| 2024-06-06 |  | | This game needs work on speech recognition and needs a way to allow the child to try and sound out words. It also could be a little more forgiving with timing, as it only gives my son maybe 2 seconds to read a word sometimes before it jumps in and tells him he is wrong. Half the words he says right are recorded as wrong answers too. There has to be a better way to decipher whether the player is saying the word that is being asked of them or not. Could be good if they can figure this stuff out. |
| 2024-03-22 |  | | Awful. My daughter reads beautifully, no speech impediment and clear. And all she hears is wrong, try saying it like this. Talk about frustration for a young one. |

| 2023-08-31 |  | | As a teacher I can't get the app to register my reading. One of my students was reading the words and getting only 2/11, so I tried it and I got a bunch of words wrong because it didn't realize I was saying it. Disappointed because the little hero is so cute and funny when you read right. |
| 2021-04-27 |  | | My son loves the concept of this game. It's a fun way to practice his sight words. Unfortunately the app still needs work. There were a bunch of times where he read the correct word but the app didn't recognize it. Some of the words that didn't work include up, if, sit, keep, cut and pick. If I read the word, it understood me but it seems like it has a hard time with a kid's voice on certain words. My son got frustrated when it didn't give him credit for the correct word. |
| 2021-02-21 |  | | It didn't understand anything my child said. It kept saying he was wrong when he was completely correct. |
| 2019-06-15 |  | | this is a great idea to use voice recognition to check kids reading however my 4-year-old kid pronounces words imperfectly and the app does not recognize it when he reads a word correctly. also the app stops listening after the kid stays silent for 10 seconds. He also needs to read out loud the sounds of the word first before he can combine the sounds into a complete word, and the app recognizes individual sounds as incorrect word. I think you should work on this great idea to make it work. |
| 2019-06-08 | | | great app for non native speakers to hone pronunciation |
