Pretty good

It isn't flawless, but it's very good. I don't think it deserves 5 stars because there are a few bugs. But besides of that, I see no problems! (No pun intended) So yeah, the questions are challenging, you can choose a background, and you can check your grades! And one thing that I really like is if we're going on vacation, I can just pause it so I don't waste any days. I highly recommend it if your looking for something consistent. 4 stars

I hate the sound

Every time you go to watch another video the sound is always on. The quotes at the end of the lesson aren’t encouraging. Hints barely give actual hints ( the hints don’t help ). The lesson problems are always a random number, EXAMPLE: one day I have 21 problems, the other I have 25 problems. STICK TO ONE NUMBER!!!!!!

It’s…

Ok, I would like to start off by saying this app is definitely thorough by constantly reviewing old stuff while keeping up with new lessons, most of the time TT explains the lesson very well, but on occasion they do not give you same “work” as he taught in the lecture. I only have two complaints about this math course, #1
The downloads… i find it very inconvenient to have to redownload my lessons that I have already completed just to look back at old problems. #2 when first starting Algebra 1 he gives a very good explanation of how to do the problem, however I have found that later in the course he gets a little.. I wouldn’t say lazy but a little lax on the solution to the problems that I didn’t do correctly. While other times the video might be 5 or so minutes long explaining something that could’ve been explained in just a minute or two
In that case I would say they’re very thorough, but not in the right places. I would recommend this math course to people who are just starting algebra 1 and need someone to walk you through each step.

Teaching Textbooks: Algebra 1

Good morning, evening, or afternoon,

Teaching Textbooks was introduced to me by a friend— I am currently a Junior in Highschool, however home schooled. Your textbooks have helped me in many ways, and I really do appreciate your work, however I would like to point out that I would be grateful if the scratchpad had a far better eraser, as it often glitches.
Unfortunately, as you can tell when I pointed out I am a Junior doing home schooling, I am very far behind in math than the average public schooler. I understand that what I am about to say may seem like oversharing, but I feel as though it would be better to express to help you understand my situation . . . But, I have really bad ADHD and I struggle to concentrate during these lessons. It is harder since I cannot fully grasp what is being taught. I feel, personally, that if perhaps the lectures were longer and more in depth, one might be able to grasp the concepts thrown at them.

I appreciate what you do and are doing and thank you for (possibly) considering what I have said.

Thanks,
a Teaching Textbooks user

Sound

You can not turn off the sound which I find slightly annoying.

Cheeky

Kinda cheeks ngl

come on now

love this program with my whole heart, but when i downloaded it onto my phone, i couldn’t log in because the stupid keyboard didn’t have an exclamation mark.

Bro not cool

On lesson 94 there is a question that is literally impossible to type in because they did not give you enough room the question is “4xyz + xyz” and the answer is obviously 5xyz but they did not put enough room for the answer so you can only type “5xy”
The rest on the lessons are ok though except for the True or False questions

DEVELOPERS PLEASE READ

BRUH WHAT HAPPENED IT ERASED ALL MY LESSON PROGRESS

App Crashes Constantly

I have been in the middle of lessons and the app crashes 3 to 4 times a day I use it! Please fix this issue it is very irritating.

Absolutely horrible

The lessons were so incredibly hard to understand and there were no review lessons, I would 100% not recommend, it is so confusing and honestly torture to do

I’m confused

I received the teaching textbook dvds for algebra 1 and I put in my email and password and I thought that it would be an “account” for this app. Is it only for buying it? Help is appreciated.

A Buggy Mess

Sometimes in a lesson it will play the first 3rd of the lesson and then just freeze. Sometimes I can fix it sometimes I can’t. There are a lot of other problems to, like it randomly crashing, the scratch book not working, imputing the right answer and it is marked as wrong, and a few others I can’t remember right now. Please fix it.

Annoying keyboard

The app is great for school but the keyboard is annoying. The buttons are way too small and i keep clicking the wrong one or didnt click anything at all. I never get my password right and its just so frustrating

Great program

There is no perfect program but for math, this has been a wonderful app for my kids to use. It allows them to learn and have fun with the stickers and wallpaper. I know that my kids have learned higher math so much better because of using this program. By example of this is my older kids have been able to help their younger siblings with different things because I believe they learned it so well. I don’t do so well in the higher math, but teaching textbooks has allowed my kids to learn without needing my help. Plus-all grading is inclusive. I don’t have to do anything-even better!

Can you retake tests

I dont know how to retake them

Doesn’t help

It’s alright, but it uses formulas that are way to complex to get an easy answer and doesn’t help I would not recommend

Lack of teaching

Whenever gone into a lesson this dude has lack of teaching skills, when answering questions its questions that he hasn't taught, so whenever stuck on a question i got back and look through lessons but it's no where to be taught lazy teacher

Not the best app!

Not the best app. The buttons are too close it keeps glitching. It keeps going on and off needs and update!!!! I wouldn’t recommend this app!

Terrible teaching skills

The guys who teach explain the lesson in a much harder way than in an easier way, it’s very hard to understand. I can go on YouTube and look up a much easier way to understand
