Scam
This app is a scam. The sound doesn’t work no matter what you do. Save your money
Disappointed
I am a reading teacher and thought this might be good to use with some students.
I opened up the first free game to try it out. The letter B is pronounced /bu/ instead of a clipped b sound.Children that learn /bu/ as the sound of b often add a u when spelling.
I went onto the second free game. It asked me to spell yam then it added a blank in front of the word yam and asked me to spell plam. P was not even a choice of letters. Because there was not a correct way to spell this nonsense word the game was stuck at that point.
I also read in other reviews that there are other sounds that are not pronounced correctly.
Based on the sampling I had and what other reviewers say, this would not be good for a child who is struggling with reading it; would only add to the confusion. Young children who are just learning would learn things incorrectly.

No Sound
Unfortunately there is no sound, which is really not helpful in a “making words” app. My children don’t know what word specifically they want him/her to write.
No nonsense accessible method of helping kids see chunks in words.

Never loaded; won't delete
This app just sits on my screen and says waiting. It has been this way for months. I tried to delete it, but it won't even let me do that. It's very disappointing. It looks like a good resource, but it doesn't do much good if I can't get it on the iPad. 😕
