Teaches 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.

Reported them to the Glendale, CA BBB and got my money back *CBI compliance violation... Told me my ABCmouse service would be interrupted because my credit card was no longer valid (TRUE --because I got a new one 2 months earlier due to fraud activity). However, service was NOT interrupted, they just billed my bank account automatically behind my back. I ignored their cancellation notices because I wanted the subscription to simply 'run out'. Reported them to the Glendale, CA BBB and got my money back --- but they smugly replied that they were 'doing me a favor' and would refund. Despite the fact that it was simply 'the right thing to do', they did refund me...but they didn't like doing the right thing; it made them uncomfortable--you could tell in their BBB response.

This is a US based product This is a US based product, with no option to choose UK language settings..... Zee instead of the letter zed, diapers instead of nappies, trucks instead of lorries, sidewalk instead of pavement! This really is s US product, designed for children in the US, and as such it should not e marketed in the UK, specially as there is no setting for UK/British English. Avoid.

Doesn’t work on IPad Mini 3 We bought this to use on an iPad Mini 3 that their website explicitly states it will work with. When we couldn’t get it to load I contacted technical support who told me I need an IOS update that isn’t supported for the iPad Mini 3. I asked for a refund and they just quoted terms and conditions that they don’t give refunds. Eventually they gave me 50% back and 6 months of “complimentary” access that I can’t use. Beware - their website contains information on where you can use their software and it is not accurate.

SCAM 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.
