Phonics Island • Letter Sounds App Reviews

This game is great and my kids love it! They love tracing the letters, putting the animals in the train cars, and my almost 2 year old son absolutely loves to pop the balloons. One problem that I have noticed with the game is on level 6. When you get to the second part of placing animals in the train cars it asks for the animals that begin with either Q, Y, or Z, but there is only one animal that begins with the letter asked for. Once you choose that animal, the game either freezes or there is no other animal to choose from so you cant complete the game. If this could be fixed, that would be great.

Said the product was 66% off but was charged full price.

I bought the full version n the screen freezes on level 6 they need to get that bug fixed other then that my son loves this app! :)

My son loves this app, but ours also keeps freezing up on level 6, 5th star. Wed like to be able to play the whole thing. Restarting doesnt help.

I purchased this app for my nephew whos been having trouble learning to read. I wanted him to practice more, but I also wanted him to have fun while doing it so that he only has positive associations with reading. Im so glad that I got this app for him. His reading skills have improved visibly in the past few weeks and I can tell that he has a lot of fun using this app.

My son absolutely loved this app. He kept wanting to reach the last level so he could get the big prize. However when he had 4 stars left to complete on level 6 the app got stuck and he could not progress any further. I tried rebooting both the app and iPad to no avail. Now he has lost complete interest.

My son was loving this and learning quite a bit, until he reached a certain level and was no longer able to drag the characters where the game instructed him to. It was like the screen froze, but the audio was still working. Big disappointment and frustrating for a five year old. Hope they fix this!

We Enjoyed the App, however, the screen freezes on level 6, 5th star. There appears to be several complaints/alerts to this back from back in March and problem has not yet been remedied. Somewhat disappointing. We would have considered puchasing more Apps from here but will postpone until problem is remedied.

Please fix the bugs. I love this app for my 3 year old learning letters and sounds. We just purchased and started using the purchased level and it bugged out and kept telling him he was wrong or repeating same letters. Frustrating. I hope you fix it soon if so I would recommend for any little ones.

My son and I absolutely LOVE this app! I purchased it in hopes for the entire alphabet, well sad to say it freezes every time on level 6. My son is getting frustrated not being able to move on, as am I. I will update my review the second I can use the app I purchased! Thanks

Love this app but freezes on level 6 when trying to drag the Yak into the train. Please fix this bug.

My son was in level 6 and it got to the place where you put the animals with the correct sounding the train and it jams! He put the 1 st Q word (animal) in the train but when he went to put the 2nd one in, it kept asking the question but the screen was not allowing him to do anything. We went back out and started over but same exact problem. Please fix this as it is very annoying and makes it impossible to finish to the rest of the game! Mom of4yr old

As someone who is a huge fan of the Montessori Method of learning, I was ecstatic to find that Phonics Island Adventure impliments it into their app. This app is packed with adorable animals and illustrations which kids will love. The fact that the developer is almost always adding new things is awesome, as well! This is definitely a great app thats highly recommended for parents of youngsters who are learning how to read!

Worth every penny!!! Amazing and easy to use!! My sister has been learning sounds like never before :)

My kids absolutely love this app and I can honestly say that Phonics Island Adventure is probably the best out there! My children are so inspired by the bright colors, user friendly interface and rewards this app presents. My kids think they are playing an awesome game while at the same time they are learning their letter sounds by associating it to their favorite animals and more. My kids love the newest update which includes new learning games such as tracing letters and identifying letters by sound! I highly recommend this app to any parents or teachers looking for a new and intellectual way to teach their children letter sounds!

Update: Thanks for adding more new features! We just love that this educational app has a story to go along with all the learning fun! The graphics are so cute, and the sections are broken up into manageable amounts, which is nice with shorter attention spans :) very fun way to learn the letters and sounds in upper and lower case, well worth the purchase!

My daughter plays this app all the time. She loves the game where she can pop the balloons with letters on them as well as the one where she puts animals whose name begins with a particular letter into the train. I am a demanding parent when it comes to high-quality educational media for children and I am more than happy that I downloaded this app for my 4-year-old daughter. The app is very engaging and easy to use for her, and she has already learned almost all the letter sounds. If like me you have a child who is just beginning to read, Phonics Island is the way to go to get them started. Letter sounds are pronounced clearly and you have the option to choose either uppercase or lowercase letters. In sum, this is a fantastic app!

This app is engaging and educational to the kids who need it most. It wont take long for your kids to become hooked on phonics - and thats a guarantee! The app is very cute and kid-friendly, youll love it too!

Just bought this app today hoping to reinforce my daughters excitement to learn read. Great at first, but the letter tracing activity was very frustrating for my 4 1/2 old and myself. We would follow the dots to trace the letter correctly and 1 out of 10 times it worked. My daughter became so frustrated in one day of having it she no longer wants to learn/ play this app. Wish I could get my money back.

It says there is a 66% discount today in the description but that did not apply???
