Review by developer: * Duidelijk gesproken tekst. Ook de letters worden opgenoemd. Dit kan door twee stemmen opgezegd worden, een mannelijke en vrouwelijke. Leuke animaties per letter om mee bezig te gaan. Zo hebben de kinderen in 26 scènes van alles te ontdekken en te leren. Een leuke gecombineerde app.

Review by developer: * Een mooi huis met verschillende kamers. Wat leuk maakt aan dit poppenhuis is dat je niet alleen maar binnenin kan kijken, maar zelfs ook om het huis heen! De karakters die in dit huis voorkomen zijn door de maker van deze app ook goed doordacht op verschillende wijze. Zo past bijna elk karakter zich aan in elk woonvertrek. Wat als educatief gezien kan worden voor de allerkleinste kinderen. Bepaalde apparaten kunnen in het huis worden aangezet. Wat items kunnen verschoven worden. Het kind kan zijn eigen fantasie en verhaal gaan gebruiken...
Wonderful magnets, colorful graphics, appealing yet easy-to-use interface, and lots of fun - all these qualities are synonymous with ABC Magneticland! ABC Magneticland invites all creative young minds on an exciting journey toward their creative development. Just tap on the start button, and explore the exciting possibilities of arranging and combining magnets! What's more, ABC Magneticland also serves as a very useful education tool for the smallest children because the names of all magnets are read aloud while a child is manipulating them. This can be used to learn names of everything from letters to animals or shapes. The magnets come included in a total of seven categories. You just need to choose a drawer and drag the desired magnet on your board. * Numbers This category contains numerals from zero to twenty, and signs. * Capital Letters * Lower-case Letters * Shapes and Pictures. In this category, there are ten shapes and some basic figures. Tip: this category in particularly works wonders with children's imagination as arranging the shapes can be used the same way as building kits with bricks. This building enhances powers of abstraction as a child has to find a suitable way of translating his or her notions of real-world objects to a 2D perspective. * Symbols Here you can find a total of 29 various symbols. * Fruits and vegetables Includes thirteen magnets. * Animals Forty wild and domestic animals included! Should you want still more fun, you can click on the Board icon in the upper-right corner and change the background. Apart from the default green, there's a white one, a blue one, and even a squared one, so that you can play tick tack toe! Plus if you want, there is also an option of safari and countryside backgrounds - all of this exclusively for you and your limitless creativity!

Review by developer: * Op dit magnetisch bord kan het kind zelf sommen maken met getallen tot en met 20. Spelen met het euro teken, procent teken enz. Duidelijk gericht op de oudere kinderen zou je zeggen. Maar als je de app nader bekijkt worden hier alle items benoemt, wat dus ook weer heel leerzaam is voor kleinere kinderen. Net als de vormen, fruit en leuke plaatjes. Dus eigenlijk kan een jong kind al met deze app gaan spelen en op latere leeftijd zich gaan verdiepen in de wat moeilijkere zaken. Het lijkt wel een "meegroei" app :)
ABC Magnetic Toys is an application focused on cognitive development of children’s imaginative and creative skills. An ideal app for all curious toddlers and preschoolers wishing to expand their horizons. Designed with regards to children’s unique HCI needs, a child-friendly interface allows both for an independent play and a parent-guided instruction. The application features five thematic categories (Emma’s toys; Tom’s toys; In the room and in the backyard; Letters; and Building Blocks). For all categories, you can choose one of a total of twenty colorful settings that help children to provide anchorage for their imagination, and offer parents the opportunity of setting up an interactive environment that suits their child’s needs. For instance, there is a lined paper ideal for letters and words play; templates for various toys that are perfect for fine motor skills enhancement, development of association of shade-to-silhouette correspondence and abstract skills; or natural scenery, about which parents can make up stories together with their children while placing onto it any of the wonderful professionally illustrated objects. Among other features of the application is a possibility to save children’s creations into your iPad gallery. Since we understand that this feature is more suitable for older children, this function can be turned on/off in the settings. Moreover, we would also like to highlight a high-quality audio voice pronouncing the name of each object upon its placement on the screen. This feature fosters the development of children’s vocabulary and can also be great for ESL and EFL learners. As always, the function can be disabled by parents in the settings (feature especially used by purchasers abroad -- even when speech voice is turned off, the application still allows you to leave certain sounds of objects on to make children more engaged). Summary of key features: - 5 thematic categories (Emma’s toys; Tom’s toys; In the room and in the backyard; Letters; and Building Blocks) - 20 different backgrounds - possibility to save the pictures into your gallery - sound effects and pronunciation of objects’ names - settings modification - professional illustrations - user-friendly interface.

Review by developer: * De woorden worden goed benoemd bij alles wat het kind pakt. Daarnaast maakt het item ook nog eens een geluid als je er weer op klikt. Er is heel goed met de sound om gegaan. Graphics zijn ook mooi en spreekt kinderen echt aan. Er zijn heel veel items te gebruiken, dus een zeer ruime keus. Een klein detail is dat de letters zelfs van kleur veranderen als je er meerdere malen op klikt. De kleuren worden ook benoemd. Er is dus in het geheel goed nagedacht over het maken bij deze app. Spelenderwijs leert het kind.
