Love it

Perfect for young ones. Teaches sounds instead of just letters, great for starting to read!

How good this learning game is.

it is so good for your kids to get smarter.

No sound

Free version is great. This version has no sound on older ipad

It only takes a little editing to make Abby the Monkey terrifying

If you have the game, don’t show yours kids how to edit photos+screenshots

other than that it’s okay

Error

Hi there, there’s an error with tracking the letter m. I bought full version to see if that corrected it but still no successes. Can’t continue game as this page won’t continue

Response from developer

I am sorry for the issues. It should work fine. Please contact our technical support and let us know what device and iOS version you use. We will look at it.

Paid for full

We paid the price for full and I received no more than we previously had only 4 letters. Don’t purchase this because you get nothing for your money

Response from developer

Do you use parental control on your device? Sometimes, this error can happen when it is switched on. You can try to restore the purchase. Go to the Parents section in the app (or Settings) and tap on the Restore button. Please contact our technical support for more help.

Doesn’t work even though I purchased full version

I have selected the option to unlock all levels, however the game will only work for the letters s,m,a and t. Total rip off. Very disappointed.

Response from developer

It is possible that you still run the free version, not the full version which you purchased (they have similar icons). Please make sure that the full version (which you purchased) is installed on your device. Please also note, that the game is structured in such a way that you can access new levels after finishing previous levels -- for example, finish the first level to unlock the second; finish the second level to unlock the third level etc. It is also possible to run any level without finishing the previous one. There should be "Unlock All Level" option at the bottom left corner. Please contact us if you need more help.

Great for learning

My 4 year old daughter is learning words quickly and having fun. Thanks.

How many times do you have to buy??

I already bought this but all of a sudden it asks if I want to unlock the full version. What's up with that? It would be nice if the free & purchased apps had totally different icons. The grand kids love the app, but are opening the wrong one at times.

Response from developer

It looks that you run the free version, not the full version which you purchased (they have similar icons).

Wish it just upgraded the trial version

This app would be great if it just updated from the trial app. I bought the full version and we lost all our stickers:(

Great customer support

22Learn and Phonics Island has great customer support. I emailed through their website about a glitch in Phonics Island. I got a response the same day (a weekend), and they helped troubleshoot the issue for me. I greatly appreciate the customer service.

Unicorn story?

How do reach the page with the unicorns (as seen in screen shot when viewing app details)? My daughter has completed every level looking for it but can't find it?

Excellent learning app and customer service

This app is great for my daughter! I have 4 of there apps and she loves them all, all great learning apps. I had an issue with downloading my purchased apps onto a new iPad and I contacted the company. Bohumil contacted me right back and helped me fix and resolve the issue immediately. Thank you Bohumil for your help!

Not unlocking all levels

I purchased this app because my son was tracing and liked it. But after full purchase still we are getting only trial version level

Response from developer

There are 2 possible reasons: 1. You still run the free version, it has a similar icon. 2. Please note that the game is structured in such a way that you can access new levels only after finishing previous levels -- for example, finish the first level to unlock the second; finish the second level to unlock the third level etc. Important: The current version allows to run any level without finishing the previous one (there is "unlock all levels button at the main menu").

Cannot continue levels?????

Seriously? This cannot be paused or continued at a level other than ONE??? There is the need to restart EVERY time??

Almost perfect.

This is a great little game and really educational. My only criticism is that once you have reached a level then you should be able to access it as a when without having to start from the beginning. My son sometimes gets a little bored of having to repeat the same levels to get to new ones. Some more bubble pops would be good too.

ISO 11 update request

Pls update this app, my son loves this app it's a great learning tool. I appreciate the developer response which explained that the game has levels and the child has to finish one before moving on to the next. I look forward to the updated version that allows the child to select any level without finishing the previous, this was a request from my son. Thank you

Response from developer

Please note that the game is structured in such a way that you can access new levels only after finishing previous levels -- for example, finish the first level to unlock the second; finish the second level to unlock the third level etc. There will be an updated version soon, which will allow to run any level without finishing the previous one.

Frustrated

This app always goes back to level one even after passing the level, if the app gets minimized (not closed) it still goes back. My son loves the app, but now he's only good at it cause he does the same 4 letters all the time. I want so badly to use the other levels freely.

Not happy

I brought the full game and it won't let you play the whole game ripped off want my money back!!!!!!!!

Response from developer

Don't worry, you were not ripped off. There should be no problem with the full version. Please note that the game is structured in such a way that you can access new levels only after finishing previous levels -- for example, finish the first level to unlock the second; finish the second level to unlock the third level etc. There will be an updated version soon, which will allow to run any level without finishing the previous one. Please contact our technical support if you still have any issues.
