Also the voice stopped after paying for a subscription. ### 2/5 — Sound only occasionally works *2020-11-12* This app doesn’t work without the sound and it only rarely works. ### 2/5 — Liked at first *2020-07-30* We really liked this app at first. Then the sound stopped. Not sure how to fix on our end, but after many attempts to fix, we are purchasing a different app for our Kindergartener. Since we are distance learning at home we need to find something that works. ### 3/5 — Sound Works When it Wants To????? *2020-02-22* I paid for the full version. I don’t have a problem paying because we should not expect to get everything for free. However, I do expect to hear the sound EVERY TIME I use the app with my child (sound function on the app does not cooperate). I know others have complained of this issue. This would get 5 stars if I did not have this issue. It’s frustrating. ### 2/5 — Couldn’t hear anything. *2020-01-30* We played the first level and the app had no volume. Made sure phone was turned all the way up. Disappointed. ### 2/5 — Sound not working *2019-05-15* The mute button does nothing. I’d be happy to give it a higher rating because when the sound worked, it was fun. But today sound isn’t working. ### 2/5 — Not a Free app. *2018-05-24* Here is what my 5 year old said: mommy, the lady has funny voice. My comments are yes, she does. It’s not pleasant to the ear automated voice who is leading the kids through the game. Plus, only the first level is unlocked, the rest you have to pay. The learning concept was exciting, but not pleasant because of the voice. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — This app is a scam *2023-02-04* I have bought this app twice and it has kick me out this is a scam I want my money back I want all six of my dollars back ### 1/5 — Grand mama *2019-09-28* "NO SOUND", purchased the full $2.99 set. Re loaded with same issue. The contact service page no longer available when trying to contact company to fix or refund monies. Sadly just out money and want to warn other not to waste time down loading this app. ### 1/5 — Not recommended. *2019-08-10* I purchased the full version when I noticed my child was learning her sight words and actually enjoyed it. The difference with my purchase is the levels continue to be locked. My card went through not so it’s not a problem there. ### 1/5 — Sound *2018-08-26, version 2.02* No sound. ### 1/5 — No sound *2018-05-30, version 2.02* No sound. Can’t fine volume in settings. ### 1/5 — There is no sound *2018-01-15* I’m sure this would be a fun game if it made any sound at all. ### 1/5 — No sound? *2017-02-19, version 2.02* Just downloaded app and there is no sound. Is there a way to fix this problem? ### 1/5 — Terrible completely unintuitive *2016-09-10, version 2.02* I can't figure out how to use this app and I am smarter than a kindergartener ### 2/5 — Ok I guess *2026-07-03* I guess that’s a good app and the only problem is it makes you pay to have all of the things ### 2/5 — Paid for access to all levels, only gave me access one day *2022-02-22* My daughter played free level one and mastered those words rather quickly. We love the app. So we decided to buy the full version for 2.99. She played on level two last night, we loved it, however this morning access to all the other levels is locked again and it wants us to buy the full version??? Hoping the 2.99 wasn’t what they charge each time we want to go beyond the free level one????? ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great app! *2021-03-15* Been using this app with my daycare kids for years. Totally worth the purchase. The repetitive use of the words made memorization of the words very easy. It put them at a huge advantage when it was time for kindergarten. Highly recommend it! ### 5/5 — Happy Mom! *2018-11-05* I downloaded the free app, once I noticed that you only have access to the “1st level” I opted to pay for the full version. It was totally worth the $2.99. My 5 year old went from not being able to read full sentences to being able to continually read full sentence in just 3 weeks!!! I couldn’t be happier! It really helped him SO MUCH! I recommend only letting your child play for 15-20 minute intervals.... my son started to get bored after that. It’s gets a little redundant. Regardless this app still gets my 5 star rating! Thank you creators! ### 5/5 — For the grandkids *2016-08-14* To get ready for back to school. Now the grandchildren can enter their names to track the words they have already learned ### 5/5 — Kindergarten *2016-05-09* Very good structured learning of words. Not flashy or glitzy, a learning program / not a game. Good pace for a 6 year old. Slow and repetitive, but in a good way. ### 5/5 — Good update *2016-05-08* Both of our kids can learn at their own pace with the new update ### 5/5 — Very helpful *2016-05-08* Learning app ### 5/5 — Helpful practice *2015-06-30, version 1.0* For early readers ### 5/5 — Kindergarten *2015-06-29, version 1.0* Good intro vocabulary builder ### 4/5 — Update *2016-05-12* Thanks for the update. It is better now! ### 4/5 — Free *2016-05-10* Limited to level one but otherwise great --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
