Great
I was surprised to see people that complained of not being able to download. I had no problem. Could some have been trying to download the I-phone app instead.
Anyway I really wanted to post favorable information.
Our autistic child loves super Why and so she is having a grand time with this app.
She is not verbal(yet) so apps like this that encourage spelling and reading are great!
I hope this helps others.
Thanks
SUPER Super Why for IPad
Already had this on my EVO 4G so I knew the basics. My 2 yr old grandson basically learned letter recognition etc. from the Super Why TV show, so this has now become his favorite go to when he needs to entertain himself, like the long ride to NanaPa's house! (Or the periods of times when Nana & Grandpa are boring!)
The program loaded in seconds (I have a fast wifi connection) and ran flawlessly so I have no Idea what the other reviewers problem was....I did learn on "the other side" that it is best to dl it with wifi....
The app itself is built on the 4 strengths of the 4 characters. Alpha Pig's is the easiest and best to start with. Like the TV show, you follow the road and choose the correct path by choosing the correct letter. Even Wonder Red's Rhyming words was enjoyable for him, by substituting letter recognition for rhyming recognition.
All in all it is a very enjoyable app that should bring hours of fun and learning to any Super Why fan... And even though it is cheaper on the other platform, playing it on an IPad is by far a superior platform and easier.. And the letter tracing it much better on the IPad.
slow, redundant and expensive; better apps out there...
Hate to say this, as my 2-1/2 yr old daughter loves super why, but this app is not worth $3.99, probably not even worth $.99... First, the app is slow to start (how many developer logos do we really need to see?) and move through games (there's a robotic dull feel to it). For reference, it's about half as fast as the tv series, which my daughter follows just fine. Second, the app is redundant. I've seen the same rhyming words and the same alpha pig words repeatedly, which, again, gets boring quickly. And third, the app just isn't well executed. The letter writing is poorly executed (much better, cheaper apps out there for this), the story fill in is only interesting if you intentionally pick the wrong words, which is a little confusing, and the sticker rewards are just lame. Couldn't the stickers be like super letters that are used later to more productive ends? Overall the app has potential with refinements and expanded content, but for now, it's relegated to the 'no, not that one' category, which defeats its educational purpose.
