### 2/5 — Letters are too small

*2020-09-09*

The letters that I drag to the middle is too small to read. I would prefer  that the letters chosen and dragged to be enlarged.

### 1/5 — Stay away

*2020-06-16*

Spending 99p of my Childs inheritance, I wanted to invest in his education by buying this app.

What a disappointment, all these apps are really bad. 
No sound, no imagination and to select the letters you needs needle like fingers and the fine motor skills of an ant to make it work.

If only someone could recreate the books into an app that inspired learning.

This app is poor 

:(

### 1/5 — No sound

*2019-10-24*

Bought it for my little girl. Previous review stated no sound, but figured as it was 5 years ago, this would now be fixed. Still no sound. Don’t waste your money or time.

### 1/5 — Not sound

*2019-07-01*

I want my money back , I got 3 apps for Letterland but they don’t work .

### 5/5 — Полезная игрушка

*2017-06-25*

Составлять слова из букв-пиктограмм очень нравится ребёнку 6 лет.

### 1/5 — No sound.

*2016-09-27*

I got this app to help supplement my child's curriculum. What appealed to me was we could explore making words along with the spelling lists. We can do that but there is NO SOUND. My issue is don't say it can make sound when it CANNOT. False advertising. I even deleted and reinstalled.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2015-05-30*

This is a great multi purpose app. I use it to teach spelling, segmenting words and phonemes. I was a little confused at first,because I thought the app word say the words once it's put together but what you hear are the individual phonemes that make up the words. Ex: night when spelled n-igh-t, gives the 3 sounds in the word. Great for words that have a long vowel and a silent e ex: l-i-k-e use mr.i and magic E and u have the word sound out. Perfect for my prince.

### 2/5 — Does not create "words"

*2015-04-14*

This app allows you to push letter sounds around but does not speak the words spelled.

### 1/5 — Average

*2015-02-16*

Would like it to say the word that was made

### 1/5 — Letterland Word Builder

*2014-09-08*

I can't get any sound in this app. 

Is this a bug or a problem with my settings?
