## Review summary

Secret Sight Words offers strong customizable word lists, progress tracking across users, and a game-like, multi-skill approach with audio and visual cues. However, reviewers repeatedly note a steep, unclear onboarding process, a start-gating requirement for labeled items, occasional device bugs, and some billing concerns, which can hinder quick adoption despite its educational value.

### Pros

- Ability to customize/add your own sight words
- Progress tracking and support for multiple users/workstations
- Multiskill phonics/sight word practice with engaging game-like format
- Audio/visual cues and self-correcting feedback (tap pictures to hear names; words read aloud)

### Cons

- Difficult setup/onboarding and a not-intuitive start
- Gating requirement: at least one labeled item on the board to begin
- Occasional device-specific bugs or reliability issues (e.g., iPad errors)
- Billing/charge concerns (some users report being charged)
