Customer Reviews
It is a good start
I like the variety and number of pictures for each sound. I wish that there were options to modify program or that the way to move pictures (with check for correct or x for wrong) were more sensitive. It takes time for pictures to transition which could cause child to loose interest.
Not impressed
I agree with others-- words are misspelled, and some choices of pictures are strange. Blends should not be mixed in with non-blends. Expensive for a non-quality app.
Hate it...so disappointed...waste of money
Pros:
Keeps track of kids score
I like the idea behind the app
The categories are organized well but there are mistakes
CONS:
Does not separate words by syllables. There I not an option to separate the cards by 1and2 syllables for kids that are just starting on a sound.
Does not allow you to skip over a word if u think it's inappropriate. This is bad bc they're included in the data which makes the data tracker irrelevant if u have to take your own anyway.
It mixes in blends with nonblends and doesn't allow you to skip over them.
It doesn't have a deck of blends (I.e., s blends, etc).
It's expensive and crappy. I'm mad I paid 20 bucks for it and won't be using it.
Oh; and also, it doesn't have all of the processes listed such as cluster reduction so look at the list before buying it.
