Subscriptn program. Past review: Seems to be a complete games based reading program. synthetic phonics. Games: simple, not too long, fun & varied. Rewards. Different methods of teachg. DONT LIKE: 1) in Australia, 'a' before 'n/m' says 'air' NOT 'a'. I had to teach this rule before i wanted to so that we could go on with program. 2) child was progressing well in the basic sounds/words when suddenly given words like: 'was/the' before being taught 'th' or 'a after w says o' rule. Cant go on.

I'm pleased to hear you like the games! Regarding the issues: 1. the first 'a' should be the /a/ sound, not /air/. Maybe you have the wrong accent on your account. Please email us to check: info@phonicshero.com 2. These are high frequency words that need to be learnt in order to progress to reading sentences: https://phonicshero.com/camera-words/

The app doesn't work on an android phone. It let's you log in and then it only let's you see part of the screen which is frozen.

Hi Jen, so sorry about this. The app is only meant to be used on a compatible Android tablet. It shouldn't be available for download on a phone and we are currently looking into the issue. If you have any further questions about the app or games, please do send us an email (info@phonicshero.com) Best, The Phonics Hero Customer Service Team

If you have a modern phone this app does not display correctly and you can not use it. Very disappointed as my daughter's school will be using this substandard app to aid with her education.
