### 4/5 — So far good

*2026-06-16*

Sometimes on the IPhone app the app glitches, otherwise we love the interface, the microphone works really well for the reading portion, though it could give a bit more time for sounding out a word.

### 5/5 — WORKS GREAT

### 5/5 — WORKS GREAT

*2026-03-26*

I really like his app, easy to use and my child like it so far.

### 1/5 — Bad app

*2026-02-28, version 3.3*

So I got Lexi in my computer cause i have bad spelling it didn’t always work but it was fine but ever since they added ai leaner to it it hardly worked anymore it constantly says bad WiFi when the WiFi is fine and displays error messages a lot of times I don’t know if it’s my computer but still I would not recommend earthier it’s my computer or it’s the app

### 1/5 — Cant hear her speak

### 2/5 — Cannot sign up

*2026-01-09*

### 2/5 — 3D objects

*2025-11-19*

3D rewards freeze the screen and everything is white so we can’t see the reward given.

Edit: Thanks so much for your feedback, we're tried out best to resolve this in version 3.2! Please update and let us know if it's worked! Thanks a million, and Happy Holidays - Kev :)

### 3/5 — Not ready yet

*2025-10-27*

This app has the potential to capture a very stagnant market. A lot of the digital apps for dyslexia specific reading instruction are outdated and can’t hold a kid’s attention.  My son liked this app but the Calibration didn’t want to end. We ended it after 30 minutes. Then the app crashed.  Also, I’m not sure where the games come in.  Like I said, good ideas. Still pretty raw and constantly crashes when navigating the app.

**Developer response:** Hey there! Thanks so much for your review and feedback - really sorry you had an issue with the calibration. We're already working on a fix, along with a few others. Please feel free to reach out by email so we can help further. Edit: Thanks so much for your feedback, we're tried our best to resolve this in version 3.2! Please update and let us know if it's worked! Thanks a million, and Happy Holidays - Kev :)

### 4/5 — Love the idea and just need to try it…

*2025-10-25*

Awesome!

**Developer response:** Hey thanks so much for the amazing review! Please let use know if you need any help! Kev

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2025-09-07*

I got app and went to check see if I like and they charged my account how or why I have no clue!! Scam and hacked my phone.

**Developer response:** Hey Mellissa, sorry for the misunderstanding here. It looks like your trail converted to a full yearly subscription. We're working with you via email to get this resolved. Thanks for your patience, and apologies again - Kev
