The app is constantly glitching. My daughter can't even learn. Then I get an email saying "your daughter can benefit from redoing these lessons" and it's literally almost every one because either all the letters are not on the page, it glitches and gets all fuzzy and you can't see the screen, it crashes and won't let her open it, or it just sits on a blank screen. Considering I'm paying for the app, I think this issue should be resolved.

I was super excited to try this out with my 3 1/2 year old. He was excited at first, too, but that quickly diminished. It's the same games over and over and over. I know you need repetition, but add more games! He loved the songs but after 2-3 of the games he's just over the whole thing, so I can't even get him through an entire lesson in one sitting. Also, to click into the songs and games is so finicky it's absolutely annoying, and my poor son could never click it right to even get into them

i have been trying to cancel but under manage subscriptions there is only the option of pausing payments. i have been charged monthly even after several requests for cancellation. at this point im not worried about refunds for the year plus ive been charged. I am just wanting to cancel because i am still being charged. the app itself was okay but we only used it once or twice.

It's okay, but we're 4 months in and my 5yr was excited at 1st. It faded quickly. The activities are repeated a lot, the stories are read quickly and doesn't give him a chance to read along. He guesses often, b/c it will just let him keep guessing, but "passes" that sec. anyway. The games don't give a lot of explanation for young kids so he gets upset. He wants to do ABC mouse and I'm sad that he doesn't like the app I paid so much for and hasn't learned much from it. It does glitch often too.

This app has potential but theres a big problem that needs to be corrected. We've only had this app for a few days but in the beginning lessons, many of the letter sounds being taught are incorrect. I assume it continues throughout the levels. Many of the pronounciations add an "uh" to the phoneme. I am surprised this has not been addressed and/or corrected as it can be harmful to young children learning letter phonemes. App also has bad word choices for teaching vowel sounds. App needs work

My daughter seems to like hooked on phonics a lot. More than everything else I've tried. The stars are nice to encourage her. I was about to give up on teaching her to read but this program has helped so much. thank you
