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.

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.

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.

This app is great! Love that other kids are used to voice the words- my son gets so excited about it! I believe it really has helped him learn. I recommend this app all the time! However, I do wish they add to it. He’s gone through each section over and over and I think he’d love to see new animals, shapes, numbers etc. ABCs would be a great addition too! Also- side note the cow snipet at the end (after they say cow and ask to repeat back or select which picture is a cow) is really creepy. He’s kinda scared of that one, and I don’t blame him! It says some cows get swept up in tornados and shows the cow getting picked up and blown away. Bizzare and kinda cruel thing to tell a kid when you could educate them that cows graze, are usually on a farm or basically anything else that is actually factual…. Lol Possibly consider changing that one. Otherwise we really do enjoy this app! Also think it may be more helpful if the app would say also “now you say” vs only saying “your turn” or “now you try”. Or when they guess the photos it would say “which one is a ____” vs only saying “now guess”. There is also a part in the rhyme section that shows a cat literally counting down going through all 9 lives by jumping off a bridge over and over. Then when you get to 9, it says “bye bye” to the cat insinuating it died. Definitely think you should reconsider that. Seems insensitive for ALOT of reasons. It’s a kids game!
