Comments on Learn to Read - Duolingo ABC for Android

★★★★★ Kacie Brinner · May 10, 2026

I downloaded this to have an educational game for my 3yo, and it came recommended on Reddit. My now almost 4yo is legit reading sight words, knows all her letter phonics and some blended letter sounds (ph, sh, which the app calls "letter teams"), and she plays less than an hour of it in a whole week. She loves the game. The short stories are cute and inclusive. We also read a ton in our house, but I credit this with the fact that she's almost independently reading.

★★★★★ Pradeep Mukherjee · Jun 18, 2026

This app is very good now my kids are very fluent to read English spellings of any word I love this learning to read Duolingo and I think we all should download this learning to read Duolingo forever kids love this app thanks you so much 🥰🥰😘

★★★★★ Joyce Asante · May 31, 2026

Duolingo being a special app made for everyone who can't speak any other languages, but apart from the English. Besides, not only English can be speak in other countries like China, Spain etc. let's say china for instance u cannot speak English at their country, because 10% of the Chinese can speak English. On the other hand, spain is a country that almost 95%speaks Spanish, even though u want to learn how to speak the Spanish koraaa no it will be puzzled for u to learn their language buh with duo

My small sister can not understand English and there were no option to change language, so I can not like this app because this is useless for my sister

★★☆☆☆ Desi Dabba · Jun 4, 2026

It won't teach my child anything 😔 it is so slow to teach so yeah it also is real fun to see the child do but yeah I would recommend Duolingo

★★☆☆☆ J F · May 31, 2026

Big picture it's good, in the details It's got significant design flaws. I'm certain that a teacher looked at the macros of this app and its philosophy and Gabe a thumbs up. But the mechanics undermine quality learning. Some of the spelling practice allows kids to spell words out of order, and letters magnetize to the right spot. It rewards blind guessing and jot learning.
