Clifford's BE BIG with Words App Reviews

Waist of money

The app does not fit the screen. It is cut off on the right side. I tried deleting and downloading again. Same perspective. Disappointed & dissatisfied

Should also help learn new words.

At first glance, all the game seems to do is let kids spell words they already know. Where is the vocabulary building?

Excellent!

What a great game to help young kids learn letters and letter sounds! I love it!

Fun for 5 year old learning to read

My 5 year old really enjoys the game. Construct 3 letter words and Jetta paints them for you. I wish there was more Clifford or Emily Elizabeth though.

My 2 year old loves it!

This is such a great game since it has appeal to both little and bigger kids. I even like it! There are NO mistakes to be made in this game, which is the best part. You place letters in their spaces then Elizabeth makes a painting based on the word you created! A nice element of surprise. He has learned that you need to put the first letter in the first space and then more letters appear, then so on. This game is captivating and he is learning so much from it!

So so

I thought this would give the words to be spelled but instead it gives letters and you create your own. Probably good for school age kids to practice but not for my two year old who is in the beginner stage

Nicely done

My only suggestion is that pictures of words display ONLY the picture of a word. Like if the word is WAX then show only the candle made out of wax rather than a girl holding a candle because it kinda distracts the child from the actual word they selected.

One Simple Game - Others must be purchased

Simple game of selecting three letters to form words, then app paints picture. Any other games or versions must be purchased. Be careful to disable Buy authorization or children may be inadvertently buying other games. Four year old likes other games of tracing letters better. Was a 5 minute entertainment.

Letters, Words, Phonics, and Art

This application does a good job giving my 2 3/4 toddler the chance to pick each letter of the word. The program spells out the word letter by letter, then pronounces the word letter sound by letter sound. This suble way phonics is introduced is nice since our toddler is getting used to the letters already, and now needs to move onto the sounds.

GR8 for Very Young Kids

My 18-month-old LOVES Clifford (one of two shows he will sit still through!), and he was thrilled to see Clifford & friends in action! He mastered the art of the iPod/iPhone "swipe" months earlier, buy this will improve his fine motor coordination while also introducing letters, sounds, and left to right orientation for pre literacy skills without any wrong choices. Five stars with more of Clifford & Emily Elizabeth added, and additional levels to expand interest & ability levels.

One of the better apps for my 2 yr old

The fact that the child picks the letters and makes a word, no mistakes can be made, like those games with a voice saying "try again" or an obnoxious sound when they made an error, which can frustrate them. I agree with an earlier reviewer that the "wax" picture is misleading. Still worth getting. My son still plays this game after having it for a while now. Id love to see an update with more words...

Holds 4 year old attention

The fact that she will always spell a word and theres no chance of a mistake keeps her interest. Sounding out the letters and word is great feature. Wish more Clifford pictures though.

More PBS

Great, but change the fact that you must leave your finger on the letter so long before dragging it.

Great app!

This is my 3-year-old daughters favorite game on my iPhone and I like it too because its educational. I love how she can choose the letters and spell real words. I also like how the narrator sounds out the letters. Her friends ask to play this game when they see my iPhone! My daughter is on her way to reading with help from this app!

This is perfect.

My son adores this app. Its not only teaching him simple words but also teaching him that technology responds. This app is the first experience hes had with touching something technological and its response. Please PLEASE update this app to work with OS4. He really misses playing with it. It crashes every time we use it now.

Just OK

App crashes often and behaves a bit unpredictably sometimes. Game also seems pretty light for the cost.

Clifford App Crashes

I would like my money back; the app crashes every two words. Dont buy, youll just be annoyed.

Limited

Really not worth the money. PBS.org has way better free learning games. Ap didnt sp grab attention for long.

Ok...

Cute, but not really worth the $.99. not near as big as I thought it would be.

Clifford is AWOL ....

Game does not show Clifford at all , game is boring and dull. My kids never play this app. Shame on PBS for approving such a poor app.
