What Users Love About the App
“I am a 20 year veteran special education teacher that found this at a reading seminar. It looks great and isn’t decked out with too many “whistles and bells”.”
“I really like this app and it helps with my reading skills.”
“My 7 year old likes the app.”
What Users Dislike About the App
“It won’t save her stars for the levels after 4. It’s very frustrating because our goal is for 3 stars on each level and now we have to just remember what level she’s on and how many stars she got. Please fix this! I feel like we paid for nothing!”
“The stories are incomplete. The read aloud goes further than the actual viewed passage, but both end without a complete story. Disappointing. Enough so that it makes me hesitant to upgrade to the paid version.”
“There are only 4 free levels which took my 7 year old daughter less than 5 minutes to complete. I’m guessing it would take her about 30 minutes to complete the next 26 levels and the upgrade costs $8.99. I would consider the upgrade if it was $.99 or offered a couple hundred levels for the $8.99. Not a good value!”
“There are only 30 levels and when I got to the end I didn’t know what to do and I don’t know what to do with my coins either.”
“I wish the upgrade was cheaper or that more levels were offered for $8.99.”
