Smiley Sight Words 4+

Was glad to find this APP. We needed the ability to have more than one user. Good interface that the kids are enjoying. The reward ribbon helps keep them motivated. Have found a few bug issues and the program has crashed a few times, also would be nice to have it listed in the iPad software. The teach me kindergarten from this developer is much better than any program I have found for my kids, with some minor fixes this has the potential to be a Great program. If/when it is updated/fixed I would give 5 stars. I would love the app had a reward set up like the teach me kindergarten app, my kids go nuts for that one, but they are getting to old for it.

We have at least 6 other sight word apps, and this is by far the best!! It's an INSTANT HIT.

THE GOOD:
It's simple, easy to use, TONS of levels, encouraging, and repetitive. Even better... the ability to have multiple players, with their own skill levels...AND customize it with their own pictures is absolutely wonderful.

COUPLE OF SUGGESTIONS to the developers:
I recommend this app to ANYONE.... But you can't find it in the iPad apps. It was very hard to find. :( Do an update so you can easily find in the iPad apps section in the future.... IPad users will LOVE it. :)

In the next update, please make it more iPad friendly and be able to flip to the landscape view. I have my kids sit on the couch with their legs crossed and the iPad in their lap (I'm completely comfortable doing this IF it's in the landscape view, less so with it upright).

There's also some kinda bug when you're looking at the scores/word list, or something (sorry don't remember exactly where), but there is no back button. You have to completely exit the app to get out of it. BUT this doesn't take away from this being a 5 star app for me.

WE LOVE IT.... THANK YOU FOR A GREAT APP!

Paper flash cards were okay for my daughter (6) but didn't inspire her to learn her words. We found this app we both love it. I can create custom lists based on the word lists her teacher sends home. I also liked that I could consolidate just the words she needed to learn. She likes earning "thumbs up" and "wings" after she gets it right three times in a row. It's not an app that a kid should do alone since they have the ability to mark thumbs up or down themselves but I would definitely recommend for kids who maybe don't learn as well with old-school paper things.
