Was very Skeptical, but it really works!

I signed up for the trial 7 months ago. My kid wasn’t saying any words, not even mama or dada. At 20 months, my kid was not interested at all. My kid would not interact with the app in the slightest. So, I was going to cancel with the 7 day free trial being over. I know time is needed for results, but if my kid wouldn’t even look at the phone, then there was no point and I would try again after a few months. I didn’t cancel and kept it going. My kid eventually got interested in the air up and started playing. My kid is extremely independent though, so I wasn’t allowed to participate in anyway. My kid would run off of the phone, play the games alone. I know the key point was to participate with my kid, so my kid could see me repeating what the app would say and soon my kid would follow my actions. About a month ago, my kid started speaking out of nowhere. Started calling animals by name, saying the colors of the rainbow, the entire alphabet and numbers 1 - 9. I never sat down with my kid to teach him these things (aside from cat and dog) because my kid just had no interest in flash cards or books. My kid would push them away or tear them up. So, I know the app was the only way my kid knows all these words, letters and numbers. My kid does need to work on pronunciation for some things, like B vs D, but is doing fantastic! Now my kid cannot stop talking and is saying full sentences.

Beware - Seems ok but too expensive for a family

The drills are excellent and my twins love it but I can't see spending $300 for this app in order for all 3 of my kids to take advantage of the content. UPDATED After working with tech support to determine if app sharing is enabled across devices, I was advised that yes, I could purchase a lifetime subscription that would cover all of our devices. After purchasing the initial download, I attempted to restore the purchases on another device, which did not work. I thought that maybe I had to buy it again in order to get it to register that I already owned it, but it charged me instead. So, I now have two lifetime subscriptions for a terrific app that I will only need for 2-3 years. The fact that I had to email app support 10 times and be told to go to apple for my refund only to be declined by apple is frustrating and shameful. The app really does an amazing job at engaging kids and keeping their attention but it's not worth $100 per device. If they were to fix this situation, I'd update my review with 5 stars.

Hi, thank you so much for your honest feedback. We are happy to hear your twins love our app! However, we are not sure where did you get the information about the price. It seems a bit odd, because our app is either $9.99/month or $4.99/billed annually. You can however, add as many users as you would like in our app! Just click on the menu bar in the top right corner and then click on the Add user. You can add more than 10 children! How cool is that? Would you be so kind and send us an email regarding this situation at [email protected]. We are looking forwad to hearing from you and making this right.

Great App but flaws

My daughter loves this app and gets so excited when the fish says Speech Blubs during start up. We started this around 16/17 months and it was way to early for my little one. We then revisited around 19 and saw she was able to begin to participate in the popping of bubbles and matching games. She also loved seeing the others kids and found she could tickle them lol. Now at little over 21 months I see major improvements. She love the new shapes game, abc game, and matching game. She repeats the letters, number, colors, and shapes. I have seen her vocabulary grow so much over a month! Not sure how much is related to the app or just developmental. But I do believe the app has helped. For some reason my little one will not repeat the words in the learning journey. Some problems I have….1. My daughter plays on my phone and an iPad but they don’t sync. It appears 2 separate profiles. 2. Every time we open the app prompted by a special deal to purchase. If I already purchased a subscription for the year I don’t know why I am getting this prompt. It is very problematic mastic for my daughter. 3. I don’t see her using this after the expiration of the subscription. It doesn’t update often enough with new games or current games that she likes. It also doesn’t provide individualized assessment even though I keep getting notifications saying there is one. With the app it should very easy to program metrics of strong and weak points.
