Great game!!

This is a game I remember playing as a kid! I wanted to find it again, and my little sister did. Iโ€™m so happy she did because it brought me so much happy memories!! I love this game and would recommend it! Anyone reading this, know that you are loved and youโ€™ve got this!!

Low sound love app

I love this app as an SLP! The only issue is that I cannot increase the sound on my iPad and there doesnโ€™t seem to be a way to do it in settings of the app. I can barely hear it. Not sure if others have this issue.

Hi there! Thanks for the helpful tip. I fixed the sound bug in Version 2.2.2. Enjoy! -JB

Speech language pathologist recommends

As a speech-language pathologist working with young children, Hideout is one of the main apps I recommend to parents to help their children learn the basics to reading. The app is great for typically developing children or developmentally delayed children. Hideout can help boost phonological awareness through its repetition, rhythm, word families, blending, and sentence awareness.

Great for Rhyme Time

I love this app for a quick Kindergarten rhyme time review. it is not only fun for kids but adults are captivated too. This program incorporates song, movement, and visuals to review word families. Also this Swiss family Robinson tree house hideout naturally taps into a young childโ€™s intrigue. Way to go!

Kids' favorite game

I can't believe I've never left a review for this game. My 6 year old loved this game when he was younger, and it's now his little brother's favorite game! I love the pop up words and engaging games. The levels are well balanced with straight reading instruction and game play, perfect for a kid's attention span. Thank you for making an amazing game!

My Son Like This

My son love this app. I can see where there's a lot of possibilities with this app. Going inside the three house. Setting the app to make the child read this out load to score points to access different areas in the tree house. My son love the hip music too. It's a great start.

Very Educational!

I have 3 kids ranging from 5 to 1. All three of my kids love it. It's entertaining and helps them become familiar with word sounds.

In app purchases are not good for schools

I love this app and would have given it 5 stars until it added an in app purchase. We work with schools that use an MDM and in app purchases can not be made. Also the way the app brings the student directly to the letters that require an in app purchase is not helpful. If you want to make another dollar on the app charge the full price in the App Store so students can use your full app.

Response from developer

Hi there! You're right; adding In-App Purchases was a bad decision. I have removed the In-App Purchase and all associated iconography and interface, and will never, ever bring it back. Have a nice day.

Great phonics reinforcement.

Love this app. It's easy to use. My children love it. It teaches new letter combinations and reviews previously learned phonics. Can you please make an app for long vowels? Thank you.

I love this app!

This is an engaging, interesting app for early readers. Great supplement for any reading curriculum.

Love the new endings

Thank you for adding 3 new endings! They're great! My daughter played through all of them and loves them-especially the snack rack. Keep the updates coming!

Not a great ux app at all

Clicked on a screen showed animation and no way of getting back to home screen.

Excellent

My kids love this app!
I have probably 250 games on my phone and several iPods. My young kids quite consistently will play this game, for multiple years now. Very glad to see a huge update. Thank you BYU and those that developed this!

Excellent app

My children both love this app!

Best phonics app I have found

I had to research phonics apps for my master's degree. This was the only truly excellent one I found. I've long since deleted all of the others but have hung on to this one. Kids love it, and so do their parents.
