### 1/5 — Disappointed

*2015-01-29, version 1.1*

Doesn't pronounce/read the words? It only shows spellings

### 2/5 — None

*2013-12-02, version 1.1*

Would be better if it read the blend and then the word for students to hear both.

### 1/5 — Incomplete app

*2013-03-04, version 1.0*

Needs to show the completed words. Having the sounds to match the puzzle pieces would be good to.  Without it's too hard for the k-1 kids.

### 1/5 — Consonant Blends

*2013-02-27, version 1.0*

The concept is nice with the puzzle aspect, but that is it.  App does not say the blend sound, nor does it say the word when you make a correct one. There should be an option to turn sound on and off.  If you can read already then why would you need this app.

If the app gets updated where it says the blend sound and the word after it is made then this app would be more useful.

### 2/5 — Consonant blends

*2012-07-22, version 1.0*

Good for word making, though I wish it would read the word aloud that you made. It does not give the option to go back to the main menu if you want to do a different blend. Nothing too exciting.
