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.

Do not trust this company I signed up for a free trial of ABC mouse through a cashback website about a month ago but thought I had cancelled it. Then today with no prior warning that my subscription was due I got a notification from Paypal that I had paid $12.99 to Age of Learning. I promptly went on the ABC mouse website and also downloaded the app hoping to find a way to cancel my subscription. Both are very basic and there seems to be no way to cancel the subscription through either route.

Charged my cc $60 the first day of free trial They charged my credit card $60 the same day the 30 day free trial started. There was no notification that they were going to do this. When I emailed to dispute it, there was no apology, no justification as to why they would charge you the first day of a 30 day free trial. Also, they will charge your credit card a $1 fee a month for the subscription. It's not worth this exorbitant cost. I recommend Reading Eggs over this one any day.

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 Told me my ABCmouse service would be interrupted because my credit card was no longer valid (TRUE --because I got a new one 2 months earlier due to fraud activity).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.

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.
