Glitches – Hooked on Phonics Learn & Read Review

Newest update: The new version is so terrible. It’s hard to move to his current level we are on from using the at home boxed set. How do we match up where we are at on the boxed set to this current version of the app? It’s so confusing to figure out where we are at, his progress, etc. This has completely undermined the value of our lifetime purchase and $200 we spent on the program because it doesn’t match up well at all, it isn’t complementing what we already have or where we are at. The old version MADE SENSE, it was clear and user friendly. This one doesn’t make sense and I’m okay with apps changing and being revamped, but I’m dying to have the old app back. It feels so random now when it comes to using the boxed set along with this app. How do we match up the app with the level 5 workbook? Update: Now has deleted all of his progress and his user entirely. We liked this app in the past, but we just picked up doing it again and it keeps glitching then losing our son’s progress. To where he suddenly has to try again to unlock each thing just to get to where he was. It’s sucking the joy out of his hard work having to do this and then it just glitches and goes even FURTHER back in levels. So he loses his stars and accomplishments from level 4 on. He was so motivated and enthusiastic to complete his goal today and kept trying even when it glitched and meant he had to go over things that were easy for him again, but after it sent him back to level 4 I just told him to wait until it can get fixed. This is his week off of school and he’s doing fantastic on his reading and so excited, it will be sad if this can’t be resolved ASAP and he can’t do it the rest of the week. It’s only Tuesday. ?‍♀️ This was expensive and I see from other reviews it was happening in September as well. It apparently hasn’t been fixed and it’s now nearing the end of November.
