Support the app ☕
Phonics Check Buddy is completely free, with no login and no ads. If it’s been useful to your family and you’d like to chip in towards keeping it running, thank you — it genuinely means the world.
Nothing here is gated. Donating never unlocks anything, because there’s nothing locked. Every paper, every practice run, every monster sticker is free for everyone, forever. A donation is a thank-you, not a purchase.
Where the money goes
Any donations go to Broadhurst Digital Limited, the small UK company behind this app, and are put straight back into it:
- Hosting — keeping the site fast and online.
- Keeping it free — so no family ever hits a paywall or a “sign up to continue” screen.
- Time to improve it — adding new papers each year and fixing anything that breaks.
It’s made by a UK parent who wanted a simple, honest way to practise the phonics screening check at home — no upsells, no data-selling, just a friendly tool that does one job well.
