Why did we make this app? Jonny is a father of two and started making this app to teach his kids to read. It worked really well, so he showed it to Miss Mabel (founder of Reading Roots, community of 750k parents and teachers learning phonics) to see if it would be useful to other people. She said yes, and had a lot of ideas how to make it better! So they spent AGES making 'The Phonics App', and now it's finally ready for you. We hope it helps you learn to read too!

Verdict
The clearest difference is update cadence: Worksheets at every 3 days against The Phonics App's monthly. Worksheets also leads on rating (5.0 vs 4.6) and iOS requirement (8.0 vs 15.6). The Phonics App's advantage is ratings volume (226 vs 1). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
