Is there a phonics app that shows parents what their child has learned and where they need more practice?
Lumi Letters's Parent Zone gives parents a view of learning data, the ability to export PDF practice sheets, and a progress backup that survives phone replacements — all with a one-time purchase, no subscription.

Short answer
Lumi Letters is designed with two users in mind: the child who plays, and the parent who wants to understand what their child has learned without interrogating them. The Parent Zone is accessible behind a parental gate and shows which letters are mastered, which still need reinforcement, and at what level the child is currently working. Parents can export a level-matched PDF practice sheet to bridge screen and paper learning. Progress can be exported as a local backup file and restored on a new device — so a phone replacement or family sharing across devices does not erase months of progress.
Try Lumi Letters on a real example first, and check the current App Store listing for exact features and pricing before you decide.
