GBTeaches evolution as fact (during the reading lessons!) Website is slow. And after six months of a subscription, I feel it did not help my child learn how to read. Plus it teaches evolution as a fact to young children, and the parent does not get to pick the lessons or order of lessons or even the subject of the lessons. When I have set up a reading lesson and walked away, when I get back the lesson is unrelated to learning how to read and rather it is a coloring page or another time wasting/non-learning activity. Or the lesson has turned into a book that is going on about evolution and the age of the earth when I have set up the program to just teach letter sounds. There is almost no parent control unless you are literally sitting next to your child. If I want my child to learn sight words, I can search "sight words" in the search box and choose a sight word lesson. But then that lesson is literally only 60 seconds long and I have to immediately choose another lesson. I can't just set up the program to keep working through sight word activities. Most of the time, the program is just songs and coloring activities. I have had much better success (with a child learning how to read) with another program I used for my older child, but because of the ABC mouse advertising, I tried this one thinking it would be competitive, but that hasn't been the case.

GBSTOP NOW...Do Not Subscribe!!! I am writing this review in hopes of sparing every would be subscriber a huge headache. **If you so much as accept a free trial membership from this site, they will require a payment method to be logged with them. It is nearly impossible to cancel any subscription with them. You will be redirected/ rerouted innumerable times. I have attempted to cancel a trial offer with them and in order to do so that has to be done through the parent portal. There it gives options, which send you to other landing pages that contain more offers. You never get a confirmation that you have successfully unsubscribed. I hate these companies that rape your banking account by frustrating a consumer with rerouting. This needs to be stopped. I will be following this up with the FCC.

GBSCAM website that fraudulently charges… SCAM website that fraudulently charges credit card. We cancelled this subscription via their website through some robot chat. Later we discovered they kept billing us. When trying to contact them we discovered there is literally no way to speak to anyone, no way to file a complaint. Even after cancelling a second time they billed us again. We had to contact our credit card company and file a dispute and it turned into a giant mess. A legitimate company does not operate this way. BEWARE of this fraudulent company.

CAMy 4 year old loves this app My 4 year old loves this app! My only complaint is when he clicks on the globe the only country it allows him to learn is the United States. We live in Canada it would be nice if they had more of the world available than just one country.

GBMarketed for young children, but clunky interface We took up a trial for our 3.5 year old son, and the interface for this on the iPad is awful. This clearly hasn't been designed for a good iPad experience, simply linking out to their website. Interface is unclear for younger children. Also, marketing in the UK, this is a US based product, with no option of choosing UK language settings. This will cause confusion for younger children. It seems like some of the basics have been missed off here.
