GBBeware 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.

CAMy 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.

GBTeaches 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.

GBReally Helpful during this time. There's so many negative reviews I thought it was only fair I give mine. When lockdown started last year I was looking for some help with any home learning for my 6 year old daughter. The site looked pretty interesting and I signed up for the free month. I think it took about £1.50 for the registration fee which I thought was OK. I've had that from other overseas online programmes / software which I've also joined with so I wasn't too worried. My daughter started to use it and I was really happy. It provided her with some essential educational topics and so after the first month I signed for the year. I paid in full with a really good promotional discount. My daughter has loved it. For the price I paid I have been more than happy for what It has gave us. Even though now my daughter is back in school a couple of days a week, we still have it here for some extra learning. She has it on the I Pad and on my Desktop. She can easily access it herself on the I Pad and quite often she shows me how well she is doing on it. They seem to keep updating it which is good as she doesn't get bored. There's lots of different things to do on it which covers all the essentials. I wouldn't say it's good enough to be the only learning platform for any child but as an extra it's been a godsend. I'm keeping my membership for another year. It's been really useful and to be honest she learns more on here sometimes than her zoom classes at school which sometimes seem like organised chaos. It looks like it hasn't been everyone's cup of tea looking at the reviews but for me it's been a lifesaver.

GBSTOP NOW...Do Not Subscribe!!! I am writing this review in hopes of sparing every would be subscriber a huge headache. **If you so much as accept a free trial membership from this site, they will require a payment method to be logged with them. It is nearly impossible to cancel any subscription with them. You will be redirected/ rerouted innumerable times. I have attempted to cancel a trial offer with them and in order to do so that has to be done through the parent portal. There it gives options, which send you to other landing pages that contain more offers. You never get a confirmation that you have successfully unsubscribed. I hate these companies that rape your banking account by frustrating a consumer with rerouting. This needs to be stopped. I will be following this up with the FCC.
