Wish it had both. Other than that amazing **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! I'll share this with our team. ~Merry :-) ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2026-01-21* Has helped a lot in our homeschooling. **Developer response:** Thanks for your review! ~Merry :-) ### 3/5 — It’s ok but doesn’t have Q *2026-01-19* The app is nice I use it while teaching my 3 year old his letter sounds, the only bad thing is the Q is Qu not just Q, there’s no option to change it. Other than that we live it. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! In English words, q and u are always a team, so we don’t have a tile with just q on it. As your student grows, you may come across rare exceptions (like the country name for Qatar, or a few foreign-influenced words, but these are advanced examples. We want little ones to be very familiar with seeing q and u together, and to understand that these two letters work together when making the /kw/ sound. ~Merry :-) ### 5/5 — Great so *2025-09-25, version 1.3.2* Love it! ### 1/5 — Terrible *2025-09-23* Is this a joke? There is only one page showing letters in this app and nothing more. Respect the user a little bit. **Developer response:** I'm sorry you were disappointed! This free app is for beginning learners working on just the first sounds of the alphabet, and is meant to be used alongside our Pre-Reading curriculum. ### 5/5 — Awesome/Easy App *2025-09-16* I’m currently teaching my son letter sounds and realized I don’t know all the letter sounds! Easy to use and works great. Thank you! **Developer response:** You're welcome! When you and your student are ready to start learning multiple sounds, check out our other free app, https://www.allaboutlearningpress.com/phonogram-sounds-app/. Have fun teaching your little one! ### 1/5 — Temu *2025-08-06, version 1.3.2* Horrible app ### 3/5 — It needs more *2024-10-27* My little cousin is almost 13 and she can’t read very well at all. I’d give this five stars if it had what ch and ck and sh make **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! This one is mainly for beginning learners. We have another app that has those sounds and more--check out our free Phonogram Sounds app. https://www.allaboutlearningpress.com/phonogram-sounds-app/. That might be more helpful for your cousin. ~Merry :-) ### 5/5 — my 5yo is ALL About this app !! *2024-10-07* I wish they had more free options :) **Developer response:** So glad your 5-yo loves this app! Here's another free one when your child is ready to learn multiple sounds: https://www.allaboutlearningpress.com/phonogram-sounds-app/. Enjoy! ~Merry :-) ### 2/5 — Makes wrong phoneme sounds *2024-08-27* Coming from a dyslexia specialist, not all sounds on this app are being pronounced correctly. For example, this app is pronouncing the vowel sound /uh/ on the end of the /b/ sound making it sound like /b-uh/. This is very wrong. Several are like this. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! It doesn't sound like /b-uh/ on my speakers--it sounds like just the /b/ sound. However, I know that some sounds are really difficult to capture on audio without a little bit of a vowel sound, and that may be what you are hearing. Some sounds were recorded up to 100 times, with the professional voice talent very patiently trying different tones and lengths of each sound. When the sounds were chopped off too soon, they were unintelligible. This app is a companion to our Pre-Reading program. We recommend teaching sounds in person whenever possible, and using the app as a review tool as needed. Thanks for trying the app! ~Merry :-) ## Frequently asked questions about Letter Sounds A to Z ### What does the Letter Sounds A to Z app do?
