ABC Kids review: price, free version and privacy

Our verdict

Pick ABC Kids for a toddler or preschooler who is learning letter shapes and sounds, if you want no ads and no data collection. Move on to a phonics app once your child knows the letters, since this one does not teach blending or reading words.

What ABC Kids is

ABC Kids, from RV AppStudios, teaches the English alphabet to toddlers, preschoolers and kindergartners. Children trace uppercase and lowercase letters by following arrows with a finger, hear each letter's phonics sound, and play matching games, collecting stickers and toys as they go. Adults can turn on Teacher Mode, view report cards and choose which tracing and phonics games are on.
