This is exactly what I was looking for. I wish they would add 3 lists: • ABCs (capitals) • abcs (lowercase) • phonetic alphabet (letters saying their sounds) ### 4/5 — Great App But Needs a Few Things *2023-10-27* My son and I use this app a great deal with his sight words. It’s a great free app. The only reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5 is some missing basic words and no ability to add words (even without the audio would be nice). The color Orange is noticeably missing from the app. So far that’s the only one I’ve noticed lacking, but he is pre-K so I’m sure there may be more. ### 4/5 — Great but.. *2022-08-25, version 5.0.1* This app has helped so much when we are on the road or to just have big “flash cards” for my kid to read. Only change to make this 5 stars would be for us to be able to add sight words of our own! ### 4/5 — Good basic app *2022-01-12, version 5.0.1* This is almost perfect for what I’m looking for. I would like to be able to change the font either randomly or for entire sets, that way kids can get used to looking at words in different context. ### 3/5 — Please add color! *2021-03-09, version 4.2.9* Looks like a great app in practice but my Kindergarten needs a little more interest when learning ### 3/5 — Could be better *2020-10-15, version 4.2.3* Search function to find words quicker and add function to add flash cards. ### 5/5 — Loved it! *2020-08-18, version 4.1.4* I just wish I could add my own words too. ### 5/5 — My son loves this app! *2020-08-01, version 4.1.2* He’s learning and being encouraged by his own progress along the way as he begins to recognize the words. He loves to “play” this word app and he’s learning at the same time! I love it too! ### 4/5 — Good app *2020-03-25, version 3.1.1* Please add provision to create a list with our own words which the kid need special attention to. That would be a great feature ### 5/5 — Just right *2020-01-22, version 3.1.1* I just wanted sight word flash cards. I’m teaching my kids to read, so I don’t need an interactive, overly flashy reading app. Just flash cards we can go through together. ### 3/5 — Frustrating, but could be great *2019-11-12, version 3.1.1* I can see this being a great app except for one major issue. I can’t just search for a word to flag. The only option is to swipe through every word in the app one at a time. If you go to home after swiping through 150 words and go back in it starts back at the beginning. NO THANKS!! ### 3/5 — Good app but could use some improvement *2019-10-01, version 3.1.1* This app is very helpful and easy to use, however I agree with other reviewers that a search function to add words to a flagged list would be a huge timesaver for parents. Also the ability to add additional words would be fantastic as not all of the words needed were included. ### 4/5 — Larger Print *2019-09-19, version 3.1.1* This is a great app. My daughter has learned this words, it is visually impaired. The ability to make larger print would be great. Please work on this for the next update. Thanks ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No words *2021-01-04, version 4.2.3* It only voiced the words and the cards were white-blank. ### 1/5 — No sight for the sight words *2020-12-18, version 4.2.3* I was trying to go over these with my child, but the cards are completely blank. Must be a glitch. ### 1/5 — I wish I could add my own words *2020-09-10, version 4.2.2* Gosh it had so much potential ### 1/5 — Blank squares after update *2020-08-26, version 4.1.4* Latest update killed this app. It shows white rectangles on a black background, no words at all. ### 1/5 — Blank cards *2020-07-31, version 4.1.2* There aren’t any words on the cards. ### 1/5 — Mistake in version 3.1.1 *2017-09-28, version 3.1.1* The word “an” is pronounced as “in”. Please fix? ### 1/5 — Definitely does NOT keep a childs interest *2010-05-15, version 0* The app does not offer a fun way to learn these words. It's like flashcards. You're better off making the flashcards for your kid and reading it aloud because that's all this app does. My child did not find this interesting or fun at all and he loves educational apps. My suggestion to the makers is to make this app less like flashcards and more interesting and fun to learn. That's what educational apps are supposed to be afterall. This app does not make learning fun or interesting at all. ### 2/5 — Great app but...... *2020-02-10, version 3.1.1* I want to flag my grandsons words but there is no search feature on the all words category. So to set up the 10 words you have to go through every word to find the words to flag. It is way to time consuming. I will be looking for a different app but keeping my eye on this for an update. ### 2/5 — Needs some updates *2019-12-06, version 3.1.1* I really want to give this app a five star review and if they ever do some updates to it I might come back and change my review. This is a great app, the problem I have with it is that it doesn’t have a lot of basic words that are learned and there isn’t anyway to add them in. My son loves it because I can flag his words for the week and he can practice in the app whenever he wants. But like this week he has a color that isn’t listed in any of the lists. This isn’t the first color that is missing from the list either. Please make an update and add something that we can add the words that are missing from the lists. ### 2/5 — I love this app but... *2019-09-14, version 3.1.1* There should be a list of all the words in the settings where you could quickly scroll through them and flag the ones you want. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Excellent App to teach Dolch and Flag words to toddlers *2024-07-24* Awesome app and kudos to the developers of this app for bringing this app with fun intuitive flash card based way of learning. ### 5/5 — Worked for my child! He reads more than he’s on iPad now! *2023-08-25* I used this on my son years ago and he was reading at 3rd grade before kindergarten. Now he reads every night before bed and loves it. Thank you so much for this amazing app, you’ve have really changed my son’s life. ### 5/5 — I’m not sure if you are *2023-06-21* I have a few minutes back in ### 5/5 — I’m not going to be *2023-06-21* I have a few minutes back in my ### 5/5 — Wonderful tool! *2023-03-07* This app is super easy to use, ad free, and is so useful. My son is in the first grade and we practice sight words daily using this app exclusively and it makes things so much easier than having to keep track (and make) paper flash cards. He is so proud when he recalls flagged words and loves to see his flagged list shrink 😊 ### 5/5 — Simple and User Friendly *2022-12-05, version 5.0.1* This is perfect for on the go practicing. It’s easy to use, some ability to customize with flagging. So if I’m working on a set with my child, any words he’s having difficulty with, I can flag as we go and focus on them at times we need to just practice those words in isolation. Thank you! ### 5/5 — My baby loves it *2022-10-03, version 5.0.1* It’s awesome and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Thanks! *2022-03-27, version 5.0.1* This is a very comprehensive list of sight words. Thank you for making it user friendly and FREE! Amazing! ### 5/5 — Taught my child to read *2021-06-28, version 4.2.9* I went from pre k to third grade within a few months when he was 4 and now in kindergarten he’s reading at a 4th grade level and he reads books to me every night instead of me reading to him. This app is so good I feel bad for getting it for free. ### 5/5 — Really Good *2021-05-21, version 4.2.9* my 2 year old girl was able to say nearly all words and it app made it simple. it just worked perfectly and she loved saying the words. I can see you can flag words that are hard to say so she can practice those exact words. i searched the developer for more apps but they only make this. i hope they make more. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
