User reviews

Helpful for esl

But only on Apple. All students have Samsung.

Could be great

Seemed like a great idea but the pronunciation is clearly non-native the β€œa” was slight proof but the β€œi” was more obvious proof. Sounds like typical non-native β€œee” but shortened. I’ve trained over a hundred native and non native trainers, I’m sure

It's broken

This app crashes as it opens. It is totally useless.

Didn't like

Sounds in isolation did not match their production at word level.

I also didn't like that the individual sounds were produced with the schwa after it - this makes it confusing for children as they tend to put the schwa in the word. For example- sound "t" produced in isolation "tuh". Put in word "tap" becomes "tuh-ap". Sounds in isolation should be strictly the sound -no schwa.

I like the idea and activities.

G'day and こんにけは!

Wow. This is the first English phonics and latin-alphabet (a-z) app, of the dozen or so I've tried, to consistently use the standard handwritten lower-case 'a' (script a, i.e. like an 'o' with a vertical bar on the right-hand-side) rather than the typographic ("two-storey") version thereof in the user-interface. It's also the first of those that I've tried, to use multiple (I've counted at least four) speakers rather than the usual single voice. Finally, non-American-English AND with a bit of bonus Aussie twang. Cultural diversity, what's the world coming to?

Nice work, and thanks... great app. :)
