Timmy's Kindergarten Adventure - Fun Math, Sight Words and Educational Games for Kids App Reviews

My four year old and six year old have really gotten into this game just recently. The app is very well done, with a ton of content. There is a wide variety of skills that are practiced throughout. I think the most clever is the lessons on money and saving. Great app and I highly recommend it.

My kids love this game. One little problem or it would be a 5 star. My daughter started playing with a boy avatar because she didnt realize you could change it. Now shes started a girl file, but she wants to delete the boy file. However, when we hit delete file, it asks "what is 9x6?" Problem is, it has no way to input the answer. The keyboard doesnt come up, and theres no button to bring it up. If you hit delete again, it just brings up the question again. Were playing on an iPad 2 with latest iOS. Fix this and it would be a 5.

I bought this game when my son turned 3. We play the games together, its fun to have an educational game to play anywhere. We both love the reward incentive, and I think the game set up makes it fun and easy to understand. My son has unlocked all the at school activities, and is excited to answer more questions to earn better rewards. This ap is more than worth it for pre-k kids. My son is going on 5 now and Im sorry to say the game still has problems. The sound and streaming of the levels of the game sometimes over lap; which is a big bummer its almost the perfect game.

Nobody has ever loved an app more than my 4-year-old loves this app. She would play it all the time, if I let her. Shes not lost any enthusiasm for it over time. I am thrilled because she really is learning and practicing important skills. She has made tremendous progress recently and I credit this app. At first, I helped her with some of the exercises by guiding her, for example, "Which of those words could be the word theyre asking you to find? Bird starts with a B sound, do any of those words start with the letter B?" Now she does that on her own. Shes 4, and shes sounding out words. I imagine shell be full-on reading in a few months. At first I thought the app was too simple, too limited in content, too repetitive -- but apparently not. My 4-year-old has made tremendous progress with this simple app. I couldnt be more pleased. She prefers this over a website that Im paying $7.99/month for, so honestly, this one-time-purchase of $1.99 is the best deal ever.

While this app does have some fun elements, it is repetitive and boring after awhile. Also, though you can theoretically set difficulty levels for players, theres nothing to stop a child from simply creating another player who starts at the easiest setting. I found about eight players created, with names ranging from Timmy to Tommy to three of my youngest son to one called I Hate You Tommy (theres apparently a backstory thats hilarious). Further, as another reviewer said, you cant actually delete any players. Really? After all this time they cant fix a simple programming bug? Add to that the fact that there is nowhere to change difficulty settings for a player already in progress and youll agree that there are no reasons to purchase this app; I wish I could get my money back.

My boy likes it, there just isnt enough challenge. Wish there where stages. Where it gradually gets a little harder. Its just the same thing over and over.

Horrible app. There is no build up of skills. The second question was telling time, which isnt even introduced until first grade...waste of money.

This would be an awesome game if it different levels. My daughter plays it daily, but its repetitive.

LOL KIDS DONT WANNA WASTE TIME ON SCHOOL THEY WANT FREEDOM FROM SCHOOL THEY RATHER PLAY!!!

Although this app covers many concepts from the kindergarten classroom, the concepts are not expanded upon to allow students the opportunity to develop their understanding of math and reading. The difficulty does not change while going through the activities which makes the game extremely repetitive and does not push students thinking. Furthermore, the music and sound effects in the app are repetitive and cannot be turned off unless the sound on the iPad is turned off. The music and sounds may distract students from the math and reading activities. The app also does not consistently give explanations to help students understand why their answers are correct or incorrect. Therefore, students may not understand why their answers are correct or incorrect and continue using the app without an understanding of the concepts presented. Students could also randomly select answers without understanding their meaning. Students may be able to learn the math concepts presented better through the use of manipulatives because they would actually be able to move the objects on their own to see their purpose. Overall, I would not recommend this app for use in the classroom.

This is a pretty good app. The people that rate it low only used it for maybe ONE MINUTE and then said it was too easy. It obviously starts you out easy and then gets harder as it goes on, so if you dont play for a few hours or so it will still be fairly easy. My little girl LOVES this app!! The coins encourage her to keep on playing and do her best. If you are planning on getting this game, and know someone who is 5 or 6, DEFINITELY get it. It is worth it

The appalled a few questions. Then there were just games to unlock and I couldnt get back to the learning part!
