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. ### 3/5 — Homer *2026-02-08, version 11.4.0* Just great Try it! It’s amazing 🙂 ### 2/5 — Great, WHEN it works *2025-10-11, version 11.1.0* My kids loved this app from the first time trying it. It’s very user friendly and has a good variety of activities. The problem comes from the fact that half of the time the app won’t even open. It’ll go through the little HOMER jingle and will stay on a blue screen. I’ve trouble shot it but nothing helps. For 80 dollars for the year subscription I should be able to count on the app WORKING. ### 3/5 — I miss the old homer… *2025-09-25, version 11.1.0* I hope this is seen by the developers because this feels important to me. I used to love this game when I was like 5 because I loved the characters and the art style and the stories and everything about it. But then they changed. They slowly replaced all of their characters and I don’t think they even have homer the pigeon anymore. I still remember that the raccoon liked lemonade and nip and nap and the article on lions and that story with the owls. So if a developer is reading this please bring back the old homer that we know and love. ### 2/5 — Keeps crashing *2025-08-23, version 11.0.2* App keeps crashing, I’ve been having to delete and reupload which is disappointing. My kids love the learning materials but it’s no fun paying when it doesn’t work half the time. ### 1/5 — Mom *2025-07-04, version 10.31.0* I hate it! Worst app ever ### 1/5 — Unable to login *2025-06-23, version 10.31.0* First it was under maintenance for like a week, now my password is “wrong” and I keep trying to reset it but I never get the reset email. Waist of my money! ### 3/5 — Constant loading *2025-06-22, version 10.31.0* Several of the games on the app will not work. When my child selects the game he wants to play it will not come up. It has a constant spinning wheel. Nothing will fix it unless I completely close the app. Even when I do close the application it will still have the spinning wheel of death on the same game within the app. ### 2/5 — This app would be cool if it worked *2025-06-10, version 10.31.0* We were able to use it for one day. The second day we opened it, it isn’t working on 3 different devices and it is not a connection issue. From what we experienced, this app would have been perfect for my kids to learn their letters and math. I’m bummed! ### 4/5 — One problem *2025-06-10, version 10.31.0* I love this Game but There’s a big bug ### 1/5 — App *2025-06-06, version 10.31.0* I signed in for my 5 year old daughter I answered all of the questions at the start and when I had FINALLY finished the questions it asked me to pay I’ve been told that I can be a tight wad but I don’t think that I don’t think that I should have to PAY for my kid to be able to play some games but I guess I was wrong VERY VERY VERY DISAPPOINTED I am SO deleting THIS APP 😡🤬😤 ### 4/5 — The exiting thing about homer! *2025-05-24, version 10.31.0* So i was playing on homer happhily but i think you need to add school grade levels and put appropiate activites for the grade levels from pre-k to 5th grade ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — SCAM *2026-09-01, version 11.9.0* 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$ ### 1/5 — Charged me without notice *2026-07-31, version 11.7.0* Charged me with no notice and I cancelled ### 1/5 — Learning costs money?? *2026-07-10, version 11.7.0* 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. ### 1/5 — No muestra nada *2026-06-07, version 11.6.1* 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 ### 1/5 — Mostly stimulating content rather than learning - charged me when signed up for trial *2026-06-06, version 11.6.1* 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. ### 1/5 — Subscription failure *2026-01-05, version 11.4.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Denied refund *2025-12-30, version 11.4.0* 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. ### 1/5 — Charged me immediately after download, never got a free trial *2025-12-03, version 11.3.1* Scam. ### 1/5 — U just kicked me right out of the game WTH *2025-07-27, version 10.31.0* I was going to create winter sports but u kicked me out of the game what the F man p.s please add a dog man game ### 1/5 — Same Content for 2yrs???! *2025-07-07, version 10.31.0* I’ve had this app for 2 years. The first year, my son (2yo) at the time loved it. However, over time, the content never changed or got updated. And the subscription is not cheap. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — This is a good ap *2026-04-17, version 11.5.0* I am 8 and this app is really good ### 5/5 — DOMER *2026-03-22, version 11.5.0* DOMER DOMER DOMER DOMER DOMER DOMER ### 5/5 — Shseuhedy *2026-02-01, version 11.4.0* If I write.

Ea s I hate the game which I do I only have it five stars so it would be at. The top ### 5/5 — Excellent app to learn how to read *2026-01-20, version 11.4.0* 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. ### 5/5 — Best game ever *2025-09-13, version 11.1.0* this game is such a good game for kids. This game made my kid be able to read whenever they were in kindergarten. which seriously doesn’t happen very often and it makes it super easy for bedtime and a lot of stuff like that. I highly recommend getting this app for your kids to listen to his other aunt. I wish this game had ads that my kid loves this game. I love this game got a chart. She did it every single night before he went to bed and she got smart every single day best app ever five stars please get this out for your child ### 5/5 — HOMER *2025-08-10, version 11.0.1* HOMER Is A Really Good App That Can Help Your Child Learn And Grow As This App Is HOMER Your Child Will Love It Give HOMER A Try ### 5/5 — Homer the 😊 great 😌 *2025-06-01, version 10.31.0* Homer is the best when you install it you will feel like not deleting it 😍 ### 5/5 — We love SWA!! *2025-05-14, version 10.31.0* The southwestern advantage dealers do such a great job and hooked me up with Homer.
