This one has lasted longer due to stricter use of it he isn’t left unattended and can’t have access to it for more than an hour. But he loves it I have definitely seen him making leaps and bounds of progress even in the 2 weeks he had the first one before breaking it. All this to make my point clear that my issue isn’t with the AILA device itself my issue is with the AILA for parents app as when the AILA device is in broadcast mode I will go to the app to start a learning lesson and it will say the AILA device is offline or turned off and in fact it’s not it will just be in broadcast mode I will try clicking start learning session 3 more times and get the same message prompting me to have to restart the AILA device just so I can actually start the learning session from the app I believe this is something that should be fixed the app should be able to tell that the device is in broadcast mode not offline or turned off. It should not be this difficult to go from broadcast mode to starting a learning lesson. Aside from this AILA is fantastic my son knows his alphabet and walks around saying random letters and the sounds they make— he is speech delayed amongst other things due to his birth so he doesn’t really interact much when prompted to show which bubble has what letter or what leaf or table or hat or guitar etc is a specific color even when I interact with it but I will keep interacting when these questions are asked so that he will see me respond and know that this is what is expected. ### 4/5 — Love this app *2021-12-15, version 1.0.0* But why can’t I choose the learning level with the last update? I can’t find it. ### 5/5 — Kyliec813 *2021-03-16, version 0.9.8* Easy to use. Our kids love AILA! ### 5/5 — We love AILA! *2021-03-16, version 0.9.8* We are big fans of AILA and the joy it brings our son! Learning made fun! ### 5/5 — Easy & Efficient *2021-03-16, version 0.9.8* We love our AILA app! Very informative about what my child is learning during each session with her AILA and it is very easy to use. We love it! ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-03-16, version 0.9.8* This app is simple and easy to use! Once paired with my AILA, it was so simple to send videos and images and to check-on my little girl! Can’t wait to see what they add next! ### 4/5 — App is almost perfect *2021-03-14, version 0.9.8* I love the app however, I never can check in. If that bug gets tweaked it would be perfect for me ! ### 3/5 — Tablet is great but app is buggy *2021-03-10, version 0.9.8* This tablet is a great learning resource for my toddler. However, the check-in feature on the app (to use the camera to see how your child is doing), as well as the send media feature do not work. It’s disappointing because for an expensive “toy” it doesn’t work as it’s supposed to. ### 5/5 — Love this *2021-02-22, version 0.9.8* I was nervous when my 18 month old was gifted an ‘electronic’ for Christmas, but this is great! It’s really easy to use and he loves it! I like that I can monitor what he’s learning. I also love that I can turn the device off from my app. You can send them pictures and they receive them as mail! There are so many great things about this and it’s so much better than the phone or tablet! ### 5/5 — 1.5 yr old *2021-02-19, version 0.9.8* This system is amazing for my almost 2 yr old. She sits and attends to it multiple times a day on her own accord and seems to enjoy it very much. Awesome design and educational curriculum! ### 3/5 — Disappointed *2021-02-01, version 0.9.8* I have twins, so I have two devices, but the app only supports one device. ### 5/5 — Works like a charm *2021-01-19, version 0.9.8* My daughter loves it and it’s great to be able to monitor/control it from this app! ### 5/5 — Samantha T *2021-01-14, version 0.9.8* This device is great and easy to navigate. Not only for infants but for parents as well. My 14 month olds daughter loves her Aila and plays with it on a daily basis. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — QR CODE FAIL *2022-01-13, version 1.0.0* My son got this as a Christmas gift. I downloaded the app, and no matter what I do or try it will not link with the QR code. And anyone I’ve emailed or reached out to about the problem either will tell me the same thing I’ve already tried and then just stop responding or they just won’t even answer in the first place. So, thanks for nothing! ### 1/5 — The program is not good *2021-11-13, version 0.9.10* The app looks nice but it's not easy to navigate. The program itself is probably the reason for the difficulty. It's just not good. The app could be the greatest thing ever but the program is a fail. I can get better and more interactive products from a free iPhone app. ### 1/5 — Useless *2021-10-22, version 0.9.10* This app and tablet are pretty much useless The tablet plays learning videos but child cannot interact so loses interest within 5 seconds of the very first video. Waste of money - i can play videos on my tv i Dont need this “tablet” Cannot skip through videos and has same characters over and over ### 1/5 — App continues to sway device is offline when it’s not *2021-08-11, version 0.9.9* I have removed and re-downloaded the app multiple time. Did all of the firmware updates and says I have the latest version of the app. Have reset device, unpaired and paired device again; multiple times. Then app will say it’s broadcasting, soon as I select start learning session it says device offline, but again the device isnt offline ### 1/5 — Purchased dec 2020 *2021-04-27, version 0.9.8* Has not recorded last 6 sessions. Constantly freezes. Not sure what’s going on. But def should not be giving so many issues after $300 ### 1/5 — App dont work! *2020-12-30, version 0.9.8* Iv only got the app to work once! Got the check in to work once! Also only got the send mail to work once! Iv tried to shut off the Aila with the app cant get it to work either. I think the app is a really good concept if it would work but it dont. Im using the app on a Iphone XS Max. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t seem to work *2020-06-20, version 0.9.4* The App doesn’t seem to do much at all. It doesn’t easily change from broadcast mode to lullaby, it also doesn’t stop the learning session when I oust stop. Starting a learning session takes forever. I don’t see the ability to have the sessions play one after another, in fact the settings section is empty besides unpairing and resetting the device. It’s also not tracking learning sessions. Overall needs significant work. **Developer response:** Hi Sam, Thank you for reaching out to us and providing valuable feedback. We're continuously working on improvement to the mobile app to address functionality. We'd like to share that when changing between the three learning modes of Broadcast, Learning Session, and Lullaby, the device will play through its current content on-screen before changing modes. We'd like to help troubleshoot with the Learning Session Summary which you should receive a push notification for after a Learning Session is completed. Please ensure you have push notifications on for the mobile app. In Past Learning Sessions section of the main menu, you'll be able to see all completed Learning Sessions. Please do note that a Learning Session must be completed fully for it to be logged. After a Learning Session is completed, the device will return to the default Broadcast mode for learning. Again, we appreciate your feedback with using the AILA For Parents mobile app as we continue to make improvements and updates. Please do reach out to us at info@animalisland.us if you have questions or experience further issues so that we can help you directly. Thank you. ### 1/5 — No stars *2020-05-17, version 0.9.3* The app worked once and now it doesn’t do anything. The device itself is stuck of reading the same book over and over. I try starting a session and it just shows a loading circle. ### 2/5 — Frustrating *2024-10-22* I received this product for my two year old. I download the app and had no problems. I get a new phone. I forget my password and it keeps telling me I’m getting a email that I never received. This is very frustrating. ### 3/5 — Issues with tablet along with customer service *2024-04-26* Our tablet will not connect to our WiFi and I’ve tried just about everything from restarting the tablet to turning it off and on and in saving the WiFi. I’ve tried to reach out to the customer service email which get emailed back that I will get taken care of around 24 hour but never get an email back than trying calling the number provided for it not to ring and immediately drop there no way to contact anyone. It’s frustrating to have all these “nice things said about ailas” but not get a chance to properly use it and only use the broad mode ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love this Aila for kids *2021-09-18, version 0.9.10* It is fantastic and really great thing for kid Very good for leaning lot of things at early age ### 5/5 — Love love love! *2021-05-06, version 0.9.8* So far we are loving it!

Love Love !!!!! *2021-03-16, version 0.9.8* AILA is the amazing item ever for preschoolers!! It’s worth investment for parent with toddler. My son who is 22 months old, I’ve seen progress in his learning with the “learning sessions”. He loves the animals and has fun with them. All the characters are super cute so he loves to mimic them. We can send picture or video through the parents app that is free to download. He is learning more and more and being educated!! I highly recommend it !! ### 5/5 — Awesome app! *2021-03-16, version 0.9.8* We love the AILA parent app! It’s easy to use and I love being able to check in my daughter when I’m in meetings. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
