Our 4 year old daughter is loving learning on this program. The only reason I give a 4 star review is because I wish there was a "Math" timeline, just like there is a reading one. Also, maybe some cool features like songs along the way would be captivating for a child's short attention span.

Not challenging enough to many videos bro distracted kids videos and different games should be presented at the beginning of the lesson for a goal to reach then when they get to the end the visit can be unlocked. Or kids should earn tokens for unique games

Actually can't say if the program is good or not. Was never able to get into the app. Evertime I try to log In it says my passxodes wrong. Tried changing it still didn't work so I just gave up and went to a different service for my granddaughter.

My 5-year old asks to use Homer every day. Knowing that he is engaged in educational activities (learning to read!) gives me peace of mind while I use some precious and much-needed minutes to finish my own tasks...and breathe.

Not seeing where all lessons are continuous or progressive for learning to read My kid seems to just continuously pick what he likes before going to the next step.

I will say though that my kid LOVES the musical selections more than any other app I’ve seen and he is quite fond of the games.

It's frustrating that I increase the reading level for my almost 5 year old just for him to have to sound out all the letters on his learning path. He already knows this and quickly becomes disinterested.

My son is above his grade level in some areas. I wasn't able to adjust the difficulty level to match his ability. Also he prefers the laptop to the phone or tablet. The app does not work well for the laptop. Also it's not very clear how to start the games. The site is so focused on sales, the product is overshadowed.
