Sound stopped working.
I have been unable to get the sound to work in this app since month two of owning it. Without that it’s rather unhelpful.
Pretty useless
Entirely too many bugs, especially since we paid so much money for this. This does not create a good experience for new readers, or new teachers for that matter.
Way too much money to never work
This app is so temperamental. It doesn’t work properly. I spend lots of time fighting the letters to go in the correct order on the same line and then random letters will just appear 😩
Does not work
Downloaded this app, but it has white screen and nothing else.
Drop-down for lessons isn’t working
The drop down for picking the current lesson will not stay down on either device we have this on. So we can hardly pick the lesson we need if we aren’t fast enough- please fix this issue!
Updated: family sharing
Thank you so much for the explanation. I didn’t realize that is how app sharing works. I appreciate the walk through and was able to get it added with no issues!
I cannot get this app to allow family sharing with my children’s tablets for their school work. I’ve done all the things in our Apple family account and allowed sharing between all of our devices. However it asks me to pay the $19.99 on each of their tablets to allow them access to this app for their school work after I already purchased it on my phone.

hardly works
Hardly ever works. We have a hard time getting it to let us select the level and lesson which sucks when you are switching back and forth.
Works great
Works great after updating iOS. Prior to that it was broken
Broken- doesn’t work at all
Stuck on white screen. Tried reinstalling and on multiple devices
Okay
This app has been essential to teaching my kids their lessons with all about reading and spelling but lately the app has just been a plain white screen. I have to uninstall the app and redownload it each time we use it! It’s starting to get annoying!!
Doesn’t support family sharing

Missing lesson specific tiles
The app does not have the specific phonogram tiles. Example, Level 4 Lesson 30 should have the “ough” tile, and it does not. This is consistent throughout the app. For the price and the purpose of the app it should be perfect. They did a great job with the curriculum but this needs rework.
Response from developer
Please make sure you have the correct program selected in the dropdown menu. When I checked just now, All About Reading Level 4, Lesson 30 DOES have the ough tile. All About Spelling Level 4, Lesson 30 does not because it hasn't taught it yet for spelling (so, if you chose spelling by mistake, the tile wouldn't show up). If this resolves your issue, we'd love it if you could give us more stars! If it doesn't, please contact us for support: https://www.allaboutlearningpress.com/contact/ We'd love to help you have a 5-star experience! ~Merry :-)
No good
I just spent $20 on a app that apparently is not meant for my phone and that was not clearly stated before we don’t have a tablet to use this on so I just bought it on Apple and have nowhere else I can use it on
Only works 10% of the time
Thuis app is so frustrating. It almost never works. I just get a blank screen. Deleting and downloading again doesn’t help. Force closing doesn’t help. I waste so much time trying to get it to work
Misleading
I purchased this on my phone with the intention to share the app with my two kids who have family sharing , the app itself says it’s shareable with up to 6 family members, but after purchasing it won’t allow to share the purchase….very disappointing
So Disappointed
I bought this 2 weeks ago. We have used the app a few times. Today I could only put one letter in the work area and then it would freeze. I was really hoping for better, but it’s not something I have time to fool with. I have requested a refund. I am so disappointed because I really had high hopes.
More convenient than physical letter tiles
I’ve read the most recent reviews and I can see why others may be hesitant to purchase the app, but I have had 0 issues with it and I’ve been using it for 7-8 months now. I use it on an iPad (9th generation) - I can see all the letter tiles and the app has never frozen or given me any issues. I would definitely recommend it over the physical letter tiles - it’s just easier and quicker. Apple does offer a refund if you’re unhappy with it so it’s worth a shot before you purchase the physical tiles.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the app! ~Merry :-)
Total game changer
This app is amazing and has a total game changer! It’s so much easier than the letter tiles and my son loves using the app. It’s so convenient having the sounds able yo be read aloud and that all the vowel teams and new sounds appear automatically with each lesson.
Can’t believe I wasted $20
This app is terrible. I can’t even see all the letters on the screen. They are cut off. It looks like the app isn’t made correctly. Would love to “return” it and get a refund.
Disappointing
I really wish I did not pay for this app. It causes a lot of frustration as it let you switch out letters fluidly. I wish I had bought the physical letter tiles
