Why

They are making us pay money even though we have deleted the app.

Refuses to open

Extremely disappointed. I signed up for the $80 a year, and I can’t even get into the app for the free trial.

Good app, when it works

I rarely write reviews, but the frustration with this app is unparalleled. When it works, this app seems great, kids love it, it does seem to take steps to teach reading. The problem is that the app needs to be uninstalled and reinstalled *every* single time we want to use it. This makes it practically unusable.

Quite good

Good progression for letters. The app could use a bit of work as it’s slow; you should prefetch the next lesson in the progression before it’s selected, there’s no reason to have loading delays in the UI. And make sure the UI components are clickable when they are rendered, currently theres a delay where the next lesson in the pathway is unresponsive. These just make it a bit confusing for the kiddo.

Don’t purchase this app

This game is only for toddlers and looks like it has ads.

Great App Ruined by Bugs and Nonexistent Support

We used Homer a few years ago and had a great experience, which makes the current state of the app especially disappointing. It clearly needs a major update to address ongoing bugs.

The app is essentially unusable for us. Most of the time, it won’t open at all—it either freezes on the home screen or displays an error message. I’ve contacted customer support multiple times and have yet to receive a response from an actual person.

What makes this even more frustrating is that I paid for a full year subscription and cannot use the service I paid for. I’ve repeatedly asked Homer to either fix the issues so we can use the app on our iPhone or refund the subscription, but my requests have gone unanswered.

Based on our previous experience, I know this app has the potential to be great, but I would not recommend subscribing in its current state. Don’t let the positive reviews fool you. Until Homer fixes these major technical issues and improves its customer support, it simply isn’t worth paying for.

SCAM

This app is a SCAM!! I got it through southwestern advantage which told me this app would be paid for through their program. Now both sides are saying no one can help with the app not even working!!!! This app is a scam and doesn’t load the lessons that are on the app, it shows the load bar and then goes back to the homepage. Also it’s not 55$ for the year, it was advertised on their app for 55$ since I couldn’t get it through southwestern advantage and then charged my card 70$

Charged me without notice

Charged me with no notice and I cancelled

Learning costs money??

Subscription based learning is a disease and my child should have access to the things they need without having to pay monthly to some developer to make millions.

No muestra nada

En realidad tuve que pagar dinero por esta app la cual no me muestra absolutamente nada, he descargado y borrado la app y no funciona sigue sin mostrarme nada en pantalla

Mostly stimulating content rather than learning - charged me when signed up for trial

I genuinely dislike this app. I would like to see more learning activities, but it’s mostly just videos, songs, stories, coloring pages and placing stickers. It’s more like watching TV than a learning game. And we continually get the same content in his daily moose lessons. I’m so sick of the same annoying cake video over and over. I do understand kids learn through play and through repetition, but this doesn’t seem like that. It just feels like content for them to stare at.
Another HUGE issue is that I never even wanted to buy this. We signed up for the week trial, but when I went to cancel it before the week was up, I saw that it charged me for a year subscription on the day it was supposed to start the trial, and I couldn’t do anything about it. I wish I could get my money back, I rarely even let my kid use the app, but I doubt the company cares considering all the bad reviews about payment. Truly disappointing, I don’t understand what others see in this app.

Good but glitchy

My kids love the app. They like the games and videos. The app doesn’t seem as reliable as it was in the past. Now every time we open the app I have to log in. It doesn’t work with the Apple password fill function, so I have to go to the other app, copy the password then come back. Which is annoying when you have to do it every time. It occasionally gets stuck on the blue screen and is a bit laggy at times. Hoping these issues clear up soon especially when we pay a good amount for app access.

Excellent app to learn how to read

I started using this app with my 3 year old. We did 15 min a day of the reading path and extra minutes for the extra activities. She is now 4 and it’s reading sight words and sounding out words. We increased the time to 20 min per day since she is older.
This app is wonderful but most of the success rate comes from you and your child having discipline, don’t expect miracles and results without it.

Subscription failure

I paid for my subscription but when I log in it takes me back to the subscription page to pay for it again. On the iPad it shows subscription paid, When I click restore purchases on the app nothing works. This app is all issues now I trusted it back in 2017 with son but now trying to use it with my toddler and it’s just a lot of issues.

Denied refund

My daughter accidentally purchased this app and the subscription renewed after the free trial and the app wouldn’t give me a refund even though it wasn’t me that purchased it.

Charged me immediately after download, never got a free trial

Scam.
