GBDoesn’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.

GBI really do not like or dislike this… I really do not like or dislike this program. We use the apple app. I find the app is glitchy, doesn't give tickets for completed work, app says certain things aren't available. I only pay the monthly fee, because my son enjoys playing with the hamster cage and the bedroom, that he gets from collecting tickets. He occasionally will grab the iPad and do some of the educational parts. All and all he gets bored real quick with this. I guess it would be good for a parent with preschool kids or younger. I think the younger kids will like the cute songs, and the other stuff they offer. I have been a subscriber for at least a year, and in that year they have raised the cost to their monthly paying members, stating their program was worth more. Maybe it is worth it too some people, but for me I do not find enough helpful material. I wish They Would offer a section for special needs kids.....

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.

GBViolated CBI compliance - protect your card info and stay away! I was refused help unless I confirmed by payment details over instant chat! This is a CBI compliance issue and the concern had NOTHING to do with payment. I pay by the year. I was told that they could cancel my subscription without this verification but could not change the imaginary fish tank unless I compromise my payment information. Litterally makes no sense. I was told that a supervisor would be reaching out to me via email "eventually". BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY there any many other educational aps to choose from and I suggest you do.

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.
