### 4/5 — I live this app

*2025-04-30, version 2.0*

I have used this app for years. I LOVE it. I gave 4 stars because some of the pictures for some sounds are not correct such as final /s/. Several pictures are spelled with a “s,” but have the sound /z/. I wish the creator had paid a little more attention to those kinds of details.  I love that I can create my own pictures and record client responses.

### 5/5 — Mommy how are you doing today hope you have a good day today

*2022-04-09*

I love you so much love Victoria

### 5/5 — I love it

*2021-12-29, version 2.0*

Nln

### 2/5 — Meh. Not a phonics app at all.

*2021-06-16, version 2.0*

This app allows you to record are you enunciate words. Nothing about learning to read and decode phonics.Fine as a Speech app, but the name is misleading.

### 5/5 — I like it

*2021-01-05, version 2.0*

I enjoy this app, it is useful!

### 4/5 — Great app!

*2020-11-21, version 2.0*

Great app! Not sure why it doesn’t have the full alphabet, but that may just be me not knowing phonics?? Example Q and H are missing. Been helping my nephew a lot !

### 3/5 — Not perfect but good value

*2019-01-24, version 2.0*

I’m a parent of a toddler with a speech delay. I wanted to work with him at home with similar apps the SLP uses at school but they are crazy expensive. This is great for our needs. My only complaint is that it’s clear this app is super old and has no support team left. There are a lot of technical problems with the customization that are frustrating. Despite that it’s worth the price.

### 3/5 — Where’s the H ?

*2018-07-02, version 2.0*

Is there a reason the app is missing the letter H?

### 2/5 — Instructions

*2018-05-03, version 2.0*

No directions at all???

### 4/5 — Great app for the cost

*2018-02-17, version 2.0*

I like this app a lot, but really wish it had an option to indicate approximation. It’s either right/wrong. I love how it’s very simple to record and that it saves the recordings. It would be nice to be able to go back and edit answers.
