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.....

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.

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.

GBAbc mouse is garbage for mobile apps in the DC area. Downloaded this garbage because it is suppose to be free for educators. Downloaded it fine to my iPad however the program wouldn’t run. None of the 8 Apps in the abc mouse bundle responded. How in the world do you create a a program that isn’t accessible via mobile devices. We live in a mobile accessible world. For whatever the excuse abc mouse has for their apps not working will not really matter. I’m never using it again. That goes for home or work. Signed pissed off educator whose time you wasted.
