I emailed support and have not received a reply or any help. At $60 this is one of the most expensive apps I have and it doesn’t even work. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2020-05-18, version 1.0.6* I wanted to use it with my students, but it is so unstable. ### 1/5 — Brainpop ELL application has a purchase restore problem *2020-03-06, version 1.0.5* I made the payment of the Brainpop ELL application with an apple prepaired card. I bought all the levels. The application was accidentally deleted from the iped. now all levels of Brainpop ELL are locked in my Iped. I was using the application without username and password. I pressed the Restore button but the problem was not solved. I emailed to company of Brainpop ELL 3 times, but they did not solve my problem. I don't want to pay about 50 USD again. ### 1/5 — Update *2020-02-16, version 1.0.5* This app won’t create a account so I want to tell you I want to create an account I want an update to say create an account how about that? ### 1/5 — Username and password *2019-03-17, version 1.0.4* Why in the world do we have to use a username and password to watch a video!!! ### 1/5 — It constantly crashes every time I open the app!!! *2018-01-16, version 1.0.3* It constantly crashes every time I open the app!!! ### 2/5 — No Offline Mode!!! *2016-06-14, version 1.0.1* Useless without being able to watch videos offline. That's it. ### 2/5 — Tim ;( *2014-08-23, version 1.0* Why would they get rid of Tim he was like the main character ### 3/5 — Great except when embarrassing me in class *2016-05-24, version 1.0.1* What a great premise and concept. I'm an English teacher and I thought I'd introduce the app to two private students. Apparently I should have tested it more completely, as only about half of a lesson sections worked properly. Most unusable were the audio recording portions where students can listen to some phrases, then repeat and record them and have their voices implemented immediately into a story (at least something like this, it was about two months ago). ### 3/5 — Trying hard, but not really succeeding *2015-12-01, version 1.0* The app ran very slowly on my iPad, and I found it was pretty inefficient as a means to learn English. I tried the present progressive practice section and it had little in the way of practice of the grammar structure (s bev ving ). It would certainly be a slow and gap-filled way to learn this subject area. ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — I use this every day for ESL classes for young learners *2021-04-16, version 1.0.7* Are use this app so often that it has become a signature of mine when teaching ESL classes. Students really enjoy the visual imagery and also the level of vocabulary and reading comprehension that they have garnered from the exercises within this app. Best part about it, is that it’s a one time fee and no subsequent subscription fees. I highly recommend anyone who teaches English as a second language to pre-primary school kids, to get this app. Note: as of April 15, 2021, the app does not work with the current iOS. Here’s looking forward to a new update from the developers very soon. ### 5/5 — Special thanks for your supports *2015-07-19, version 1.0* Hi my name is Abdullah and I have a nickname it's fire wizard ### 5/5 — Really fun ! :0) :D *2014-08-20, version 1.0* Wow I really like it but Tim is who made brainpop more funnier in my opinion ### 5/5 — Fun way to learn English *2014-08-19, version 1.0* Movie and fun activities look like great program for my kids. Can't believe this is all in one app ### 5/5 — AWESOME!! *2014-08-17, version 1.0* Everything brainpower is is amazing and this is no exception. The animation is beautiful and the videos are educational and fun to watch. My kids especially love the quizzes at the end of each piece. ### 5/5 — I love it *2014-08-16, version 1.0* I love brain pop ### 4/5 — Great app, but missing something *2017-04-20, version 1.0.1* This is a great app to use in the classroom. The kids love Moby and Ben. But it would be much better if the videos could be downloaded ### 4/5 — Different stuff *2015-08-05, version 1.0* Why does Ben's voice sound like a woman? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
