First Words with Phonics

I bought this freaking app, SO I THOUGHT... Apparently I only bought a 1/4 of it, if that... In order for her to play the rest of the game I have to keep buying parts of it... SO NOT COOL...

The app works great and my german speaking son is finally learning English phonics. One problem - after I purchased it the letters V U and P tiles went blank on the bottom. It still works, but just a little weird for him when it reads the word back.

We did end up upgrading to the paid version... because my son loves to play. He learned very quickly that the letters are sounded and waits for each sound then pays attention asthw whole word sounds. We moved to latter prompts only and hope to move to no prompts soon. My son is nonverbal and generally does not like to "work" but will play this game for 30minutes at a time. My only compliant? I wish the company made more games. Other apps have far too many visual distractions, but this one is attractive without being busy.... we want more!

this app is not working

These positive reviews must be from parents who don't actually do the game with their child. The whole point of the game is to learn pronunciation broken down by sound. If the game is mispronouncing 3 out of 10 syllables it's totally worthless. Back to the drawing board developers!
