Phonics Genius Reviews

Can barely hear it!

by Asdtyiop

Sound isn’t audible at times. Very frustrating.

It would be awesome if it was fixed

It’s very helpful. However, the words change by touching the screen. This limits us to cover and teach the kids letter by letter. The words accidentally change by a gentle screen touch. It’s very annoying and limits all the good things about PhonicsGenius.
Adding one option to change the words by screen sliding than touching will greatly help.

I don’t know if it’s just my phone or what but I can hear any of the word played back. I can hear them faintly but that’s it.

When I exit PhonicsGenius other apps are super loud and clear. I tried killing and re-launching PhonicsGenius . Even deleted and re-installed it.

Shame because looks like it would’ve been real helpful for my son.

So disappointed that the playback mode stopped working. Tech department treated me like a moron, insisting that I didn't have the sound and mic settings right on my iPad. They stopped responding when I told them all my other apps with mics and sound worked fine. A wasted product for the intended use.

Sound doesn’t work and support doesn’t reply

Very very poor sound quality. You can not even hear in full volume. Disappointed. Not sure how to request refund.

I have tried multiple time to use PhonicsGenius. The sound is inconsistent. I can’t tell if it’s frozen or broken.

Got PhonicsGenius for my daughters. Have only ever gotten the sound to play once. Very disappointing.

Despite of having a speaker icon, PhonicsGenius does not say/speak the words.

I can't spell sings on you, I cannot believe that I can spell 6 to 9

Don't like how you make personal list

I cannot get PhonicsGenius to combine or copy lists as it advertised. It also asked me to rate PhonicsGenius FIVE times within my first ten minutes of use. It still continually asks for a rating.

hold the interest of my 6 year old son. The content is spot on (5 Stars)and there could be loads of learning going on here if my son were even just a little more engaged by earning something! Haha! Anything —Stars, points, cash to by some virtual something...he like to win things. While great content the game application of finding the right word of six words just drones on with the words, great, perfect or good job. Cool sounds would also add to raising the engagement factor as well. Great app just need some swagger to engage a savvy audience!! Engagement score (1 Star) combined with content score (5 stars) to come up with a total rating of 3

My 5 y.o little girl is struggling in kindergarten because Portuguese is my first language and it is very hard for me to make her believe in my English . I bought a letter factory from Leap Frog to help "us" practice the phonics and it did helped a lot, but my little one is having a hard time putting them together.
When I downloaded PhonicsGenius I read all the reviews and decided to give a shot. I'm very surprised on how it is divided in groups of sounds and the first group we worked was the magic e (made), Chloe got the hang of it after the fifth word and she IS reading the words in that group.
The only thing I didn't like is that the audio doesn't give the child the chance to try by herself first because it says the word as soon as she clicks on it. I fixed that by putting my phone on mute and she can change that when she is done trying to ready, so it's only to check if she ready correctly. Besides that I really liked PhonicsGenius :)

I’m a speech therapist that uses PhonicsGenius to work on articulation of speech-for example the “sh” sound in the suffix “tion”. By showing the words while asking the child to read or imitate the child can practice saying the word correctly and at the same time improve reading and understanding of the meaning of some prefixes and suffixes. Love the breadth of phonics groups on PhonicsGenius! I do not use features such as creating your own lists which in the past has been buggy. Regardless I love PhonicsGenius.

There are three sounds the vowel blend 'ea' can make and PhonicsGenius is missing one. The vowel blend 'ea' can also make the long A sound as in the words "great", "break", and "steak".

PhonicsGenius is a great companion for anyone teaching with the Abeka Phonics curriculum. There are so many fun ways to study and teach with this.
