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.

Abc 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.

Fraudulent payment practice Fraudulent payment practice , stated free trial yet charged my card straight away, now hassle to get my money back Update: after I sent them email and disputed payment on PayPal, they refunded my money.do not forget to cancel pre approved payment on PayPal with them otherwise they ll take money every month

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 Told me my ABCmouse service would be interrupted because my credit card was no longer valid (TRUE --because I got a new one 2 months earlier due to fraud activity).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

Really 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.
