Not happy
So not impressed with this review page this is my third attempt ....
We purchased this app for $79.99 in December 2017
( over charges even as it was on a special offer )
Then on the 9th January was charged a further $10.99 for a monthly fee ....
Why are there monthly fees when We purchased the life time app .
Not happy
Would appreciate a reply

DO NOT buy this app!!
They con you into a full year membership, saying they'll teach your child how to read, but only cover the VERY basics, and don't offer any levels beyond that. I bought a 'year' membership and my child completed it in 3 weeks, and it's not like she's an excellent reader. She just basically reviewed everything I had taught her before. No one at Hooked on Phonics takes any responsibility for a refund, and the App Store might give you a problem refunding too. Don't waste your time on this app, unless you have a 2-3 yr old who knows nothing about the alphabet, and just purchase month-by-month at that. Better yet, find another app. Very disappointed at Hooked on Phonics. False advertising!

Response from developer
Hi there, we’re really sorry that our app wasn’t the right fit for your child. We offer varying levels of membership to give parents the option to test-drive the app before committing to the lifetime plan. Our app is appropriate for kids who are reading level pre-K through first grade.
Doesn't always download, big hassle
The lessons in the app are not always inline with the workbooks and dvds and sometimes the wrong videos are shown for the lesson. Also a big hassle to download each lesson individually and sometimes that doesn't work on the ipad. Please fix this.
Not worth it
Average user experience. In my opinion over priced. Be very mindful that the price is not one off, but a monthly charge.
Fantastic app, fantastic support!
This is an amazing app - my 3yo son loves it and it's incredible how much he has learnt already. The support is fantastic too if you have any questions or issues, really helpful and very responsive via Facebook too.
Helpful
My preschool is enjoying it,
Good phonics app!
My little one enjoys playing this app and learn his phonics at the same time. It is a shame that only the 1st step is free, I wish the year subscription were less expensive.
it's good
it really helpful for my little brother but I didn't like how you had to pay for it
Love it
Really great in teaching kids how to start reading, everything is nice in this app, not regretting the purchase...keep on the good work

What a SCAM don't buy
Shame Shame Shame! I got the "free" app for my son. He was enjoying it so I purchased $15 worth in app purchases. Once i downloaded them I gave it to my son. He must have hit the BIG RED "Purchase the whole set" button at the top of the main page just after I gave him the iPad. Because it was so soon after, it didn't ask for my password. This cost me $64.99 on top of the $15 i had already paid. So now I have paid for the first three units twice! I attempted to get a refund 5 minutes later but but Apple say "This purchase is not eligible for a refund." What a total scam!!!
