### 4/5 — Promising app

*2020-06-26, version 2.1*

The app gets better and better but how about fixing existing problems from years ago ..... F , R , Y  sounds are still incorrect and have not been fixed and now with the blends and diagraphs there is sure to be more. If you added sight words this could the the one and only app one would need. Please correct the sounds.

### 3/5 — ee

*2018-05-11, version 2.0*

すごく良いアプリだと思います！
ただ、私もeeの音が出ないし、反応しません。この点を、改善していただいたら240円以上の価値があるとおもいます！
対応お願いいたします！！

### 4/5 — 音

*2018-03-12, version 2.0*

edition2のlevel3のeeの音がならないのですが、問題ないのでしょうか？

### 5/5 — Education game

*2015-03-15, version 1.0*

Good for practicing phonics. The first 40 or so sounds kids learn (i.e. A-Z, then sh, ch etc) are fully accessible. It actually has a LOT of different phonemes to practice,(i.e. more than I even realised existed) but they need to be unlocked… You have to unlock the other sounds.

### 5/5 — Wonderful app

*2015-03-15, version 1.0*

### 1/5 — レベルがカードと混在してます

*2020-12-06, version 2.1*

以前はカードとアプリが合致してましたが、カードのレベルとアプリのレベルの絵柄が混在してます。
例えば、アプリでレベル2のayの内容が、カードだとレベル3にはいっています。
使えなくなって、お金払ったのに残念です。

### 1/5 — Cannot use after payment

### 1/5 — please eeeeeee

*2019-11-08, version 2.0*

課金したのにeeの音出ません。
直してくれたら5個です。

### 1/5 — 無料じゃない

*2019-06-02, version 2.0*

課金しないと音が出ないんじゃ意味がない

### 2/5 — The cards are great but.....

*2018-04-17, version 2.0*

I am an English teacher and parent.  The Ago series is excellent. I really recommend the card games, this app is on the right path but it’s a phonics app that doesn’t have the right sounds!

“N” is pronounced “n” not “na”
“M” is pronounced “m” not “ma”
The vowel sounds are correct but all of the noun sounds have a vowel on them creating a katakana sound.  

Fix and I will recommend 

ありがとう！

### 3/5 — お金はらってましたが

*2020-07-18, version 2.1*

急に課金前の状態になり、使えなくなりました。
ビックリです。
信用できないアプリです。

### 3/5 — アップデートされてから、、、

*2020-04-25, version 2.1*

購入していたのに、level2以降がまた表示されなくなってしまいました！restoreを押してもエラーになります。

### 5/5 — Ways To Learn Review

*2025-06-18, version 3.2*

You have to switch focuses which is switching minds,it’s a repetitive learning strategy. To blend you have to not think, that would be not having anything on your next focuses. I hope this finds you well parents

### 5/5 — Good for emergent readers

*2019-12-22, version 2.0*

I am an early childhood teacher, and have had a lot of fun and success using this app with 4 and 5 year olds (native English speakers). It is a playful, intuitive and simple way for kids to explore various phoneme sounds. I recommend the AGO phonics playing cards that this app is based around as well.

### 5/5 — とてもいい！

*2019-09-28, version 2.0*

しかし なぜかeeの音が出ません

### 5/5 — 素晴らしいです

*2017-02-27, version 1.6*

大変素晴らしいフォニックスアプリです！
今度中学に上がる子供に遊び感覚で使わせています！カタカナ英語でスペルを覚えずに済むことを期待して！

### 5/5 — Fantastic phonics app!
