Won’t open

The app is frozen on the opening page. I can’t get it to do anything.

Not good at all

It won’t even open

Fun game but very limited

My son really does well with this game. He is 9 with dyslexia and this game gives him confidence.

However, we have been doing the free trial for 2 days now and it limits what he can do in a day. The developers say to play for 10 mins a day, however over the last 2 days he has only been able to play for 11 minutes total before it tells him to come back tomorrow.

There is no way I am going to pay $10 a month for something he can only use 6 minutes a day.

Response from developer

Hey Joy, The daily play limit you are seeing is intentional and part of how the program is designed. Our curriculum is planned to present about 15 minutes of new learning content per day because our pedagogue has found this is best for focus, retention, and confidence building for children. After your child completes the day’s missions and reaches Mission 4, the Arcade mode (roulette icon) unlocks so he can replay all previously completed levels as much as he wants, with extra chances to practice the games he found most challenging. This way he still has meaningful, confidence-boosting practice time beyond the daily new-content limit.

Lifetime Subscription Special Needs

Would you please add the option for a one time payment for a lifetime subscription for special needs children who need a lifetime to learn to read on IOS or your website? Thank you!

Response from developer

Hey there, We appreciate you taking the time to let us know what would be helpful, especially for families supporting special-needs learners. Your suggestion for a one-time lifetime subscription option is very valuable, and we’ve passed this along to our product team for review. While we don’t currently offer this option, we are always working to improve our products and accessibility, so feedback like yours really matters. If you have any more ideas or if you'd like support exploring the best plan for your needs, please feel free to reach out to us anytime at info@mrswordsmith.com — we’re here to help.
