### 1/5 — Don’t get

*2019-09-27, version 1.6.6*

We had this game the free one and upgraded for £2.99 for nothing at all the game is the same as it was when free don’t waste 2.99 keep the free one

### 5/5 — I recommend this app

*2015-05-23, version 1.5*

The school of my daughter recommended this app to learn phonics while playing and it's really been helpful! It teaches the phonics with good words and it looks pretty so my daughter stays interested for long enough. Can you please make an app that does phonics blending too? That would help a lot! Thanks

### 5/5 — Enjoyable

*2015-02-19, version 1.5*

A very enjoyable phonics game, my son likes to play. There are a lot of words and sounds in it

### 4/5 — One of the best

*2014-12-10, version 1.4*

Had some great success with this app trying to teach my daughter some phonics. The app helps a lot to make it entertaining! It helps to be able to hear the different phonics sounds in the groups so she learns it in order. Great work!

### 1/5 — Very disappointing

*2014-09-09, version 1.4*

Poor value for money. My 4 year old whilst enjoying the app very quickly worked through all of the available games (did not take long). To move on I had to purchase more.

### 4/5 — Good matching pairs game

*2014-08-28, version 1.4*

The game is good and has exceptional good phonics sounds.

### 5/5 — Great Jolly Phonics game

*2014-08-13, version 1.4*

This is one of the best phonics games on the App Store. It has all the Jolly phonics groups and my son likes the game a lot. It's giving him an advantage in school.

### 5/5 — Great

*2014-05-09*

Very good Jolly Phonics app, my daughter is getting much better with the groups.

### 5/5 — Phonics Match

*2014-02-16, version 1.3.3*

I bought this app for my daughter. I had a problem geting sound to start with so emailed Bram Van Damme. They were brilliant and got back to me straight away even though it was late evening. It turned out that I had the mute switch on, the one used for rotation blocking. Once I slid the switch it all worked fine and my daughter loves it.  Would reccommend the app.

### 5/5 — Great recognition for phonics

*2014-02-12, version 1.3.3*

My 4 year old loves this game (one of the few he gets on with!) - its great for recognition particularly with blended words and digraphs like ie and oo. Highly recommend it!
