Teaching my daughter to read
My daughter attends a montessori school and this app is consistent with how they are taught in school. She is doing great so far. I think it’s very useful and helps with letter and word recognition. My only complaint is the voice is a little hard to understand. She sounds like Siri so a parent should be present to help repeat the word so your child can understand.

Awesome Concept, But Speech Hinders Execution
This has the potential to me by all-time favorite reading app. I'm a kindergarten teacher with a degree in EdTech. I have tried hundreds of apps in my classroom to help my students master letters and sounds on the journey to reading fluency. This one could easily be the best, were it not for the robotic pronunciation riddled with errors. My students were constantly asking me to listen to words, because they couldn't tell what the voice was saying. In the final position, d and t sound exactly alike. Need a voice for your app? I volunteer! If you get the voice fixed, this app would be stellar.

Great app but...
This has the potential to be a great reading app. Unfortunately the graphic design is not very engaging for kids.
Great app, but...
I agree with the previous reviews that it's hard to distinguish what the voice is saying.
The platform is great though. We just have to make sure one of us is helping our 5 year old while he's working on it to help him hear what's being said.

Confusing narrator makes app hard to use
This is a well-designed app and my 5 year old really enjoys it, but the machine-generated narrator can be very difficult to understand. Pronunciations of '-d' and '-t' are nearly indistinguishable. Words like 'Hat' and 'Had' are pronounced the same and this creates a lot of unneeded confusion and frustration. I would not recommend buying this app until it's fixed.
