## Most critical reviews (9 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — No sound!

*2018-10-06*

There is no sound in this app

### 2/5 — Would be a great app if it had sound

*2024-03-13*

I purchased this app for my 4 yo but it has absolutely no sound, I purchased all three apps and now I want my money back.

### 3/5 — Needs a bug fix

*2015-03-20*

Love this app! But on the sling shot game, the letter keeps getting stuck in the top right corner and then we can't exit the screen within the app. Please fix!!!

### 3/5 — Nice!

*2015-01-17*

I like this app. I will use it at school. I would like to see at least a couple of changes. It would be more helpful to hear the letter sounds when spelling than the letter names. The letter printing demos need to be slowed down a great deal. It would be even better to see a colored line showing the letter as it it formed.

### 4/5 — So close to great.

*2018-12-21*

Overall I am pretty pleased with this game. However, it has no form of traditional gamification that will give the player a sense of progression. The only "reward" is an audio "Great job." It is most useful if you pick a particular thing you want someone to work on and then hand them the iPad. It would really only progress to a great app if you were able to instruct a child they have 30 minutes to play on the game and it would progressively get harder. The Number one complaint from my kid was that the games never end. All of that being said the games included are clever and fun. If you plan on sitting next to a child while they use this it should work great, but self guided play is unlikely.

### 4/5 — Great app for kids

*2014-11-06*

This app is excellent! The only reason I give it four stars is because there's a sound button but no sound. Work on fixing that and I'll give five stars. Otherwise, the app works excellently.

### 5/5 — Impressed!

*2019-05-01*

I love this app because it focuses on the development of easy words. I also love that it doesn’t use any characters that are “popular”. It is engaging without being overly distracting. Thank you!

### 5/5 — GREAT

*2015-01-03*

Really think this is well thought out and developed. Hoping you are working on a long vowel word study and possibly a silent e app. 😃

### 5/5 — Super short vowel

*2014-11-06*

This is a great app to use with a small group, lower students, or to use as a center and even a reinforcement for students finished with their assignments. 
I would love to see a long vowel study come out!!!
Thanks.
