Sounds aren’t working

The sounds are not working. There are absolutely zero sounds upon opening the app, and playing the game. That makes this app useless. VERY dissatisfied.

Sound not working

Why isn’t the sound working for phonic or abc ninja?

Sounds are not clipped!

Some sounds are pronounced correctly but many…especially the blends are not clipped. BL is not pronounced /bluh/. It should be just /bl/. I won’t be using this or recommending it until this is changed.

Not enough feedback

My students enjoy this game but there is no penalty for random guesses please make it more similar to Fruit Ninja … only allow a few errors before game over. We have to teach them to recognize accurate connections of sound/symbol relationships, not random guessing!

Great app!

It helps me very much with my spelling tests and it’s a fun way to help kids like me with spelling. big five stars! thank you for making this app and make more apps like this one. thank you for reading and bye

It is engaging but there are issues

When the app asks for the /k/ sound it throws up both the c and the k. The k is right but the c is wrong. Either fix how you throw the letters up and only have the 1 letter or count both letters correct. I am sure this is true for some of the sounds for vowels.

There’s no point to this game

Should be a free app

Don’t buy this app

The app gives no direction, introductory lesson, and many of the sounds are not articulated accurately and clearly. This would be fine if it were a free app for your kid to kill time using but not useful for learning phonics or to supplement phonics lessons at home/school

Tremendous

This is a great app for parents to use as an easy sight word practice. Tends to make the word practice painless. Also love the customizable lists you can create as your child adds new words.

Some errors.

There are some errors for how some of the digraphs are pronounced. I would not use this if you are wanting your child to learn phonics. These little errors now can effect the child later on when reading becomes more difficult.

Sound problems...

The game worked well at the start, but now the sound won’t work...Why is there no sound?? The app is useless without it.

Perfect for beginners

My first grader was struggling
This helped him a lot make sense of sounds
It was also simple and fun to play

Good for drilling

Good as literacy centre activity

Mr

No sound at all.

Fun!!

Fun app for kids learning sounds!!

Kids love it!

My kids love it at first but bore easily. I would like it to add more features like combining sounds to create words. Also could use specific words that target articulation sounds!

Mrs. T

Love the game, the kids will listen intently to win the game,

Cute phonics app

Cute phonics app for young children

Great game, bad phonemes

I only played a few sounds, and immediately spotted a problem that many teachers don't recognize. Consonant sounds do not have an "uh" after the sound. It is "b", not "buh". But other than that common problem, what a great idea!
