After only two weeks, I can feel my brain beginning to recognise the sounds of the letters rather than having to think them through. In other words, I am beginning to read CW. Thank you Ake for a very helpful app. ### 2/5 — Used to love but no more *2026-06-21, version 2.4.33* I used to love this app and I had the pro version. I just cancelled it due to the ads. I probably wouldn’t have minded them but it was the kind of ads where they have x’s so small or light that you can’t get out of the ad as it try’s to force you to get whatever product it is for. It was a great product but they ruined it. ### 5/5 — Mr Leith *2026-06-19, version 2.4.33* Great store. ### 5/5 — Pas *2026-06-12, version 2.4.33* Pas ### 5/5 — Charing for full QR *2026-06-12, version 2.4.33* Poor service charges for poor service this could be better don’t get much for the service here can you find solutions money worry’s. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-06-08, version 2.4.33* This is a money grabbing scam.
