Comments on Hooked on Phonics Learning for Android
★★★★★Nicole O'Malley· Jan 23, 2026
Totally worth it. We purchased all 3, phonics, math, and spelling, plus the books. This is the best thing I have found to keep my son focused and make our home school lessons fun and productive. My 5-year-old autistic son wasn't even speaking a few months ago, now he is a math wiz, can spell any word and can read full books. He can navigate the program easily, and the lessons in the books match right up with the ones on the program. It is an absolute joy to have in our home classroom.
★★★★★Amy Rogers· Apr 24, 2026
My 3-year-old son is so confident that he is learning new things and strives for perfection! Love the app and program.
★★★★★Bonnie Cox· Oct 29, 2025
I literally have this app on every device in my home. My daughter reads so much better thanks to hooker on phonics it's an absolute amazing app if your child is struggling to read fluently I highly recommend this.

Garbage, dishonest sneaky, high price over $100 is fine, but then endless sneaky upsell, lots of disruptive ads to spoil your kids learning
★☆☆☆☆Jesse J· Nov 18, 2025
Lost access to app on phone and tablet in the first week, would let me log in but would try to have me choose a new plan. No way to do anything unless I got another plan. I already have a subscription. Even when I updated the app, I still couldn't do anything, but they were still charging my card.
★☆☆☆☆Katherine Harrison· Apr 30, 2026
This is not a cheap subscription, but it can cover up to 3 kids. But for me, it isn't worth the money at all, and I'll be cancelling it when it comes up for renewal. The math is Great the reading absolutely not. When they get so high up in the phonics. Say around level 30, they become able to just guess over and over until they get the correct answer. I watch them push the options until it says "great job you did it". So at the end of the lesson they have learned absolutely nothing.
