Basic

My son is 7 and this app is way too basic.

Disappointing

There is no way to get back to the main menu once the game starts. The words keep repeating over and over. Not very useful.

I suppose this might be a good game...if the sounds were to come up.

Great app, i noticed a few words were pronounced wrong-eg. CLOVER was said like CLUVVER and a few times there has been no sound for the words but other than that really awesome

For kindergarten level only

The maximum length of word is 6 letters, and there are limited number of words. Not good for First grade or higher level.

Word Magic

App has frozen! Granddaughter loved playing it too!

Ok, but could improve

My biggest concern is the accent of the reader is a bit hard to understand for US English. There is a picture as well, but think they should have correct audio cues to learn as well.

Great learning game

Good game. Could do with a timer function.

Intuitive, instant, no inner delays

This is an app that entertains and teaches instantly yet is likely to remain a favorite for no short amount of time. No social networks, scoreboards, layers of narrative, etc. It gets right to the business at hand and makes it fun for both child and adult (who probably won't be required for the tot to derive full benefit from the game). One of the best values in apps.

Very good app

I use this app everyday in my classroom for spelling practice. Its a great app and it also has other spelling games.

Please either up the complexity or develop another version for 1
St and 2nd standards

Options to increase complexity

There should have been options to increase the complexity beyond level 2.The words are repetitive

great

makes them think

There are some pronunciation errors

As someone in the speech therapy field, the mispronunciations are hard to listen to...I've encountered several, i.e. Tree sounds more like twee; three is also incorrectly pronounced.
I suppose I could turn down the volume but I think the auditory feedback is important for the children. Rerecord a different child saying the word correctly for five stars.

Love it

This is one of our favorites! Nice levels to grow with

Question

Does anyone know how to turn off the timer???

Queen bee

Something is wrong with the flute card.

Good app for kids learning to read

Two of my kids love this app, one is 6 and is just learning to read at the kindergarten level. My 4 y.o. Really likes it too, and it is challenging for him. My other 6 y.o. Is already reading and she thinks it is boring. So, this is a great app for early readers.

Phonetics support added

Thanks for all the support for Word Magic. Starting from 4.0 we are planning on making several enhancements. As a first step, we had added support for phonetics in the preferences. We have retained the old layout as default. In the upcoming versions, we will default it to phonetics. Thanks to Maynee Desandies - our local teacher who had helped us in adding phonetics support for Word Magic.

Fantastic app!

Great learning app! There are other similar apps like this one, but they are not as good. Perfect learning tool for our preschooler! The stickers and ribbon rewards are an extra bonus feature, it motivates our little one.
