Beware of ABC Mouse Beware of ABC Mouse; they tried to scam me. I signed up for a yearly subscription in 2018. I canceled the subscription in 2020 and have a cancellation confirmation email from ABC Mouse. On July 14, 2022, ABC Mouse tried to charge an expired credit card for the yearly subscription fee of 59.99. My credit card company flagged the fraudulent charge. Additionally, I contacted ABC Mouse regarding the situation at which time they tried to upsell me a different subscription. It’s billing practices are outright fraudulent.

Marketed 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.

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.

Beware of abcmouse scam I got an annual subscription of abcmouse in Feb 2024. I tried to download the app in March 2024 and the available app on the playstore is abcmouse reimagined. I downloaded that and when I signed in, I got a message that my subscription was for abcmouse early learning not abcmouse reimagined. I have contacted their customer support and was told to use it online at abcmouse.com -.this is untrue as it does not work online. You need the app to use the program I have been charged for the annual subscription and the app I paid for has been pulled off the playstore. The customer rep said I needed a new subscription to use abcmouse reimagined. What about what I paid for?I want a refund!!!

My 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.
