*2026-05-18*

This app used to work but now when we log in and press play it never starts. It spins and goes back to the play button screen.

### 1/5 — No Response

*2025-04-08*

In mid March I paid for full access to this app for my 3 yr old granddaughter. Although I have submitted an issue to both Begin Learning in the app and to Apple, I have received NO response and still cannot use the full app. Feels like this is a scam app. Please either fix or issue a refund.

**Developer response:** We're sorry to hear about your experience. We'd like to hear more about what went wrong so we can address the issue. If you are experiencing any trouble with the app or subscription please contact us via email at support@beginlearning.com.

*2025-01-11*

When I open the app and press play on the main menu to load the app, the app fails to load and stays at the main screen. I have already tried deleting and redownloading the app, and when I try to send an email to customer support, it won’t even send the email in the app from the parent screen.

### 1/5 — App won’t load any content

*2024-09-21*

Paid 40$ and can’t open anything on the iPad…

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2024-08-25*

Can’t get the app to work after purchasing 2 brand new iPads since it’s unavailable on fire. 
And now, It will show videos but won’t allow any games to be played. 
I also can’t access the parent information on the back end and emailed the company 2 days ago. If you are paying monthly for a subscription, it should work From day 1.

**Developer response:** I'm so sorry to know that you're having a hard time accessing what you've paid for. For better assistance kindly shoot us an email at support@learnwithhomer.com
