Letter Tiles for Learning

I’ve read the most recent reviews and I can see why others may be hesitant to purchase the app, but I have had 0 issues with it and I’ve been using it for 7-8 months now. I use it on an iPad (9th generation) - I can see all the letter tiles and the app has never frozen or given me any issues. I would definitely recommend it over the physical letter tiles - it’s just easier and quicker. Apple does offer a refund if you’re unhappy with it so it’s worth a shot before you purchase the physical tiles.

This app is amazing and has a total game changer! It’s so much easier than the letter tiles and my son loves using the app. It’s so convenient having the sounds able yo be read aloud and that all the vowel teams and new sounds appear automatically with each lesson.

This app is terrible. I can’t even see all the letters on the screen. They are cut off. It looks like the app isn’t made correctly. Would love to “return” it and get a refund.

I really wish I did not pay for this app. It causes a lot of frustration as it let you switch out letters fluidly. I wish I had bought the physical letter tiles

Frustrated in the process of teaching your child to read? This will only make it worse

This has so much potential and we were excited to use it but the app is so frustrating. It froze on us 9 times during our lesson. Dragging the tiles was clunky, sometimes having to press multiple times to get it to go. Way overpriced for what you get.

I 've used this for several years and love this app. So much easier than keeping up with all the files!

UPDATE: I deleted app, and reinstalled, and now it works again. Hopefully this helps others who are having issues with missing tiles! We used this all the time as companion to the All About Spelling curriculum, but now it's missing tiles that we used to have before like VCE. Also missing everything from my newest lesson ER, AR, OR, OU, even though I selected the right level & lesson from the drop down. How am I supposed to teach the lesson if the tiles I need are missing??

I can’t believe they justify $20 for this. I like not worrying about losing the tiles but that’s about it. It’s frustrating to use. When trying to split words into syllables it should be possible to easily drag half of the word over, but you can’t. You have to pull one at a time and it takes so long that it doesn’t help with fluency. Most of the time I end up ditching the app for a white board. There should be a button to quickly delete the word. This app feels ancient and clunky.

When we try to drag the letter tile to the working space, it doesn’t stay. It takes 5-10 tries to move them and have them stay. It was very frustrating for my kindergartener and I.
