Brilliant!!

Kids love this app and learned faster because of it.

awesome!

Really clever educational app, brilliant clearly spoken English audio and stunning artwork. This is the fourth Unit 11 app I have purchased and I have not been disappointed yet!

Excellent

very impressed, both of my children (4 and 6) loved this, and my 4 year old has now learnt all of her phonics in a matter of a few days.

Surprisingly fun with fantastic learning value

Really enjoyable app, works great and the kids love it!

Great app

We really like this series, our 3 year old boy is really making good headway with it and is capable of sounding out three and four letter words after only a couple of weeks.

Love it

This is great for my 2 kids. It brings them thru various stages in a fun and logical path. It has helped my 7 y/o son and he is now on 3. My 5 y/o daughter is now using it.

Terrible

Too hard for young kids too understand, not worth $ at all.

My 4 year old loves it

Needs improvement

This app has great potential. As a primary school teacher, I am pleased to see the order the sounds are introduced. My 4 year old son loves the games & it has supported his learning. The biggest problem is that it goes through the sounds too quickly. When he completed an island, he was really excited about getting a prize. Downside: the treasure had been stolen and he had to go onto the next island. He was not really ready for the next set of sounds but wanted to move on as there was no reward until you finish all the islands. Children do not learn this quickly and he has become quite disheartened. It needs a better celebration at the end of each island so that children repeat it & consolidate the sounds.

boring and slow

Liked the idea of pirates but it was very slow moving and too easy even for beginners.
