Exactly what I needed!
My Kindergartner-to-be needed to learn the top 100 Fry words. I tried many different apps but none hit the mark until this one.
What’s great about this app: it speaks the word, it has all the Fry word lists, it allows customizing lists (for example I combined 10 built-in Fry lists into 1), it lets you change font/color and other settings, and best of all it has a flash card mode AND a game mode. In the latter it shows the word surrounded by X (you choose) number of other words, and the child picks which written word matches the spoken word. This gives much better variety and a different mental pathway than only using flash cards.
Kudos to the developer - and all for only $0.99!!

What's the point?
I downloaded this at the recommendation of my daughter's school, and it's so basic with no instructions. What's the point of this app? If I use it like a flash card, a voice says the word first which prevents my daughter from "reading" it. I must be missing something, but there's no way to ask for help.

Sound doesn't work
The audio does not work. And when it does it is so low that you have to put the phone to your ear just to hear it? Please fix it!
Cool
Cool,but boring. I used to think this app wasn’t cool but soon,my sister had to learn words then I showed my mom this app and she liked it! So now my sister uses this app and I am really proud.-Oliver day
Nice reading app
Nice app. I wish there was a way to mark the cards off that have been mastered so they know what needs to be worked on.
Why is the volume so low??
Volume is too low
Great for Fry words
I don’t even want to know how many sight word apps I downloaded before finding this one. It does almost everything I need without a bunch of unnecessary games. Each set of Fry words is broken down into their 10 word list making it easy for me to make a favorite list for my kids to practice.
My only complaint is I have to set it up on a different device for each kid as their practice words are all different and I don’t want to create my own list with sounds every week. If I could just create a quick list from all words that would be ideal. Regardless, I’m thankful I didn’t have to build an app myself.

Great app!
Great app for working with my students on sight words!
Basic
This app is simply a blank screen with one fry word in the center. You tap the word and the app says the word out loud and then replaces it with the next word. You can customize it – find, capitalization, audio, etc. I can't imagine that it would be engaging for a kid but i'm sure there are some people who are less something just like this.

Excellent flexibility
I'm trying to help a senior citizen learn to read, and this app is probably the most helpful thing we've used so far. The reading expert we've consulted recommends we try to add just three words at a time, so the flexibility afforded in the "controls" is perfect for our needs.
Fry 1000 words
I use this with students in my tutoring groups. They enjoy all the different activities that we can do. It is the way we start every session. Thanks for such a good app and making it free.
Update
Please update this app!!! I absolutely love it, but it isn't working correctly with the new iOS.
Teach
This looks pretty cool except the pronoun I isn't capitalized and should be. Please correct that. Thank you
Sound
Sound does not remain on in settings.
Doesn't work
I love this app. I use it in my classroom everyday! This year it will NOT work on my phone or any of my iPads. I hope this get resolved because I love using it in my room!!
Can't record
Why can't I record voice
I granted access to microphone

App freezes
The app freezes often and I have to delete it completely and then download it again. It does this on my iPhone and my sons iPad. Other than that everything is great!
Awesome
This app is great
Please fix the sight word capital I
I would recommend this app if you could fix the capital I in the first 100 Words. It should always be a capital even if every other word is not capitalized.
