Update

Is there a way for this app to get updated? I really like what it is, however, there is no sound. I think it just needs an update since the last one was YEARS ago!

NO SOUND

What happened? There used to be sound now there's none.

This is really nice for my 5 year old :-)

...that this is a multipurpose application that appears to be perfect for all facets of education. I incorporate literacy into the goals and objectives for the students and this seems to have all the components I look for in an application. This is easy to program, collect, data, and is engaging. I might have found my favorite application designer.

Good Concept, Poor Pronunciation

I love the idea. Played it a bit to try it out, and the learn and practice sections are great. The irritating part is how some of the sounds are pronounced. The 'th' sounds more like a 'ch' or 'sh' sound, the 'a' almost sounds more like a short e sound, and the 'w' sounds like the 'oo' sound. I tried to get past it, but can't. Maybe there were others too, but those grated on me the worst. I can't imagine handing it to my child to have them practice phonics when the sounds aren't even right.
