## Most critical reviews (8 lowest-rated)

### 3/5 — Misleading R sound taught - R sound is NOT “er”

*2021-10-22*

Please correct spoken/audible “R” sound to “rrrrrrr”. Also do not replace with “ruh” as this is also incorrect. R sound is simply “rrrr”.

We do not say — er-obot; we say robot
We do not say — er-ain; we say rain
We do not say — er-un; we say run 
We do not say — er-at; we say rat
 We do not say — er-at; we say rat
We do not say — t-er-ee; we say tree
We do not say — er-aft; we say raft
We do not say — er-ead; we say read

Please introduce young minds to accurate sounds, as although it may seem like a nominal distinction, it is wrong (and confusing and frustrating for learners)… or should I say…

Please intERoduce young minds to accuERate sounds, as it is wERong (and confusing foER leaERneERs)…

See my point?

It is only when R’s are met with vowels that we hear “er” sounds forming.

### 5/5 — Add More Words

They have more words than the ones they have right now!

### 5/5 — My granddaughter loves this app!

*2015-12-28*

We recently purchased this app for our upcoming trips. I try to download games and movies to keep my granddaughter busy on long plane rides and wanted an educational app. She is just starting to learn to read and has the Bob Books reading sets - this app is perfect for her! It kept her busy during the plane ride and I was so proud of her when she was able to create words! I'd highly recommend this app to anyone looking for an app for a child learning to read!

### 5/5 — "I like it!"

*2015-12-18*

That is exactly what my 5 year old said after being glued to this app for 20 minutes! He really enjoyed the "games" and loved seeing the pictures change from black and white to the bright colors.This is a terrific learning app!

### 5/5 — Perfect sight words app!

*2015-09-04*

I love Bob Books and this app is a perfect complement to the Sight Words book.

### 5/5 — Cute!

*2015-07-29*

What a fun little app. My niece already has these books. She loves the way the art is colorful and animated when she gets something right.

### 5/5 — My daughter loves this!

*2015-07-24*

We just downloaded this app and my daughter can play with it for a long time. She enjoyed the first two apps and loves this one, too!

### 5/5 — Wow! Terrific!

*2015-07-24*

This app has great Bob Books stories and illustrations, and even more ways to play than the first two apps. It adds a really nice tracing feature, drag-and-drop letters and words, and a fun letter spinner. 

Nicely done. Plus you can get this as part of a bundle and save a couple of bucks. Love that.
