## What is Jolly Phonics Songs?

All our hugely popular songs from Jolly Phonics are now available in one fun app, which includes the actions too! Children will love learning their letter sounds by singing along to the Jolly Songs and doing the actions. Being able to identify the letter sounds in words will help them with both their reading and writing. This app will entertain the whole family or school classroom.

• Easily switch between British or American English and Precursive or Print letter fonts.

• There's a highlighter option to track each word as it is sung, helping the child to read. This can also be switched off.

• Autoplay option available from the info page

• Includes the vowels song.

• Includes a description and an image for each of the Jolly Phonics actions.

• Easy to use navigation to quickly find the song you want to play.

• With beautiful illustrations from our Jolly Songs book.

• Includes an index of all the songs.


For customers experiencing problems with sound first check that the side switch is not activated (you should not see a red dot on the switch). Then ensure the volume is turned up. Now open the app. If you still hear no sound at this point, swipe up from the very bottom of your screen and when you see the arrow swipe up again to pull up the on-screen menu pages. Ensure you are on the first menu page and if you see a red button with a bell and a line through it this is means your ringer is set to mute and is why you cannot hear any sound in our app. Simply touch the button to turn the sound back on. Now swipe down on the menu to return to the app and you should now hear sound when you play a song. For an in-depth guide please see this link:

### 2/5 — no song

*2025-08-21*

I could hear at first, howerver 3month after I couldn't hear songs.

### 2/5 — Old version of the songs

*2025-06-07*

The songs are the old version. The p song for example has the ‘pink pig’ rather than the pink cake only.

### 2/5 — Old version

*2025-06-03*

I assumed the songs would be of the newer version. For example, in their jolly phonics app in iPhone, they have the song for p where they say ‘pink pink cake’ but here it still says pink pig cake. They have replaced the pink pig cake everywhere including the book. I don’t know why they still want to sell the older songs here.

### 1/5 — DON’t download

*2025-03-20*

No sound. And no refund. 😭😭😭😭

They have another app similar to this one. It works well too and its free. The mouse on the app picture and same name is the app. I’ve contacted them about this app and they were very helpful and nice. They helped me on how to get a refund.

### 1/5 — Sounds

### 1/5 — Do not purchase, no sound

*2023-11-16*

This app is a sound-based phonics program with no sound. Useless. Do not buy.

### 1/5 — Refund

I can’t hear nothing.
I'd like a refund, please.
