Glitchy app We tried to set the app so it only does capital letters and when we click on that option in settings the app closes out. Basically we can’t use it as intended by our child’s teacher
There’s no sound or instructions There’s no sound or instructions. Just swiping through random letters doesn’t do much.
Upgrade on our phone was required I at first rated the app 1 star. I purchased for .99 cents and could not get any sound features to work. After sitting with it for about an hour and troubleshooting we discovered our phone needed an update. After update was finished, game worked perfectly. My son could not be happier. They play this game on their iPads at school. He isn’t the best and has told me he doesn’t understand, so I was excited to know we could practice more at at 🙂 Now we just need to figure out how to share it onto his iPad now that I have downloaded it into my phone. I do see there is family share capabilities up to 6 family members
Settings issue? I literally just bought this app and when I tried to change the game settings, the app crashed every time.
Disappointed Just paid for three of these Ninja apps only to see that not one single one has any sound! How do I remedy this? They are absolutely useless if my little man can’t hear anything.
No sound and crashes Paid and downloaded. Sound doesn’t work and crashes when I go into settings. Terrible purchase.
Sound effects too loud Love the concept and will definitely help with letter names but the phonics is difficult to hear because the chiming sound effects. There is no way to adjust that sound without also adjusting the phonics sound.
Sound not working Can’t play the game with no sound
Crashing I have paid for this app twice and it continues to crash and have no sound on multiple occasions. I do not have problems with any other apps on this iPad
Parent settings not working Hi have been using ABC Ninja for years and have loved using it. However with in the last few months the parent settings to customize letters and sounds has not be working. That tool was amazing and one of the reason I bought the app. Would give it a 5 if that was working properly.

“I love this app and ALL the ninja apps that go along with it!”
“There's a little different sound and color but the letter still looks like its being slashed, and that's all he's looking for.”
“It would be, except he thinks slashing any letter is fine since he doesn't notice any negative reinforcement for hitting the wrong letters.”
“It could easily be done with other concepts like numbers, words, or simple arithmetic.”
“Not fair!”
A drop after an update usually means the update broke something.
