Foundations Memory Work C1

This is our fourth year in CC and we love it. However, this app is a total disappointment. For $15.99, I was expecting something interactive that actually quizzes the kids on the memory work in fun ways such as games, fill in the blanks, etc. Instead, it just reads out the information and puts it on the screen. Seriously??!! Completely boring and not at all engaging or helpful. My children can read it themselves on a flip book or in the Foundations book without me having to spend additiona

This review is just for the app functionality and not for the content. It would be so helpful to update the app so that you can skip the talking intros and go straight to the songs. Especially in history. Some of the sentences are so long and my kiddos want to be able to sing along several times in a row to learn the song. As it is you have to sit through the entire spoken part. A scrubbing button or a skip function would be amazing!

It really needs the Timeline song and the President’s song. My Challenge student said they changed the timeline tune. My younger kids can’t remember so they’re no help. Guess we’re just singing the old tune until it’s added to the app. I also did not appreciate being forced to buy the app again after changing from android to iPhone. I already paid for the material. Why pay again? Especially for such a pricey app. I’m willing to upgrade my rating if they add the songs

This is a cleanly designed, but very simple app. All three cycles together isn’t worth $16, let alone for just one cycle! If you want this app to earn such a price tag, it needs to do more than rudimentary menus and audio. And the spoken audio should be separated from the songs so that you can listen to the songs without having to listen to the spoken each time.

One of my favorite aspects of the CC memory work is the timeline song, which is NOT included?! What a disappointment. I sure hope that they listen to all of this feedback and decide to update.
