"This game is the absolute best quality phonics game I have come across for educational and fun value."
Marie Lewis, Rochdale

“My class have reaped loads of benefits from using the programme and the difference in some of their reading skills has been dramatic."

"This is a fabulous game. I'm not kidding when I say that my daughter essentially learned all her letter sounds using First steps, with relatively minimal input from me! Great for parents to practise their letter sounds too."

I purchased this app for 12 but it is super buggy. My 4-year-old was playing one of the games with sounding out the letters but it kept telling him his answers were incorrect even though they weren't

Rating this as 2 stars for moving to a subscription model. Should have created a new app instead of updating the current app.

DO NOT BUY The product is moving to a subscription model and you will lose your money. Just got an email about this. It's an absolutely wonderful program, and I've bought it multiple times on multiple devices but in 45 days all of that money goes in the garbage.

After paying for the game, this developer force switches paid users into a subscription model. They should have released their subscription game as a distinct, separate product instead of screwing paid customers. They have excuses for their bad behavior, justifying it with "but now it's free for schools!" (but they're hoping kids will play at school and bug their parents to download the game and until they pay for the outlandish subscription at home). Don't download, don't buy, don't pay.
