I had no choice to purchase

Having a son with Autism, I had no choice to purchase this even though there’s still lots of bugs, books isn’t working, and the sound isn’t right in a part of the reading academy on the ABC Track, if it’s supposed to mimic a robot, then it is not sensory processing friendly with the volume going in and out. If continues to glitch and we are doing the same lesson over and over again, because it freezes up and we end up having to do a wrong answers.

My math ended up being totally different and we enjoyed the old ways and again we get kicked out due to glitches

Again, it’s not cost friendly and I won’t be using it for homeschooling, because I am just buying 2 major programs and a lot of other programs that have been taking off of good ol’ ABC Mouse and put on here. Since Ages of Learning still want to show that they have My Math and My Reading images on ABC mouse, but been off the program for over 2 years. This has been a constant reminder of these two programs for my son. It doesn’t help him forget. My son’s school doesn’t have the the program and I simply can just “ask” for them to get the school programs so I wouldn’t have to pay for this. Thank you Ages of a learning for making my son cry again, when you finally booted us from My Math in July and now my son will have to start all over for the 5th time. The program was better on ABC Mouse and clearly hasn’t been updated because you reach a certain point where you just collect coins and not spend them. The video the child can go back and watch from the IPad after collecting puzzle pieces was a much better reward Also this is the second time I have posted on here, and the first time was taking down. Ages Of Learning you might as well put the hamster game on there

A really big disappointment

I got this app because my child loves abc mouse. But honestly it has been nothing but a waste of money. From the time the free trial ended it has been nothing but glitches. Mainly in the My Reading Academy portion. It has consisted glitches it doesn’t load the books and one day I had to refresh the screen 40 times just to get the books to appear and two seconds later it glitched again no books. If they can get the My Reading Academy to work properly it would be a great app. But honestly as of right now I wouldn’t pay for it the amount of time it takes to keep refreshing the app to get it to work properly is taking away from the time my kid could be learning.

App has no sound

this may be a result of the current update. I just started my trial and have spent two hours troubleshooting. IPad Pro is updated, app is updated, system has been rebooted. Setting are as per customer service, and still no sound. I really wanted to use this and will be unable to even complete the trial.

Doesn’t work

I’m not paying for a app that doesn’t work all the time! Most times the app doesn’t even want to load and sometimes the lessons don’t want to load or work properly

Screen Orientation is awful. Bugs

So, this app has some portions of it that only work in portrait screen orientation. If you are using the app on an iPad in a case with a stand be prepared to be constantly turning the iPad. I reached out to support about this asking they fix it as it makes using the app pretty difficult and they responded that they have no plans to fix this issue. There’s definitely some carry over of bugs from ABC Mouse- content never loading until you force quit and restart, blank screens, sometimes when I put in my parent password to access settings the screen never progresses from the password entry screen. A force quit shows my password was accepted. It’s *working* but I’m also making it work.

Ages of learning are crocks.

For three years now, ages of learning will put programs on to ABC mouse and then take them off. This causes a child to get extremely upset when something that actually makes them learn is taken away. That’s not good for their mental status. My son love my math Academy, which we found and we were lucky to get a subscription for it before it was made school only. My reading academy with another great program to ABC mouse once has but they also took it away to school only. Now here they come with homeschool plus for $500 a year. A preschooler does not need Spanish. A preschooler does not need anatomy a preschooler doesn’t need geographic my preschooler want my reading academy, which should be sold separately. The concept of homeschooling is doing what what you want to do. That’s the freedom of homeschooling, but unfortunately ages of learning found a way to make it a group only. We tried this for two days. Our iPad does not work with HomeSchoolp+ so they basically told me I have to pay $1000 for another! outrageous, not happening. They suggest us to use laptop, OK but how is my son supposed to trace letters when a laptop doesn’t allow you to trace? He can’t even drag correctly, so how is he supposed to drag? This is outrageous, and very sad on ages of learning part. I get absolutely nowhere and keep getting sent to Jeanette who just repeats and I can’t speak to no one about just getting a My Reading academy. It’s pretty sad when a company who is all about “learning” will put programs on ABC mouse and take it away again it’s not good for a child. My son doesn’t even want touch ABC mouse anymore because of this this is. He stopped leaning letter due to this! It’s funny how abc mouse still use the Shapies from My Math and Nano from My reading on there program which is completely advisement
