I downloaded it because almost every game we try has in tiny words below it, in app purchase. I downloaded this because it didn’t say that, only to find out after playing 4 games, payment is required. SMH. We all would love for our children/grandchildren to learn more but we all can’t afford these games. Excellent and fun but just disappointed due to dishonest advertising ### 4/5 — Kids loved it *2024-09-02, version 2.6.1* My 4 year old learned her letter sounds very quickly and really enjoyed the games! The only problem I had was that my 3 year old was able to just tap on anything until the right answer was found and she didn’t learn anything from that. Not much that can be changed there because it is a game but she just didn’t seem to grasp a lot of what each game was trying to teach her. My only other issue is that I didn’t quite see the transition from letter sounds to actually learning to read words. I felt like there was a big jump from sounds to reading and not any explaining and taking small steps towards that. ### 4/5 — I don’t know *2024-05-27, version 2.3.9* I don’t know about this game because I just got into this game. ### 4/5 — So fun *2023-11-01, version 2.3.9* My daughter loves to play. ### 5/5 — Very good *2023-07-27, version 2.3.9* Easy to learn ### 5/5 — Fun *2023-07-07, version 2.3.9* The fun ### 5/5 — Joshua Legions *2023-06-04, version 2.3.9* US ONLY 59 PLA ### 5/5 — Cool *2023-05-31, version 2.3.9* Cool ### 5/5 — Phonics game *2023-05-30, version 2.3.9* Great for teaching and review ### 2/5 — Too American. *2023-05-16, version 2.3.9* Please try British English ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-05-12, version 2.3.9* Fun and interactive ### 4/5 — Good app *2023-04-18, version 2.0.2* Nice app. Sound can be a little better. ### 5/5 — Fun *2023-03-18, version 2.3.9* My daughter is 5 and still likes this game. ### 5/5 — Making a Amazing Game1111’ *2023-03-13, version 2.3.9* Njdhdhdhhdjdjjdd ### 5/5 — Sight *2023-02-01, version 2.3.9* Great way to teach children ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Good *2025-04-20, version 2.6.3* Good ### 1/5 — Not too good *2025-03-16, version 2.6.3* Not very good with usage and learning issues ### 1/5 — Steven *2025-02-21, version 2.6.1* Steven Steven ### 1/5 — My child HATES this app *2023-03-12, version 2.3.9* When I showed my grandchild this app he liked it, but after that I think the app glitched and the monkey kept on singing WEEE WOEEEE WEE WOEE and he started screaming. It hurts my heart to see him this scared. Please fix this. 💗💗 ### 1/5 — No sound playing on new iPhone *2023-02-08, version 2.3.9* No sound. Useless ### 1/5 — What’s happening to the app? *2022-08-03, version 2.2.2* Hi my kids love this app it’s amazing! But I’ve been paying for a subscription for ages now and the app won’t open. I even deleted it and downloaded it again but it won’t open. Please fix it 😩 ### 1/5 — App crashes *2022-07-25, version 2.2.2* App will not load. Crashes after startup. Re-installed, re-booted nothing has worked. Spent way too much time trying to resolve ### 1/5 — Always shuts off *2022-06-02, version 2.2.2* This app just turns off whenever I try to start it. I even deleted it and downloaded it again. Then I tried downloading it on my iPad and that didn’t work either. Just shuts down. I really need to entertain my kids today because I had surgery and need to rest but this app is useless. ### 1/5 — Actually a great app but has stopped working! *2022-04-01, version 2.2.2* My daughter is autistic and this app has really helped her learn her phonics and spelling, she loves it and uses it daily but unfortunately it has stopped working and will not load up on her iPad. I have contacted the developers and had no response. I pay for a subscription for this and have had no choice but to install it on my iPhone for her instead which isn’t really convenient and obviously the screen size is reduced. If it wasn’t for this issue then I would have given 5 stars! I have updated her iPad software, reset the iPad, uninstalled the app and reinstalled to no avail! ### 1/5 — It is broken *2022-03-06, version 2.2.2* The app is consistently flash off. Contact customer service and tried all methods recommended but still didn’t work. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — It’s great *2026-04-20, version 2.7.2* Its awesome, my daughter enjoys so much ### 5/5 — So far so good *2026-02-02, version 2.7.2* My son is engaged ### 5/5 — Greatest *2026-01-30, version 2.7.2* We are trying this game for plane rides ave is very interactive for my 5 yo ### 5/5 — Best game in the world *2025-07-27, version 2.6.3* I love it so much even my brother does and he’s 40 30 my God it’s so good ### 5/5 — The first sight words & alphabet *2024-12-07, version 2.6.1* The first sight words today in week ### 5/5 — Love *2024-11-24, version 2.6.1* So good! ### 5/5 — Paeroium *2024-05-26, version 2.3.9* Eatsye ### 5/5 — Fffd to FF staa A’s y you *2024-03-26, version 2.3.9* I’m ite but not too old quite like you so you ye ### 5/5 — Everything you need! *2023-10-24, version 2.3.9* This app is connected to a yearly purchase. However it is well worth the price. It has different sections that focus on different skills. My favorite is Phonics Farm as it starts at letter sounds and works up to spelling and site words. It uses traditional phonics to make reading words easier. Some of the other sections are super easy and some more advanced. I have realized that even if they are guessing at the right word they are still learning in this game because it says the sound or word repeatedly which gives word recognition by shape. This worked really well with my daughter that has ADHD. I hope this helps you on your journey. ♥️ ### 5/5 — Fun and colourful *2023-08-01, version 2.3.9* My daughter is loving this app so far. It is made fun and keeps kids interested knowing they are getting rewards/finding the hidden treasure --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
