There is no way to adjust that sound without also adjusting the phonics sound. ### 2/5 — Parent settings not working *2020-04-21, version 3.0* Hi have been using ABC Ninja for years and have loved using it. However with in the last few months the parent settings to customize letters and sounds has not be working. That tool was amazing and one of the reason I bought the app. Would give it a 5 if that was working properly. ### 4/5 — Please ugrade *2020-04-15, version 3.0* Would love to use this but cannot customise anymore ### 3/5 — Crashes *2020-02-03, version 3.0* The app is crashing when I go into the settings. ### 2/5 — I sorta like the game *2019-08-09, version 3.0* Like I don’t hate it but now I’m in 3rd grade and it’s useless ### 1/5 — No sound *2019-07-09, version 3.0* Would be a great app if the sound worked. ### 1/5 — It’s not working. No sound. *2019-06-14, version 3.0* I was hoping to have my son practice listening to sounds but it’s not working. I hope you could fix this. Seems like the intention in creating this app is great but the app itself crashes. ### 2/5 — Eh *2019-05-23, version 3.0* It seems like a good idea but I wish it was a big better. My ENL student gets confused when he slices a letter and the game says a letter that’s different from what he sliced. I agree. It’s good, but could be better. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2019-02-02, version 3.0* Paid money for this app and wish I could get it back because the app crashes every time I try to change the setting to abc phonics. ### 1/5 — Disappointed. *2018-12-07, version 3.0* The sound doesn’t work, rendering the game useless. I contacted support with no response. ### 1/5 — No sound *2018-11-07, version 3.0* There’s no sound or way to allow access to the microphone either. ### 1/5 — Sounds? *2018-10-01, version 3.0* Kind of pointless without sound. ### 1/5 — Perfect- Love It! Makes Learning Fun *2018-03-01, version 3.0* My son’s Kindergarten teacher sent home key/sight words printed online on plain pieces of paper for us to cut out with scissors and make into flashcards for home. Wow! How exciting- no color, paper falls apart, no images of the words. He hated doing them, and was not actively learning. He loves fruit ninja, so I tried ABC Ninja, and Fry Words Ninja, worried about the reviews I read here. Tried them both-love them! So took a chance on this version too. It is great. Like fruit ninja concept, but not a flashy arcade game trying to sell upgrades to my six year-old. No advertisements or kid-unfriendly pop-ups. Love how it tracks words you get or have trouble with, sets difficulty levels, sets reading customized lists. Really excited to see his progress with these sets of apps! Exactly what I was looking for - easy to use and focus on the words, no baby images that he has outgrown, really just great! ### 1/5 — Disappointing. No sound *2018-01-26, version 3.0* No sound. So the app is pointless. I emailed the company right away and still haven’t heard anything back. You should at least stand behind your products even if it was only $1. ### 2/5 — Strange - nearly great *2018-01-03, version 3.0* If the idea is for the child to slice the correct letter, then why let them slice all letters? Just change that and this app will be great. Currently it does not teach much. ### 4/5 — Doesn't work *2017-09-05, version 3.0* Just letters popping up on screen, the sound doesn't work so you can't actually play the game ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Glitchy app *2026-01-20, version 3.0* We tried to set the app so it only does capital letters and when we click on that option in settings the app closes out. Basically we can’t use it as intended by our child’s teacher ### 1/5 — There’s no sound or instructions *2022-10-13, version 3.0* There’s no sound or instructions. Just swiping through random letters doesn’t do much. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2022-02-10, version 3.0* Just paid for three of these Ninja apps only to see that not one single one has any sound! How do I remedy this? They are absolutely useless if my little man can’t hear anything. ### 1/5 — No sound and crashes *2021-08-11, version 3.0* Paid and downloaded. Sound doesn’t work and crashes when I go into settings. Terrible purchase. ### 1/5 — Sound not working *2021-04-28, version 3.0* Can’t play the game with no sound ### 1/5 — Crashing *2020-11-18, version 3.0* I have paid for this app twice and it continues to crash and have no sound on multiple occasions. I do not have problems with any other apps on this iPad ### 1/5 — No Sound *2020-02-22, version 3.0* I emailed the developers to ask them to fix the sound quite some time ago. No reply. No fix. This app is essentially unusable without sound. And now as I’m typing this review, the text is not visible. I wonder if it will even show up on the review page. Is this their way of not getting any bad reviews people can see? ### 1/5 — No teaching *2020-02-08, version 3.0* No sound. Single letters pop up there’s no game aspect. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2020-02-01, version 3.0* I thought maybe since the previous review was older that this issue would have been resolved but the sound still doesn’t work. Unfortunate because it has the potential to be an awesome learning tool. ### 1/5 — Sound not working *2019-10-25, version 3.0* Sound not working ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Upgrade on our phone was required *2022-10-02, version 3.0* I at first rated the app 1 star. I purchased for .99 cents and could not get any sound features to work. After sitting with it for about an hour and troubleshooting we discovered our phone needed an update. After update was finished, game worked perfectly. My son could not be happier. They play this game on their iPads at school. He isn’t the best and has told me he doesn’t understand, so I was excited to know we could practice more at at 🙂 Now we just need to figure out how to share it onto his iPad now that I have downloaded it into my phone. I do see there is family share capabilities up to 6 family members ### 5/5 — ABC baby *2019-02-12, version 3.0* ABCdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxy and z ### 5/5 — Don’t waste your dollar - There’s no sound *2018-11-11, version 3.0* My phone is updated, so the lack of sound is the app - not my phone or settings. What is the point of this game if there is no sound? Don’t waste your dollar. ### 5/5 — Great for differentiation *2017-05-29, version 3.0* This app is great for new learners and struggling learners alike. I love that I can adjust the settings to help differentiate for each child and that it gives me feedback at the end of each game. The graphics are very appealing and the game keeps their attention for longer than anything else. I love this app and ALL the ninja apps that go along with it! ### 5/5 — Great learning app! *2016-02-03, version 2.0* This app is great for learning letter recognition. It's easy and fun and keeps a kids attention! Love all the apps by this company ### 5/5 — My 4 year old daughter use this app *2015-10-23, version 2.0* My 4 year old daughter use this app daily. It is simple game but helpful for my daughter to identify letters correctly . At the end of each game , there is review of results which provide more insights ### 5/5 — Love it!! *2015-06-12, version 2.0* Great app. Please make it available in Spanish for my dual language kids. ### 5/5 — Learning with fun - a great combination. *2015-06-02, version 2.0* Thanks for such a thoughtful app. I plan to use it to help migrants and refugees who are absolute beginners in English. ### 5/5 — Fabulous *2015-04-24, version 2.0* Easy to use, teaches perfectly, fun and free. Better than some paid apps. ### 5/5 — Pre-k *2015-02-11, version 2.0* Brilliant for Kids pre-k level --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
