My 2.5 yr old loves playing "owl school" Some of the lessons are a little advanced for her, and I help talk her through them, but she has learned so much! I was looking for something because she is really interested in letters and points out all the T's, etc, in her books, but would often mix up similar looking letters. Perfectly expected, but she loves learning with Duo. I love that it's free and ad free. I'm sure by the time she's more in the target age range, she will be learning even more.

I'm a youth programmer at a large library system & a parent to a preschooler. I love this app. My preschooler is completely engaged and loves it. It's a perfect balance of stories, writing, learning to sound out letters/words and sight words. I can't wait to watch her progress through more levels. We finish level 1 in the first weekend. I've been telling all the caregivers at my programs about this app. I'm hoping you make ones for learning other languages too. Thanks for being ad free!

This has been amazing so far for my 3yo! I love the variations in exercises, and she gets so excited to keep learning. One thing that's kind of annoying is that when tracing the letters, it'll sometimes skip ahead in the path so my 3yo isn't actually tracing ('m' for example, she doesn't have to finish the bumps down to the bottom before it registers as going up again). I'd rather she not be learning those loopholes lol but it's been so good otherwise that we'll definitely keep using it.

Our son just turned 5 and he is already reading well, far better than most 6 year olds. He can often read words up to 10 characters long, sometimes longer. Here's the thing: nobody has taught him to read. The only logical deduction is that he's learned from this app, which he's done a fair amount and enjoys, though sporadically (once every 2 - 3 weeks?). The only other possibility is that he taught himself to read. He's only reached Level 5 (of 10) on the app. An unbelievably amazing app!

I'm actually using the iOS version of the app, but my points should still be applicable. The kids and I love the app. However, I'm working with kids who are non-native speakers, and the repeat-the-sentence stories can be quite difficult for them, especially when there is no on-demand option to repeat the sentence (if I try to model it, the device registers my speech and checks it off). It'd be great if that option is added in future updates. Thanks!

Prolly not the place for this question 🤣 but my 3 year old was wondering if you guys could update the Duo ABC- so the letters when being traced could make the sound of the letter instead of sensory noise. Thanks! He loves the app its helped him sm. Just passing the request along!
