Bright Start Pre-K ABC 123

Opening Page

Example of tracing a letter.

The Bright Start English App does a great job of showing the child how to trace the letter on the screen, and then rewards them for tracing it correctly by showing them something that corresponds to the letter or number they just traced. For example: 1 orange, B for banana, etc. The full version includes a report card that you can access on the Bright Start Apps website. It will show the user the number of attempts at a letter, the amount of errors, and gives you the option to see the data by date so that you can see any progress being made. You register directly from the device and this allows the website to track that specific device.

The app seems intuitive, but only if the child has played similar tracing games in the past. Otherwise there is no audible directions for the child. Another drawback I see, is that the same child cannot be tracked across devices. For example, an iPhone or iPod and an iPad. It will create separate sub accounts for them. Another limitation is that if you have multiple children, it only allows you to set up one child's name and age. All in all, it's a decent app and better than some other options out there as it doesn't have ads popping up on the screen.
