Pretty Good App

Overall my kids enjoy this app and I think it was worth the money. One improvement would be to add a few more games.

Its ok

I have two young grandbabies who use this program and seem to enjoy it. I would like to see more advanced activities as they progress. Because they enjoy it so much, I like it so far.

Very very disappointed.

I bought the version for a year/$9.99. I updated my iPhone and then the purchase on app says it never took place, but when I go into purchase the $9.99 subscription iTunes tells I bought it already that if I paid again Id be extending or renewing my subscription. I have written to support, they claimed they fixed it, but they havent. Now they said they were having the techs look into it. Still havent heard anything back. That was like a week ago. I thought Rosetta was a trust worthy company, apparently (by my stand point) no it is not. The pocketed my money basically.

Nice!

Fun for my child....

Expensive purchases disappeared!

My kid likes the app. I purchased a year for her - at $10, which isnt a lot, but it is when you can buy several other great apps for that price. She told me months later that it didnt work anymore, so I thought the year must have been up. (I cant remember when I buy what.). The app wouldnt restore purchase, so I purchased again. That was yesterday. Today the app didnt work again. Now Ive emailed them and Im getting no help.

Liars, cheats, and fakes!

I dont usually write reviews but people should know this is not a free app. This is a demo. After your child plays through 1 time your "trial" period has ended. Then you can choose to pay an exorbitant amount of money for - if you read the other reviews- a mediocre program. Im deleting this app right away and am very disappointed with the false advertising.

Awesome.

Great developmental progressions that my child enjoys!

Terrible customer service

The upgrade I paid for is active on my phone but not my iPad, where I intended to use it. I have spoke to customer service multiple times with no resolution. I bought this for my special needs child and it appears to be a huge waste of money.

Love-hate it

App is wonderful...customer service not! If you want your child to use on your iPad dont pay the upgrade on your iPhone! I paid upgrade on my iPhone but doesnt register as upgraded on my iPad and I cant get anyone in customer service to help???

Confusing Upgrades

Both my kids (2 and 3.5) love this game. Im a little skeptical about its actual value for "brain training", but at least it is more interactive than watching videos. The differences between the various in app upgrade options are not explained clearly anywhere in the app or on the website. Specifically, both the Lifetime Access and the Family Lifetime Access appear to provide access for only one child even though the Family Access is $30 more. If it does not allow multiple users, what IS the reason for the extra cost?

Wasted money unable to restore purchase

Replaced old iPad and unable to restore purchase to the new one. Wasted money.

Totally bogus

I put in that I was a five-year-old child it told me I was working at a 2.8-year-old level. Obviously they want me to purchase the program for my child do not believe them it is not honest.

Buyer Beware!

Had to change to new iPad and I cannot restore my purchase. This is tantamount to theft as well as deception. This was not a cheap app when purchased and I expect to be able to use what I paid for. I look forward to hearing from someone who will correct this problem for me and I will adjust my review. Until then, BUYER BEWARE!!!!

Skeptical of the education value

I get the feeling that the age rankings provided in the parents corner on this app are kind of like those online IQ tests, that they are just there to make you feel good and that your child is progressing. My take on the apps system is that it is like the schools that over value standardized tests and teach to these tests instead of teaching. Basically, the kids get good at this app, but nothing translates to actual skills of value. Or maybe Im too skeptical that my 4.4 year old is functioning at an eight year old level.

LOVE!

My two year old LOVED this app and caught on really quickly.

Great app but false 12month full access claims

My 3 year old loved the app (would have given it 4 stars), however, he LOVED the app is in past tense because he can no longer play it. I purchased the 12 Months Full Access package back in March 2015. It is now July 2015 and the app is no longer working for us. Instead, it’s indicating that we need to upgrade and purchase the full access package…the same one we already paid for. Try explaining access rights to a frantic 3 year old on why he can’t play his puzzle game after you promised him that he could for cleaning up.

Not like the adult version

Unlike the adult version, you do not have access to a limited number of games or training. If you do not plan on signing up for a subscription, then this is a one time use app. What was there was nice, but I question the age appropriateness of asking a two year old to spot the difference, in those words.

Unreal!!!!!

Finally an application for kids to develop their brain!! awesome! Our two boys LOVE this app!!

Ripoff

Tha adult version of this game allows gameplay each day and inapp subscription opens extra games. I downloaded the kids version for my 3&7yrolds - the 7yr old played once and the next day we tried to play again to find we have to subscribe- $30/yr for 2 kids to play any games at all :(. Im deleting it, what a shame! And shameful to draw a child into a game that has to be subscribed to - poor business practice

Rip offfff

The app gives you five minutes of play and then they require you upgrade. No real time to evaluate. Greeeeeeeeeeed
