I regret buying it!
My son was following directions and it kept saying try it again. I thought this would help his reading tutor who uses the Barton method for teaching but it was not a good supplementElise Miller
Overlays making game hang
When I open the app it just hangs when overlays try and tell me what to fill in or what to interact with.DevanDanger
OgStar helped my 5 yr old Read, Write, & Spell!

Nothin is working
When I try to tap on lessons it does nothing. I was thinking of purchasing, but now I don’t think I will because it’s not working properly. I can’t access any of the lessons.Smith_35

Hi, I hope I can help you! You will need to enter the teacher/parent portal and set up your student's profile before they can begin. If you have done this, it sounds like you might be stuck in the teacher/parent portal. If you tap the small avatar by your name in the upper lefthand corner, you should be able to sign out and reach the main Welcome Screen where your student can sign in. For further help, go to our YouTube OgStar Reading channel short videos or reach out to stephanie@ogstarreading.com. We are happy to help you start your OgStar Reading journey!Great App!
Super great for beginning readers!!!lovewine123

I am very sorry to hear about your experience. We have updated Explore to address this concern. We hope you'll give us another try!Add more skip buttons!!!
Developers : please add more skip buttons!!!
My son is dysgraphic and he never writes the words correctly, NEVER. I have to rewrite them again and the voice saying he directions over and over is also super irritating. Nowadays I have him write the words then I erase everything and write the words myself to lose less time: if we could have a skip button it would be less painful for both of us.Show lessUtahLady

I am very sorry for your experience. You can easily bypass repetitive directions by tapping the screen twice on all lesson steps. Using the eraser button instead of trying to write over mistakes or irregular strokes is helpful. There is a SKIP button on the writing steps. Explore has been updated since you tried it.So Close
Just tried the trial, and the app has some great features that make it an almost purchase for my classroom. Unfortunately, the app lets kids skip ahead to new levels without the ability for the teacher to lock it, there is no placement test, if a student makes repeated mistakes it give a skip option, but progresses anyway, and the writing boxes are quite small at times. Sometimes the letter recognition is picky, and others, it accepted backwards letters as correct. I would love to use something like this to supplement my Orton lessons, but this just isn’t good enoug yet.Show lessHyper dinomite

Explore has been updated! There is a placement test on the other versions of OgStar, but not on the free one.
