### 1/5 — Crashes when I play my audio

*2023-01-26*

Simple and love how one can put their own list BUT anytime I play my audio while making a word and playing the game it crashes. Looks like I’m going to need a refund.

**Developer response:** Thank you for giving Sight Words Balloons a try. And thanks for the useful information regarding the crash. That has now been fixed and the app has been updated.  In the future, feel free to report bugs or crashes directly to the developers as it can often help to improve the app and gives you an opportunity to be constructive. There are links in store to developer pages that should provide contact details.

### 5/5 — This is way more fun!

*2014-08-02*

Kids learning their first words will enjoy this different approach to practicing.  It’s a lot of fun, and very configurable.  Love the fact that I can create my own word lists.
