### 2/5 — Drop-down for lessons isn’t working

*2026-03-31, version 2.2.11*

The drop down for picking the current lesson will not stay down on either device we have this on. So we can hardly pick the lesson we need if we aren’t fast enough- please fix this issue!

### 5/5 — Updated: family sharing

*2026-03-09, version 2.2.11*

Thank you so much for the explanation. I didn’t realize that is how app sharing works. I appreciate the walk through and was able to get it added with no issues!

I cannot get this app to allow family sharing with my children’s tablets for their school work. I’ve done all the things in our Apple family account and allowed sharing between all of our devices. However it asks me to pay the $19.99 on each of their tablets to allow them access to this app for their school work after I already purchased it on my phone.

### 2/5 — hardly works

*2026-02-23, version 2.2.11*

Hardly ever works. We have a hard time getting it to let us select the level and lesson which sucks when you are switching back and forth.

### 5/5 — Works great

*2026-02-12, version 2.2.11*

Works great after updating iOS. Prior to that it was broken

### 5/5 — Broken- doesn’t work at all

*2026-02-04, version 2.2.11*

Stuck on white screen. Tried reinstalling and on multiple devices

### 2/5 — Okay

*2026-01-20, version 2.2.11*

This app has been essential to teaching my kids their lessons with all about reading and spelling but lately the app has just been a plain white screen. I have to uninstall the app and redownload it each time we use it! It’s starting to get annoying!!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t support family sharing

*2025-12-28, version 2.2.11*

I cannot get this app to allow family sharing with my children’s tablets for their school work. I’ve done all the things in our Apple family account and allowed sharing between all of our devices. However it asks me to pay the $19.99 on each of their tablets to allow them access to this app for their school work after I already purchased it on my phone.

### 1/5 — Missing lesson specific tiles

*2025-11-28*

The app does not have the specific phonogram tiles. Example, Level 4 Lesson 30 should have the “ough” tile, and it does not. This is consistent throughout the app. For the price and the purpose of the app it should be perfect. They did a great job with the curriculum but this needs rework.

**Developer response:** Please make sure you have the correct program selected in the dropdown menu. When I checked just now, All About Reading Level 4, Lesson 30 DOES have the ough tile. All About Spelling Level 4, Lesson 30 does not because it hasn't taught it yet for spelling (so, if you chose spelling by mistake, the tile wouldn't show up). If this resolves your issue, we'd love it if you could give us more stars! If it doesn't, please contact us for support: https://www.allaboutlearningpress.com/contact/

We'd love to help you have a 5-star experience! ~Merry :-)

### 1/5 — No good

*2025-10-28, version 2.2.10*

I just spent $20 on a app that apparently is not meant for my phone and that was not clearly stated before we don’t have a tablet to use this on so I just bought it on Apple and have nowhere else I can use it on

### 1/5 — Only works 10% of the time

*2025-10-20, version 2.2.10*

Thuis app is so frustrating. It almost never works. I just get a blank screen. Deleting and downloading again doesn’t help. Force closing doesn’t help. I waste so much time trying to get it to work
