### 5/5 — Fabulous!

*2014-02-18, version 1.2*

Simple and effective! Highly recommended! Has all the curriculum documents for primary and secondary!

### 5/5 — Excellent handy app

*2014-02-09, version 1.2*

Brilliant simple app that not only collates all the Primary and Secondary new curriculum but also contains the latest updates from DfE. 

A must to have for those in education and parents alike.

### 5/5 — Wow!

*2014-02-05, version 1.2*

How handy is this? Really helps when you're trying to get to grips with the new NC and so easy to use on your phone or I-pad. Thanks!

### 5/5 — Staggeringly useful does not have to be glitzy

*2014-02-05, version 1.2*

Simple ideas are often the best. This is a brilliant little resource and I think any teacher with an iPad or iPhone that doesn't have this app is missing a treat.

### 5/5 — 👍

*2014-02-01, version 1.2*

Thank you for adding KS3 and 4.

### 5/5 — Great app for anyone involved in education

*2014-01-30, version 1.0*

This is a simple but incredibly useful app for teachers or anyone else who needs the latest curriculum subject information and latest updates. Great for 69p!  Well worth it.

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Crashes- does not work.

*2022-11-12, version 3.0*

When you click on a subject NC it just crashes so you cannot see the NC.

### 1/5 — Does not work

*2022-09-16, version 3.0*

Would be nice if it worked. Whenever you click on an icon, I.e. maths, literacy, etc. it crashes and takes you back to your homepage. Waste of money and storage.

### 2/5 — Not great :(

*2014-09-29, version 2.0*

So difficult to read. 69p for something I found for free on the internet in seconds. I don't think so.

### 3/5 — Really great but won't rotate...

*2016-09-21, version 2.0*

This is a great app, being able to add notes is incredibly helpful, but as someone that uses a keyboard with my tablet, having a view that rotates would be great.....

### 3/5 — Hard to read!

*2014-08-18, version 2.0*

This would be so much better if it rotated with the phone - very awkward to read at the moment.

### 5/5 — Poor raters are just haters this is BRILLIANT!

*2015-10-02, version 2.0*

Poor raters are just haters because this is a superb app. Easy to use, very clear and in the hands of pupils can serve as a means of self assessment, peer assessment and next steps. I hope an app like this comes out for the revised Welsh Curriculum soon. Brilliant.

### 5/5 — A fantastic, handy app

*2014-09-30, version 2.0*

This app is just what the busy teacher needs. It offers a quick reference on your phone or iPad. It is extremely easy to navigate and the notes feature is very useful. A must have for a bargain price of 69p. Highly recommended.

### 5/5 — Totally useful and time-saving!

*2014-09-30, version 2.0*

Can't speak highly enough of this app!  It's handy to have on my iPad, means I can flick not only to each subject super-quick but to each section within!  I love it and would recommend without hesitation to every teacher.  We've already reviewed it at a staff meeting and all commented on its ease of use and convenience.

### 5/5 — Handy

*2014-09-30, version 2.0*

Used lots and refer to it all the time. 

It's easy to use, accurate and the DFE updates are useful to us teachers.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-09-30, version 2.0*

This is a great app, much better value than buying the book itself and clearly organised into subjects so no ploughing through lots of stuff you don't need to get to what you do need!! Pleasing and a MUST for anyone who is living in 2014 and working in education.

## Most praised reviews (5 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-04-03, version 1.2*

A really useful app. Especially love the updates. Could dates be added to them?

### 5/5 — Does what it says on the tin!

*2014-04-02, version 1.2*

Great find!

### 5/5 — Exactly What I Needed.

*2014-02-23, version 1.2*

So, let's say you're a teacher. You have a billion things to do, most of which are already overdue, and you never feel like you've finished anything because, well, you haven't.

And this happens. For good or bad, the government changes the national curriculum.

Somehow, on top of all the other things that you don't get paid enough to do but you do anyway because you love the kids, you now have to find time to research, understand and plan for the new curriculum.

What would help you do this? This app.

UK teachers out there: just buy this. It's not über pretty or particularly snazzy; there are no bells and whistles and it can't make coffee, but it's darn handy, simple and, well, does what it says on the So, let's say you're a teacher.

You open the app, choose your key stage, choose your subject and Bob's your metaphorical uncle: a copy of the new curriculum at your fingertips, in the palm of your hand, right under your nose, as plain as day, as bright as the sun...

P.S. The print/send button is a nice little feature too.

### 5/5 — GREAT APP

*2014-02-20, version 1.2*

Such a good app for any trainee teacher like me of any qualified teacher or parent, makes 'easy' reason of the new curriculum rather than sifting through the gov website - a MUST buy!!!!!

### 5/5 — Perfect companion app!

*2014-02-18, version 1.2*

Excellent for use in school and at home! Saves me hours of time on the government website! Thanks!
