Latest reviews of Eggy 250 app for iPhone and iPad
I was happy when my 5 year old took to the free version of Reading Eggs. I paid today for the full app and it wont even open. Needless to say I am out $2 and I have a disappointed kiddo. Dont waste your money.
My son loved the lite free version of this app so I spent $2.99 and purchased the full app. It wont download! Ive tried several times and I have plenty of storage. An error message keeps appearing saying it cant load at this time!
I am wishing this app allowed for more than one child. It does not have an option to customize it for each child only to reset it completely. Would earn five stars if you could have multiple players with different skills and levels with saved games.
Reading eggs is how my sons school does home work. Unfortunately the app doesnt allow u to log in to get the homework.
As the level is mastered the eggs not only move faster; they get smaller. The increased speed is challenge enough; the decreased size makes the words almost impossible to decipher. Creator should include an option to disable this feature for those of us limited to the smaller screen of a phone or iPod. I cant even see the words myself by the end of a round so imagine how frustrated my early reader is getting.
