The most Boring App I’ve Ever Seen

The content is too little and dull; my child threw it away within 3 seconds.

Good idea but…

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 ‘blue’ should be spelled b-l-ue…3 sounds, with the ue working together to make the long oooh sound, whereas in your app it sounds it out as “uh-eh” which is obviously not how it should be sounded out when spelling. Another example I found when sampling was the ‘sh’ digraph being sounded out as two separate sounds when they work together as a digraph. I was playing with the UK phonics setting.

Early childhood educator:

Missed opportunity: this will be a great app when you replace the letter names with proper letter sounds. For now I don’t recommend it but it has potential!

Response from developer

First Words supports phonics! From the home screen tap Options -> Language/Phonics and choose "English - U.S. Phonics". We agree that letter sounds (phonics) provide the best early literacy activity.

Cool

This is good for my 5 year old cousin that only name how to spell hi

Response from developer

Thank you for writing. There is a user setting that controls the word order. Go to Options => Game Options => Word Order and select "Random". That will ensure that the words appear in a different order each time your cousin plays the game. The game will still use the same list of words. If you want more words, you can purchase one of our paid apps such as First Words Deluxe or First Words Professional.

Phonics is available as a user-selectable option. From the Home screen tap Options, then select Language/Phonics and choose English - U.K. - Phonics. If this meets your expectations I hope you'll consider raising your rating.
