Comments on Phonics Hero: Learn to Read for Android
★★★★★ankita patel· May 14, 2026
Phonics Hero is a really great educational app for 5-year-old kids. It is helping my children improve their English speaking and reading skills in a fun and easy way. My kids enjoy learning with this app every day. I purchased it again for my younger son because we had such a good experience the first time. Highly recommended for young children learning English!

My child loves it so much that they think it is part of their screen time (ie pleasure time), Their reading this year has improved a great deal, due to using this app. The emailed information for parents has enabled me to be engaged with their experience, without taking it too far and putting him off by "being a teacher". Just helps parents with awareness of levels, points of difficulty, and helping him see the rewards store and vault to put his rewards in.

The app doesn't work on an android phone. It lets you log in, and then it only lets you see part of the screen which is frozen.

Downloaded this on my Samsung tablet for my child's homeschooling as I have been told to do so by her teacher. Cannot log in keeps saying request denied for security. Checked my settings and all have been accepted yet this still does not work. Worse app I have come across so far when it is for children and should work on its website not just on the app

Doesn't work on Samsung tablet. Doesn't fit screen
★☆☆☆☆Iain Wicks· Oct 18, 2020
If you have a modern phone this app does not display correctly, and you can not use it. Very disappointed as my daughter's school will be using this substandard app to aid with her education.
★☆☆☆☆Jamie Forse· May 24, 2021
Wouldn't work on android phone or Kindle, so we bought an android tablet especially so our son could use as advised by his teacher. Now has stopped working on our tablet as we have android 10 and are unable to upgrade to 11. Very disappointed.
