Wish it had both. Other than that amazing **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! I'll share this with our team. ~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 :-) ### 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 :-) ### 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 :-) ### 5/5 — Great *2023-08-16* Helps you with the basic sounds of each letter ### 2/5 — Wrong sounds for y, qu, w *2022-01-23, version 1.3.0* The letters y, w, and qu do not use “uh” after them. We don’t say wUHe for we or wUHent for went. We don’t say UH in quack, or in yes. These errors should be an easy fix. Educators should “first do no harm”. ### 5/5 — very helpful *2021-04-08* We use this app with the pre reading curriculum. It is very helpful for our son to hear the proper pronunciation of each letter sound. **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! I'm glad it's helping your son. ~Merry :-) ### 5/5 — Works great now! *2021-04-08* When I first got the app it didn’t work, but it appears that they have updated their app and now it works great! I have been using it with my 3 preschoolers. Thanks! **Developer response:** Thanks for your feedback! I'm glad it's working now for you and your preschoolers. Have fun teaching your little ones! ~Merry :-) ### 5/5 — Sound works now *2021-04-07* I had left a review back when the sound was not working on my iPhone or IPad but it has since been fixed. Not sure how to update the original post but great app! **Developer response:** I'm so glad it's working for you now. Thanks for updating your review! ~Merry :-) ### 5/5 — Sound is Fixed! *2021-04-07* Sound wasn’t working, but they fixed it! Hooray! **Developer response:** I'm so glad it's working properly now. Have fun teaching your kids! ~Merry :-) ### 5/5 — In response to D/g *2021-03-20* Your review made me wonder if you had the same issue as I have had before. When using a Smart Board, the sounds would sometimes be off by a line, so I would have to “press” a button above or below to get the sound I wanted. In my case, it was not an app issue, but a calibration issue (Smart Board setting). Hopefully your problem has been resolved, but if not, maybe that is a possibility. ### 4/5 — Sound... *2021-01-05, version 1.3.0* is working now ### 5/5 — The app is working now *2020-12-22* I reached out to their customer service because the app wasn’t making any sound. Merry who assisted me with the issue provided me great customer service, and she emailed me to tell me that the issue has been resolved. The app is working the way it should now. Thank you, Merry for helping me! **Developer response:** Thanks, glad we could help! ### 5/5 — Sound and letters d and g work *2020-12-19* I read previous reviews before downloading this but despite the negative feedback I decided to download myself. Worked perfectly. And for those who might say this is an old review it’s December 2020. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Temu *2025-08-06, version 1.3.2* Horrible app ### 1/5 — No sound *2020-12-22, version 1.2.7* Just like everyone else I am not hearing any sounds. Super frustrating.. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t not work *2020-12-20, version 1.2.7* Does not work - no sounds. ### 1/5 — Don’t download unless it gets fixed *2020-12-13* No sound doesn’t work ### 1/5 — No sound *2020-11-23, version 1.2.7* I can’t get the app to make any sound when I click on a letter tile. Very disappointed ### 1/5 — Needs update. No sound *2020-11-20* No sounds when clicking letters. ### 1/5 — No sound *2020-11-17* Turned the volume way up but no sounds when I click on the letters ### 1/5 — Sound doesn’t work *2020-11-09, version 1.2.7* The app doesn’t work. I can’t hear anything when I push on a letter. ### 1/5 — No sound *2020-11-08, version 1.2.7* All my other apps have sound but no sound on this app. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing App *2026-01-21* Has helped a lot in our homeschooling. **Developer response:** Thanks for your review! ~Merry :-) ### 5/5 — Great so *2025-09-25, version 1.3.2* Love it! ### 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! ### 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 :-) ### 5/5 — Really helpful! *2024-05-15* Thumbs up! ### 5/5 — Just what I needed *2024-02-03* English is my second language and this helps me a lot with sounds when teaching my daughter **Developer response:** That's great! So glad it helps you! ~Merry :-) ### 5/5 — Thank you! *2024-02-01* Thank you!!!!!! I’ve been looking for something exactly like this for a long time. God bless you for making it and providing it for free. This app has given me so much hope to be able to teach my students with learning disabilities learn to read by touching the sounds they see in the word and blending them together. I teach high school English Language Learners and a few of them are really struggling. This gives them independence to be able to practice on their own! I would love it if there was a version that had blends, digraphs, and vowel teams too! **Developer response:** You're welcome, Nicole, and good news--there is! Check out our free phonogram sounds app which includes the multiple sounds for all the basic phonograms (including digraphs and vowel teams). Blends are simply two or three consonants next to each other that all retain their normal, individual sounds (like the s-t in fast or the p-l in plan), so they can still sound those out! Here's a link to the Phonogram Sounds app: https://www.allaboutlearningpress.com/phonogram-sounds-app/. Enjoy! ~Merry :-) ### 5/5 — Perfect for teaching beginning sounds *2023-11-17* Great app! **Developer response:** So glad you enjoy it! ### 5/5 — very helpful *2023-10-01, version 1.3.2* great tool ### 5/5 — A-z letter sounds app *2023-09-12* Wonderful aid. To ensure the “teacher” is modeling the correct sound. Easy to use, with my phone, I can access it on the go. Truly a homeschooler’s friend! **Developer response:** Thanks! Have fun teaching your little one! ~Merry :-) --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
