Secret Stories Phonics Reading for Negative User Reviews

✓ Cannot share with learners or mirror on Apple TVI use this curriculum at my school. I was hoping to use this app to help my virtual learners. The pictures do not show up when I share my screen or when I mirror my phone to my class Apple TV. I feel like I wasted my money. Please provide an update so I can use this app..Mrs. Brown 2022Version: 1.1.2

✓ Great tool but not the app I wantedI wanted to be able to share the screen with my tutoring students and have the songs at hand. Too bad they all disappeared when I was in sharing mode. This would have made for a powerful tool. I’m not sure why that s so when I paid just as much for the PowerPoint that also didn’t look the way it’s presented. Dissatisfied in this app. But not the stories..Poor plannerVersion: 1.2.1

✓ GlitchesThe song is glitching at the letter Jj. Please fix it!.BigiphonefanVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Not worth the moneyDefinitely NOT worth 30$. I bought to support my child at home with the Secret Story curriculum being taught in school. But literally all it is is the same basic stories and alphabet that they learn in class. No additional games, activities or extension of learning. Very disappointed..Hasnt worked since i got itVersion: 1.3.1

✓ App will not work with screen sharingI purchased this app with the hopes of using it with my kids on Zoom. I have the full curriculum but since I am teaching from my home I am not able to display all the posters. When I went to share my iPad screen on Zoom the pictures do not show up. I know there are measures in place to keep your IP safe (like not being able to screen shot the pictures) but now I am unable to use the app for teaching and have wasted my money. Please make the pictures shareable on screen share..Ms. HopperVersion: 1.1.0

✓ Can’t see the iconsThe icons on my phone are so small that I cannot read them. I have updated a few times without a fix..Nuclear power pantsVersion: 1.3.1

✓ DisappointedI love Secret Stories and purchased this app to air play on my Apple TV in the classroom. I was so excited to be able to play the song and stories with ease for my students but unfortunately the graphics disappear. This was the most expensive app I have ever purchased so I am really disappointed..SecondgradeteacherVersion: 1.2.0

✓ App not workingThe song continues to close after Letter G. Don’t waste your money. Update needed to fix the glitches. Ver disappointed..TaetaeNicoleVersion: 1.2.1

✓ DisappointedFor $35, I thought there would be a LOT more to this app. It’s also not the Secret Stories Better Alphabet Song that my son learned and loved on YouTube..LittlebluecattailsVersion: 1.2.0

✓ Secret storiesI like the app but then my screen freezes and ICan’t get out of the screen. Not sure what is up with that A.S.2.A.s.2Version: 1.3.1

✓ Huge disappointmentExpensive. Song won’t play. Uninstalled and reinstalled. I keep reading how clear not being able to project was made. I missed it well as the others that posted it. Maybe you should take a real look at how clear you really are on that one. Can I get a refund?.DddgggrrrVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Needs improvementsThe app is useful but needs to improve in a few areas. 1. When the alphabet song is playing it’s very hard to see the letter it is singing. It’s outlined in another color, but not made any larger. We should not be seeing the entire alphabet the whole song. They should be flashing up whatever letter they are singing. There is no way to get the “eye glue” to stick if the kids can’t see the letter. 2. On the secret story telling section the yellow back ground is very distracting. It’s going to take most kid’s focus off of the story card in the center of the screen, especially if the kid has ADD. I’m disappointed with this high price when there are major flaws..Sweven's TraumVersion: 1.3.1

✓ Too pricey for what it offersI wouldn’t recommend this app at this price point. It is simply Katie telling the stories/letter sounds. If you have the book/posters you are all set, not need to waste money on this. If you want a cheat, then it might be for you (but you really need the posters to help the stories stick)..Jennen12Version: 1.3.1

✓ Functionality issuesI LOVE the secret stories. My only issue with the current app is that the screen can time out and stop playing mid-story and the only way to get back is to start it over AND the fact that there’s no way to download an old version to an older device (I intended to put this on a school ipad but it won’t work).Alicia733Version: 1.3.1

✓ Better Alphabet Song stops abruptly at “r”Needs a bug fix! Not playing all the way through the Better Alphabet song. For the price paid, this needs to be fixed!.Operation so addictingVersion: 1.2.1

✓ FrustratingKid uses this in school and loves it. I bought it and then put it on the kids iPad using family sharing. App loads but there is no images on the tiles, making app useless. App support is non existent in app nor the App Store link. No documentation on set up or requirements. Maybe schools get additional support avenues..DanHamsterVersion: 1.3.1

✓ DisappointedFor the cost of this app there should be some kind of games or activities. I purchased this app as a teacher to see if I could recommend it for parents. Unfortunately I can not. I understand wanting to protect your work but something needs to be added to make this app worth the cost..CkteacherVersion: 1.2.1

✓ DisappointedPurchased to use to reinforce letter sounds for phonics instruction. While the stories give multiple sounds for the letters they do not appear to cover all the letter sounds. The stories do not give any indication when the different sounds are used. I do not find this more helpful than the magnets we have on our fridge that sing and give these letter sounds. The magnets were cheaper and also tactile so more engaging. Disappointed..J98SVersion: 1.2.1

✓ Icons too smallI need to open every icon to find what I’m looking for because they are too small to tell what you’re opening. Kids lose interest as they wait for me to open a story they’re interested in. Any advice to remedy???.E20davisVersion: 1.3.1

✓ For the price, I wish there was moreIf you have purchased the book and flashcards, then this is not worth the price and without the book, it's not helpful..EduryeaVersion: 1.3.1

✓ Not sure it’s needed.I spent 27.99 for something I already know and use daily in my routines. I thought this was a better way to teach sounds. At least 4 sounds are not even the correct way to teach them. l,m, n, r, qu. I am disappointed. Love the better alphabet song with Jack Hartmann best and it’s free! Please redo the audio for the amount you are charging..5yoldsVersion: 1.3.1

✓ Question!!Everytime I play the better alphabet song, it ends at E. Help needed!.MaxGamer07Version: 1.3.1
