User reviews

Doesn't work!!

Doesn't open, only flashes "100% loading". Do not buy. Disappointed.

App not working

I was happy when my 5 year old took to the free version of Reading Eggs. I paid today for the full app and it won't even open. Needless to say I am out $2 and I have a disappointed kiddo. Don't waste your money.

DON'T PURCHASE

The App will not open, just an error message. Do not purchase.

Worst

I just bought this apps but I couldn't open at all, waste of money !!!

Could be so much better!

This game could be so much better than it is. My 5 year old's school recommended the website, so I thought we'd try the apps. The game is too slow, then too fast. The word you are looking for appears too infrequently and it becomes boring. As a result it wasn't long before my son discovered it's more fun to lose. The comedy consequences to getting it wrong are far more rewarding than riding out the boredom of waiting 20 seconds for the right word to appear. The app tells the child to "swipe" the egg, which often results in hitting another wrong egg at the same time. It's better to just tap. Once you reach 15 words, the game speeds up and the eggs get smaller. On an iPhone screen this doesn't work well. The eggs move far too fast and the writing is hard to read on the patterned eggs. The game has potential, but the instructions need to be clearer, the word frequency needs improvement and why doesn't it link to your website account so you can track child's progress?
