Not As Expected/Not Useful
Two problems with this app. First it crashes every time you click on the book icon, so you can’t access that area of it. Secondly, it gives you the option of choosing content in various languages besides English, but I didn’t see anything in the parts I could access. The videos are okay, but might as well watch the Cocomelon ones instead of paying for another app.

Paid and still got trial version. Not happy with the app
App doesn’t work
Garbage
Can’t sign in😡😡😡😡
Amazing! Worth every penny!
Absolutely amazing! My son loves it. We don't give him much screentime. This has been goood. Happy boy and happy mummy.
Easy to use for my 3 y/o
My son jumped right in and seemed to understand it better than me. He likes the music machine part the most.
Good
So it's good but it costs £5.99 and it has a glitch where it cuts the video down to like 20 seconds when it's meant to be 6 minutes long..but apart from that it's a great app! And like the other reviews I agree it's brilliant for kids education if they are 3-14
App wonky, and price not sustainable
I paid monthly for this app for over a year. Before long, I noticed it lacked smooth transitions between the main menu screen and things to do. The main menu is an interesting layout but not everything is obvious. Then, it would not remember the sign in - acting like my sign-in was incorrect, which couldn’t have been possible. I’m a busy mom, and don’t have lots of time to figure out an app that keeps having quirks. Also - I don’t let my kids on my phone hardly ever. They were cut off cold turkey from YouTube before I got this app - but that does not mean that I have any need for them to use my phone for play. This app is not bad, I’m sure they have made improvements, but when I saw subscriptions can easily be canceled in my phone settings - this came to mind. Every month doing my budget, I’d get annoyed at this payment considering the sign-on and navigational quality issues I had with the app - why I’m spending $100 a year for something not even tangible - just unreal. Think the price point is too high. Price lower - and don’t raise it - and get more long term customers.

Not British English
I don’t want my child saying Zee instead of Zed. Deleted and installed BBC apps instead.
Great content but now keeps crashing
We’ve been using HighBrow app for months now and it’s been great. Unfortunately the app keeps crashing while watching videos after the most recent update. Please fix!
Do not download this app, will sign you up to a subscription and take money from you .
Download free app and got charged for a subscription Not happy.
Very well created app
My kids love this app for all the variety of things that they can learn, especially languages.
Wondering if the app will incorporate Portuguese as well?

Annoying
I never gave consent to pay for this app! As soon as I saw that I had to pay after a month I deleted the app immediately and. Now I see that you have been charging me monthly which is very annoying!!!
A couple issues!
I got the app to review it for my nieces and nephews. It sounded like it had a variety of information that would educate & delight them.
Couldn’t get past the register or sign in page.
Also, nowhere, That I could easily find, was the pricing for this app. It just says “in App pricing”.
Well where does one find how much this costs?
If I ran into these 2 hiccups in such a short time. What other irritations are waiting for a potential customer?
NIX - until they get the basic requirements of business straightend out.

Great idea safe stuff for kids but..
Not easy to navigate kids have trouble on home page to get to videos etc . Needs bigger pictures for them to identify things . When use Disney or bbc kids the shows easy for them to choose . Would look to make more user friendly and monthly charge quite a lot vs other apps content .
LoAding
The app is always having loading problems.

Good content
My toddler daughter is enjoying these videos. And it’s nice they provide some education.
It would be nice if the videos could be downloaded for times when there’s no WiFi available.

Thank you for your review. We now have the ability to download videos for offline viewing and hope you will try this out!
Disappointing
I was very disappointed, purchased for my 7 year old, £5.99 a month after trial, quickly cancelled as I knew right away it was for her, I have browsed it twice since but most content I seen was video based which is available on YouTube, I thought it was a progress learning app for kids, but there is not much interaction, there are things in the room that do nothing when touched, only music player, pc art videoed and video reels that play basic learning videoed like a hot air balloon etc, quite boring would not pay a subscription

No diversity
Unfortunately, I can't enjoy the great content with my son because there is hardly and diversity in the characters. The first three videos we watched featured a white girl and as a young boy of color it's important he sees diverse groups of people.

Thank you for your feedback! We are continuously adding new content from all around the world including India, Latin America and Africa. We aim to have a diverse and inclusive content library and are always looking to work with local producers to share their content on Highbrow. We hope you will give Highbrow another chance soon :)
Overall great app! Kids love it
The app was impressively easy to navigate and has quality content! It keeps my younger, information-seeking nieces and nephews completely engaged. The videos are both educational and entertaining and I’m glad they’ve been screened before hand and even broken down into age groups. I’ve been trying to get the rest of my family to download the app for their kids! Would definitely recommend
