WHAT THEY COMPLAIN ABOUT · SHARE OF BAD REVIEWS
Price and subscription59%

69 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Why is everything, including educational games for preschoolers, on subscription?!
★★★★★ Not everything should be a subscription.
★★★★★ I'm really glad they gave us a one week trial.
Bugs, things not working16%

19 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Not able to get past processing page. My son loved this app on his Amazon tablet. Trying to download it on his iPad with no luck.
★★★★★ No sound for anything, very frustrating as we can't enjoy any of the stories or songs
★★★★★ The sound doesn't work, which makes the app useless.
Limits, credits, locked features9%

10 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ At least say you have to pay to even use this thing
★★★★★ Paid $65.00 for an annual subscription but the app still wants to to purchase/unlock more games within the app. And my son is bored within -4 weeks.
★★★★★ Just be strait forward and say that you get a 7 day demo then you have to pay a subscription fee of $59.99 a year.
Login and account problems8%

9 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ App consistently asks me to sign in but will not accept my credentials and does not offer password support or any solutions
★★★★★ I ended up buying a $2.99 monthly membership to keep this app from charging the $59.99 to my account.
★★★★★ When I try to sign up for the free trial I get this message.
Too many ads7%

8 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Used to love it then they put garish advertisements for other apps on the main screen.
★★★★★ My daughter seems to like playing with the app, but I constantly have to clear out a screen of advertisements for other paid apps from Story Toys that she keeps clicking.
★★★★★ We have loved this app for almost a year. We pay a lot for it, and have been very happy. But this recent change to stick a pop-up ad every time you change activities is awful. We pay to get the content, not forced…
Crashes and freezes6%

7 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ But I had forgotten about the app for a few months and just tried to open it and it freezes as soon as the white cloud appears on the screen.
★★★★★ The free trial would not work, and I was unable to utilize any of the features, as the program kept crashing.
★★★★★ Can't use app will never load past the main screen
Lost data, sync, backup5%

6 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I have called and emailed to get this expensive app deleted from my account.
★★★★★ Please remove this or you will lose us as a customer.
★★★★★ Your $50 is just gone this should be illegal!
No customer support4%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ App consistently asks me to sign in but will not accept my credentials and does not offer password support or any solutions

It’s fine⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

It’s really good it’s fun but it cost money. It’s fine. And it’s not the best thing I’ve ever seen in my life, but it’s not horrible. Four stars.

Great, but the letter lessons don’t work anymore

You can skip to the “trace the letter” and “color the letter” segments, but the lessons themselves no longer play. Hope the developer can address this!
