No just no

I tried canceling the trial before it was due and they still charged my card and won't refund it, we didn't find them very useful or helpful. I am not happy about them taking my money and not giving it back! I don't recommend them!

Worse App!

Worse App!! Do not expect that you will ever get the support. App stopped working on my device. I complained many times but I never got the solution.

App problems

The reading path had a few issues with loading the next stage. Also came across the “read and play” option not working when reading a few of the books, it would just bring you back to the book selection screen.

Pretty good

Pretty good! We love it! Except my 2 1/2 year old daughter can’t figure out how to guide the lowercase and uppercase letters to the towers on the flying letters game on her reading pathway. It is way too difficult for her to try to judge the trajectory of the letters. It would be better if she could just touch and drag the letters to the correct tower spot.

Math Expansion; Student Progression

Would like a little more options for math / reading comprehension. Also seems there's no ability to skip ahead/advance. My nephew has been using Homer for a few months now and the lessons are not progressing even though he has gotten a good grasp of the concepts now. It is becoming redundant.

Reading at 3 Years Old!

My two little boys love the Homer app! My extended family couldn’t believe my oldest son is beginning to read at three years old. I couldn’t take the credit - I told them he learned to read from an app. The Homer app is incredible!
