My 7 month old is loving this app. It’s never too early to play & interact with your babies and this app makes it so easy to do so. It’s fun to watch her learn so much and engage with the App and she’s starting to learn some new sounds and words.
Developer Response
Thanks so much for sharing this! I love hearing how families are using Little Wheels in different ways. While 7 months may be a little early for full play, it’s awesome that she’s already responding to the sounds and visuals — that kind of shared attention is a great first step toward early communication. Appreciate you taking the time to write a review!
Not a game, not an effective learning app

This isn't a fun game, and it's not a learning experience with any integrity. The vocabulary choices are bizarre - some simple words like "boom," but then "cement mixer," "mobile crane," "convertible," "motorcycle weaves." Who puts "weaves" in a vocab app for 3-year-olds?Good reading apps give kids control over the phonemes - letting them drag to scrub audio, highlight words as they go. This has none of that. The spoken text screens are weakly thought through. My preschooler would just randomly swipe for a bit and cast it away.I couldn't find any game element at all. Disappointing.

Thanks for trying Little Wheels and for taking the time to write a review.Little Wheels is a calm, speech and vocabulary app for vehicle loving toddlers. It is not a reading app or a game app, so you will see real vehicle words like “cement mixer” and “mobile crane.” Those are in there on purpose for kids who want to name the vehicles they see with objects they already love.You are right that some parents may want more direction. I am adding clearer parent tips on how to use the “Hear it → Stretch it → Say it” flow and how to sit and listen to the vehicle stories together, repeat the action words, and then let your child explore on their own.If you were looking for tap to highlight reading or more game style mechanics, that is a different type of app than what Little Wheels is trying to be right now. I still would like to hear what your preschooler liked or did not like so I can keep improving. You can email me at sean@recordcreativeco.com
Learning while having fun

My 2 year old daughter loves the different flash cards and the app is very easy to use. She is loving the different views & noises while going through her car phase! A great app that is nice to have on the go for your kid!

BEST APP EVER

My kiddo LOVES this app. I’ve never heard him talk so much as he does with the car flashcards. Also there’s so many cute books that have narration, it’s a ton of activities in one app. Even the home page keeps my 2 year old very entertained 🤣
Developer Response
Awesome to hear it’s helping during speech practice. Reviews from parents like you really help other families find tools that work, and they guide what I build next. Email me: sean@recordcreativeco.com with any ideas you have! - Sean
