RockUs ABC's Help

Rockus ABC's
Rockus ABC's is a fun way to entertain young children while educating them about the letters of the alphabet. There are two modes to choose from. In Browse mode, a full screen image of a letter and an object that starts with that letter is displayed while name of the letter is spoken. To hear the sound again, simply tap the screen, or swipe left or right to change letters. In Challenge mode, four images of letters are displayed, and your child must tap the letter matching the name they hear. If you like this app, be sure to check out Rockus Animals, a similar app, focused on animals.

Preferences
Access Preferences from the drop down menu available on the title screen. Here are the explainations of the available options.

Application Settings
- Disable Gestures - Off by default, this option will disable gestures for both the browse and challenge modes. In order to exit either mode while this is enabled you must use your keyboard to either type "back" to return to the Main Menu, or "end" to close the application. This setting is useful if you child has a tendancy to background the application or open other apps during play. If you recieve a phone call, the call can be answered, but the phone will end up opening in the background. You can then type "end" or "back" to have access to the phone, or simply carry out the conversation, and rely on the other person to actually hanag up. If you get any other notifications, they can be tapped, which will result in the related app opening in the background.

Letter Audio Options
- Letter Case - Each letter is displayed as text below an image in both browse and challenge modes. Turning on or off various cases will determin which form of text is available to be displayed. "Upper" is a single letter in upper case, "lower" is a single letter in lower case, and "Both" is both upper and lower cases displayed at once.
- Audio Options - The audio in this app is broken into three groups: "Letter name", "Letter sound", and "Letter name then sound". Use this section of preferences to turn any of them off so as not to hear them in challenge or browse.

Browse Mode
- Auto advance - Off by default, this option causes Browse mode to automatically cycle to the next letter after a few seconds. Great for a entertaining babies too young to interact, or toddlers you'd rather not hand your phone to.
- Browse Alphabetically - On by default, this option causes the letters in Browse mode to be sorted in alphabetical order. Turning it off will randomize browse order.
- Tap to scroll to next letter - Off by default, this option makes a tap have the same effect as swiping to advance to the next letter. This is good for children too young to really understand swiping. They can just touch the screen and they get a new letter.
- Play sound on view - On by default, this option causes the name of the letter to be spoken when the letter is first displayed. Turning it off will allow your child to guess at the letter before hearing it. They can tap the screen to see if they are correct.

Challenge Mode
- Show Instructions - On by default, instructions on how to play challenge mode are displayed at the beginning of the game. To skip the instructions and go straight into the game, turn this off.
- Auto replay sound - Off by default, this will replay the letter sound every few seconds.
- Loop game - On by default, instructions on how to play challenge mode are displayed at the beginning of the game. To skip the instructions and go straight into the game, turn this off.
