Super Why! Power to Read for Negative User Reviews

✓ No sound!Seriously!!! Wth! There is no sound on this app! Do not buy! I want my money back!.KgirgosVersion: 4.1

✓ DisappointedMy son earned a bunch of "stickers" and he has only 5 that he can use. Why say you earned sticker only to have no sticker available. The second problem is the spelling princess. The pauses in-between instructions take so long that my son tries to get the app to do something before you can. The letter tracing that follows is difficult that free apps do a better job. The reading, rhyming and word pig are good though..Lis215Version: 1.5

✓ SApp has no sound. Disappointing..Logans.momVersion: 4.2

✓ Could be betterMy 3year old son loves Super Why, so I got this game for him. It's ok but could be better. It's a little limited and response on the tracing of letters is horrible..YD54321Version: 1.5

✓ Waste of moneyI can’t believe I paid for an app that won’t even properly work because the sound isn’t functioning. This is such a waste of money. Tried it on my iPad and sound doesn’t work despite being all the way up. Tried it on my phone and it has other issues..MelissagarciaVersion: 4.2

✓ No sound.I stupidly purchased without reading the reviews, just relying on PBS Kids’ reputation. There is no sound. The games are set up so that sound is essential. What a rip off..CQEV4Version: 4.2

✓ Super why Power to read... no soundI just bought the bundle. I’m also having issues with it.. the super why power to read game have no sound. Please have this issue resolve ASAP. I purchased the bundle and I’m really disappointed that I didn’t get what I paid for.LippySkipVersion: 4.2

✓ Super whyThis app is educational and fun but it has TWICE frozen my iPad, the last time for five hours. The pbskids logo screen could only be unfrozen by allowing the battery to run down completely..Frozen123Version: 0

✓ No soundI'm followed the instructions, made sure the sound was on, etc. but still no sound! The other Apps in the bundle work fine, would be nice to use this one too! Please find the problem and do an update so we can enjoy this app! Thanks!.Sarahsunflwr98Version: 4.1

✓ Not workingI just downloaded the app but there is no volume. I made sure my phone is on the highest plus I shut off and turn back on phone and still no volume..Send12Version: 4.1

✓ No Sound!!I’ve purchased the app but there is no sound. I’m using an IPhone X..Dooly8Version: 4.2

✓ Needs workApp is slow, lags, glitches. My 3.5 year old had a difficult time tracing the letters as the game isn't very touch sensitive and doesn't work well for left-handed kids. Has potential but needs some work..Mccrank288Version: 3.1

✓ Sound does not workSpent $5 on an app that is useless because all the instructions are verbal it doesn't play the sound. My daughter is very disappointed and I'm unimpressed. Don't waste your money..PhenrixxVersion: 4.0

✓ SucksSuper why is so stupid they dumb they ugly gross.ChepauVersion: 4.2

✓ Needs some parental optionsI purchased this app for my three year old daughter who knows her letter names, letter sounds, and some sight words. She loves the tv show and will enjoy the game. The games stay true to the objective of the tv show. I hope in future updates that they give the parent the option to turn off the background music (it gets annoying pretty fast!) and would also like the option for the user to able to tap on the word in some of the games to have the word spoken for them (then have the user drag and drop the word). Had I known that these options were not available I may have held off on the app purchase. Maybe I'll have her use headphones for now!.Ldybg1127Version: 2.33

✓ No sound on ios10Same issue...no sound regardless of settings.SstahmVersion: 4.1

✓ No soundPlease release a fix for this.Jowen44Version: 4.2

✓ Not workingSound is not working in this app. Very disappointing. Hopefully resolved soon.WarriorjacqVersion: 4.0

✓ MehGood graphics but slow and limited in content. Not worth 3.99. Would like a 3 dollar refund..Mike1234cb8Version: 1.5

✓ App has no soundHave followed all the steps provided to fix this issue but there is no sound on two of the super why apps we purchased..Zupe zupe!Version: 4.2

✓ Still No Sound on iPhoneJust purchased the app and the sound isn’t working. I assumed the problem had been fixed given the prior reviews complaining about the sound issue. Anything we can do to fix? Version 12.1.4.Eqp11Version: 4.2

✓ VolumeOn one of the three games the sound does not work (Superwhy) I’ve tried everything and I’m verry upset there’s nothing it will let me do to fix it first time paying for a game and it doesn’t work !.GinadyVersion: 4.1

✓ Half loadingCrashes before the game even opens..AppsoVersion: 4.1

✓ Used to be greatI bought this app 4 years ago, when my oldest daughter was 4. She loved the show, and I loved the pre-reading and writing skills it taught. She loved the app and played it many times. I wish there were more options for each character, because she did every level pretty quickly. Considering I paid for this app, I thought it would offer more. Fast forward, my next daughter is 5. She has occasionally played the games in the past year (2 or 3 times, is all). Today she tried to play, and there is no sound!! It makes playing rhyming games and matching letters to sounds impossible. very disappointed..Lernst73Version: 3.1

✓ Very ordinaryA waste of money, slow to respond to answers, frustrating to every child who has played it on this ipad!.Brown6789Version: 1.4

✓ Fun app but a little buggy...My 3 yr olds really like the fun and educational games. However, it would be nice if the app was a little more stable - an accidental double click to start a game instead of a single sometimes leads to a crash. The letter writing functionality could also use some tuning - the "how to" animations take too long and it can be unnecessarily frustrating for even a grown up to trace letters the "correct" way. Also wouldn't mind a bit more variety in the content - it seems like we keep getting the same stories coming up over and over again. With some tweaks, this could be a 5 star..PadIsRadVersion: 0

✓ Still no sound as of January 10, 2019My PBS station just sent out a newsletter that recommend this app, so even though I read the reviews, I assumed this had been fixed. I do kind of resent paying money for something that just doesn’t work. Is there something that can be done? A refund perhaps? Or possibly fixing the problem that seems to be long-standing? I’m a little disappointed that PBS sent out a newsletter to recommend an app with such terrible reviews. iPhone version 11.4.1.PBSfixthis!Version: 4.2

✓ Unstable but has potentialThe game is a little unstable in this version. Had some crashes. Needs a bit more variety in the game but otherwise a good game.HatlenVersion: 0

✓ No soundThere is no sound when using the app. I have an iPad 6th gen and before the “developer” replies to my comment asking whether or not I have the audio setting on and my volume up, YES! It’s on max! Other apps work on my child’s iPad with no issue. Fix your app to work properly when paying customers spend money to use your product. Free games have no issue with sound and your app that has a cost to it doesn’t work at all? Ridiculous.Anna Sunny LeeVersion: 4.1

✓ No soundAs the other two reviews say. There's no sound. I thought it was because my daughters iPad is a first generation, but it doesn't work on my iPad Pro either. Yes I have checked the volume on my device. It's not working on apple products. It does work on my daughter's new kindle fire..Hilary0312Version: 4.1

✓ Please don’t make me watch it.My sister has seen it and whenever I see it, I can’t get it out of my head so plz shut down for good..JalliseVersion: 4.2

✓ Sound is an issue, even with troubleshootingI am uninstalled and reinstalled this app several times, I cannot get sound on it. I have tried all of strategies from website. I have had to remove from iPad bc I have a student with special needs who cannot handle seeing it as an option and having it be broken. As an educator who spent her own funds on this, it’s terribly frustrating..AppCrazySLPVersion: 4.2

✓ NO SOUND 2023No sound.S.RainoVersion: 4.2

✓ Not all bundle apps loadedI bought the $7.99 bundle, but the ABC Adventures on didn’t load (it said that it couldn’t). I deleted it so I could try reinstalling it. But when I went into the App Store, it’s that I never bought it. (The other two were there) Help please!.CookingRocksVersion: 4.1

✓ No soundWe are in the same boat as the other reviewer’s. We cannot access the sound for this app. I hope they update it and push the upgrade..MrammoraVersion: 4.2

✓ No soundI uploaded this app today and there is no sound. I thought the issue may have been with older devices but this is an ios 6th gen ipad that is running on the most updated softwear 🤦🏼‍♀️! Any resolution to this problem?.Kfieldin01Version: 4.2

✓ Room for improvement for the priceI know this is based on the show but for the cost they should make it more user educational friendly. I've found many educational apps that offer these options for a lot less $$. For example a setting option to allow change from uppercase to lowercase letters, and also highlighting the words as read to help build sight word recognition, and if possible the option to highlight as pressed by the user as they reread the sentences..Mary T 1965Version: 1.5

✓ No soundI have gone though all of the tips provided by app support and still no sound..BecfinnVersion: 4.1

✓ Super Why are you using dated stories?Overall the app is good and has kept my 5 year old busy. I found the stories to be "dated". There is a glitch of sorts on one of the stories, it stops loading. It's better than some of the other games and kids relate to the characters. Aa little expensive for a basic app..Angelina&2boysVersion: 2.33

✓ Slow, redundant and expensive; better apps out there...Hate to say this, as my 2-1/2 yr old daughter loves super why, but this app is not worth $3.99, probably not even worth $.99... First, the app is slow to start (how many developer logos do we really need to see?) and move through games (there's a robotic dull feel to it). For reference, it's about half as fast as the tv series, which my daughter follows just fine. Second, the app is redundant. I've seen the same rhyming words and the same alpha pig words repeatedly, which, again, gets boring quickly. And third, the app just isn't well executed. The letter writing is poorly executed (much better, cheaper apps out there for this), the story fill in is only interesting if you intentionally pick the wrong words, which is a little confusing, and the sticker rewards are just lame. Couldn't the stickers be like super letters that are used later to more productive ends? Overall the app has potential with refinements and expanded content, but for now, it's relegated to the 'no, not that one' category, which defeats its educational purpose..FonedVersion: 1.5

✓ No soundStill no sound playing.TooManyNamesTaken01Version: 4.2

✓ No soundCant play with no sound!.Blasdel12345Version: 4.2

✓ Is pretty goodBoth my boys (2 and 4) love Super Why. I found version 1.2 to be a little unstable. Also expected more games for the price. There are 4 games but the number of variations seem limited. It is a little thing but Pig sounds like Red, as if they could not get right voice actor for the game. For someone who has seen a LOT of Super Why episodes, it is a little distracting. But the game is a favourite here due to the fact this is their favourite tv show..ZippyKittyVersion: 0

✓ No soundDaughter loves super why but there is no sound.Meliscious 2120Version: 4.2

✓ CrashesCrashes on load. Never gets past 87%. Been like that for months..Aquabat1606Version: 4.2

✓ Should be a Universal AppThis app should be universal. It's ridiculous that the developer has created 2 versions: one for iPhone/ iPod touch and another for iPad; when one universal app could have done. Other developers have done it. For the times that I don't have my iPad but have my iPhone I would like to have this app in my pocket for my kids but I'm not about to pay for it twice. For this reason I'm giving it 3 stars..MercytiaraVersion: 1.4

✓ App keeps crashingApp keeps crashing. Don't know what to do what I want my money back..N323dlVersion: 4.2

✓ Unlike the originalI'm disappointed to say this but I was happy to find this app because my daughter loves this show on tv and has learnt from it every time it's shown and I though it would help more on her reading skills plus to be more confident to learn how to read with fun activities. Unfortunately after I downloaded this app, I noticed that unlike to original tv series its voice illustrations aren't in 'English' accents but 'American' accents! Not pleased by that because it has slowly introducing my daughter to speak with an American accent when we are not american, especially since it is or was an English production. I don't want to remove this app just because it's now American produced but because it can still help her improve her reading. Please try to improve this somehow. Thanks..MammaTPVersion: 1.5

✓ No soundNeed a refund.AkkdioVersion: 4.2

✓ No SoundSound does not work. I’ve tried a few different things to fix it with no success.Sd172105Version: 4.2

✓ No soundAfter a year of people reviewing the sound doesn’t work, one would think it would have been fixed. Clearly not. Sound works just fine on the other two apps that came in the bundle, but not this one. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling, and it still doesn’t work. I’ll be asking Apple for a refund. I would have expected more from a PBS sponsored app..Jmg2012Version: 4.2
