This was my first purchase from Masterbooks. I’m impressed with the quality of the books. My student (Grandchild) spent hours reviewing these books the day they arrived. She absolutely ❤️ them. Originally, I thought I’d use them as reference books but upon reviewing the content, and finding out that Masterbooks has teacher’s guides for this set, I plan to use them as part of her Science curriculum over the next few years.

Here’s the thing, the app itself is fine - the admins and rules are the problem. The admins are so strict and quick to correct it leaves me hesitant and sweaty palmed anytime I post! For example, you are NOT allowed, under any circumstances, to share or even mention any book title that does not come from Masterbooks. This means if you were to post a question along the lines of, “what are some good read aloud chapter books to go along with the history lessons?” Or “anyone have advice for some clean reading for my fourth grader?” You will IMMEDIATELY receive a comment from an admin stating that no one can provide an answer that comes from outside the Masterbooks catalog. And if, heaven forbid, someone responds with a harmless Charlotte’s Web or Little House suggestion, they will promptly be scolded. Never have I seen so many apologies from CUSTOMERS to the admins. This happens over and over and over - to everyone. Isn’t the point of this to connect and encourage homeschool families? I understand not allowing other curriculum to be promoted, but reading books? Especially considering Masterbooks doesn’t offer anything in that area! I was excited to get advice from trusted, Christian moms about appropriate reading material, little did I know that is practically a crime! Unfortunately, this makes me question whether this organization really has their students’ best interest at heart as they claim - seems like it’s more about the buck. I was naive I suppose to assume otherwise, but as a faithful Masterbooks educator for years this has proven to be very disappointing.

I love all the help and feed back that l get when I post a question for help. I also love that I can post amazing achievements that my girls have done. I like being able to help answer other peoples questions and see their Children’s amazing achievements.

This app is such a wonderful tool to have! From the teaching tip lives, to the community groups where I can find encouragement and also be challenged as a Homeschool teacher. I also love how easy it makes accessing the Academy videos!
