We used the Phonics App to help my daughter with her year 1 screening. It was brilliant and she gained full marks on her assessment. Thank you so much

Very good, but…
The narrator has just the slightest British accent. The phonics on vowels ‘o’ and ‘u’ in particular are slightly off compared to American accents and it causes some confusion with my son. We worked through it. Overall it’s a very good app. If they fixed those two vowels for American english or gave a couple accent options to choose from I’d give it 5 stars
Brilliant app
Great app, my 3 year old is reading lots of cvc words now.
Schwa
Teacher and parent to a keen 3 year old. Thought this app would be a great way to help introduce the sounds and give my son a solid foundation for starting his reading journey. Unfortunately, a lot of letters are not pronounced correctly as they have the schwa for example, the letter g is pronounced g-uh. Look up schwa for clarification. This type of basic pronunciation error at the foundation stage of reading will cause all sorts of reading and spelling problems later down the road. Good concept, wanted to love it but some real errors on the pronunciation means I will not be using it.
A supportive app
My daughter enjoys the phonics app which has in turn helped her confidence both with phonics, words and sounds. There are some sounds which are different to what she does at school but we are mindful of that. The main point is she wants to do it and enjoys the variety and the flexible nature of going through the sections and picking and choosing what she wants to work on. Thank you.
Pointless without subscribing
I was really excited for this app and was on the wait list. But it’s pointless without subscribing and paying monthly or yearly. What a disappointment. I’d have happily paid for the app, but I think a subscription is too much!
Filly
This is so helpful thank you
Best App
My son has learned how to read. All thanks to the app, it's fantastic, excellent value for the price. And excellent customer service
Amazing phonics
I really love this app because it helps my child understand phonics really well!
Brilliant app
My son is enjoying so much and it's really helping him
Outstanding!
I can’t recommend this app highly enough, it’s exactly what adults & children need to learn phonics! Without all the gimmicky screen stuff so ideal for low screen users. I have recommended this to everyone I know & I will continue to!! Phonics without the pressure of watching a whole course is ideal for a busy parent. To be honest, I’m learning so much along side my child! Thank you so much!!
Amazing
So helpful for phonics learning
Excellent resource
Very useful simple app to help early years reading skills. Recommended.
