I played the game for a short time and found that this program was teaching the blending of words incorrectly. For example, this program says the individual sounds of c-a-r, but blends the sounds together to say car. This is incorrect because the letter a does not make a sound when you read the word car since it is being “bossed” around by the letter r. Words with ar, er, ir, or, and ur are part of the “bossy r” family where the vowel is never heard. Therefore, words with these bossy r letters should never be taught by blending the individual sounds together of c-a-r the way they did in this program. It is misleading and doesn’t teach the child why suddenly they don’t hear the a sound in the word car. Also, the program sounds out g-e-m, using the g sound individually. However, when you read the word, the g sound becomes a j sound in order to say the word correctly. However, the program does not teach the child it suddenly changes from a g sound when read individually to a j sound when read as a word. Why.....because this program does not teach the soft vs. hard g sounds and what affects the change from a hard g sound to a sound g sound. My recommendation is the developer should have an educator look over their teaching techniques for accurate learning ### 1/5 — Please rectify this issue *2020-02-29, version 1.2.5* The alphabet i in your programme is not show correctly. My child cannot identify the letter i (without the dot) my child think is a L letter. You should do something about this. ### 1/5 — 이시언 *2019-04-06* 이시언 ### 1/5 — Sound *2018-08-19, version 1.1.2* Not able to get sound although it is checked in settings ### 2/5 — Phonics are inaccurate *2025-07-24, version 1.5.9* Please review your phonics sounds as they are inaccurate! ### 2/5 — Phonics are inaccurate *2025-03-06, version 1.5.3* Please review your phonics sounds as they are inaccurate! ### 2/5 — Incorrect sounds *2024-11-17, version 1.5.2* The app says the wrong sounds for the letters t,p, and c. It probably has more errors. ### 3/5 — Phonics sounds *2025-12-12, version 1.6.8* I downloaded this app for my three year old daughter. My goal was/is to teach her to spell and blend phonic sounds. I immediately noticed in each word the t sound is done incorrectly. I was really excited about this learning app because it is Lucas and friends and their other learning apps are great. I am a bit disappointed and would love if they improve this along with the proper blending phonics sounds. For example, in c-a-r the letters are individually sounded out. The a in car is silent. I gave it a 3 in rating because aside from that it really has potential to be great. The graphics are great. ### 3/5 — Would be good if you could input their grade *2025-07-08* Seems you have to start very basic..? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — No WiFi Need *2026-08-29, version 1.7.9* This app is great my daughter has been using it for 6 months and is currently writing letters on her own as well as read and enunciate the word.
