The moving animals are so cool and it's good that the letter sounds are said. However, using the wrong letter sounds and wrong examples for the letter sounds used would confuse a children who are just starting to learn how to read. This app is nice but needs some corrections. I regret that I bought this. Whoever made this obviously did not consult a reading specialist or even a teacher. The hard /g/ was used for the letter sound but used the soft /g/ as an example - giraffe. Better use G gorilla. For letter /i/ same thing. Could have used I iguana. Octopus or ostrich would be better example for the letter O. The /r/ got bad rolling sound in the UK version. It sounded like /w/. Unicorn starts with the long /u/ sound so it's not good example for the letter sound used. Umbrella fish would match the short vowel sound that was used for the letter U. Vultures scream, they do not make a sound of a man yawning. The /ks/ sound should be used for the letter X and the /z/ for Z. I hope they would correct the mistakes and update the app.
