Good idea butโ€ฆ

Good idea but the phonics side needs work, as you have all the letters as separate graphemes, when within the word they form a digraph. For example the word โ€˜blueโ€™ should be spelled b-l-ueโ€ฆ3 sounds, with the ue working together to make the long oooh sound, whereas in your app it sounds it out as โ€œuh-ehโ€ which is obviously not how it should be sounded out when spelling. Another example I found when sampling was the โ€˜shโ€™ digraph being sounded out as two separate sounds when they work together as a digraph. I was playing with the UK phonics setting.
