Eggy Phonics 1 4+

This is useless as a phonics app. For example on level 1 when working with the word cat the first thing that happens is 3 pictures are shown, and one is a cat. You're asked to match the picture to the word cat. Not sure where the phonics practice is there really. The second thing is to spell the word cat. When you tap on the letters the letter NAME is announced and not the phonic sound!!! So for example, c 'see' a 'ay' and t 'tee'. If this were actually a phonics app it would announce the sound. You know, like, actual way phonics work..! Don't waste your money. I'm now going to see if jolly phonics do an iPad app.

If you hope to use this to support phonics learning, then best to avoid. I've not gone far in to the app, but disappointingly from the outset it uses letter names as a primary focus. To confuse things further, they are then mixed with phonic sounds - something which can be very confusing for young children starting out with phonics. Perhaps worst of all, the phonic pronunciations that are used are inaccurate (addition of "uh" sounds where these should be avoided). Some of the ideas in the app seem good, but it just has the potential to confuse children in its present form. Disappointing.

Still no sound to app. Looks like a known problem for 5 years and still not repaired. Hope apple remove this company and their fraudulent apps soon
