Best reading app

I’ve taught two of my children to read using this app and fully intend to use it for our third. We’ve tried others but they are nowhere near as good as this app. It’s targeted and specific enough to really be focused on learning to read. It’s also fun and engaging. My kids loved it. It was never a fight to get them to do it and so effective. Coupled with reading beginner learning books this app is incredible. I highly recommend.

Average app but takes money without authority

The app is as expected and average. However there is no way to cancel anything and they keep taking money without authorisation. Emails will be answered very slow and can’t get a. Refund

Good

Best reading app I’ve ever found

Fantastic App

I have taught all three of my kids to read using this app as a tool. My youngest just finished level 5 and will be moving on to levels 6-10 as a right of passage.

Best learn to read app out there

I’ve tried several different learn-to-read apps, and this is by far and away the best one in my opinion. It teaches children to read phonetically in a fun and engaging way. My four year old loves it and has learned a lot. I’m glad they came out with Volume 2 and hope they come out with several more volumes.
