There is no reading/writing. There is no science. Do not waste your money. The library is solely about understanding your “feelings”. Where are the phonics or spelling lessons? **Developer response:** Hello -- We appreciate your feedback and apologize for the disappointment. We are so sorry that the Learn with Sesame Street experience was not what you expected, our HOMER app may be what you were looking for instead. Please contact us at support@learnwithhomer.com for additional assistance. ### 1/5 — Switch and bait *2023-10-26* I paid for this application a while back, and loved it. My kids loved it. My autistic students were also a fan as it dealt with a lot of social emotional lessons. However, recently with their updates, they are now looking for $60 fee… I already paid for this application! I should get all the content. However, now I got even less than before the update. Unless I pay $60. **Developer response:** Hello, your original purchase should cover the content. Please contact us at support@beginlearning.com and we’ll be happy to help you resolve your issue and restore your content. ### 1/5 — Games won’t load *2023-09-03* I paid for the full app and it doesn’t work! Please, don’t spend money on it :(! **Developer response:** We're sorry that you're having trouble.

I don’t know what happened, but now all the games cause the app to crash. Videos and everything else work fine, but the games were the best part. It crashes on my android and iOS devices. I contacted support but they couldn’t resolve the issue. Looking through recent reviews, it looks like I’m not the only one who is experiencing this. It’s unfortunate - my son used to love playing the games. ### 1/5 — Crashes constantly *2022-11-02* I downloaded it this morning and can’t even get it to run the first game after multiple attempts.
