What's New in Lexy

4.1.1

November 3, 2026

Lexy 4.1.1 — Lexy Can Hear You Again Reading Aloud Works Again Since 4.1, some iPhones and iPads stopped listening when you read aloud. There was no message, just silence. It happened when the device was set to a different kind of English or French from the one chosen in Lexy. Lexy now uses the version of your language that your device already has, so reading aloud works again. When Lexy Can't Listen, It Says So If your device can't hear you right now, for example because it's offline, Lexy tells you. You can skip that one and keep going. Your Voice Stays on Your Device Lexy listens on your device whenever it can. Only if your device has no speech model for your language may Apple's speech recognition help, just to turn your reading into text. Thank you for reading with us.

Very disappointing

This app is very buggy and just doesn’t make sense at all. Some of the sentence structures are very odd. I entered my daughter’s info but it still says my name as the student. We only did the calibration assessment and yet it says we’re on level 6??? Most disappointing is that it’s another bait and switch app. If you don’t pay, it’s useless. We couldn’t do anything beyond the calibration unless we wait until tomorrow… didn’t even get to try it out.

Response from developer

Hey Stephanie, thanks for your feedback - if you'd like the app for free, please reach out to me directly at kevin@round-tower.ie. We'd love to hear more about the bugs you've faced, so we can get those resolved. Lexy is designed to be educational, and improve students phonics - not to disappoint or bait and switch. Please reach out and we'll get this fixed, Kev.

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
