It’s the WOST app
You can’t get the app with out $$ it needs to be fixed.
Dreadful
This app does not understand important conditions for learning. The words are introduced in isolation, instead of in context, so there's a high demand on rote memorisation. That alone is enough to reject the app.
The "Noughts and Crosses" game makes no sense -- the player cannot choose his/her own word, but only the word dictated by the program. The player cannot choose own strategy for winning. Whether you win or lose is up to the app -- rather than the player. I won't even waste my time looking at the other activities.

Great app. Struggled to find an app which would support the Queensland prep curriculum. Glad to find one which would cover the M100W word lists. Just one comment - it would be good if you could more easily navigate between 1-25 and the higher lists and vice versa. It's hard to get back to the start from later word lists. Thanks.

Great app!
I love the amount of words I get for free and then the reasonable cost to buy the rest.
My four year old has learned a lot from this app.
He loves recording his own audio. He has a speech delay and hearing himself has helped him a lot.

Kids Learn Sight Words
This is a great app, but it would be perfect if the word lists could be customised so that the weekly class spelling words could be added. I would buy the app if this feature was available.
Audio not working for iPad mini 2

Very basic
My 3 year old can do these words.
Almost five stars
Almost five stars! It would have gotten five stars if the little star that records the child's voice can be canceled if the child misspoke the word, so they can hear the computer voice for the correct pronunciation. Otherwise, great program! My sons really enjoy it!
Would be great to have a few custom words
I love this app! One thing I would like to suggest is if we were able to add three or so custom words (I know this is free, so the full version should be able to have more). I enjoy this, and only ask for the custom words so that I may input students' names to practice their own spelling! The only other suggestion I have about the current version is to have the letters reach from the top of the space to the bottom, as they are taught (top, middle, bottom). Otherwise, great job.

Great app!
Great
Good app, my son loves it.
Nice app
I really like that you can record your voice. I think it's great that kids can see the word, hear the word, write the word, and say the word. This app, though simple, integrates many learning styles. I love the games it allows the kids to play too. Very nice app!
Sound does not work
Not happy with this app! The sound does not work! What is the point in using this app during "center time" if the students can't self check? I will delete it and find one that has working sound. Maybe someone will post a suggestion! I have a new iPad with the newer operating system and that is why the sound does not work.... The company needs to update this app...according to Geek Squad at Best Buy.

Best sight words app
I downloaded several sight word apps and this one is by far my favorite. My daughter has been struggling to remember her sight words, this app may have saved the day. They say the word, your little one can write the word and erase it easily if needed. They get to play a fun learning game after completing 5 words. I'm very thankful for this excellent app.

My 5 yr old loves it!
My 5 year old loves playing this game. We use it while his brother is in karate, and I am amazed at how well this keeps his attention. I have also been surprised at how well this has helped increase his retention of the sight words. My husband was surprised after a couple of weeks, how well he was reading short books. I recommend this app to aid in sight word retention.

My 3yr old
So far we have bought the 1st hundred words of this app & I love it. My daughter loves the matching & tic tac toe games. Shes a little young for the hangman or spelling games so we skip them. I only wish there was a scramble function or parental control that would allow me to create a list of words my daughter is struggling with. This would make it easier for her to review specific words without having to go through all the words. I may be asking for a lot but it would be nice if there was a trace feature option on the app for the little ones that are still working on writing by way of tracing. Either way this app is teaching my daughter. She knows at least 85 of the words & she's only 3.

Smart App!
This app is great for kindergarten and early first grade. The students practice the sight words by, listening, reading, spelling and recording and listening to their own voices pronouncing the words. After each group of five words there is a fun game to reinforce identifying the targeted sight words. I recommend using a stylus for the writing practice. There are a couple things that would make this app better. The print could be in D'Nelian since this is a broadly taught form of handwriting. Also, my students' favorite game is the nature puzzle that follows the first five sight words. I wish that game was available for the other words or on a related app available for purchase.

Good and Bad
I really like the games and the fact that the kids can write the sight words in the lines like they would on a piece of paper. However, the kids don't have to spell the word correct or at all in order to move on. They could just click through or scribble to get to the games. If there was a way to track their progress or give them the option of telling them they need to do their best work, I think that would greatly increase the value of this learning tool.
