So far good

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.

Response from developer

Thank you — and thank you especially for the note about time. You were right. When a child sounds a word out — "c… a… t" — the gaps between the sounds were long enough that the app decided they had finished, and stopped listening mid-word. That was our mistake, and in a reading app for dyslexic learners it is exactly the wrong place to be impatient. We have fixed it — word practice will wait considerably longer before it stops — and it is in the next update. 4.0 is also a large stability release, so the glitches should be much rarer. If anything else trips you up, kevin@round-tower.ie reaches me directly. Kevin, Round Tower

WORKS GREAT

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

Response from developer

Thank you — that is lovely to hear. "Easy to use" is the part we work hardest at, so it is a good day when someone says it back to us. If your child ever hits something that is not easy, kevin@round-tower.ie comes straight to me. Kevin, Round Tower

Cant hear her speak

My child is getting annoyed in an already frustrated

Response from developer

Coming back to this with an actual answer, rather than another apology. We found the cause. Lexy's voice could stall or go silent because of the way the app started and stopped listening — it was interrupting itself. That is fixed, together with the audio problems that showed up when headphones were connected mid-session. Version 4.0 carries all of it. If your child still cannot hear her, please write to me at kevin@round-tower.ie and I will sort it personally. Thank you for your patience — and I am sorry it was frustrating for your child, which is the opposite of the point. Kevin, Round Tower

Cannot sign up

We would love to try this app out but we cannot sign up. We have filled out of the spots and it will not give us the button to sign in.

Response from developer

Coming back with a fix rather than another apology. You were stuck on a sign-up form that would not let you finish, and you were not alone. The whole sign-up flow has since been rebuilt — it is far shorter now, and the button no longer waits on something invisible before it will let you through. Version 4.0 has it. If you would still like to try Lexy and anything gets in your way, write to me directly at kevin@round-tower.ie. Sorry it turned you away the first time. Kevin, Round Tower

3D objects

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

Response from developer

Hey there! Thanks for flagging this issue - we're on the case! Please stay tuned for updates 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 :)

Not ready yet

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.

Love the idea and just need to try it…

Awesome!

Response from developer

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

Horrible

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.

Response from developer

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

Great app!

I recently started using this app with 3 of my young therapy patients. At first, I wasn't sure if it was helpful enough to continue using. However, the recent updates have pushed me over the edge...I really like using this! I especially like the new option to choose the level of difficulty, as each patient requires a different level. I am super excited to see what updates the developers have in store for us. I wholeheartedly recommend this app!

app anglais

phonetique en anglais ne fonctionne pas en francais

Upside down letters

Good app except for the fact that several of the letters are upside down. For an app that’s meant to help kids with phonics and reading, having upside down e’s and r’s is ridiculous!

Response from developer

Hey there and thanks so much for your review! The "upside down" letters are part of the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA), and only used to differentiate phonics in the app! All the words users read & spell are taken directly from the English dictionary! Hope this helps, and if you'd like to know more, please email me at kev@dyslexia.ai! Update: After listening to your feedback, we've updated the app to communicate our phonics better! We'd love to hear what you think, and thanks again for your feedback! - Kev

Great app for older children

Just started using the app. Daughter is about to start year 7 (age 11). This app is great as it’s the only thing I’ve found that isn’t aimed at just younger children and you can do the short tests to see what level you should be playing the games/tests at. So she isn’t losing interest. Really great app. So glad I found it.

Response from developer

Hey there! We offer 3 free sessions per day, and unlimited for premium users! Please email use at hello@dyslexia.ai, and we can help you further! - Kev

Amazing app!!!

I bought the app sceptical, but it’s a fantastically built app. The customer service is great, I never like to pay for apps but I promise it is worth it. Recommend!!!

Dyslexia ai

This app is very random and encourages guessing. There is a mixture of sight words and words that follow the rules. It is very clear that this app does not follow the science of reading. I am a Wilson Dyslexia Practitioner as well as Orton-Gillingham Classroom certified.

Response from developer

Hey there, thanks for your review and feedback. As a practitioner, we'd love to chat to you more on how to improve the app. It's designed as a tool to aid in improving literacy in a fun & engaging way, and we're always trying to improve it's efficacy. You can mail me at hello@dyslexia.ai. We look forward to hearing from you - Kevin Murphy, founder of Dyslexia.ai.

Dyslexia

It’s really good for my child and it helps us keep spelling and stuff like that so this is why I give it a five out of five and it’s really good for a kid and all is really like cheap and stuff or you can get for free or if you wanna pay you can you just have to put in your email and stuff and then you have to let your children choose the picture that comes with the app but it’s really good and then once she did that then you like your child will start getting good and ever with dyslexia because my child has that my daughter so yeah it’s really good
