Finally, a reading app for kids that addresses sounds versus letter names. Having taught little ones for more than 30 years, I know that we use only sounds, not letters, to read. My grandkids think it’s just a really fun reading game but I know the foundation is being laid for a positive, happy learning-to-read experience that will serve them well all their lives. Great job, Adventure Readers! ### 5/5 — Happy mom! *2019-04-04, version 2.0.1* Bravo Adventure Readers! The only problem with this app is that my five-year-old twins are fighting over my phone to play the games! This is simply a wonderful reading game for kids. ### 5/5 — Best reading app ever!! *2019-03-22* What a wonderful idea! So original and creative. Bravo!! Evelyn ### 5/5 — Helped my nephew *2019-03-19, version 2.0* My nephew was struggling with reading and this really helped him along. The story is even fun and well written. Such a great monkey! ### 5/5 — Grandma is thrilled *2019-03-18, version 2.0* We got this reading app for my grandson while he vacationed with us. We ´allowed’ him 2 hours a day of tablet time and only this app. Amazing, not only was he very engaged, but my son and wife could not believe his reading skills improvement at the end of the week he spent with us. This learning app is a ten-star! ### 5/5 — BEST READiNG APP FOR KiDS ON THE STORE *2019-03-18* One of the best reading app / reading game for kids available on the store. Congratulations! ### 5/5 — Can’t put it down *2019-03-18, version 2.0* My granddaughter loves this game. She doesn’t want to put it down. She is advancing quickly and learning so much. She thinks it’s so fun. We love that it is really teaching her. We both are winners on this learning game. ### 5/5 — Great App! *2018-06-14, version 1.0.4* Great reading app!! ### 5/5 — Great Reading App *2018-06-03, version 1.0* My 5 year old daughter really likes this app, she could not wait to wake up to use it. I like how it focuses on letter sounds and not the names of the letters themselves-makes sense. The part where they write the letter and it shows the correct directions is very useful too. They could improve it further by using a greater variety of words. ### 5/5 — Best App for learning to read for kids *2018-05-24, version 1.0* Learning to read can be hard, for parents and beginning readers. That is why I am so excited to find this gem. It is a reading game that is engaging and works great. You get completely involved in the process and you enjoy each screen. Actually it feels like I am staring in space cartoon, while saving the world, l learn to read! Great job. ### 5/5 — I love this App *2018-05-22, version 1.0* We have tried several apps to get our son reading. Finally we found something that keeps his attention. I truly recommend this to anyone looking to help their child learn to read. ### 5/5 — Adventure reader *2018-05-15, version 1.0* This is such a fantastic app! I used it with my three year old grandson and he was completely enthralled! He loved that it played back his own voice to him as he voiced the sounds and the words. If you have a child who is 3 years or older, you need to buy this app. At $3.99 it is a steal! ### 5/5 — Adventure Readers *2018-05-13, version 1.0* This is an awesome app for young children to learn to read. It uses sound reading principles, excellent graphics, characters and voices; and an exciting adventure story. All modalities of language are utilized- listening, speaking, reading, and some writing. Good repetition enhances memory. Short vowel sounds, all consonants, and important sight words are incorporated. The low price makes this app especially attractive. ### 5/5 — Awesome reading app for kids *2018-05-11, version 1.0* This is an incredible app! Best thing I've found to help my son learn to read. Fun, fun, fun reading game. ### 5/5 — Amazing and Fun App *2018-05-05, version 1.0* This is by far the most entertaining and engaging reading app I’ve come across. We really enjoy the graphics and entertaining story plots. This app is ingenious and very helpful for different range of ages. Highly recommend!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This is not a free app, don’t waste your time *2021-04-01, version 2.0.3* This app is not worth your time ### 1/5 — 0 Stars *2021-01-26, version 2.0.3* Would have given 0 stars if I could no sample or test run immediately asking for payment prior to use. ### 2/5 — Good intentions *2019-02-23, version 2.0* This is a pretty decent app and my 3.5 yr old likes it. However I dislike that they only tell you the sounds of the letter. But it won’t tell you the name of the letter. Ex: first shows you the letter “n” next will give you a picture of a nail and nest, Then, it will say tap on the picture of a nail “sound the n makes” nail. It doesn’t every say this is “n and it sounds like s” ### 3/5 — Need to have re do or return bott *2020-03-20, version 2.0.3* Like the app but need to have return part because some time the kids need to learn more than 1 time ### 4/5 — Wonderful app for early learning *2019-11-05, version 2.0.3* My kindergartener just spend an hour on here! The app is super fun and educational. I always refuse to pay for apps but I am SO happy I took the plunge on this one. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2020-01-20, version 2.0.3* Helped my son a lot and boosted his want to read just with the story line! I never really leave reviews but way to go on this app! ### 5/5 — He is loving it!,, *2019-10-31, version 2.0.3* My 4 year old, very active (did I say very!!!) Grandson LOVES this program. The colors, the activity, the positive reinforcement. We are spending quality time together, all while satisfying his inquisitive mind, settling him down with focus and fun. I am not a person who usually reviews items, but I am so impressed by this one, I just had to share. I highly recommend this fabulous program. ### 5/5 — The best app ever *2019-09-29, version 2.0.3* I love the way they teach you amazing things and I love it I can’t for what’s next,!!!!! ### 5/5 — Great please bring in more!!! *2019-07-25, version 2.0.2* This is the only reading program my grandaughter really enjoys...she actually asks to use it!!! Yay please add more! ### 5/5 — This reading app is phenomenal! *2019-04-24, version 2.0.1* My niece loves this reading app. ## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Best reading game ever! *2019-04-20, version 2.0.1* This is one sensational app! I can’t imagine the thought and work that was put into it. Most reading apps I’ve purchased take a very short time to get through and I don’t see much learning going on. My son loves the graphics and characters in Adventure Readers and he’s quickly learning to put sounds together to make words, something he struggled with in the past. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants their child to have a successful beginning with reading. Good job Adventure Readers! ### 5/5 — This is amazing *2019-04-11, version 2.0.1* My daughter loves this reading app and she’s has learned so much! ### 5/5 — Awesome game! *2019-04-10, version 2.0.1* Awesome reading and learning educational game for kids! I’ve used it as a teacher to help young students learn! It’s amazing and fun for the kids! ### 5/5 — Best reading app ever *2019-04-09, version 2.0.1* My five-year-old loves this reading game and monkey has become her best friend. I can't believe how quickly she's putting sounds together to make words. $3.99... are you kidding me? This app is priceless! ### 5/5 — Super App *2019-04-08, version 2.0.1* Wow! It’s crazy how much my daughter loves this reading app. She played it on her friend’s iPad and begged me to get it. So glad I did. She is learning fast! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
