Kids have to login again and again. ### 1/5 — Not working *2025-05-22, version 2.0.080525* It's opening and working but when I tap on an exercise and it's about to start, it restarts again. ### 1/5 — It crashes *2025-04-12* It crashes **Developer response:** We're really sorry you're experiencing this issue. Please reach out to us at support@otsimo.com with the details of your problem so we can help you better. ### 1/5 — Frustration with support *2024-09-25* I dont know if the product is good. I have the app on my phone because when doing the trial with a student it was accidentally purchased. Can’t use the app with students on my phone. Tried to get a refund from Apple and the App provider and they have not refunded me or given advice on how to transfer the purchase to another device. Now I am a teacher that has to pay for the app with my own money that students can’t use. Wish I could actually review a product rather than review the support. It seems to be a theme within the reviews. Do not purchase and be careful to not get sucked into a subscription when doing a free trial. **Developer response:** We're really sorry you're experiencing this issue. Please reach out to us at support@otsimo.com with the details of your problem so we can help you better. ### 1/5 — Rip off *2024-03-15, version 2.0.220308* I had paid for the app, and it also had pulled from my Apple Pay but it keeps showing that I don’t have a subscription and that I need to pay for it when I’ve put money into this. ### 1/5 — Not a Free App *2024-03-14, version 2.0.220308* After downloading, sharing information about my child, and creating a login, I discovered that this app wanted to charge a monthly fee. It also indicated that I could have a 1 week free trial, but wouldn’t go past that screen. ### 1/5 — Totally worthless. SCAM *2023-12-06, version 2.0.220308* My daughter loved this app & since she’s 3.5 years old but still has a lot of trouble forming words (only able to say maybe 5 words clearly/that other people can understand) - despite understanding at least 90% of the English language, I purchased an annual subscription without hesitation. I regret that decision greatly, as now we cannot afford another app. She did great with Otsimo at first & even started speaking a lot more clearly. But that didn’t last, as we had a lot of issues that I initially thought was caused by the audio from the children speaking within the app - so I purchased her a headset. That did nothing & she soon reverted back to the way she spoke before. After that, I realized even when she didn’t make a single sound in a quiet room, the app would pass her & she’d be taken to the next level. I’ve never been so infuriated with an app & feel extremely cheated. Its unbelievably cruel & disgusting that a company would take advantage of children with speech delay and/or special needs. It makes me sick. I unsubscribed to Otsimo & at the end of the year I plan to use Homer for educational support. However to parents looking for a cheaper alternative to apps aimed directly at speech therapy: We just discovered “Paw Patrol Academy” which has some pretty cool games directed towards letters & their sounds. Since pretty much every toddler these days is obsessed with Paw Patrol, I’d say that’s one which is definitely worthy of a subscription, even if it doesn’t work out specifically for speech related issues. [Our story] My daughter’s issues stem from/started with extremely low confidence due to emotional abuse from her father, which then forced us to bounce from home to home and now we are stuck in limbo as we wait for our forever-home to be built. She gave up on everything, and is now severely behind on everything too. She even had to get 90% of her teeth capped because of the damage her father did (which screwed up her confidence even more, as well as making it harder for her to speak clearly)… no child deserves a mouth full of silver teeth. Where we live, the wait time to see any pediatric therapist is 17 months - not even taking into account the wait time to see a therapist within a more specialized field such as speech pathology. So… there’s no choice but to use whatever resources we have at our disposal. So with that said, it makes me even more sick for an app like this to scam innocents. My little girl has been through enough suffering. Shame on you for making life even harder for my sweet girl - who goes above & beyond to make every single person around her happy (both loved ones & total strangers). Please do NOT purchase a subscription to this app. If you are still determined to do so after reading this review (and the other negative reviews which I somehow missed), try a monthly subscription first - NOT annual. I wish I hadn’t been so hasty to spend +$50 on this app, but I got so excited when she showed such interest in it & I genuinely just want what’s best for my little girl - who is literally my entire world and I’d do absolutely anything for (which means I’ll be single the rest of my life and I am totally content with that if it means she is happy, healthy, and never feels less than my everything). Thank you for your time. ### 1/5 — Not SLP *2023-12-06* This is not a bad app but it’s dishonest marketing. It’s not a replacement for SLP services and could delay parents in seeking out services which means missing valuable time in therapy. It’s not individualized and literally just works on imitation. Working on imitation is great but it does not target play skills, could delay AAC or signs, does not increase functional communication, and does not help articulation. ### 1/5 — Not that useful *2023-07-31, version 2.0.220308* It’s just a marketing scam. Only a few words have videos, rest, just a kid repeats the word. Not useful at all. And I’m pretty sure I singed up for monthly but it charged me yearly subscription ### 1/5 — Transaction system bug *2022-09-10* I downloaded this app for a annual membership which provide 7 days free trial. I tried this app and it was too simple for my son so I cancelled the subscription right away. It turned out the expiration date will be a year later which means the 7 day free trial didn’t exist. I don’t know if it is a bug but I’m not happy with this! **Developer response:** Hello, all payments and billings are handled by Apple, it is not a process we manage.
