App uses Fry’s sight words
This is a perfect app to supplement lessons on Fry’s sight words. It has up to the 300th word on the Fry’s lists. Highly recommended!
The voice recording doesn’t work
My daughter enjoys this app however the voice recording part doesn’t work, it seems like that is a big missing part. I don’t see any contact information where I can contact someone for help. Unless I can get that fixed I feel like this was a huge waste of money.
I really liked it
I looked everywhere for a simple app to learn sight words without distracting ads or locked features which would agitate him. This is easy to use if he doesn’t know a word he just taps it and it reads the word for him and writing it out helps him remember the spelling of the word he was having trouble with the first 100 sight words and he has already learned the first 80 worth the price (I had also purchased sight ninja but he was more excited about the game aspect and was just slicing the words)

My homeschooler like it. He can practice his sight words at his own speed, doing reading and writing. He works on a section and can move on to the next when he feel confident with the previous one.
Good App but lacks verbal confirmation
This is a great App but when the children misspell a word there is no way of actually knowing that their spelling was correct or not. (Unless the child is being constantly supervised - which they don't like)
A verbal confirmation of it being incorrect would be useful! The recording feature is good, but spelling is largely a written exercise......

Great app
I'm giving this 5 stars because this app rocks for my 4 year old. I don't think it's fair the above reviewer based it on not having first asked for multiple accounts. I can teach my son 5 words a week and write it, find it, etc.
We learn sight word 1-300
My teachers really like this app, but I find the lack of ability to have multiple students have profiles is a great weakness for using in schools.
Kids Learn Sight Words
My 6yr old son likes angry birds and world of goo like everyone else, but he also likes this and thinks of it like another game. You'd think he'd like it for the tic tac toe, puzzles, hangman, etc. but he seems to have the more fun playing with the star and the recording feature. I'm just glad to see him having a good experience with words.

Too much
I would have thought for $9 it would have been better. I would prefer if there was a way to customize the list so that it correlated with my SK's weekly list. All the words are there just not in the right order. I don't think I have ever spent this much on an app and I am having buyers remorse :o(
A Little Disappointed
This app would be better if you were able to choose the exact words you want to use instead of the predetermined lists. Also, this app does not recognize handwriting so a child can write anything and move to the next word. There are apps that recognize and say the name of each letter written and then say the name of the word again. If these features were added I would give 5 stars.

Would be awesome if it saved work
I really want to love this app! It has great potential and my daughter appears to enjoy it. However, it does not appear to save your work between sessions. This means the user must remember which of 300 words they have already done or redo previous words, which irritates my daughter. There is a setting for clearing work between sessions but it does not appear to change the behavior. I have contacted their customer support and they indicate this is designed functionality even though their app and app store description indicate it has a save feature. If I can't get this fixed I will ask for a refund.

Excellent...One Suggestion
This app has been wonderful in teaching my preschooler the sight words. However, one feature that I would like to see is the ability to trace the sight words in addition to actually writing them freehand. Tracing for preschoolers is instrumental in being able to develop their writing skills and letter formation. Your consideration would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Great learning app
Learn 300 basic sight words and have fun at the same time--what more could you ask for!
Good app
Bright cheery colors. The words are spoken when tapped. The drawing of the letters is smooth and responsive. The whole app flows very nicely. Sprinkled throughout are fun games like a picture puzzle, hang man and tic-tac-toe.
simple, straightforward
I teach 1st grade, and this app covers the first 200 Fry words. It is no nonsense, without lots of gimmicks and crazy stuff. Each review activity helps the student to practice the word; I think some are better than others. This is something that kids can do independently for practice.
