### 5/5 — Sight words games

*2020-12-18, version 3.0*

Simple flash cards for kids

### 1/5 — Charged me twice & won't unlock! NOT HAPPY!!

*2014-04-24, version 1.7*

This app is okay, my son enjoys it. However I purchased the extras within the app, my son played with them once. Restarted the app and it's charged me again!! 

Not happy!!

### 4/5 — Toll!!

*2014-02-27*

Meine 4 jährige Tochter ist total begeistert von dieser App, sie freut sich immer wenn wir längere zeit im Auto sitzen dass sie spielen kann! Echt schön gemacht!

### 5/5 — Pas mal simple et ludique

*2013-12-10*

Application simple et ludique, accessible à mon enfant de 5 ans. Un peu cher cependant.

### 2/5 — Not great

*2013-07-17, version 1.5*

Illustrations are poor, animation is pointless, word choices are not always relevant to kids (and when they are they don't always relate to the kid experience of that item). It's also not possible to navigate past irrelevant words, nor can you customize the experience. Needs a rethink.

### 5/5 — Outsidedabax

*2012-10-12, version 1.5*

This is a really well made app. My son and I alternated doing the words. A great way to spend time together! Besides learning and practicing the alphabet he also is learning the names of many animals and objects. I have reviewed hundreds of great educational apps. This one is great!

### 5/5 — Great

### 1/5 — albatross is a pre school word??  Dumb game.

*2012-09-23, version 1.5*

My child did not like this.

### 5/5 — Bueno

*2012-09-17, version 1.5*

Que buena app

### 3/5 — Can be better

*2012-09-16, version 1.5*

Nice game but it would be better if you say the word before and after it is spelled.
