Some words like SAP, NAG are very difficult for my child to read and understand. Nice app altogether! Very much affordable... awesome price for sure. Thank you guys for the app ### 4/5 — Audio doesn't work anymore *2013-08-29, version 2.0* This app used to be awesome but the audio doesn't work anymore. It used to be a 5 star app. ### 2/5 — Words not suitable for 5-7 yr olds *2012-08-21, version 2.0* My 6 year old granddaughter didn't know what half of these words were (ex: rig, lop) Feel like I wasted my money. ### 4/5 — Not bad but some words very adult *2012-07-02* Interface works ok but seriously! Using words like Tax, Fax and Rig just confuses preschoolers. Luckily you can delete these words from the list. ### 3/5 — Little Reader 3 Letter Words *2012-02-09, version 2.0* This app has good content; However, it crashes to easily on the original iPad. ### 2/5 — May confuse a toddler in the UK *2012-01-25* Probably targeted at the US market. There are three letter words that are different in the UK. Some use but I'm looking out for a better toddler teach to read app. ### 2/5 — Not worth it *2012-01-22, version 1.5* I don't think this app I worth it. It is matching obscure 3 letter words with more obscure pictures and the game does not last long. ### 4/5 — Mom of hesitant 5 yr old. (not anymore!) *2012-01-06* Great app makes life a lot easier! Allows for child to work independently at an early age as well as encourages young readers. ### 4/5 — Why no capital letter? *2011-12-22* App is pretty good, but I don't understand why it (and so many other 'learn to read' apps) don't provide the words in uppercase. Much easier for kids to start with 'big' letters. It should allow the option to switch between upper and lowercase in the settings. ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2011-12-15, version 1.5* It basically teaches a kid how to randomly drag pictures into a box until it finds the correct box. Reactions not reading. ### 5/5 — Great app - great developer *2011-12-08* This app was solid to begin with, but they listen to their users and improved it further. They increased images sizes and fixed some bugs when adding custom images and audio. They also doubled the number of words and pictures. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Rock Ages type learning game *2019-03-17* This app is so out of date and monotonous! ### 1/5 — Doesn't work *2015-08-26, version 3.0* Only loads half screen. I want my money back ### 1/5 — Half a screen *2015-08-07, version 3.0* App only loads half of the screen. The right half does not appear, which is where the settings button is located. Means, app is not functional. Why put a nonfunctioning app on the he App Store? ### 1/5 — For below 3 *2014-05-24* This app is fairly useless for kids above the age of 3. It doesn't teach anything phonetically which is essential to learning at that age. My 3 year old was easily able to finish but when I wrote the same words on a board, she couldn't say it. The use of pictures puts the emphasis more on identifying than actual reading. The bobs scholastic books were much more useful and so was Kumon. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2013-10-21, version 2.0* This app doesn't work, it just crashes and is so frustrating to my child. ### 1/5 — How do I get the sound to work??? *2012-09-09, version 2.0* This app has NO volume, can't hear a thing, I record and I can't hear the playback! Frustrated!!! A waste of money!!!😡😡😡 ### 1/5 — I want to sue the App store *2012-05-25, version 2.0* I keep purchasing these sorry apps that crash every 2 seconds. This app crashes all day long. GARBAGE GARBAGE GARBAGE!!! Ipad2. I want my money back you THIEVES! ### 1/5 — Children don't relate to it *2012-05-16, version 2.0* For example the word "bid" with a picture of a court... Is Not for children ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2012-04-26* Doesn't teach a child to read, poor quality. Little spellers is much better. ### 1/5 — Won't upload photos! *2011-08-27, version 1.0* This app will NOT upload photos. I bought it specifically for that reason. Every time I try it kicks me out of the app. PLEASE FIX! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Helped My 5 year old! *2012-07-28* My five year old daughter hated sitting down to read when we told her to. Since getting this program and presenting it as a game she has gone from knowing the alphabet to reading words, within a month or so. Though she still has a ways to go before she is proficcient, she is definitely getting there. Thank you Little Reader. ### 5/5 — teacher~k *2012-07-23, version 2.0* love this app! Can't wait to use it with my class this year. ### 5/5 — Fabulous Ap *2012-03-01* Some of the Aps have too much wait time between questions but this Ap has excellent pacing! I like the ability to change and customize the settings to suit the needs of the children in my class. I would recommend this for Kindergarten and early first. ### 5/5 — Brenda *2012-02-27* Pictures a bit small, like being able to customize, over all a very good app! ### 5/5 — This is a great app *2012-02-22* I just downloaded this app. I was debating whether or not to get it and I am really glad I did. I used it for the first time with my students today. They like it. I like that it can be customized; my students like that they hear the words and the pictures used are actual photos not drawings. I recommend this app. ### 5/5 — Nice App *2012-02-09* What I am loving about this right now is that my 5 year old can drive it on his own and really get something out of it. We start out together but when it's time for me to clean the kitchen he stays engaged, working on his reading skills. If he gets stuck I can help but I can see and hear the progress from across the room. Soon we'll get the four letter version. ### 5/5 — Mommy *2012-02-09* Great app for busy little minds to learn on the go! Good updates in response to critical reviews! ### 5/5 — Great App *2012-01-31* I love the ability to customize this app. I took pictures of my first graders words from school then recorded my voice saying those words. So now he can practice his words on his own, absolutely love it! ### 5/5 — C.C. *2012-01-07* it is very good and excellent for my grandchild ### 5/5 — Great app! *2011-12-19* Fantastic simple concept for kids and fully customizable - perfect! --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
