***** 24x7digital's SightWords app has been featured as an iTunes App Store Staff Pick! Help your young learner master the most frequently used words in the English language! A child who can recognize just 8 of 10 words in a sentence can typically understand its meaning! "Sight words" often cannot be illustrated via simple pictures or sounded out according to regular phonetic decoding rules, thus they need to be learned and recognized "on sight". Our SightWords app is a handy way to encourage a child's mastery of their sight words either as part of a structured reading program at school, or as an impromptu study session when standing in line at the grocery store. SightWords Pro contains a selection of over 1,600+ sight words which comprises up to 85% of the text in a child's early reading materials -- comprehensively compiled from Dolch, Fry, Pinnell-Fountas, UK, and many other high-frequency word lists. Choose a pre-defined flash card word list, or build and save custom flash card lists to match what is taught in the classroom. Add custom words and record your own pronunciations. Mark flash cards with stars or flags. Flash cards respond to swipes and taps. Shake your device to shuffle the words. Beautiful voice-pronunciations for all included words. FEATURES: • Over 1,600+ essential sight words • Upper and lower-case alphabet, numbers 0-100, colors, shapes, animals, months • Beautifully recorded American-English pronunciations for all words • Words organized by number of letters • Customizable word lists with copy/paste • Add your own words • Record your own pronunciations • Simple textual editing of word lists • Export your custom word lists as text • Mark flash cards with stars or flags • Flash cards respond to swipes and taps • Shake to shuffle words • In-app Help documentation • Universal app optimized for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad TRY OUR OTHER APPS: TeachMe: Toddler, TeachMe: Kindergarten, TeachMe: 1st Grade, TeachMe: 2nd Grade, TeachMe: 3rd Grade, TeachMe: Math Facts.

Verdict

The call

The clearest difference is price: Flash Cards Flashcards Maker at Free against SightWords Pro's $0.99. Flash Cards Flashcards Maker also leads on rating (4.5 vs 3.9) and update cadence (every 9 days vs every 4 months). SightWords Pro's advantage is in-app purchases (none vs 13) and ads (none vs shown). On device support there is nothing between them.

ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Flash Cards Flashcards Maker holds the better App Store score, 4.5 against 3.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: Flash Cards Flashcards Maker has 18K ratings behind it against 11, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 76% of SightWords Pro's written reviews are positive against 68% of Flash Cards Flashcards Maker's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

SightWords Pro ships an update every 4 months, Flash Cards Flashcards Maker every 9 days. The most recent releases landed on October 16, 2026 and October 18, 2026 respectively.
