I want my $$$ back. This is a joke. Didn’t work from the beginning. Don’t waste your time or money! Totally useless and frustrating not even educational! So disappointed!

Finger swipes don't work well
I like this app, but it's not really useable. The finger swipes only work about 30% of the time. This would be a great app if it worked consistently
Kc crew,
7 yr old played it. Kept his attention.
My son can read wonderfully but can't spell well which probably comes down to a phonics issue. I think this will help. It helps him really listen to minor differences in sounds like Oh versus ow.
We're still exploring the app.
Can you make the voice a tad more cheerful? It doesn't need to be over-the-top like a preschool app voice, but this guy sounds like Ferris Beuler's teacher! Anyone? Anyone? Beuler? Really. Make him SMILE as he reads the script, we'll hear the difference.
Thanks for making an app for 2nd grade phonics. It's not easy to find educational apps after preschool.

Good phonics for non preschooler
Phonics are good. They teach the team (oo, ar, etc) vowel combinations. Overall, good phonics teaching. The things I don't like is that you can not stop and restart where you left off and when you click back it goes back to the beginning of the lesson not the previous screen.

Phonics 2
Great content; cheap price. Really matches core. I’ve used this with my struggling readers who weren’t strong on their phonics skills. Used in small group and individually. It’s only $1 with VPP so great for schools!
SweetDroidBoy,
Needs work
The finger swipes to work right. Content is good, but technology needs work.
