Little Pim Spanish was easy to navigate, colorful, and it made learning Spanish vocabulary fun… It is grounded in solid methodology and will expose kids to a second language - PadGadget

iLearn with – Little Pim Spanish is a great introduction to Spanish for toddlers and kindergarten. We really like the fact that it allows kids to learn nouns, verbs and then combines the 2 in a sentence so kids can start building sentences. The design is bright, colourful and very easy to use for little fingers… Another nice app from the iLearn with educational program which offer fun game-based learning - Fun Educational App

Additions! has the same adorable graphics, engaging animations and smooth game play as the previous Tribal Novas apps. I’ve been impressed with all of their titles so far and they continue to do a fantastic job working National Standards into appealing educational apps. - The iPhone Mom

We like the concrete nature of the virtual manipulatives and the helpful visual cues at all levels…We have used this app both as a learning app and as a reward with children who are working at the Pre-K – 2nd grade level. The use of virtual manipulatives reinforces one-to-one correspondence, which is often challenging to teach to kids with special needs. - SNApps4Kids
