User Reviews

Users value Beginning with Babble for practical, easy-to-use language tips and activities, and many clinicians and families recommend it. Recurrent drawbacks hinder use: login/startup failures, lack of multi-child support, age-content misalignment, Android issues, and occasional typos/labeling mistakes. Addressing authentication, multi-child capabilities, development-based content, cross-platform stability, and content accuracy would significantly improve the experience.

Offers a variety of practical activities and ideas for kids.
Widely recommended by clinicians and families, indicating real value.
Valued by parents and grandparents as a helpful resource.

Cons

Frequent login issues and startup failures that prevent use.
Cannot add more than one child; no multi-child support per account.
Content age settings feel misaligned with development (developmental vs. chronological age).
Cross-platform inconsistencies, with some users encountering Android errors.
Occasional typos and labeling errors in content (e.g., category names).

Recent reviews

I have been recommending Beginning with Babble free app for several years to pediatricians, SLP’s, family, friends and acquaintances with babies/toddlers, and grandparents. Now that I’m a grandparent, I get daily texts myself with great language and literacy activities and so do the parents. Honestly, the ideas are awesome. Even though, I’m a speech-language pathologist there is always a new idea or an old one that I may have forgotten about to try with my granddaughter. Kudos to LEAP, the non-profit in Chicago, who developed Beginning with Babble. Thank you to Dr Jan Wasowicz for recommending this app 5 years ago to me at one of your SPELL-Links Learning By Design workshops.

The article was very well-written and discussed the science behind why so many learning methods fail our kids and which ones work so I had really high hopes for the app. The user experience is a little frustrating to start. The start screen is a pale green with white text that I could barely make out. I had the same problem others mentioned where the keyboard wouldn’t go away and let me continue but I was able to get it to go away. The concerning thing is that it appears to have typos. There is a category in the 2 - 2.5 yo group called “More Than Words” or something similar with multiple activities and then the next one is called “Mor Ethan Words” with 1 activity. Under “Age Range Settings” it says “…recieve tips…”. I was under the impression that this app is supposed to help my kid get a boost on reading so if no one in the development of the app caught that error how can I be sure that the app teaches spelling rules correctly?
