"Crazy Balloons - First Sight Words Recognition Game 1.1 is actually the second of a series of apps I've recently developed," explains Peter Easdown, founder of PKCLsoft. "The first in the series, Crazy Balloons Fun, uses some of the same visuals and game mechanics. However, with Crazy Balloons - First Sight Words, I've more fully developed the educational aspect, since I believe all children deserve to learn and become proficient communicators and readers. Like Dollar Up, my previously released educational app, Crazy Balloons - First Sight Words provides lots of options and a way to play the game for people with special needs, including those requiring the use of accessibility switches."

Easdown adds, "Furthermore, I am a proud member of the 'MOMs with apps' developer community and a contributor to the 'Know What's Inside' program. Therefore, all of my kids apps will clearly state what (if any) data is collected and for what purpose. I do not include advertising or social media links in any of my educational apps that are written for use by young children."
