Unfortunately the ap is pretty unuseable. I tried it with my daughter and could only get one part to work - the rest repeated, overlapped, didn't move on - with multpile graphemes appearing one over the other. I think this is the main problem with the ap industry - they want us to spend more on high quality aps - but there is absolutely guarantee of quality. I thought being a Ladybird ap I would be safe so am pretty annoyed.

The app is great and works on my Nexus 7, although it is prone to stalling. I've downloaded to my daughters Kurio Tab 2 and I can't get it to run at all.

Gets past first level then keeps crashing and overlaying text upon text. Doesn't work and for a paid app I'm hugely disappointed, how do I get my money back?

Dont waste ur money - audio too low while even the free apps have better audio quality, and for a phonics app it is just too bad
