Phonograms By SEI Customer Service

Phonograms by SEI Positive Reviews

Perfect to practice with my KindergartnerMy first lenguaje in not English so even when I speak a very fluent English I have to admit that I was never tough all the phonograms while learning English. Being said this I don't expect the app does the whole job of teaching my son but it has been a big help to practice with him the sounds each letter does. Like I said this is great for practice and we love it!! I am not sure why people says sound doesn't work but for me it works every single time I open it. I would love to click on any letter randomly without having to go through the list and hear the sound but still it does the job and it has been very helpful. Love it!!!.IgblinVersion: 1.2

Misunderstood AppThe app is very efficient. I was skeptical after reading a couple of reviews, and saying that the ratings for it is 1.9. But after downloading it because of the school my child goes to, it turns out very simple and easy to use. It has a differentiate practice option that allows you to choose what letters you want to practice that is part of the curriculum and or homework for that week. By choosing the letters I was able to do the OPR and the WPR that was base on the home work. This option made it super easy for him to focus..Sapphire2891Version: 1.4.3

Black screenI just got this app and so far I haven’t had the sound issue that other users have encountered. However, I have my phone set to a “dark” appearance in settings which makes the screen completely black without showing the letters in written phonogram review. I have to change my settings to “light” appearance to show the letters. The app could use an update to adjust for this change. Otherwise, I agree it would be better to be able to write in the app as opposed to having to use your own paper..DorkyForkyVersion: 1.4.3

Does not match the order at schoolThis app really needs a way to choose the phonograms you want to practice. My son’s teacher is not going in the same order as the lists in the app, making it hard to practice using the app. I have to hunt around the different app lists to find the ones he is currently learning. To make matters worse, there is supposed to be a “select” button available in the differentiated practice that would somewhat allow you to do this, but it is not there. This makes the differentiated practice function useless..VegasPumaVersion: 1.2

Great for parents at least!This application have helped our family so much. Every single day from Monday to Thursday we use it to help us with our kindergarten student to do her homework. She is getting the best scores in the tests for the subject. We are more than pleased with this awesome app. We specially love the free section to check any phonogram and dictate to our kiddo. Is simply and once you try all the sections you can use it as your special homework-helper. 👌.SulyMomVersion: 1.2

Love it!Sound works; just make sure your ringer is set to “on”. The writing section is meant to be used along with paper and the answers are shown as flash cards to check your work. I like this bc it requires them to practice their handwriting as they are supposed to; not on a screen. This was a great option for us to supplement the work that is happening at school while only spending $4. My girls (3 and 5) are doing so well with this program! I think it just needs a website or video to explain its features. I wish they had audio available to remind children of the rules as they write. “Start at the top line…” I recommend this app to anyone with a young reader!.DanienicVersion: 1.4.3

Works wellI used this method 10-15 years ago. Now using again for grandchild. It works. I had no sound so check settings under ringer and turned it on. No visual for writing practice so had to go to light mode in display. Choose your set, pick differentiated section, choose the phonograms and go back and only the checked ones will be presented.

DO NOT RECOMMEND** DO NOT RECOMMEND** I paid for this app to help my child learn for school curriculum but the sound went out. I thought it was my phone but it just randomly lost sound and no matter how much I restart or remove and reinstall the app sound is gone. I got to use it maybe 2 times and then lost sound. Please FIX iPhone 7 Plus.AyrleaVersion: 1.2

UsefulI highly recommend this application. I will say parents do have to put their part in selecting and keeping up with the appropriate curriculum/ syllabus. Had no issues with sounds. I found this application to be helpful for my child, and he was only in kindergarten and reading..Helper of mankindVersion: 1.2

I like it but needs work.I like that I can make a list specifically for the phonograms my kid is learning but don’t like that I can’t make another list for my other kids. Please make it so that I can make multiple differentiated lists that can be saved and removed easily. Recommended by my kids teacher for Spalding..Ethan & MomVersion: 1.2

Turn your phone off silentIt’s really frustrating, but make sure your phone is not on silent while using the app and the sound should work. This definitely should be fixed though I agree with all of you. Now can someone tell me how the writing part works?.Lbzamora23Version: 1.2

Written phonogram review doesn’t workThe written phonogram review portion of the app doesn’t work on my iPhone 14. When I hit the “show me” button the screen is blank. I like the rest of the app and find this part unique and potentially helpful with kids with disabilities but it doesn’t work! I’m very disappointed..ClaireC6Version: 1.4.3

Unable to fix a major bugThis is a pretty great app for reviewing phonograms. Though recently it stopped making sounds on my iPhone. I’m unable to trouble shoot where the problem is and had to download it on my iPad..CherbeargalVersion: 1.4.3

Help no soundThis is a great tool, the only problem is that sound works sometimes I don’t know what happens but their are days when no sound for the phonograms is available. It’s frustrating because I paid for this app to have my kid practice the sounds of phonograms..Sagy!Version: 1.3

LifesaverI’ve been having my 6yr old work on the phonograms in this app and have seen improvement in his reading skills in just 2 weeks. Phonograms are a reading game-changer..Gringa52Version: 1.2

Found out why sound doesn't workMy sound wouldn't work when I first purchased this app, even if my volume was all the way up. I found out that if my phone ringer is switched to silent (left side switch on i phone) then sound won't work..Badger McBadgerVersion: 1.2

Good for the carThe oral part of this app is great, my daughter can practice in the car and I can hear her. We can not get the written part of this app to work. Kind of bummed because it would be fun for her to practice writing in the car also. I hope that a fix comes soon..Hott and FoxyVersion: 1.2

No volume problemsMy daughters teacher suggested this. Value at $4. Volume works fine. Bad reviews seem to be fixed or user error..Fatslapper24Version: 1.2

No SoundI just purchased this App and can’t use it! I thought this problem would have already been taken care of. Want my money back!.MommyMe7Version: 1.2

Love it!Works great for allowing kids to practice. For those that say no sound make sure your phone is not on silent..Tracy7150000000Version: 1.2

Phonograms by SEI Negative Reviews

I paid money for this?This app is horribly designed. It assumes the teacher is following their lesson plans exactly. I have to go into multiple lessons to hunt for each phonogram that my child is currently learning. Would be so much nicer to have other options on how to choose the phonograms you want to practice. Also, some sounds in the higher frequencies (such as ph) come across poorly on the phone speaker. This is a problem considering this app is all about speech sounds! Overall, it was a great idea to make phonograms easier to practice, but the execution of the design is incredibly poor... especially for the price..Shui331Version: 1.2

Needs A Lot of ImprovementUsers should be able to select which phonograms to work on (based on what their child’s teacher is covering, not the app’s grouping). Also the written practice doesn’t work in my app; it just has a black screen even after I press “show me”. I restarted the app and restarted my phone, but it didn’t resolve the issue. We can’t really use this, and I’m bummed I paid money for an app that doesn’t work. Others should just buy Spalding’s practice cards..Xgboost3Version: 1.4.3

POOR Design; please fix it!I find it astounding that the developer(s) hasn’t taken action to address some basic issues with this app. So many reviews here about people having problems with the sound, but after NUMEROUS attempts, I accidentally figured out that it was due to my phone being on silent! Why on earth would somebody do that?? So frustrating! On top of that, there’s no FAQ or troubleshoot feature. If you’re having any sort of issue, you’re out of luck! The content has been helpful for our child, but this app makes me angry in just how poorly designed it is! NOT WORTH IT!.McrochaVersion: 1.4.3

Phonograms appIt was a great app, up until last week. For some reason now, when we do the oral or written review of the phonograms it’s not working. It’s always listening the phonograms in the same order and not out of order like it’s supposed to; and also it not saying any clues words for the phonograms. I don’t know what’s going on but please fix it. I tried to delete and reinstall the app and it’s still not working.MTati37Version: 1.4.1

I ignored the reviews, I shouldn’t have.I thought they’d improve it, but yes, it’s truly impossible to find any of the phonograms as they’re divided into lesson format and there isn’t even a lesson overview. If that isn’t bad enough, you can’t skip over any phonograms without “hearing” and waiting for all the phonograms before it and there’s no birds view or way to skip. My kids are learning with the Spaulding curriculum in their charter and I was hoping to help them catch up and help them learn them at home, but this app makes me want to pull my freaking hair out!.BlueButterflyPrincessVersion: 1.4.3

Written portion does not work! 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️I just paid for this app today after ordering a large amount of curriculum from them. The written part absolutely needs to be fixed. How helpful it would be especially if you could trace letters in the app after seeing them formed. A cursive and print option would be nice as well..AdultteacherVersion: 1.4.3

Low quality designI was surprised a how boring and ugly this is to keep kids engaged. Bought because the school required but there are better programs. In the write portion when clicking show me, the screen stays black as the pencil goes away but dent reveal. This barely works and for $3.99 you’ll be robbed.QJB2017Version: 1.4.3

Won’t work on multiple devicesPaid $4 to download on my sons kindle fire - it will do about half the phonograms and then the volume will cut out and it won’t make any more sounds. I also paid another $4 to download on the iPad thinking it would work better, and it doesn’t make any sounds at all through the iPad. My volume is working and other apps are working fine, so it’s just this app that isn’t working..Smaf11Version: 1.2

Sometimes the sound works and sometimes it doesn’tThis app stops properly working when it needs to be updated and the sound will sometimes work. I have closed out of the app and reopened and still no sound. Super frustrating.RhohensteinVersion: 1.4.3

Sound not workingReally frustrated that I spent $4 on this app and the sound does not work. Many reviews said that you just need to be sure your volume is on but mine is all the way up and no sound comes out at all. Spalding Phonics is a great program but this app needs to be fixed!.MT BearsVersion: 1.2

No Sound????Finally read the other reviews and figured out the reason there was no sound was because my phone is on silent (switch on side of phone). Really? Can the developer fix this? This shouldn’t be happening!.FshnfntcVersion: 1.2

Poorly designedAs others have mentioned you can’t select the phonograms you want to study. You’re limited to going through the selected groups. But by far my biggest complaint is that the sound no longer works in the app. I’ve reinstalled and restarted but it doesn’t help. Save your money..Azmeg2021Version: 1.3

Sound doesn’t work anymoreThis app no longer plays the sounds for each phonogram so it’s pretty useless. I deleted and re-downloaded the app, but it still won’t work. I wish the developers would come out with a new version that fixes this issue..Mollie clarkVersion: 1.3

Unable to see the optionsSince the latest OS update the app is unusable. Select a lesson and then the buttons at the bottom are all black. So the button is black and the text is black which means there is no telling what each is for. It’s incredibly frustrating..LofjaVersion: 1.3

This is horribleI should have read the reviews before purchasing. Spalding Method is a great way to teach kids to read and write but this app is seriously deficient. Like so many other reviewers, I can’t get the sound to work. It is not operator error - why hasn’t this been fixed? The complaints go back years. What a waste..WOS81Version: 1.2

Wish you could write the lettersIt would be great if you could write the phonograms with your finger or a stylus. Also, why does the speaker not say the clues with the phonograms? How are the kids supposed to learn the difference between aw and au or oi and oy? For the price of this app these features should be included in the app..Pharmgirl95Version: 1.2

Using as a parent, app has absolutely no sounds even after several redownloads.Would not purchased this if our kid’s teacher didn’t require it..Roshen cVersion: 1.4.3

Awful AppI downloaded this app to help my son with his phonograms & being something you have to pay for you would think it would work properly but you can’t even hear the sounds of the letters so a complete waste of money..IsthatmarieVersion: 1.4.3

I cannot get the sound to workI am not able to use this paid app. I am very disappointed with the app. It should be easy to used but instead I have waisted a few hours trying to get the sound to work..Sandydc99Version: 1.3

Total crapIt’s a pain to use and I thought it was broken because you only hear sound when you take your phone off vibrate. It’s a terrible design flaw and the app is pretty crappy overall.Shipper62Version: 1.4.3

Waste of moneyPaid 3.99 because it helps to hear the sounds. Open the app and it won’t play the sound of the words. Waste of money and as mentioned you can’t navigate to the sounds you need..BstgwarmongerVersion: 1.3

No sound- don't buyThere is no sound for the app. This makes the app pretty much useless. Perhaps this app was made for teachers, but the format is also not user friendly for parents. A more helpful version would allow students to practice individually..WizzyiscoolVersion: 1.2

There is no sound and no app support eitherI am hoping I can still use this purchase instead of having to buy the $14 cards. The Spalding company is really ruthless. They did not invent phonograms. But they have a monopoly on our education system so we are stuck with them..Xu2mofoxVersion: 1.2

Do not buy (October 2022)Was recommended by kids school. However, it totally does not make any sound no matter what. Tried to contact the APP, either fix it or refund. No reply yet. Will update review when there is an update..13456927Logan6547Version: 1.4.3

The sound doesn’t work! Horrible app!I downloaded this app to help learn the phonogram sounds and the sound isn’t working. I’ve tried everything to get it to work but it won’t play any sounds..Poppy11232Version: 1.4.3

No soundI have the free version on my Samsung and it works fine. I paid for the full version on my ipad and there is no sound. The app has no purpose without sound. I have already verified all of my settings and this is the only app with this issue..MgullottaVersion: 1.2

Doesn’t workI want my money back. This app does not read the sounds out loud, but it does have a non-functioning “read aloud” button to make things extra frustrating..DhdjenbdxorbjddbzkcmfnVersion: 1.4.3

Audio Does Not Work!For an app that is supposed to help kids understand the sounds of letters in English grammar, this app is useless. The app does not provide any sound, even after we tested other apps and re-downloaded. Waste of $3.99..Stanzie87Version: 1.4.3

Doesn’t workThe app doesn’t tell you the sounds. I have checked for settings that would cause the sounds not to play, but there is nothing. Don’t waste your money..JuniorVarsity2004Version: 1.4.3

No sound.I can’t hear anything when I try to use this app. My sister said she had to download it onto a kindle before she was able to hear anything. What is the point of an app that teaches my kids the SOUNDS of letters if there is no sound..Jillian20091991Version: 1.2

Sound stays offToo tricky to trouble shoot how to make the phonograms play their sounds. Very frustrating..RobieRaeVersion: 1.2
