### 4/5 — Hope it can be fixed.

*2023-01-31*

Edited- sound issue is fixed and app developer did reach out with pointers. Not 5 star yet as my 5yo just isn’t too interested in the app. Will keep trying. 

So far disappointed. Looking for a great Spanish app. Bought this yesterday because of the good reviews, but there is no sound. I tried to remove the app and reinstall and now it’s asking me to buy it again. So frustrated trying to find a good kids Spanish app.

### 5/5 — Helps in learning

*2022-10-17*

My 6 year old daughter is in first grade in a dual immersion program. She fell behind in kindergarten. I’ve been trying to find and affordable app that really helps in the concepts needed for reading. This one progressively goes from letter sounds to syllables. The repetition and pictures have her saying the words without having to click on them and this is after one week!  I love it and she loves using it!
