Paid for the app and was working fine. Somebody pressed something on screen amd now its forcing login with no way around it and can no longer use? Opened 2 support ticked with no response.
not as good as the website but also the website i find is slow and glitch, not easy for a kid with adhd
rubbish the games at school arnt on it
freezes, keeps saying not connected to internet when my phone is. not worth it.
don't work probaly didn't let my child
The most buggy, glitchy app ever. Awful. Not worth the frustration for £3
I can't even get in to try it!! And it costs money
Terrible app. This will teach me to not pay for an app again.
great concept but too glitchy!
Terrible
There is a bug in the app. I can't launch it.
Installed app paid twice and it won't work
Crashes all the time
It says "can't load page" and "no Internet connection" when i click on the set tasks. I have no issue with Internet.
Won't work, says error. Avoid.
The voice doesn't talk soon enough when touching the letters
App keeps stopping working and it won't let us log in ... a waste of money
Closes down eveeryrime I try to use qr code to log in. Not impressed considering I had to purchase the app. Wasted money. 😡
I am now deleting this stupid app on my cool shiny new phone because i cannot login the teacher told me my password and username but LOOK CLOSELY: When I Login, i do correct and correct, but says incorrect, i tried to make my teacher fix it but still can't login. Such a bad game

IT'S NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND I CAN'T LOGIN :-( AND I CAN'T GET MY MONEY BACK!!!
It used to be free
Android user, paid for the app as recommended by school to do homework. The word they are supposed to spell doesn't show up (it's blank). Then when you get letters to type up the word and when you press 'S' it says 'E' Just use it for free online dont bother to pay them for a faulty app! Wouldn't recommend and would like my money back!
Does not update with homework set so actually pointless!!!
It's so laggy and sometimes I can't even hear the voice but I still need it for my homework so I need to use it
I is boring
this app is so frustrating as my children get extra dojo points in school for practising their spelling via this app but it keeps freezing each time we try to use it. i'm constantly having to uninstall it then reinstall!!!
It is frustrating that I nerly broke my tablet and lot of stress with the timer and the words so difficult to tap because it takes forever to load
Breaks randomly. This is a good engaging app sheit works however I keep getting no connection errors. Very frustrating!
Really disappointed as the app wouldn't allow me to sign in using the username and password. Then when trying to play the games without signing in app kept shutting itself down.
Doesnt work now on my phone or android or even laptop...have uninstalled many times....
Cannot log in on 3 different devices (get error "no internet" when there is) yet can do so fine on a desktop which doesn't help as my child is 5 and has no clue how to use a mouse.
It keeps freezing mid way through a game. Very disappointing
The app keeps getting stuck at stage 1 only
It always crashes.
Crashes every time we try and play on about question 2 or 3 out of 6. Whole app crashes and nearly crashes the entire phone
rubbish/needs to be way more senseitive
Paid for the app, then told i need to pay for a subscription too.
Please fix seems to work until trying use it with my daughters account need it for home schooling as work is set on here
This app won't allow me to login, however I manage to login online which is pretty frustrating. Not a great app.

App keeps crashing! We're being asked to use this platform for our homeschooling -we've had to pay for it & it is notfit for purpose as it keeps crashing. Needs immediate attention as it is more than doublilng the time it takes to educate our children! I'm also seeing other people with the same problem on the feedback yet no updates from the developer which is poor communication at best.
App crashed within minutes. It's really poor coded. Please improve your product.
As a teacher, it is very frustrating trying to play a hive game with the class and then the app keeps crashing. Something needs to be done about this!

Back down to one star again! The app now won't load at all the phone my son uses for this purpose. We have reported and uninstalled the app as it is pointless at the moment
Generous 1 star here. Crashes all the time! Tried on multiple devices. Tried clearing cache and uninstalling and reinstalling. Same issue every time. My daughter's school decided to use this but impossible to do.
I found no stage 6 in the app
I hate it it can die in a fire ○
