Sounds not quite accurate
KDelia85
I love the ease of the app and the idea of it, but the sounds are not single phonemes. I teach first and second grade phonics and couldn’t help but notice that many of the sounds have the schwa, or the “uh” sound added to it. For example, the letter S should not be /suh/, but just /s/. Also O and X are just incorrect. O should not be orange because in that instance O is being controlled by the R and its sound is changed. Instead, use a word like “octopus” to show the short sound of O. And X makes the /ks/ sound. Your phonics video does it correctly with the word “box” but this app uses “x-ray” instead. These inaccuracies may seem small, but they greatly impact a child’s reading when they’re being told to “sound it out.” Would love to see these issues corrected and then I would absolutely give this 5 stars.
Pay again?

My 18 month loves this app. It got deleted off my iPad. When I downloaded it again it’s telling me I need to pay again. I know it’s only $2.99 but why am I paying for the same thing?
Deceptive...Redirects to YouTube for more purchases..

I paid for the full version and while my granddaughter was playing it redirected her back to YouTube for another purchase...very deceptive practice!
So um...

My baby sister loves this but you need to be able to get all the alphabet without payment
Good app but buggy?!

My 3-yr-old used to love this app. But one day the graphics started messing up. When it comes time to trace the letter, the ladybug is huge compared to the letter, and also the letter is too big and extends below the grass bottom border. You can’t see the whole letter because the grass is in the way. My daughter asks me to move the grass but I can’t seem to get this to resize, I tried zooming, resetting, redownloading. Now she doesn’t want to play it anymore ?
Not free like they said

I downloaded this for my 2 yr old since he enjoys watching Dave and Ava so much on YouTube and the channel said this was free, so I was excited to try with him, it’s only free for the letters A B and C the rest you have to purchase.
Hidden in app purchases

Tells Children to hold colored button to unlock all letters. Even as an adult it is not clear that this is an in app purchase. Very shady. I deleted all of these apps immediately. Very sad as we love the Dave and Ava cartoons.
It ate my quarter

I paid $2.99 to unlock all letters for my son on my iPad. I figured the tracing app portion would become available too. It did not and the animations are still broken. I reloaded it hoping the problems might get fixed. That didn't work and worse yet, it forgot my purchase and now my son is stuck with a,b, and c again.
