The letter choices don’t match the sound that the phonics prompt makes. Need my money back. This did nothing but confuse my daughter. ### 1/5 — Awful!!! *2022-06-13, version 1.0* Need help with letter recognition for my son, the app doesn’t even have the correct letter on the screen!!! I want a refund! ### 1/5 — Not worth a cent *2022-02-01, version 1.0* Keeps saying numbers that aren’t there! Gave it a one star only because I couldn’t do lower ### 1/5 — Does not work *2022-01-16, version 1.0* Letter boards do not work. For example the app is announcing k about k is not an option in the letters provided. I want a refund ### 1/5 — Actually wrong *2022-01-14, version 1.0* This app said that a W was an N and an I was a U. I deleted after that. Clearly doesn’t work. Terrible app. ### 1/5 — Do not bother *2021-09-23, version 1.0* Downloaded this game to help my daughter with letters that she I struggling to remember and it is not accuarate at all. It would as for a “P” and there would be no P on the screen. So I just started hitting letters and it said I was correct when I hit the Q. Not even close. Don’t waste your time on this app. ### 2/5 — Needs glitches fixed *2021-09-13, version 1.0* I love the concept of the app and the ways to learn but the audio sound for the letters do no match up. It’s makes no sense to have your kids use this app of the sounds or make of the letters do not match up. Please fix, I really love the way the app is set up to learn! ### 1/5 — Incorrect name of alphabets *2021-07-31, version 1.0* The game shows incorrect results which can be misleading for children learning their alphabets. ### 1/5 — Letter and name don’t match *2021-05-23, version 1.0* It asked for Z and there wasn’t Z available but when we clicked G it said that was correct.... can’t help my child learn the alphabet if you teach him wrong!!! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2021-04-25, version 1.0* This app is terrible. It does not match letters or phonic sounds. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2021-04-12, version 1.0* The letter the app asks the student to click is no where on the page. And when you do happen to find the correct letter to match, it says it’s wrong? I’m so confused with this app. It could be great but it is totally off with what it is asking the student to match as opposed to what it displays on the screen. ### 1/5 — This app doesn’t work *2021-04-01, version 1.0* I installed this app on my iPad, iOS 14 and the voice and the letters are totally out of sync. This app stinks. ### 1/5 — Wrong Answers *2021-01-25, version 1.0* The app is not giving appropriate answers for the letter it says. ### 1/5 — The letters are WRONG *2021-01-19, version 1.0* None of the letters are correct. You literally have to pick the wrong letter to get it marked correct. This app is worse than useless. ### 1/5 — Awful! *2021-01-15, version 1.0* They would say L and the L would not be on the board or if I clicked L it would say I was wrong. None of the letters matched! Terrible!! ### 1/5 — Letters aren’t right! *2021-01-06, version 1.0* This was supposed to help my daughter learn her letters, but the correct letter isn’t there when asked to find it. Also, it tells her good job when she selects the wrong one. ### 1/5 — Teaching wrong letters *2020-07-29, version 1.0* I previewed the game before I let my son play it, the speaker said letter N and there was no N listed to click on so I clicked on B and they said correct. Too many glitches. Detrimental to my son’s learning. ### 1/5 — Letters aren’t there😕 *2020-07-16, version 1.0* The app is asking my child to recognize a letter that isn’t showing on the screen. Example: “F” so we tapped on all of them and it accepted “W.” This went on for 4 different screens. ### 1/5 — Horrible *2020-05-13, version 1.0* I was in the letter recognition area of the app and it was asking to identify letters that were not shown in the grid. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Does not work *2025-03-18, version 1.0* I am working on letter identification with a student. The app says a letter and it isn’t in the choices. You just have to click letters until you select the one that allows you to advance to the next slide. ### 1/5 — Messed up😡 *2024-09-08, version 1.0* Just loaded this app to use in my kindergarten class and all the sounds/pictures are wrong and don’t match up. Don’t know what’s wrong with it. I ended up deleting it. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2023-05-29, version 1.0* The app asks you to find a letter but doesn’t match the correct sound to the letter. The opposite of helpful. Would give negative stars if I could. ### 1/5 — Great games but everything is mixed up! *2023-05-17, version 1.0* I love the different games you have but the graphics and the speech don’t match up, rendering your app useless at the moment. Such a shame! ### 1/5 — Inaccurate letters *2023-02-17, version 1.0* The design of the activities is exactly what I need for my learners, but the answers are all wrong! ### 1/5 — Not correct letters *2023-02-08, version 1.0* I just downloaded this app. It says a letter to find, and the that letter is not there to choose from. If you click through the letters it will eventually say correct, but it is not the correct letter. ### 1/5 — Awful *2023-01-22, version 1.0* We only tried two letter identification questions, both were wrong. It said to find B, there was no B on the screen. Then it said to find T and it said we were wrong when we clicked the T but when we hit F ### 1/5 — Terrible *2022-11-05, version 1.0* This is a terrible app for practicing the alphabet. The letter sounds and names are incorrect ### 1/5 — Bad *2022-10-18, version 1.0* I tested this out before letting my daughter try it, and good thing I did. The app will say a letter name, and you’re supposed to tap on the correct letter. It will say “B” but when you press “B”, it’s wrong. I didn’t get a check mark until I clicked H when it was saying B. It also will say a letter name and the correct letter isn’t even an option to choose from. Would be good if the app actually taught the correct letters matched with the correct letter name. ### 1/5 — Nothing works properly! *2022-07-19, version 1.0* The app “says” a letter. The user is supposed to tap the correct letter, but it isn’t on the board. When I went to add the letters to the board I realized that the recorded names of the letters don’t match. It was saying “h” when you tap “t”. Also wouldn’t let us set up an account to track progress. Not useful at all. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app! *2020-09-21, version 1.0* It’s a wonderful app for preschoolers to learn their Letters ### 5/5 — Love it!!! *2020-04-10, version 1.0* Helps my students with Autism great resource ### 5/5 — Great variety of activities *2018-07-30, version 1.0* So many different ways to reinforce letter sounds and names. Provides fun repetition for those kids who need it! ### 5/5 — Looks great *2018-06-20, version 1.0* Love that you can customise this. Can't wait to try it ### 5/5 — Great App. *2018-05-21, version 1.0* My two year old actually begs to use this instead of YouTube Kids. She has only learned 5 letters but I think it’s great she learned at all. I looked this company up and they are really respectable and have tons of great resources. I will definitely get more apps from them in the future. ### 5/5 — Great App *2018-03-23, version 1.0* This is an excellent learning app for my students. The variety of activities engages different levels of learners. I especially like the letter formation practice since it requires kids to use the correct patterns which is essential for good handwriting. Thanks for this! ### 5/5 — Nice game *2018-02-25, version 1.0* My preschooler loves this game! ### 5/5 — Excellent learning tool. *2018-01-29, version 1.0* Makes learning easy and fun for earl learners. The fun part is important in maintaining their attention. ### 5/5 — Both my 2 and 5 year olds love it *2018-01-27* My 2 year old loves letters and he has so much fun with this app. He already recognizes all the upper and lower case letters but I love how this reinforces them. My 5 year old is reading at a second grade level and he has fun with this app too. All in all, it’s a great pick. ### 5/5 — Mama east *2018-01-05, version 1.0* Great app I work with a special needs child it helps him. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
