Pros and cons of Tiggly Submarine: Preschool ABC Game app for iPhone and iPad

Tiggly Submarine: Preschool ABC Game app good for

I discovered tiggly one year ago with the shape. My son (now 4) and daughter (now 3) just love it and are used of shapes and math toys. We donloades tiggly submarine last week and they were very exited to get a new game. They were very interested in, specially with the octopus eating the food and the submarine washing machine. The images are very beautifull and they like to go donw to see the seebed lighted by the submarine. My son tried to touch the different fish and animals of the see because he thought that they would mouve and react like with tiggly addventure (the baloon that grow, the bees on the tree...). I think this could be a good change because it help child to spark their curiosity and I always see my child very proud of themselves when they discover a new element. Concerning the vowel, I prefered the elevator because the world choosen began with the good vowel which is easier to understand for little chill (E like Elf...) of this age. It took a little time for them to understand how to aspirate the animals and deliver them but this is I think the best way for they to learn the vowel (they have to think and try to find the same vowel than the one that blink and not just choose the one that they want). Thank you for all those apps, the kids just love them and everytime I invite some friends at home, the parents are always very interested. I would also thank your customer support that always helped me when I had difficulties.
This is definitely the next generation way of learning. You can put together learning, playing and technology in the same place. Making reference to The Beatless songs ( octopus garden and yellow submarine) this App is beautifully designed. We missed a map overview to guide us, and we found the fishes name a little bit complicated to young kids . My daughters loved it,

Some bad moments

This app is great. My daughter who is in kindergarten really enjoyed the video game format of this app. As she was reinforcing her knowledge of short vowels she had fun. My four year old daughter also loved this app. She hasnt been introduced to the vowel sounds before so she was speaking along with the app and really got a good understanding of vowels and their sounds. This will definitely help her as she begins to read. Finally, I am an elementary school teacher as well. I introduced this game to my students today and they truly loved it. My students are 7 years old and they had a great time helping the submarine swim around looking for letters. I highly recommend this app to a variety of children. Younger ages benefit from being introduced to vowels and learning them along with this app. Older students benefit from the repeated practice of this concept, helping them to grow further in their decoding skills.
Tiggly knocks it out of the park again. I love that they are now doing literacy games. Tiggly submarine is extremely engaging for my 5 year old and I love hearing him sound out his vowels and get excited about reading!
This app does an awesome job teaching vowels. It is super fun and kids love the cool sea characters!!
This app is awesome! My 5 year old loved the characters and really enjoyed playing it. Its a great way to learn Vowels as well!
We LOVE this app. A unique way to introduce vowel sounds to kids with lots of funny animations and many things to discover.
My son loves all things Tiggly. I bought the Tiggly shapes when the App first came out when my son was under 1 year old. Weve been a fan since then and the Tiggly math toys were also awesome. When I heard they came out with the Submarine App for literacy learning, I immediately bought it. My son who is 2 years and 8 months love this App. He loves saying the vowels when he hears them and the surprise of each new words appearing when he touches the vowels on screen. The words in the App helps expand the vocabulary and the animation keeps him engaged for a long time. He also loves the details of the graphic such as the bubbles and the shark!
