Could be an excellent app but....

I thought finally I had found the app I was looking for. The short vowel sections are wonderful. But when you move on to long vowel patterns or digraphs such as OO, ay, etc. the sounds are not correct.Those digraph sounds should go together on one letter tile because they make one sound.The game still makes short vowel sounds for every Vowel .Such a disappointment.

Very disappointed!

I purchased this game for my daughters and for my first grade classroom. Sadly, there is NO VOICE! To make the words, the children have to GUESS what word to make. I wish the app worked like the video demo
