You can get Read Write Phonics for Android, and I think there's a free version too so that you can try it out before parting with your £1.50.

I wish Coop Phonics was out for Android. Only IOS...is the best phonics app for Iphone and Ipad.

Read write phonics seems to be the closest to a decent phonics app.
I wish I knew how to make apps.

Me too!
It is really frustrating but it seems that most android users look for free stuff so app writers go for apple users who are more willing to pay! Ho hum.

Go on You Tube and search for phase 1 (or 2 or 3) phonic songs. Someone has grouped all the letter sounds by each phase together. It's a hit with DS who has just started phonic sounds at school. It also has a picture of the action they should be doing with each sound. DS's lovely teacher recommended it.

Sorry can't do links on a phone but try to look them up by the person that uploaded them, HelpMeThink85 was the name. Whilst the songs sound American all the spellings are UK English.

Hope this helps
