So Buggy Lately UPDATE: Time to go
I’ve been using Headsprout and RazKids for almost ten years in my classroom. In the past year it has gotten very buggy. It freezes while loading, crashes, or in Headsprout it started returning students to the screen where they need to select Headsprout or the book room after every single activity. It’s great when it works but lately it doesn’t, not on the app or browser (safari or chrome) on iOS, not on PCs in Chrome. Updates haven’t fixed anything and it seems to be getting worse. Students understandably get so upset when it freezes and they lose their progress and it wastes my time to try and troubleshoot and find workarounds. FIX THE SOFTWARE. We use other apps and software without issue and school subscriptions are reevaluated yearly. There’s no need to spend money if it doesn’t work. UPDATE: Instead of fixing Headsprout or incorporating it into their counterintuitive and obsolete the day it was released Foundations A-Z program, they shut it down. Headsprout was the best thing they ever put out and the reason is that they bought it from another company. I’m done with it. Reading Eggs is a pretty good replacement, but I will miss using Headsprout since it was a good supplementary program with a different and complimentary teaching order that really taught students to read.

Needs more support options
Overall, this seems like a good app for students to use. However, they need more options for support. There seems to be a glitch at level J right now. On the parent page, it shows that my child has completed 59/59 activities to move to level K. On the student page, it says she has one more activity to do to move up, but there are no activities available, so she’s stuck at level J. I tried emailing their support email, but got an auto-reply that it is not monitored and to use the chat option. However, it seems that their support chat is only available during typical M-F office hours, which is when a lot of parents are working. I wish they had someone available at least a couple hours in the evening or on Saturday.

I like this because I can do lots of things dress my character however I want and read so many books plus play the best game and I love the robot on the front cover he is my favourite part about kids Az and even know I’m 14 in can still play it my mom says that I have autism
Glitchy
The app is nice and all but when I am in a activity it restarts so I try again but it keeps on restarting so I give up and my teacher gets mad
Don’t by this
This app makes you restart every time you go out of an activity which is very annoying and need to be fixed also this app is really bad a learning and has bad activities. This app is very laggy and I don’t recommend you get it,
Finding the books!
Can you pls put a search bar or something because if you stop reading and turn off the app then when you want to finish the book you can’t even find it will I can’t so pls add something to make finding books easier!
-Thanks
