my app often asks for an expansion app, but won't download it, and the app won't work without this update. Very frustrating!!
it was a good app but i was more interested installing the Song App. I thought it was included. I have to cancel and ask for refund
We are having problems using the app. It worked so well. It is not working ☹️
It gets to writing the letter & the pencils disappear so can't write the letter.
Good For new learners and young children
I want the older version, it has much better activities.
THIS APP IS SO SO SO FUN MY mama BOUGHT IT FOR ME TODAY
It should be updated as per the today's need
My ward enjoys using this app.
Not interesting enough to capture my son's attention. It's designed very poorly and very monotonous, nothing exciting to kids. The steps get repeated more often & same tone...not sure if the app is completely accessible. Waste of money.
The app is poorly structured and frustrating for kids. It begins quite well, with a friendly bee prompting the child to create a new personalised flower pot, which my daughter really liked. The flowerpot has a number of flowers, with a petal for each letter, that the child can unlock as they progress. That's where it falls down though, because it won't unlock the next set of letters until the child can blend, write and spell words with the current set. For example, the app introduces the child to S, A and T and expects them to be able to blend them into syllables and write words with them before it introduces them to P, I and N. I like the way the letters are introduced in groups but this could be done as subsets of multiple stages; pronunciation, blending, spelling and then writing.
Have reinstalled 3xs but only part of this app seems accessible. Shame my toddler loves it.
My daughter loves this app however the letter formation is only for right handed children and she is left handed. For that reason I have only given it 4 out of 5. I would give it 5 if a LH letter formation option were added later.
I'm working with students that find it hard to stay focused, but with this app, I reckon we get more learning done in a fun way.👍
If this app can be streamed on google chromecast, it will get 5 stars from me.
My daughter loves this App and it goes hand in hand with her schooling. Educational and helps with introducing the tablet into her life. I had a small issue that the programmers worked tirelessly to help me with and did so successfully. Easily 5*
I purchased this app but I'm getting an error that the purchase cannot be validated. Please solve this for me.
I tried so many times but I'm not able to open the other flowers only I can see first flower plz help me out to open the others. Waiting for your reply even I installed the application again.
Have followed all advice and still cant download. A brand new device with a new SD card and i get the error 911. Would appreciate a refund. Disappointing as this was the one app my daughter really wanted.
My 5yr has done really well at school by using this app. Also appreciate the developers quick response to solving a small glitch. Thanks
Disappointed. Paid for the app via google play but the app will not open. Keeps saying it cannot be verified.
Disappointed at first, kept crashing, but I let them know and they got back quickly and now it's working fine.
Complete waste of money only has half the letters of alphabet and constant bugs so can't play game properly son is very disappointed and frustrated
This app has really consolidated my childs early learning skills from school.
Its great that there can be several flower pots but please how do I delete the extra flower pots my daughter doesn't need?
It makes revision a breeze! Are you going to make an app for the grammar? That would be great!
The bast to teach you child and in same time fan
My little can't use this, in fact I have tried and it is impossible to trace the letters the app doesn't allow for the slightest discrepancy and it is near on impossible to trace a letter. I can't comment on the rest if the app because we gave up. I'd like a refund please. I'll try and repurchase for ipso and see if it is any better.
Bit disappointed- don't think it was worth £4.99. Bought for my 3 year old daughter to help teach phonics. The letter tracing requires too much accuracy (even I found it frustrating!) And therefore not suitable for little hands who are learning to trace letters. Furthermore, there is an option for left handers and will say you are doing it incorrectly! My daughter started off enjoying the game, but quickly got frustrated and upset that she couldn't do the letter tracing.
