User reviews

So great but I have one concern

I love this app and it looks so user friendly. I wanted to recommend it some of the parents of my beginning readers. However, when flipping through the blending board on my own, I inadvertently made a “bad word.” Even if it spelled like a nonsense word, students could still decode this. I know I can control which letters or change to avoid this, but to the creator of this app: is there a way for you to turn off certain combinations of letters so they can’t make swear words?

No sound

This is a nice application but there is no sound for kids/parents to check if they are sounding the words well.

Needs an option for fourth column

This app seems like it will be super helpful, but I need the ability to add a fourth column so I can add suffix s.

Edit Current Decks

This app is almost perfect for my OG instruction, but I wish I could edit my current decks to add newly learned concepts. The developed sounds already provided are fantastic. As some reviewed, there are certain consonants and digraphs that should only be in the first or third column, but unchecking unwanted cards is great. I really appreciate that any card can be created. I have toyed with the idea of creating rote/red word cards because of this feature. Excellent app for managing multiple card decks!

Problem with adding letters

I was so excited to use this app! However when I add the letters ch in the third column the letters show up in the second column as well! What am I doing wrong?
