Speakaboos - Kids Reading App Reviews

Logging out issues continue to be a problem

bellalinda0514

We love this app and my kids both remain interested in it after using it for two years. I would give it 5 stars if it weren’t for the login issues. Every single time we shut the iPad, the app logs us out and we lose all of the downloaded stories. It is negatively impacting our user experience!

Horrible

My kids loved it the first year we got it. I tried to delete app, because they no longer used it and it is $8/month. Even though I deleted app they still charged me! The kids decided they wanted to use it again so I tried to log on and it said my ‘trial period had ended.’ There is no phone number and no customer service agent because they are a ‘small company.’ I emailed to cancel and I am waiting for a response. It has been an additional year that I have paid $8/month and I can’t even use it. Rip off

Constantly crashing

My daughter loves this app, but it crashes after two or three songs. I have to constantly close the app then re-open it. I would really appreciate this issue being addressed by the creators.

Terrible possible scam

First, I had to keep logging in every time. So even if this app was good, it would be frustrating that the kid cannot use it without parental help every time it gets closed out. Second, there is nothing worth $8/month on this app. Third, they make it impossible to cancel so I’ve been charged $8 for an app with less to offer than many free apps I have that are actually educational. It seems like a scam not to be able to cancel within the app so they hope people can’t figure out how to cancel before they get charged at least once. There are instructions about canceling within the App Store (never heard of doing that before) and those instructions don’t match up with anything actually in the App Store. I’ve emailed to have it canceled and am still waiting for a response.

Kinder teacher & Mom approved

shhhhhhhhh

My kids have been using this app for a couple of years now. I love it and am now using it in my kindergarten class as well. My one and only complaint is about 1-2 times per week the app logs out and they lose their downloaded stories. They use their iPads in the car and Speakaboos is one of the main apps they turn to. When they lose their stories that means I need to spend the following evening sitting with both of their iPads going through all their favorite stories so they can have it the following day. It’s tedious. A) the problem of the random logging out needs to be fixed or B) it would be nice if parents had the option of going through a checklist of which stories (or all) to download instead of having to listen/watch each one or C) upon logging in, it should automatically download the stories they’ve watched or have selected as favorites

Good, needs more work

It's got great stories, artwork is always good and the voices are usually fairly famous ones that step in to make a story. I really do like this as an educational tool, so I remain happy I bought it over ahead ago. Big problem for me is not being able to use this on any other device but the iPad I bought it on, so I have to pull mine out every time we use this thing.

Caution FREE Trial is Fraud

I signed up for the year subscription with a free month trial. I canceled after a week and I was still charged for a year and it says I can still have access for a year. What happened to the free trial? It’s not a free trial if they charge you for a year and won’t end it during the free trial.
