I wish there was an easier way to access all of the games. Some of the words are hard to understand. I would buy it again ### 3/5 — Good *2020-04-20* The sound on the app doesn’t work on my phone but it does work on the iPad. So far so good! ### 4/5 — Fun app! No sound! *2019-11-08* My son has enjoyed this app, but one day the sound stopped. I have deleted the app and re-installed it Still no sound. ### 2/5 — Pretty good for little kids learning *2018-09-08* It’s great for different kids to learn spellings ### 1/5 — Cannot enter player name it won't save *2017-12-11* It does not work properly I'd like a refund, once you enter a name and try to save there's a text box that keeps floating ### 2/5 — Dose not work on iPhone 6S *2017-05-24, version 1.4* This is a good app on the iPad. Kids love it. But will not work on my IPhone 6S or my wife's. Will not play any sound. ### 2/5 — No sound *2017-05-02, version 1.4* Great game if there was sound ### 2/5 — Don't waste your money *2016-10-19, version 1.4* The app is only 2 games, not what's advertised. The player's name stays on the top third of the page blocking essential things. You can't actually create a full character, there's no option to save it. Maddening! ### 1/5 — Word Bingo *2016-07-24, version 1.4* No sound fir this app! I tried all the suggestion and still no sound. Requesting a refund. Very disappointed! ### 1/5 — No sound *2015-06-07, version 1.4* I have tried everything and can't get the sound to work. It isn't the phone everything else works. It is the app. I want my money back! ### 2/5 — Where are the other games? *2015-06-05, version 1.4* The description of this app I very misleading. It was my impression that there were 4 games included, yet I can only access the Word Bingo. Where is Word Fling & the others? Are they in a different app? ### 3/5 — has become impossible to play *2015-04-16, version 1.4* This app was a great tool for in reading class, but now it is not. When we first started using it it was easy to score "bingo bugs" and this was a great motivator. Since then, though, the amount of seconds allowed to score a bug has gotten lower and lower to the point that bugs just can't be gotten at all. We will not be using this app anymore till you fix this "bug." ### 4/5 — great app *2015-03-13, version 1.4* My kid likes it. Very nice app. ### 4/5 — Excellent App. *2014-10-02, version 1.4* Great balance of learning and fun. This is the best learning app I have found that is actually fun to play. I would give it 5 stars if you could customize word lists so that I could have my child practice with his school sight word lists! ### 1/5 — NO SOUND *2014-09-24, version 1.4* Just payed for an app that has no sound.....money back please! Or can you not hear that request either? ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dose not say words properly *2020-07-28* trash ### 1/5 — No sound *2020-03-02* Bought this for my son and there is no sound at all, which means he cannot play bingo like we bought the app for. Tried changing settings and deleting and re installing. Not worth the purchase at all. ### 1/5 — Bummer *2019-12-08* No sound. **Developer response:** Hello, Thanks for reaching out to ABCya.com!

A child cannot hear the word. This game does not function properly and I want a refund. ### 1/5 — No sound! *2019-01-09* There is no sound! ### 1/5 — Sound doesn’t work!!!! *2018-11-03* Broken ### 1/5 — NO SOUND *2018-10-20* Absolutely horrible, you pay three dollars for this app and it has no sound whatsoever. what a scam! ### 1/5 — Sound issues *2018-09-25* Tried everything to get sound to function. No luck. Angry that I paid for this. ### 1/5 — Broken, will not play *2018-01-15* After entering name and picking avatar, there is no option to play — just the option to enter another player or avatar. That’s it. You can play as a guest, tho. **Developer response:** We apologize for the issue you experienced. We were able to complete the steps and continue on to play the game after clicking on the play button. Please email us at "support@abcya.com" with any additional information in regards to this issue and we will be more than happy to help! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — mega fun app but needs a bug fix *2026-05-01* when i got 50 bingo bugs they fly out the square so can you guys make an update and to a small bug fix so the bugs can stop flying out the square p and one more thing bring kindergarten bingo and spanish word bingo and base ten bingo please those apps are mega awesome but this app i play all the time we play this as a family and my grandma plays this game too but i do not like when the bingo bugs fly out the rectangle so can you guys make a small bug fix please ### 5/5 — Great *2016-09-18* This is a great app. It has four sight words games that my son loves to play. Word bingo it says that word then you rap the word on the bingo card. Word fling- it shows you three words and says one. You then tap on the correct word which then allows you to throw the create across to a moving target. My son really loves this game. ### 5/5 — Easy fix for No Sound after update :) *2014-11-10* 1. Check the Side Switch on the upper right corner of your iPad and make sure that the orange dot is not showing. 2. Turn up the volume using the buttons on the right side of your iPad. 3. Please restart your device. See "Restart iPad" here. 4. If you are using iOS 4.3 or above (See Settings > General > Version, for iOS version number): -a. Make sure the orange dot is not showing on the Side Switch on the upper right corner of the iPad. -b. Go to Settings > General > use Side Switch to: > Check Mute -c. Open the app, and the sound should now be working. -d. (Optional) Now if you want to change the Settings to "Use Side Switch to: Lock Rotation," you can. With the Lock Rotation setting selected, you can change the Side Switch to show the orange dot, and the app will now still have sound. ### 5/5 — Drfwasdrdedeeceedddsewuijujyjjukjnmnnhmjmjhkikkuiiooooiuitojjjuwweeeweesrdwe *2014-07-25, version 1.4* Wezedsfsetfdsseeeqweeeweyyuiiuuuiuuuyjjnbm,loo..,join,,bk,.,,....l...

It really addresses the needs of my children to help them practice spelling and sight words with plenty of fun and good feedback built into the game. Bingo Bug offers several levels of practice in three speeds which encourages my slowest readers and challenges my fastest readers. Children practice spelling and reading several ways. The easiest of these has built in supports to scaffold the most timid readers. Great job! ### 5/5 — Fast & Furious. Just what I need! *2014-03-05, version 1.4* Requires very little setup. Students enjoy choosing characters. ### 5/5 — Great app! *2013-12-31, version 1.4* Great for reading practice! ### 5/5 — Love it *2013-11-30* Worth every penny if not more. My daughter loves the critters. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
