I had no choice to purchase

Having a son with Autism, I had no choice to purchase this even though there’s still lots of bugs, books isn’t working, and the sound isn’t right in a part of the reading academy on the ABC Track, if it’s supposed to mimic a robot, then it is not sensory processing friendly with the volume going in and out. If continues to glitch and we are doing the same lesson over and over again, because it freezes up and we end up having to do a wrong answers.

My math ended up being totally different and we enjoyed the old ways and again we get kicked out due to glitches

Again, it’s not cost friendly and I won’t be using it for homeschooling, because I am just buying 2 major programs and a lot of other programs that have been taking off of good ol’ ABC Mouse and put on here. Since Ages of Learning still want to show that they have My Math and My Reading images on ABC mouse, but been off the program for over 2 years. This has been a constant reminder of these two programs for my son. It doesn’t help him forget. My son’s school doesn’t have the the program and I simply can just “ask” for them to get the school programs so I wouldn’t have to pay for this. Thank you Ages of a learning for making my son cry again, when you finally booted us from My Math in July and now my son will have to start all over for the 5th time. The program was better on ABC Mouse and clearly hasn’t been updated because you reach a certain point where you just collect coins and not spend them. The video the child can go back and watch from the IPad after collecting puzzle pieces was a much better reward Also this is the second time I have posted on here, and the first time was taking down. Ages Of Learning you might as well put the hamster game on there

Screen Orientation is awful. Bugs

So, this app has some portions of it that only work in portrait screen orientation. If you are using the app on an iPad in a case with a stand be prepared to be constantly turning the iPad. I reached out to support about this asking they fix it as it makes using the app pretty difficult and they responded that they have no plans to fix this issue. There’s definitely some carry over of bugs from ABC Mouse- content never loading until you force quit and restart, blank screens, sometimes when I put in my parent password to access settings the screen never progresses from the password entry screen. A force quit shows my password was accepted. It’s *working* but I’m also making it work.

A really big disappointment

I got this app because my child loves abc mouse. But honestly it has been nothing but a waste of money. From the time the free trial ended it has been nothing but glitches. Mainly in the My Reading Academy portion. It has consisted glitches it doesn’t load the books and one day I had to refresh the screen 40 times just to get the books to appear and two seconds later it glitched again no books. If they can get the My Reading Academy to work properly it would be a great app. But honestly as of right now I wouldn’t pay for it the amount of time it takes to keep refreshing the app to get it to work properly is taking away from the time my kid could be learning.
