Amazing App!
I remeber doing this when I was 4 or 5. Years ago, but, it did teach my alot. Definately would recommend.
Not what I paid for
I purchased this app several months ago. My daughter loved it. Apparently it was a new version of the app, but I didn’t know that until today, when we discovered that the developer reverted to the old version. My autistic daughter is devastated. The old version is not engaging. I wish I could get my money back. I would not have purchased the old version. What I now have access to is not what I paid for. The company has lost my trust and we will no longer be using their program.

I also want the old app UPDATE Old App is Back!!!
They brought back the old version of the app! I’m changing my review from 1 star to 5 star!
Anyone following the Jolly Phonics Series will be happy to learn alongside Snake, Inky, and Bee!
Original Review: I loved the older version 1.1. My two oldest kids used it a ton. It was helpful and fun. The new version seems really slow to get anywhere useful. My kid is bored and confused before they learn anything. Is there anyway to download the old version??

Definitely not as good as the older version. DISAPPOINTED
We loved the older version of this app. But this one is not as good no letter blending or anything like that. My kids loved the flowers of the older version. The sound is forever cutting out on this version.
Key features removed in the update
As a teacher and parent, there are elements of the original Jolly Phonics app that I am disappointed to find no longer feature in the updated Adventure app. In particular, the blending activity in which children could drag their finger from left to right to make the snake sound out a word was very powerful. I credit this activity for wiring my first-born child to blend sounds from left to right; the new app lacks this activity and has more activities with letters bouncing all over the screen, which I think confuses my second child and misses an opportunity to reinforce the directionality of blending. Please reinstate the original activity!
