Reviews for Teach Your Monster to Read

Not a great first experience. The first question "enter your year of birth" - I enter my child's date of birth, but then the field to enter DOB resets. Not really sure what to do as the app is for children and I entered their year of birth, I'm guessing for tailored content. Not great from a £9 app. I currently can't use the app

One of the first games with the sounds and the pillar of 4 letters just doesn't make sense. Kills the whole app right when it should be taking off.
