ABC Finder

ABC Finder is an iPhone game app from developer Todd Hamilton that helps young children learn the alphabet. It offers two ways to play: a camera game and a matching game. The camera game turns letter learning into a scavenger hunt for real-world objects, while the matching mode is a simpler game meant for younger kids who are just starting to learn their ABCs.

In the camera game, the player searches for real-world objects as part of a scavenger hunt, and ABC Finder uses real-time AI image recognition to detect each object as it is found. Once an object is detected, the app teaches the player the first letter of that object and the sound the letter makes. Both games use 3D emojis, soothing music and playful designs.

ABC Finder is free to download, and a Full Version is sold as a $1.99 in-app purchase. The app requires iOS 17.0 or later on iPhone, and its compatibility list also covers a Mac with an Apple M1 chip or later on macOS 14.0 and Apple Vision on visionOS 1.0, although it is designed for iPhone and not verified for macOS. It is available in English, and the developer states that no data is collected.
