Refreshing app

This app has been exactly what my son needed. It’s easy to navigate and does a great job of giving positive encouragement, which really helped him feel confident and comfortable using it. He’s been fully engaged from the start. It’s simple, but honestly essential—and he hasn’t put it down in the last two days.

Glad your son enjoyed it!

Excellent concept and execution

Easy for little kids to use. It provides a straightforward reward for them as they advance. Word by word. Building sentences and books.

Response from developer

Appreciate the Feedback!

Personalized e-book for the win!

Met the developer at a booth today and immediately downloaded it for my daughter. She loves the positive affirmations when she gets the word right and how it makes her a personalized e-book made primarily with the words she mastered. Also the full version was 4$, I thinks it’s worth a lot more.

Response from developer

Thank you for the feedback !
