Latest reviews of Ladybird: I’m Ready for Phonics with Captain Comet app for iPhone and iPad
The seven dollars spent on this app is a rip off. The pictures it gives you on the summary isnt what really comes with the app. You only get one level and the rest Is locked. The only pages that it shows you that you really get are the title page and the next page.
Levels can be manually unlocked by parents or when the child completes the level. Ive only given this three stars as Ive only seen level 1 so far. My 2 year old has been playing with this. Shes on the first level, and Ive not chosen to unlock further levels. My only complaint is that in Level 1, after selecting a letter there is a choice between two pics, its either or... She just selects one straight away without hearing the phonics sound. She maybe gets 70% of them. Maybe thats cos she recognizes the first letter, but then again shes 2yrs old and it could just be the luck of the multiple choice? Were yet to see the rest of the app, but I think level 1 could be improved with some automatic audio which plays upon selection of the letter - "find the picture with a fff sound."
I have never been able to get this app to work. It allows me to put in a name and it plays music, but nothing after that.
I buy this apps but never can make work , music play , but nothing work
Im sorry i did not take other reviews seriously. This app did not work at all. I sent message to,developer. I hope to,get a response
