REVIEW
Letter Name Flashcards is a $1.99 alphabet drill, and that's the whole pitch.
Dezol Inc.'s toddler flashcard app does one thing — show a letter, say its name, swipe to the next — and asks for two dollars instead of a subscription. On a Fire Kids tablet, that math still works.

There is a small genre of Amazon Fire app that exists because the Fire Kids tablet exists: simple, single-purpose, one-time-purchase educational tools aimed at the two-to-four crowd. Letter Name Flashcards is one of them. It costs $1.99, it shows your toddler a letter, a voice says the letter, you swipe to the next one. That is the entire app.
Dezol Inc. has not built a learning platform here. There’s no progression engine, no per-child profile, no gamified reward loop. On a Fire HD Kids tablet — where the parental controls are already doing most of the heavy lifting and the kid is going to use this for six minutes at a time — that restraint is the right call. A flashcard app should be a flashcard app.
The question is not whether it’s sophisticated. It isn’t. The question is whether a two-dollar alphabet drill earns its place on a toddler’s tablet, and for the narrow window where a kid is learning letter names and not yet ready for phonics, it does.
On a $109 Fire HD Kids tablet, a one-time $1.99 alphabet drill is a refreshing thing to find next to four subscription-walled competitors.
FEATURES
Letter Name Flashcards is exactly what the name promises. Each card shows a single uppercase or lowercase letter, names it aloud, and waits for a swipe or tap to move on. The full set runs A through Z in order, with audio pronouncing the letter name (not the phonetic sound — an important distinction for parents working through the difference).
The app is built for the Fire tablet form factor and assumes the toddler audience that comes with it: large tap targets, minimal chrome, no menus deeper than two levels, no in-app purchases. Dezol Inc. has priced it at $1.99 as a one-time purchase, which on the Amazon Appstore in 2026 is increasingly the exception rather than the norm for kids' educational apps.
Screenshots make the scope clear — there is no game layer, no progress tracking, no parent dashboard, no reward system. It is a flashcard deck. That's the entire product.
MISSION ACCOMPLISHED
Pricing is the headline strength. Most letter-recognition apps on the Appstore now sit behind a subscription or a freemium pay-wall that nags through the alphabet. A flat $1.99 with no recurring charge and no in-app upsells is what a flashcard app should cost, and Dezol charges that.
The scope discipline matters too. A two-year-old does not need a parent dashboard or a streak system. They need a letter, a voice, and a swipe — and getting out of the way is the right design call.
ROOM TO IMPROVE
The trade-off is depth. There is no phonics mode, no letter-tracing practice, no quiz layer to check recognition, and no per-child profile to track which letters a kid actually knows. Once a toddler has worked through the deck a few times, the app has nothing more to teach. Competitors like Endless Alphabet ($8.99 one-time) or ABCmouse (subscription) layer on phonics, animation, and progression — they cost more for a reason.
The audio is also letter-names only. Parents trying to teach phonetic sounds ("a-a-apple", not "ay") will need to supplement with a separate resource, and the app doesn't make that limitation clear before purchase.
CONCLUSION
Letter Name Flashcards is a deliberate, narrow tool at a fair price. If your toddler is at the stage where they want to point at letters and hear them named, $1.99 is well spent. Past that stage — once recognition is solid and phonics is next — you'll need something else. That's a feature of the pricing model, not a bug.
