Reading Eggs - Learn to Read

Really good app. Some of the choices of pictures are poor, verbs instead of nouns as a starting point to learn phonetics seems odd as they are hard to pictorialise. Some are hard even for me to tell. It works and seems very enjoyable though. My 4 year old loves it and after 3 weeks is reading 3 word sentences. tars. But after new update it won't open. Cheers

The app has stopped working after the new update!! I hope they fix it soon.

great learning game but crashes constantly and closes down

Since this most recent update two day's ago the app no longer work's!

Great app but freezes alot which is frustrating for my 7 year old daughter. The app freezes so we have to keep closing the app to move into the next lesson. My daughter loses interest as it happens a few times during her Reading Eggs sessions. If the issue is sorted, it would be incredible, she would be able to focus and concentrate more on her lessons. Otherwise a great app for learning.

My daughter loves reading eggs, math seeds and fast phonics. Reading eggs has helped her immensely to learn to read and with the addition of fast phonics, it has helped her to improve her pronunciation. The biggest problem I have is with the app itself. After she completes a lesson it sometimes freezes, especially in reading eggs. The only way I've found to fix it is by shutting down the app and restarting it which is frustrating when my daughter is in the middle of something and has to start over. Some of the lessons are a bit repetitive but she hasn't seemed to mind. If the developer could fix the issue with the app freezing up then you would get 5 stars from me.

Although I thought the educational content of this game was great, it requires too much manual dexterity. This, not the instruction, was the source of my child's frustration. Many of the interaction points were extremely small. A lot of the time, this was clearly an intentional design choice. There was a ton of blank space on the screen, so the designers could have easily made buttons larger. Maybe this game is okay on s tablet, but it is unusable for a small child on a phone.

My almost 4 year old begs to use this every day. He has come on leaps and bounds, he genuinely enjoys the challenges and gets so excited when it's time for a new egg to hatch, a quiz, a new certificate. Our only issue is that some of the cut scenes freeze his tablet and we have to close and re-enter the app to carry on, it only adds maybe 20 seconds when it happens but it's a nuisance. But that may be down to the tablet rather than the app. Overall, a firm favourite that I'm happy to pay for!

The game is a fabulous program of reading and math. But the free version is full of bugs, constantly freezes itself and my phone. Very frustrating for my 4 year old and me! That's why 2 stars. UPDATE : I got a free trial option so reinstalled it. I click play on FAST PHONICS, choose the level, then a blue screen appears and doesnt go away. I have to shut the game and restart. My tech specs are fine. I was considering buying the mthly subscription but am hesitant now.

Signed up originally for the 30 day free trial. It is a good tool, albeit a little too repetitive. However as the many other reviews have also said, it constantly freezes! You have to shut it down and reopen and hope you haven't lost your level progress!! We have access on several up-to-date devices with stable internet connection and the issue continues. For the premium subscription I'd expect better to be honest. Will be cancelling at the end of the free trial unfortunately due to this.

Really like the idea of this app but it is unusable in it's current form with the constant freezing so we will not be subscribing. Hopefully the developers are addressing the issues as the actual program is great, just doesn't work technically. Have checked tech specs and we are way above minimum requirements, there are definitely bugs in the software.

One can see a lot of work has gone into this app. People who know properly how to teach reading developed the concept. My daughter really enjoys collecting the eggs by doing the exercises, which are funny and divers. I can also see that her reading has improved. What I don't like are all the distractions within the app. Yes, some games and fun in between are fine. But I think a bit less of this would have been better.

Reading eggs is a great program and is working well for my daughter but the app has a few problems. The volume is inconsistent so you have to adjust it frequently. The app lags in some activities and freezes at the end of others so you have to restart it a few times each lesson. I'm hoping these issues will be fixed.

Highly recommended! Living in a non-English speaking country and struggling with sending the kids to after school English lessons, ReadingEggs is a lifesaver. All my kids love it - (ages 5-9). It's a fantastic program and at every turn keeps on surprising with new features. Only confusion was we thought in the beginning that it had to be an app on an android/ios device and we weren't that thrilled about it but turned out that it doesn't have to be! We find it much much easier to use on PC and we love it!

I would love to give a higher rating however the constant freezing is ridiculous. I've contacted support but instead of admitting the app has issues they told me the tablet probably didn't meet specifications. I had confirmed that it was well within all specifications before even contacting support. The program is wonderful but we have barely been able to use it recently. We have the most recent update yet it still froze 6 times in 10 minutes. Please do something about this.

The program itself is great and my 6 year old and 3 year old both love it. I am currently on the trail version and think we will be doing the monthly subscription, however the app constantly freezes, showing a big black screen while the audio continues. Our device meets the specifications so I have no clue why this happens. Both on the app and the website (yes, while using the latest version of chrome). Please fix ASAP. I also think the app title should have mathseeds in it.

Both my 5 year old and my 6 year old love Maths Seeds, Fast Phonics and Reading Eggs. Some of the games can drag on a bit and these lose interest (I realise the importance of repetition but sometimes it's a fine line between that and boredom) but, for the most part, this is an excellent resource. Definitely the best one we've tried and we've subscribed for another year without hesitation.

Great when it works, but as more people seem to be finding, it just doesn't work very well once you get out of Reading Eggs Junior. It's a technically undemanding app, but crashes and hangs all the time. As a piece of advice re customer service, perhaps take some time to look at your coding instead of blaming the power of people's devices (of which ours meets the requirements). There are problems with the app, take that onboard before it really starts to impact your business.

Some of the content is great, if you can get to it. The navigation is awful - it's unclear what all the different categories represent, and everything takes AGES to load. Also, every time we try to get to the lessons my daughter has to retake the placement test. We've tried the same test three times this week, and it's very long and INCREDIBLY boring. Presumably this is a bug, but there's about 30 questions, and they're way beyond a six year old's capability - it's upsetting for her

The app itself is fantastic and I can't recommed it enough to help phonic and reading development. My little one really struggled until we signed up and since then, has complete soared through and doesnt grimmace at the sight of words. Only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because of the constant freezing and crashing recently, which has started to put my little one off using it.

I have only experienced a few times when it freezes or doesn't keep a child's records of what they have done. The worst part is actually being told they are willing to help by phone... they don't answer and can't leave a message. Live chat... no one is ever there. Or e-mail... which problems can not be fixed by. It is disappointing when you really think highly of an app (with the freezes and all) but have poor experience with customer service.

I really like the content of this app and it holds my 3 year old's attention for a long time. She learns lots from it as evidenced by her reading outside the app. It is quite buggy though with frequent crashes and glitches and impossible to get through to support. I also think I places it is too sensitive. We work through lessons together but often, especially with the books, if you touch the screen by mistake to point to a letter it registers a wrong answer or it flips the page. Annoying.

It's a great learning app BUT it constantly crashes and is super slow to load between each activity. My son and I get frustrated with the strikes out when getting things wrong. Ex. Picking the letter on the board. Three strikes for the double activity. He gets through the first with maybe a strike because he accidentally hit the wrong letter. On to the second part, gets one wrong or accidentally bumps wrong letter....you have to start the WHOLE activity over. He gets frustrated and quits.

My 3 and 5year olds love it! They enjoy the activities and are leaving a lot about math and reading, but also how to use the computer and working on some motor skills. We have tried ABC Mouse and Abeka, but this has worked the stuck best with my very hyperactive kids. We will continue to use. The only downside is that my 3yo seems to pass the tests, but I find that he doesn't exactly know the material well enough as the test would suggest. That is something that could use some work.

It's a great app and my kids are showing some good learning developments. One little annoying thing though : volume level fluctuates a lot. i.e. lessons start with low voice and go up suddenly. First 10-20 seconds of the lessons are usually quieter. This need a constant controlling of the device volume. Would be great if you could fix it

As a mother of a 5 year old and a 3 year old, and as an English teacher, I cannot recommend this app highly enough. We have steered clear of apps and tablets for our girls, however when I discovered this app, and after a successful free trial, we allow both of them set time with supervision, and both are excelling in their literacy skills. Our 3 year old is sounding out, blending, knowing words by sight (rapidly catching up with her sister who is in school), and both girls really enjoy the app.

It's a good app, however I'm experiencing the same issues that another reviewer has mentioned. The app crashes a lot, and freezes on between learning activities. Some times you can here the audio instruction playing but the screen has not moved on the the correct page. It freezes at the end of certain tasks. It is not my device or internet connection that is causing this. I have to go to setting and close the app every time it cracked and restart the app.
