### 1/5 — Great when it actually works

*2026-02-10*

App was great when it worked and was really helping. But the app itself is glitchy. Hasn’t been working now for two weeks. I’ve emailed support multiple times and have not heard back. Disappointing when I’ve just been charged $16.49 for the month and it’s not even working.

### 1/5 — Ich kann keinen Account erstellen

*2025-09-12*

Können Die mir helfen, ich kann den Account erstellen Vorgang nicht abschließen. Ich klicke auf die Sprache und dann kommen 4 Buttons, warum ich diese App für mein Kind brauche. Und dann geht es nicht weiter. Was muss ich tun?

### 2/5 — Good concept, needs improvement.

*2025-05-06*

My 7 year old enjoyed the app until it required him to read the words out loud, the app did not pick up him saying the word which was frustrating to him. He then lost interest in the app quickly. We attempted several times and used the full trial period before giving up.

### 4/5 — Nearly great

*2025-02-23, version 3.26.0*

I really wanted this to work for my son but he keeps getting frustrated as often the speaker doesn’t pick up what he is saying. I have cancelled the subscription for now but I am hoping to come back at a later date and try again as I do think this could be really helpful for my son if it wasn’t for the speaker issues.

### 3/5 — So schade!

*2025-02-12*

Die Aufmachung der Übungen und die täglichen, kurzen Einheiten motivieren unseren Sohn sehr. Leider wird er - da das Lesen und Schreiben ihm wirklich schwer fallen - absolut durcheinander gebracht vom Nennen der Buchstabennamen (statt der Lautnamen, die das Zusammenziehen erleichtern) sowie von der abweichenden Anordnung der Buchstaben auf der Tastatur. Das ist so schade, weil wir dringend eine gute, motivierende Übungsmöglichkeit für ihn suchen. Wenn eine App, die für Kinder mit LRS beworben wird, das Lesen und Schreiben noch zusätzlich erschwert, ist das wirklich frustrierend.

### 5/5 — Improved sons confidence

*2025-01-09, version 3.26.0*

I got this for my 6 year old who we strongly suspect has dyslexia and have been working with school to put support in place. This app is really helping with his confidence and enthusiasm for writing and spelling. Would highly recommend

### 3/5 — Speaker function

*2024-10-30, version 3.26.0*

Anyone else having problem with the speaker function? When my grandson has to say the word the app just doesn’t hear it ….also doesn’t seem to be any different levels to start from or am I missing something?

### 1/5 — Charged £38.99 for a free trial

*2024-09-29, version 3.26.0*

I have just been charged for what I thought was a free trial, an absolute disgrace.
Sadly it is not right for my child.
I would like a refund as soon as possible please.

### 3/5 — Good contents but need technical improvement

*2024-09-19, version 3.25.0*

I think the content is great for kids with dyslexia, and the concept of making a spaceship really motivates my son. However, the app doesn’t consistently recognize words correctly. I noticed my son pronouncing the words accurately, but the app didn’t highlight them in blue, which usually indicates a correct answer. This could be confusing for dyslexic kids, making them uncertain about their reading accuracy. As a result, I always need to sit beside him to confirm his answers. Please consider improving this technical issue. The content is excellent, especially for families who can’t afford extensive intervention programs.

### 2/5 — More info

*2024-05-27, version 3.21.0*

Also it didn’t pick up on voices either a lot of the time, so frustrating for a child who has learning issues to start with,
