"The coolest thing about WEE ALPHAS is that it takes the approach that just because kids need to learn the basics like ABCs, doesnt mean they have to be bored. In fact, this app is quirky enough to entertain the parents playing the app with the kids ... Wee Alphas is a standout example of a fun, quality preschool education app."
-Dana Villamagna, Common Sense Media
"Brilliant! Its fun for kids, and not at all boring for adults. So smart, simple, intriguing, thoughtful and well-designed. Its quite possibly a cosmic sign signifying the end of kids books printed on paper."
-Charles S. Anderson, world renowned designer and founder, CSA Design Company and CSA Images
"I love it! My favorite is Charlie the Chipmunk because he has a cheese flag and I like cheese. Also I tap tap tap and change Violets hair to a ponytail or something." (giggle) "My special letter is Q."
-Quinn, age 3
"Hipster parents rejoice! A fabulously designed app called Wee Alphas is here!! The beautifully stylized animal characters in Wee Alphas makes one think of Mid-Century Modern meeting Sesame Workshop ... a visually stunning, fun-to-use app for kids."
-YogiPlay

Latest reviews of Wee Alphas app for iPhone and iPad
I really like the design and interactivity of this app but it crashes. Crashing is a given for most apps but when this one crashes it completely locks up my iPad. I have to hold the home and power button for 3 seconds to force a reboot.
Wonderful design, sweet interactions.
Lovely app! Wonderful design and valuable content.
Educational, entertaining and impeccably designed and illustrated. I look forward to more great products from wee society!
Never had a problem before the recent update. Now it frequently freezes and needs to be restarted.
