Fun but needs different games

CandLH

My kids like this but they quickly got annoyed with having to do the same game over and over a ton of times. They “games” are pretty boring too. My daughter loves all the songs though. I also wish there was an option for the app to read the book to them in the pre-readers section. They are just learning their letters and the books are very difficult for that age.

So disappointed was really excited to try this app for my toddler but unfortunately it keeps loading and asking me to update without opening the app.

Worth it!! Reading in 3 weeks.

My five year old son had been in “Phonics” after school class two times a week for a few months for just 30 mins each session. I found that he was making very little progress and the activities he was doing did not hold his attention. Then after his school shut down due to COVID in April, I got him all sorts of learning books in order to prepare him for Kindergarten. He wasn’t too much interested in those. I decided to download the Hooked on Phonics app since it was just $1 for the first month. Let me tell you, I was a bit skeptical at first about the claims they were making that my son would be reading in a month. But to my amazement within three weeks he was reading. Now he’s reading everything and is definitely ready for Kindergarten and I couldn’t be happier. I must admit that some of the reviews almost made me not give the app a try, but I’m glad I did. Thank you Hooked on Phonics.

Absolutely the Solution for Many

My eldest child is gifted and my younger possibly struggles with dyslexia. HOP has worked wonders for both children. My first child was completely independent with it back when it came in CD form and she taught herself to read at the age of 3! My son who is 6.5 and is struggling is not fighting the lessons and is delighted by the online content. I can’t say enough for this wonderful app. Worth the money any day of the week.

Never has loaded

I’ve paid for a subscription for 4 months now and the app will not get past 40% of loading on any device we have. I’ve tried uninstalling and reinstalling, I’ve tried on a total of 5 devices as well as different houses in case it was the Internet. I have contacted HOP through their website with this issue several times as well and no one ever responds to me. Such a waste of money unfortunately.

Buggy

I want to love this app as its method really is helping my kid learn to read, but it’s SOOO buggy when it comes to remembering/saving my kid’s progress. He’s had to do the same lesson 5 times and the app refuses to acknowledge he’s completed it.

Fun but customer service lacking.

My daughter enjoys this. She is able to confidently read the books, there’s no annoying music during the books to distract her which is great unlike a lot of programs. She is able to project herself more confidently now. However we had an issue with a password, some system error, I called to have it resolved and the guy on the phone was really just plain rude. I could practically hear him rolling his eyes through the phone.

I had to give a star but really no stars

I taught two children to read using the older version. this new version is horrible. The upload is too slow to keep the attention of the children. I have given it some time and still cannot identify a path or how to determine when you have completed an area. They have sections but those have not as helpful as the outline path of the previous version. I realize there may be some aversion to change. But I am pretty adaptable if the change is greater than what was. This is all over the place and is taking longer for the children to learn to read. No stars.

Portly made login

I purchased this program to help my son start to learn to read well I got it setup and got into the app on my phone but for some reason it won’t let me login my account on my desktop I am very disappointed in the way this is setup and if it doesn’t get fixed soon I will get a refund I didn’t pay money to not be able to login on my computer and use the program poorly made login for sure
