My six year old loves Phonics Hero. It's really helped her to learn to read and spell. Highly recommended!

I was introduced to Phonics Hero through my eldest child's school. I signed up my second child, (4 and 10 months) a few months ago. He has been using PH since he learnt most phonemes at preschool. The app is great, he loves it and has progressed to blending letters. My son calls it "fun". Initially, i would sit with him to help him get the jist of each activity, now minimal supervision required. I've recommended Phonics Hero to friends. Also, Michelle & Kate were helpful with an enquiry recently

It is fun and a great structure. My 5 year old wants to keep playing as the games are short enough but engaging enough. The test and a couple of the games don't fit on this device's screen very well. I understand it's a trial but now can't find out how long the trial is or how much it is to upgrade.

Unstable program. Keep having to reinstall it every few minutes. Inadequate program for education.

Downloaded this on my Samsung tablet for my child's homeschooling as I have been told to do so by her teacher. Cannot log in keeps saying request denied for security. Checked my settings and all have been accepted yet this still does not work. Worse app I have come across so far when it is for children and should work on its website not just on the app
