Not challenging

Really wanted to like this but it was not challenging at all for my 7year old 1st grader. She liked it but it was more for play than learning anything she already knew.

It doesn't keep my sons attention

It doesn't keep my sons attention. He plays for a minute or two and then abandons the tablet. The games themselves are great and he has learned some, but they just aren't attention grabbing enough.

Because it’s not right

No one responded back to my email that I sent. I am irritated. Apparently I did unsubscribe. But I needed the confirmation. And y’all didn’t give it to me. Besides a little gimmicks inside your game for children that makes parents pay extra. I’m not down for that. I think you guys need to knock off some other irresponsible parent. Because I can see the falls in your product for children.

I find the app logs me out frequently which is annoying and tends to freeze and close randomly. The content is great although some if the videos are a little dated. The different activities also take a long time to load which is hard for my 2 year old.

A membership was established without my authorization and luckily I was able to have it canceled. Afterwards I have received multiple emails from the membership service department offering discounted rates despite my replies stating my account was established without my authorization. I still have no idea what this Homer thing is about but am so frustrated that I keep receiving emails from them I'm writing this review in hopes that they will finally LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!!!!!

Just alright so far

My daughter likes it, she doesn’t love it. It would be helpful if there was one path to follow that included the reading path as well as the math instead of having to click on different subjects and then just randomly picking things to do. Additional practice for each letter would be good as well. Or having a comprehensive part included in each new letter learned.

Content was too easy

The content was too easy for my son, even though I configured the app to the highest level and my son is just 3.5 years old.

I have no children sadly

I have no children sadly and I never signed up for this program, when I founded our someone had signed me up I immediately contacted your company to cancel any programs I was connected to and asked to be removed from all mailing lists from your company, since then every single day I get an email from your company reminding me my children no longer exist by trying to get me to buy into your program, I am now asking for the last time STOP contacting me.

The best education app out there!

This is the first educational app I feel like my daughter is actually learning from. I love how customizable it is and how much fun she has while doing the different programs. If you don’t have HOMER for your kiddos you need to stop what you’re doing and get it today!
