Confusion

Is it just me but when I uploaded this game I was really confused. My child heard all about this game and when she uploaded it and asked me to help her I didn’t know where to tap. My husband also had some trouble there is also a lot of glitches and my daughters iPad is a week new

Please if your reading this fix the changes and also like me on tiktok

App no longer working!

We love homer! My daughter loves going on her iPad and doing her « schoolwork ». She uses it typically daily as a form of her homeschooling and gets a set amount of screen time just for homer. Until about a week or so ago and still to this day! The app no longer works on any device. We have reset multiple different devices, removed and re-downloaded the app on different devices and NOTHING works. The app just sits in a « loading » screen before you even get to choose what child is playing. It doesn’t load EVER no matter how long we let it sit. It isn’t our internet because everything else works just fine!

I am very disappointed by this and hope it gets fixed soon because my daughter has not been happy without her homer, and on top of it- I am paying for something that cannot even be used right now!

Absolutely Brilliant!

I came across app by chance and it is honestly the best subscription I commit to. My 3 year old daughter thoroughly enjoys it and has progressed so much, attempting to read and spell everything she sees! And on top of that... she writes her name and other words `(she has learnt to spell) so well for her age. She jumps on near enough every day and is progressing consistently. My clients, friends and family members have all seen her growth and signed up! In my daughters own words “I like learning to read, drawing and any kind of part of it with Milly and Homer. I love them”.
Highly recommended! Invest in your children.

Wow! We cannot thank you enough for taking the time to leave us this review. We are so happy to hear that Aiy-May is loving learning with HOMER!

Last update is terrible

Typically love this app, however the recent update makes it feel like a waste of money.

It takes 5 minutes to load open once selecting a child’s profile, and for my eldest it won’t open the next game/level so he is stuck as the levels won’t progress

Fail

Thought this would help my toddler with the basic ABC’s but it took him straight to learning words even though I filled out the test saying he was a beginner. Also don’t like the fact that you have to subscribe to monthly payments to begin using it.

RIP off

My wife downloaded this “free” app for our 2 young children. Turned out to be rubbish, she didn’t sign up to anything and the app was quickly deleted. Yet for the last god knows how many months as I can only check 90 days history, they’ve been taking £5.99 from my debit card as a continuous payment which I never agreed or signed up too! Also try finding a link to try get a refund or talk to someone, I’ll wait. Con artists.

Because we are a subscription based program, which allows you to access HOMER across a variety of platforms and devices, uninstalling the app will not cancel your membership. We try to make this as clear as possible during the sign up, and apologize for any confusion. For assistance, please reach out to our Member Expereince team at support@homerapp.com and include the email address associated with the account. Thank you for your time!

Learning done right.

My son is not interested in learning letters/reading. This has engaged him with fun simple learning games that are mixed with creative games in just the right amount. He loves them. Also, the way it’s set up forces him to do the things he’s not as interested in to do the games/activities in the next level he is interested in. He went from refusing to attempt drawing letters to being excited he accomplished one on his own in about a (of playing every other day) week. Much better than other learning apps because it’s not too busy and keeps kids on a path that they are forced to learn on. I’m thankful for it. I had to force him to play mouse but he asks to play this!

🤔

Does this app only work properly on certain devices??
My daughter has been using it on my iPhone 6, majority of the time she can’t see the whole screen properly so she’s just guessing and pressing answers
