Learn French - Studycat 4+

My 8 and 6 year old mastered these games before the free trial period ended (and they play an half hour two or three times a week). Now there is no new content. Unfortunately,I was too busy to cancel my subscription. When I purchased this subscription for $100 I thought my kids would be learning French for a year! Only 60 activities that take about 3 minutes to master? For that price there should be thousands!! Imagine paying $100 for a 60 page book! . I feel as though I have been misled and taken advantage of. I want my money back or more content.

The best part about it is that they don’t translate. It’s hard to find apps that don’t. The worst thing is no instructions on the games. Play instructions that explained what the object of the game is could be in English without undermining learning. A few of the games have left my five year old nearly frustrated enough to literally throw my iPad at the wall. In the middle, is that the lessons seem to focus on vocabulary rather than scripts for practical use and the verbs that go with them. Since my daughter has used Muzzy already which seems more advanced than this, maybe I should have picked age 6+ on that question even though she won’t be 6 for 2.5 months yet. Is there a way to change the age setting since I think the higher level might fit better because of her past experience with Muzzy. By the way, her feedback is “ the games don’t say how to win so you gotta spend time figuring that out first and Muzzy is more interesting because there’s a cartoon to watch and games after you watch the movie in the Muzzy theater webpage

Thanks for your feedback, we'll pass these on to the development team for future consideration. We don't currently have age settings and more advanced levels. These games are designed to be an introduction to the French language. We find that most users enjoy the challenge of working out the game requirements.

A couple of the games are not intuitive for children. In one, you have to match the spoken color to a black and white image. Kids would have to guess what color the objects are. For instance, what color is the cake? It could be anything. There is a root vegetable, but not the carrot. I can’t make out what it is so we guessed on the color. Would make more sense if the image is in color as there is no need for it to be in black and white. The next, you get to paint an object. Wouldn’t be too hard, but you end up having to mix the primary colors to get the others. Not easy when you get to making brown. It took me a few tries to get to what was accepted as brown. We haven’t finished the color lessons yet but I wanted to point out the difficulties we had so far.
