding their arms, others are completely still on the ground. Just ONE video like this can ruin the whole app.
We have been using this app for a while now on all of our classroom iPads. The kids need no instruction, its easy for them to get to the activities and videos and of course they get to learn their letters. What I love to do is teach lessons with it using my iPad and our apple TV to project for the whole class to see.
Please update it for the iPhone 5 screen size.
A beautiful learning experience for the whole family.
I got this app because my kids really like the ABCgo app. It has a lot of animals that my boys like. It would be a whole lot better if the words were read to them like they are in ABCgo. Please fix that. My boys are 3 and 6, your target group, who do not know how to read so the information isnt getting to them. Please fix! Also it would be great to divide this into smaller groups such as ABCbugs and ABCoceanlife.
This is one fun app for exploring animals. After playing ABC Wildlife, I now know that baby jackal puppies are completely adorable! Included are activities and videos of a wide variety of species. I love that learning the alphabet is somewhat subliminal, in that it is used as a reference point to find your favorites or scroll through the videos. There are fun facts to learn and many links to other animals in the alphabet to follow; i.e. in kangaroo - touch a letter in the word and it will lead you to a new listing of animals. I think that kids will learn and assimilate letters and sounds without the "drill" that a lot of alphabet apps have to offer. Recommended for animal lovers.
And its educational so mom lives it too!
We LOVE this app. However, I am disappointed that one of the penguin videos has inappropriate language for their audience. The man even says "kids, cover your ears" which to me means a different video should have been picked or it could have been cut shorter. Besides that, it is a 5 star app for kids!
None of the videos work and it is too hard for my son to navigate.
My kids loved it when we first got it but now the videos will not play. Would give 5 stars if videos played. I finally deleted it.
I got this app some time ago and it has worked flawlessly until recently. Each time the app is started it crashes almost immediately. I have installed and reinstalled the app with the same results. The thing that has changed is the iOS being updated. Please fix, it is a frustrating bug.
My 2 & 3 year olds love this app. Very easy to use, the links to animal videos on YouTube is great. Good app!
Today I discovered that my toddler found a YouTube workaround. He waits until the videos are over. Then, he scrolls down the video window until he sees the YouTube video suggestions that are offered. By doing this, he is able to navigate YouTube from within the Little Explorers app. Im disappointed in Peapod Labs and hope that they figure out how to restrict YouTube access from within the app to the intended videos.
