User reviews

Susbscription-based apps are a no go

So sad that this is the "replacement" for the Social Express app I purchased, which was then removed from the App Store. This "replacement" equals similar content, except you pay into eternity to be able to access what you once had for a one-time fee. Those of us who used our dollars to purchase the original app (and it was not a cheap app) should have been given a LIFETIME subscription, since the app was removed from the App Store with little warning, and no recourse. Please fix this situation, the content is decent but there is a bad taste in my mouth...

Updated to make it one star instead of two. Your responses to people who purchased and loved this app before it became yet another subscription model are frankly rude. Gross.

Response from developer

Hello and thank you for your feedback. We are concerned that your complaint is not validated as you discuss the new content for the subscription, but you have you actually purchased the subscription? The original app featured 16 lessons, the new program has 81 lessons yes the original 16 are included but all else are new. Futhermore, we have created student logins and full data analytics to track progress none of this was part of the original application. WE do offer a lifetime discount of 50% off the new app should you contact us for the promo code. We had hoped our original app would keep working but ios11 killed it and many other apps as well.

Money maker

Back in 2012 I purchased the full app for over $200 and when I needed to update and get a new generation iPad and redownload my apps I find this one has changed to a monthly subscription and I was not allowed the access to even the version I paid for in full. To say I’m irritated is an understatement. It was a good app for me as a speech pathologist and use with many kids but I can see how if only one child the short lessons would not be valuable enough to justify the cost. That being said, I did use the app often but also can not justify paying a monthly subscription for an app that does not add new content often especially when I already spent so much to purchase in the first place.

Response from developer

Dear Jen, Thank you for your review. You infer that the app was effective and you used with many students. That's a good thing right? The reason you are unable to access the original program is somnething that changed back in 2013 due to Apple changing their operating system which effected a lot of apps. Instead of investing into an update for the original program we decided to augement the program. We offered 50% off to past users for many years, somthing you never took advantage of. You mention we don't add new content, that is absoltuely false, since 2012. we tripled the content and added a full curriculum to the program. Something you have not seen as you have not subscribed. What is helpful in reviews is sharing with potential customers the efficacy of a program. The cost is irrelevant if your getting the results. We wish you the best.

Horrible app

The sonic learning login is terrible for $8000 a year oh my gosh life was meant to be easier the more you use the program
Social express login I just want to curse the programmers what’s happening with this private browser oh my fricken gosh log in is a nightmare for me I’m f….. off

Subscription model

I can’t tell you how disappointed I am this company moved to a subscription model. Although it’s a great app, it’s just not worth the price of hundreds of dollars (possibly thousands if used for multiple years) that comes with a subscription. I think it’s shameful to be honest. Please don’t support this model. On top of that, the developers snarky responses to other reviewers doesn’t help their image.

Response from developer

Dear Mr. Mac, Thank you for yoru review and highlighting that our is great! Efficacy is what makes a program valuable, the price should not be something you complain about if you are getting the results you desire. Shameful, c'mon really? You are trying to shame us for trying to stay competitive with other larger companies. We wish you the best and hope you find another program that is as fun and engaging as The Social Express.
