It downloaded fine but whenever I tried to play something it wouldn’t work. I tried resetting big my phone but all it said was device offline you can watch content already purchased but cannot view or buy new grades . ### 3/5 — Convenient but has issues *2025-05-11, version 2.2.3* It’s great for the convenience of being able to quickly look up the syllabus, but certain features don’t work properly and other features that should really be there are missing. The most obvious issue is that grade 7 is missing. There are some glitches, e.g. Setting the playback speed to 0.5x, scrubbing, then pressing play causes the video to playback at normal speed, even though it says it’s still playing back at half speed. This gets annoying after a while. There should also be an option to mirror the video, so that you can dance along without struggling to translate the movements into the correct orientation in your head as you go. At the moment I have to face my iPad away from me and place a mirror in front of it to get the desired effect, which isn’t really very convenient. ### 2/5 — Não funciona *2025-04-07* O app é compatível com meu iPhone mas os vídeos não abrem. ### 2/5 — Can’t transfer to another device *2025-01-06, version 2.2.3* My daughter has her own iPad now but I’m not able to put it on her device. So every time she wants to use the videos she has to use my iPad. Very frustrating. Now I’m not sure whether to purchase the grade 3 video on my iPad or hers. If I purchase on hers then not all the videos will be on the one device. Could you please fix this? ### 4/5 — Good *2024-10-30, version 2.2.3* I like this app a lot but I I wished it had Tap too ### 2/5 — Cannot use family sharing *2024-07-01, version 2.2.3* I purchased the app for my daughter as I don’t allow her to purchase anything on her iPad but she cannot access the purchase on her iPad through family sharing to practice, so has to use my phone when she’d like to practice. Kind of defeats the purpose of having it ### 1/5 — No family sharing!! *2024-04-04, version 2.1.0* Please fix family sharing. It only plays on my phone (and can’t rotate the videos to full-screen horizontal view so it’s tiny!) and I bought it for my daughter’s IPad. I now can’t share as it won’t allow family sharing. VERY FRUSTRATING! ### 1/5 — Helpful but... *2024-03-25, version 2.1.0* Is super helpful for classwork etc BUT it now won’t restore my purchases on one of my apple devices ( same Apple ID)! I contacted the address given on the app but they said it was a n Apple problem and now I stuck 🤦🏻‍♀️ ### 2/5 — Can’t transfer to another device *2024-03-22* My daughter has her own iPad now but I’m not able to put it on her device. So every time she wants to use the videos she has to use my iPad. Very frustrating. Could you please fix this? ### 1/5 — Family Sharing Issue *2024-03-15, version 2.1.0* Please fix this so the app can be shared. $30 is a decent amount to be paying for an app and very frustrating that it doesn’t allow access through family sharing. ### 3/5 — what is the problem? *2024-03-15* I can't play my videos at all! ### 1/5 — Amazing *2024-02-11, version 2.1.0* This app is the best I was bottom of my class but after I practiced using this app I was at the top of my class It really helps when you need practice ### 2/5 — Family Sharing - Please help *2023-12-24, version 2.1.0* Can you please help in allowing Family Sharing. It is already expensive but having to purchase for each of my children so they can practice on their own devices is crazy. ### 1/5 — No Family Sharing *2023-09-23, version 2.1.0* I cannot believe I cannot share this app on my kids devices! Very expensive to have to have just one iPad with everything in one. ### 2/5 — Con la última actualización no funciona bien *2023-09-07, version 2.1.0* Desde hace dos semanas no me deja ver el vídeo a pantalla completa. No se puede volcar la imagen y se ve muy pequeño. Muy incómodo para trabajar. ### 1/5 — No family sharing *2023-08-24, version 2.1.0* Really terrible that there is no family sharing. Y wife made the purchases, so we can’t get the videos on my iPad making it really hard to use. Very disappointing. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — HORRIBLE ALWAYS FROZEN *2026-07-22, version 2.4.1* when I got this app I was so exited to progress on my exam I spent 30 dollars and as soon as I click a exercise it goes frozen I can’t get on the video and ai and all the rad websites could not help me HORRIBLE APP ### 1/5 — Scammed!! *2026-07-09, version 2.4.1* I downloaded the app and bought the intermediate package. But every time I clicked on a dance, nothing would happen. I got the update, and reset my device but nothing worked. ### 1/5 — download keeps failing *2026-02-13, version 2.4.1* It keeps saying “download failed” when i try and download my int foundation set, and my internet is absolutely fine and i have storage. $40 wasted! ### 1/5 — No sharing - buyer beware *2026-02-03, version 2.4.1* They REFUSE to allow family sharing, forcing you to PAY for the SAME thing if you have multiple children. They are aware but treat us like CASH COWS. Predatory behaviour, knowing the syllabus is only useful for one year and not allowing family sharing for siblings to utilise on their devices. ### 1/5 — PÉSSIMO *2025-07-11* PÉSSIMO! Comprei Primary e nem sequer consegui usar porque os vídeos não abrem. PÉSSIMO! ### 1/5 — Fundamental flaw - cannot cast to TV *2025-03-30, version 2.2.3* My daughter is required to use this app to practice, however how is she expected to do that on a tiny iPhone screen? At least have a web based version where I can use a laptop? Just seems rediculous for the money I pay for this app. ### 1/5 — It doesn’t work *2024-11-24, version 2.2.3* I got this a week ago,and it was working fine.But now it refuses to play any of the videos.Very disappointed,because it was very useful. ### 1/5 — Doesn’t allow family sharing *2024-09-10, version 2.2.3* Please update to allow family sharing. My daughter is old enough for her own device, it was not stated upfront that family sharing wasn’t enabled. I now have to let her use my device or pay again for it on her device. Please enable family sharing or refund me so I can purchase on her device. ### 1/5 — Where is Grade 6&7 female ballet? *2024-06-29, version 2.2.3* This is a good app. The only thing I would say is disappointing is that there is no grade 6&7 female ballet, or grade 8 male or female ballet. There is grade 6&7 male ballet, but why is there no grade 6&7 female ballet? This app will have no use to me as I currently only need grade 6&7 female ballet. ### 1/5 — No Family sharing and cannot rotate video to landscape *2024-04-26, version 2.1.0* Average app but terrible set up with no support. App does not support family sharing and it also is locks in a portrait mode for the videos. I cannot rotate to watch in landscape. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great but *2026-02-27, version 2.4.1* I am starting grade 4 ballet and I have been using this app for a while now and I noticed that you can’t see any previews of anything before you buy it. Why is that? ### 5/5 — Amazing *2025-05-30, version 2.2.3* Helps so much to get the syllabus quickly ### 5/5 — Excellent resource *2024-10-09, version 2.2.3* As a teacher, I love using this app alongside the syllabus books and music. I’m very much looking forward to grades 6,7 & 8 being available also. I would love the option of a mirrored version of the videos for following along with. ### 5/5 — It is amazing! *2022-03-12, version 2.0.2* It was super easy to get started and my intermediate foundation exams are come up and I feel confident! ### 5/5 — Fine *2020-04-15, version 2.0.1* It’s just ok ### 5/5 — Works perfectly, ignore the bad reviews *2020-01-08, version 2.0.1* Amazing resource for students to watch and learn outside of class. Perfect examples used (the dancers doing the demonstrations are Distinction students), audio is loud should you want it to be and it works landscape and portrait. Only worry/issue: RAD, where is grade 6&7 for girls. You have the boys version but not the girls? I can’t imagine having such an amazing resource as this and having to give it up at grade 6 when the choreography gets more complex! ### 5/5 — App crashing with iOS 13 update *2019-09-22, version 2.0* Incredibly helpful to prepare my daughter for her RAD exam, but the app keeps crashing with the new iOS 13 update. ### 5/5 — Great App!! *2019-07-30, version 1.9.13* This app helped me learn all my RAD ballet classes and caught me up. It prepared me well for the exam, technique and choreography wise. The videos were well thought out, and they had the camera angle perfect so that I can copy parts I don’t know. Awesome app!!! ### 5/5 — RAD Ballet *2019-01-15, version 1.9.13* Used this app for 4 years while completing my vocational exams. It's been very helpful and I've never had any issues. Thank you. ❤️ ### 5/5 — Really helps me *2018-11-08, version 1.9.13* I love this app, it really helps me to learn my syllabus for my class and exam. I practice all the time with the music and watch the videos whenever I get the opportunity to . --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
