Smiley sight words

Thank you for another great program... I have purchased 3 of your programs and love them all... Looking forward to more great apps from you!! Any thoughts on an app like this for building sentences??? Cheers!!!

Helped

It helped my brother

Awesome app for my son

Love this app! My son has so much fun with it, he doesnt even realize that hes learning. Well worth the $1!

We LOVE it!!!!

We have at least 6 other sight word apps, and this is by far the best!! Its an INSTANT HIT. THE GOOD: Its 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 cant 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 (Im completely comfortable doing this IF its in the landscape view, less so with it upright). Theres also some kinda bug when youre looking at the scores/word list, or something (sorry dont remember exactly where), but there is no back button. You have to completely exit the app to get out of it. BUT this doesnt take away from this being a 5 star app for me. WE LOVE IT.... THANK YOU FOR A GREAT APP!

Very good

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.

Perfect

This was perfect for my 2nd grade class. Thanks so much.

Great app and great support

I have been using this app to work with my first grader and kindergartner and they both really enjoy it. As a parent I find it very helpful in getting them prepare for spelling and vocabulary tests using the customize feature. I am unaware of any other word application with this many features and would recommend it to anyone who has little ones in school.

Smiling

This app is fantastic! Utilizing the flexibility of the customized lists & the ability to choose specific words from the pre set lists; this app can be tweaked to present words from a phonetic focus -instead of sight memorization. Today we did words with the "e" sound and my daughter enjoyed sounding out the unfamiliar words, then self checked her answer by touching the word & listening to it voiced back. She gave herself the smiley face with joy! 1500+ words to choose from, and I didnt have to type any of them.

Makes learning fun!

Love this app. My kindergartener is loving all the different lists. Her confidence with her reading is through the roof! I wish this was around when my other children were learning their sight words!

One of the best Sight Word Apps out there

One of the most customizable Sight Word apps available. Can finally create a list to match what is being taught in class during that week. Over 1,500 words included ... no need to buy add on packages. Able to setup 5 accounts with different levels of difficulty (using with two girls K and 2nd). Would get 5 stars if you could type additional words into the database and add sounds and images.

Disappointed

Bought this to make a customized list for my son. Started to input his list from school and only 12 of the first 24 are in the system. Now I have to buy something else. May be useful when I try other lists already in there...

What a let down!

I thought this was going to be perfect for my kindergarten class but what am I supposed to do with 5 profiles? I cant even buy more. This stinks

My daughter is reading!

We are homeschoolers and my daughter struggles to read. This app has proven to be the single best resources for her. She has mastered 9 lists in less than a week. We love this app!!

UNBEATABLE!!!!

This is the best app on the market for teaching children. Its great for teaching my kindergarten class. The creators listened and now its capable of up to 30 profiles. Awesome job. Wish I could give it 10 STARS!!!!

Great app!

Just found this and love it! Was able to customize lists for my twins who are in Kindergarten. Only thing I wish I could do is add words to the list that arent in the main list. My girls have word families on their sight word lists from school and words like tip, sip, dip or jog, hog, fog arent in there. Add that and this would make a 5 star app!

Amazing!!

I love this app! My sons teacher has been using it and thanks to this new update she can use it for her whole class not just those who need RTI. I just started using it with my reading kids as well and I cant say enough good things about it!!

Works great

My 1st grader loved it. Saves me the time of making flash cards. Found out the teach was using the exact same program.

Love this app. Has made a difference!

My son is now so much more confident!! He has moved Head and Shoulders above his classmates .... From a previous place of struggle!

Potential to be great!

I would give this five stars immediately if not for the following.... 1. I want to be able to choose the icon for a missed word. Some kids dont mind the sad face and others are defeated after the first time you touch the sad face and cry. I want to pick from a list of generic icons and code the missed responses myself. They accept their mistakes more readily when they dont see a huge sad face when they make a mistake. 2. Sometimes I want to go through all missed words at once without having to go to each different set to find them. I want a master list of missed words that includes all from each set for each child. If this is already possible, please point it out to me. Fix the above and I will recommend this to everyone I know!

4 stars

This sight word app is great, very useful. Especially I like the app because I can see the progress of my children by thumps up or down. There are only 2 things which will make me give 5 stars 1-if I can put the sight word that this does not have; 2-if I can name the custom list.
