It’s very easy to play not that hard

### 1/5 — No sound at all

*2024-12-13, version 1.0*

No sound at all. Please fix the problem.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2024-08-31*

App is great minus the fact it has no sound. The sound is important to the video, song, and book. Please fix sound!

### 1/5 — No sound

*2024-06-28*

Had the same issue with the others that were $4.99. The letter apps don’t have sound, but the other letterland apps so.

### 1/5 — Need a COMPLETE Letterland App!

*2023-11-22*

I love Letterland, but sadly these apps are incomplete & thus way overpriced for the content provided. Extremely disappointed. Would be willing to pay more for a complete & comprehensive Letterland app. The song section doesn’t even display the lyrics! 😥

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2023-05-31*

This app is a total rip off. You buy each individual set but it doesn’t allow you to purchase all of them and when you try to contact them they don’t reply.

### 2/5 — Sound doesn’t work

*2022-11-01*

I love Letterland as a teacher and was super excited to download the apps for my 3 year old, but unfortunately none of the audio plays. I have tried everything setting/volume control/etc.

### 5/5 — Excellent

*2020-11-18*

My kids love these Letterland apps. My eldest does them at school so it makes helping him at home more fun as he’s familiar with the characters. He’s also helping his younger brothers who’ll be using them when they start school.

### 3/5 — Can’t open videos.

*2020-09-20, version 1.0*

Can’t open videos.

### 1/5 — No sound

*2020-04-12, version 1.0*
