User Reviews

Reviewers praise a structured, progressive reading program that teaches phonics and blending, boosts confidence, and keeps kids engaged through games and rewards. However, stability issues, limited content, and the subscription pricing are the most commonly cited drawbacks.

Pros

Structured, progressive phonics and blending lessons that help kids learn to sound out and read.
Improves confidence and motivation; kids go from struggling to reading with confidence.
Engaging, interactive games and rewards keep kids interested and reinforce lessons.
Short, bite-sized daily lessons (~10 minutes) that fit homeschooling and busy schedules.
Works well for homeschooling and supports classroom learning, with visible progress across ages 4-7.

Cons

Stability issues: app freezes and occasionally runs slowly, interrupting sessions.
Not enough content: program ends after a limited number of lessons; users want more levels.
Subscription-based pricing: recurring cost can feel expensive; users want a one-time purchase option or longer access without renewals.

Tried the trial for 7 or 14 days but was given the 1 yr subscription option. Before trial ends, tried to cancel but still charged with a yr of subscription which is $81. Apple told us that free trial was only 1 day and not 7 or 14 days. Now we have to pay it because it won't let us download any other app. Don't fall for this. My son is not even interested of using the app. It's a big scam. We got scammed!

My youngest started this at 4 years old and it has taken us 8 months to get through. The pacing is great, the games and interactive learning is so much fun and, most importantly, my newly 5 year old is reading chapter books. She’s absolutely at a 2nd grade reading level- the program does not lie! It’s worth every penny! We are so impressed with it! My little girl read two whole Junie B Jones chapter books from her older sisters collection yesterday- just on her own, barely needed any help aside from funny sounding names of characters. (Those are 3rd grade and up levels apparently) We are absolutely shocked! Just give the program a try, you won’t regret it!
