Open Up Family Sharing
Great app to build early readers skills. I just do not get this not being available for Family Sharing!! Subscription purchased on adults iPhone and not able to share it child’s iPad. Makes no sense to me.
Won’t be renewing until it’s available for Family Share.JMAH1121
My daughter loves it, great purchase!
My daughter is 4 and very intelligent; and had another educational app we were using. I decided to give this app a try as well and it’s great! She requires a lot be challenged and this app is perfect for that. The lessons are tailored to what she needs and allows for her to review often if needed. I highly recommend!! I also like the review/practice material that comes in the mail also. As well, as the review emails that lets you know how well she’s doing and the areas in which she may need a little more work in. Overall best purchase! Considering she’s not in preschool and will be starting school for the first time as a kindergartner. I have no worries she’ll do great!Show lessokay1904

Hi there, Thank you so much for this glowing review. We are delighted to hear that our program has been the perfect mix of challenge and confidence building in preparing your daughter for Kindergarten. Keep up the great work, and thank you for including us on your reading journey!Please make getting the right answers a bit more interesting.
My little one enjoys this app, and learns from it, but you wouldn’t know it by her performance. Why? The animations for wrong answers are more interesting, visually speaking, than those for correct answers. For instance, the flowers in the bee game.
The petals shake and disappear for wrong answers, while a correct answer elicits a simple “ding.” The baby determinedly chooses wrong answers, avoiding the right one, because she wants to see the more interesting animations.
Making correct answers more visually appealing would greatly improve this app.Show less11710070514

Thanks for your review and feedback. We're always trying to make improvements to our program and appreciate your opinion. We'll share this with our Product Development Team for future consideration.App is pain to use
Got a free trial of this but after 1st day I can’t wait to cancel. I try to manage my subscription or account but the app redirects me to webpage. Can’t sign into account. It keeps telling me “invalid username and password”. I have changed my password 3 times and still won’t log me in. Absolutely ridiculous and can’t wait to get rid of this terrible app and subscription. Why not just let me do everything through the app and stop making it all so ridiculous to navigate??Show lessChfbrd
Could be great if the app ever worked
This app is incredibly frustrating. We have never made it past 2 exercises until the next one just won’t load. Customer service is no help, even after providing screen shots of the problem they just tell you it’s fine on their end. I’ve used the app on multiple different devices all with same lack of loading and then error message. So buy it if you enjoy kids staring at an app that stalls out and won’t work and customer service who suddenly goes silent when you say the phrase “I would like a refund”. And no it’s not an internet issue or an operating system issue, it’s literally the app only, everything else works.Show lesseivv120805

My 5 year old was struggling in preschool being ahead. I bought this program to help him out and get an early start to kindergarten. We did our first purple learn to read book and within 10 minutes of doing the lesson he read his first book! He was so excited and couldn’t wait to show his teacher! This is definitely worth every penny!Show lessAshley340789
Great but..
So my son has been using this app for almost 2 weeks now and has definitely improved on his speech and words BUT his package has not arrived , I got an email saying it shipped but when I checked the tracking it said that “it could not be found” We have definitely been looking forward to using the practice workbook to go along with his work but so far it’s just been nerve wrecking with this.Show lessboomer2000025
It helps but easily bores
Before pre-k my son had already mastered the alphabet and phonics so I was excited to try this with him to challenge him to learn more. The lessons are good but since there is little to no variety he races thru it to get finished. They do get harder as far as words go but there is zero challenge in the lessons. And it is literally the same set of lessons over and over just with different word families. I do appreciate that the lessons build up and continue using words he has already practiced. But PLEASE add some variety to the lessons so young readers stay engaged and have something new to look forward too.Show lessLaynaStar

People! Listen up! This is by far the BEST way to build literacy skills! I’m a 90s baby and I grew up on Hooked on Phonics. Now I get to share the same experience with my child! This platform is incredible to use, my son is 5 and has developed phonemic awareness, letter recognition and can write! Through the use of HOP, he has developed a love for literacy and that is a mother’s DREAM! Additionally, I made a goof in my account and called the customer support team for help. Ryan Roberson was AWESOME and even took the time to understand my child’s needs on a personal level. He went above and beyond to fix my issue and showed incredible pride in the company. Give him a raise! Parents, don’t hesitate. Be the teacher your child needs and take the stress out of homeschool! Subscribe to Hooked on Phonics ASAP! It’s worth it!Show lessCrysG24

I just leave the monthly packet on our kitchen table and my 4yo and I have been slowly working our way. He loves it! I don’t pressure him and so sometimes we fall behind on the months, but he is reading already! (Started July to August). We keep the books in his room that they send and we read them some of the nights at bedtime to reinforce what he has learned. Love it!Show lesskatssps
