User reviews

The perfect app!

I purchased the app for my 23 year old autistic son who has never been able to read more than a few simple words. He loves the app and uses it every day to de-code words. He is fascinated with "text to speech" and this app has provided a key link in developing word recognition. I would highly recommend this app, particularly for adults with developmental disabilities.

Please stay way from it

Great for students!!

This app is awesome for assisting students become independent readers. Initially I could not get the audio to work but I contacted the developer to help me figure out the issue. Seems the iPad has a glitch which MUTES some apps, even though the MUTE option is not selected. The way the app breaks down the words clearly showing the blends and digraphs enables students to learn not only the word but the sounds as well. The ability to download additional book titles makes it so that nearly every word my students come across is pronounced correctly in a realistic voice. Great filter for words which should not be said out loud!!! Kudos!!

Do NOT Purchase!

It's clear to me that the positive reviews must have been written by the developer since this is the worst application I have ever purchased. It does nothing at all. It is a waste of space. The input is spotty at best, it does not recognize common sight words, it's useless.

Don't buy it

Only break down a few words
