It’s taking too long to download.
October 5, 2016
This happens from time to time because the Learn to Read app is gigantic, more than 150MB with the full app loaded. We are always working to compress it, which you will see in future updates, but we will not do that at the expense of the excellent content, videos, and interactivity that make Hooked on Phonics such a successful program.
If it’s taking too long to download or if the download fails, please completely delete the app from your device and move as close as you possibly can to your Wi-Fi signal. Try to avoid using your Wi-Fi during the download process. It could also help to change your Auto-Lock Setting to 15 MINUTES. (If you have it set at 2 MINUTES, your device could go to “sleep” during the download and cause a disruption.) Then try again. The download is fairly quick when the Wi-Fi signal is strong and the other factors are eliminated.
