Wonderful, fun and efficient

Wonderful for young children to discover phonics in a fun and engaging way.
4 stars only because we have a bug and can’t play “u”!
Developers please could we get this fixed!
Thanks

Sound doesn’t work

There is no sound! Have turned the toggle to on and turned my iPad volume up but still no sound!

No Sounds

Same as other people!

Refund please

Sound won’t work!

Tried toggling in settings, quitting and restarting, deleting and re-downloading - to no avail.

The 2nd app works fine so it’s not a phone problem, just this app. Will re-review if it starts working.

(Ps to previous reviewer - for half the country “barth” is a perfectly correct pronunciation of bath ;) )

Useless app

Most useless app I ever spent on
Wish I could get a refund
My son found it boring and not mentally challenging.
Probably for a 1 year old

No sound at first

We didn’t have sound at first but you just need to make sure your phone isn’t on silent mode and it works fine - on I phone make sure the button on the left hand side of phone isn’t on silent :)

Good UK phonics

This is basic phonics so you might make the same mistake as me and buy it when your child is well beyond the single letter phonic sounds.

Also, the accent of the voice over makes sound pronunciation incorrect. For example, “bath” is pronounced “barth”.

I wish that the dialogue changed colour so the child could read along to the text.

Sound does not work

Pointless, what's the use of a phonics app where the sound doesn't work. Don't waste your money like I did.

No sound?!

Just purchased the app bundle but there is no sound! In settings the toggle is switched to ‘sound on’ and my phone volume turned up all the way and nothing.
I want a refund

Abu son's son

Amazing I've been using it for the 2 years and I haven't seen any as good as this. 5 star price for 5 star app

Brilliant!!

Kids love this app and learned faster because of it.

awesome!

Really clever educational app, brilliant clearly spoken English audio and stunning artwork. This is the fourth Unit 11 app I have purchased and I have not been disappointed yet!

Excellent

very impressed, both of my children (4 and 6) loved this, and my 4 year old has now learnt all of her phonics in a matter of a few days.

Surprisingly fun with fantastic learning value

Really enjoyable app, works great and the kids love it!

Great app

We really like this series, our 3 year old boy is really making good headway with it and is capable of sounding out three and four letter words after only a couple of weeks.

Doesn't work

Worked well in the beginning then stopped. Apple refused me a refund.

Lots of fun and good for 4 year olds

' It's lots of fun, I especially liked shooting the bombs at the ships and the people walking the plank. And I liked doing 't', and 'w' and all the letters that they got. Now I'm going to do no.2!' That's the review from my 4.5 year old, who really loved this and paid such close attention to the games and phonic content.

Love it

This is great for my 2 kids. It brings them thru various stages in a fun and logical path. It has helped my 7 y/o son and he is now on 3. My 5 y/o daughter is now using it.

Great phonics app

My son loves this set of apps and it has really helped him learn his phonics and start to read

Really nice education app!

My kids really enjoyed this app, I didn’t expect it to be as good as it is and I wasn’t expecting the kids to learn as much as they did! Would highly recommend.
