A subscription learning app for children roughly ages 2–8, with games and activities covering reading, math, science, and early school skills.
What users love
Kids open the app on their own and ask for it every day — some wake parents up in the morning just to use it
Children come back voluntarily and play almost daily
love this app ❤️
I love it
it's tricky, but my daughter loves it and can hardly get off of it
Kids actually learn to read, count, and write their name — parents notice them pulling ahead of classmates
Measurable results: reading, math, writing — children outpace peers
It's giving so much education now when my daughter took her staar test she got a 💯
This app is absolutely WONDERFUL. It's actually more advanced than what my child learns in school.
ABCmouse is an app that is filled with educational activities for kids. I introduced my daughter to this app when she was 2 years old and she still uses it most days a year later.
Learning is wrapped in games and rewards so kids don't realize they're studying
Play and positive reinforcement make learning feel effortless, not like a chore
Wow. Thank you.
excellent experience
i unsubscribe y u still taking money from my account am going to report this app
Separate profile per child, age- and grade-adjusted content, progress visible to parents
Multiple profiles on one subscription, age-appropriate tasks, parents can track progress
My son loves learning so he enjoys the app very much. He uses it often and he has learned a lot. I think the set up is very organized and easy to navigate. It has a lot of lessons in all of the material so your child will always be learning.
cool
love ❤️
Works especially well for kids with ADHD and autism — holds attention where other apps fail
Parents of children with special needs report calm engagement and real benefit
It helped my children a lot thanks!
Very good for my grand kids.
My 2yo loves ABC Mouse
Price feels steep for a kids' app — parents think education should be more affordable
Some parents find the annual price fair for the volume of content
I would rate it 5 stars if it didn't have the subscription. I am Fabian's goddaughter, and this app is meant for small children, SMALL, so this app shouldn't have a subscription with money for a LITTLE KIDS GAME. Oh and my name is Dalilah, I'm just on my Godfather's phone.
doesn't even load
it's a scam paying extra for every thing. I want to cancel and they dont not make it easy.
What users hate
Tickets and pets hijack focus — kids chase rewards and stick to easy tasks instead of actually learning
The reward loop undermines learning: kids farm easy levels for tickets rather than progressing
it constantly takes my money and won't cancel my subscription I dont understand
has been so great for my 4-year-old son he loves the pets
my mom used to buy this app for us but we never learned anything we would always watch the videos 🙏😭 it's a good morning app me and my siblings were just dumb 😞
Too much happening on screen at once — young children get overstimulated and melt down
Cluttered screens and non-stop music overload toddlers, leading to tantrums
cool
It was very exciting
this game for little kid✌😒✌
Every activity requires reading, yet the app markets itself to kids who can't read yet
Pre-readers can't navigate independently — text everywhere, almost no intuitive icons
My brother loves ABcmouse
brings back memorys
my sister love it
Some parents see no real learning value — just videos, coloring, and games that teach nothing
Activities feel hollow: kids are entertained but not learning anything
too repetitive
this app I don't like this app I was just that was free and you can do stuff on it already about putting your email in
want money and too many ads straight out the gate
Content gets repetitive, and after an update you can no longer focus on a specific letter or number — the app decides
Repetition wears thin; drilling a target letter or number is no longer possible
too repetitive
i love the original! part two is boring and only goes up to 2nd grade!
the old version was awesome this one sucks. the update they did they need to undo don't fix something that's not broken. this new version they changed how you can learn the ABC & 123 now they choose it for you I don't like that. you can't focus on certain letters or numbers they choose it for you. they should have left it as is my kids don't like it anymore. I think I'm going to cancel because it
The app praises wrong answers the same as right ones — mistakes go uncorrected and unnoticed
Wrong answers get rewarded instead of corrected, so errors never get addressed
purchased a year upfront thinking I was getting a 30 day trial. one day in in regretting it. It rewards wrong responses.
My kids love it and think it's a fun game but they're learning at the same time, so glad I got abc mouse for them
Kids hit a ceiling at age 8, and the follow-up — Adventure Academy — is a separate paid subscription
Children quickly outgrow it; the next step is a separate charge, not covered by the same account

This app is not working. I installed and tried to use it. After entering payment information, it asked me to answer a survey on where I heard about the app. it says the survey is optional. I can't skip the survey, but I get an error whenever I try to select any option. The app won't go past the survey. it keeps saying, "There was an error." It's unfortunate that the app would have such a serious b
Art & Music, Reading, and Math sections go down for months — kids can't get into lessons
Entire sections stay broken for extended periods, making those lessons inaccessible
it's great, but not perfect.
I gave it one-star because it wouldn't let me type my password WHY IS THERE EVEN IPA LOG IN
it really is helping my child I just wish it could be a little more interactive with games and I'm having problems on a few activities like it won't show everything so you can't complete the activity
No single-child tier — one profile costs the same as four
You pay a family rate even if you only have one child
it's a scam paying extra for every thing. I want to cancel and they dont not make it easy.
Garbage. Only teaches kids how to use a phone.
Only American spellings and pronunciation — grating for families outside the US
No regional variants for spelling or pronunciation, and units of measure are US-only
Trying to implement ”Metric" measurements! Basically, begin to implement "Metric measurements"! Obviously a "product's Metric measurement's need be listed FIRST, followed by its "Conventional measurement!". Only then will one begin to realize the potential to occur! Again, need list ANY/ALL METRIC MEASUREMENTS FIRST, followed by the "conventional measurement'!". With exposure to the actual [Produc
Please PLEASE do not download this app unless you are willing to pay. It is so difficult to cancel the subscription, I cannot express this enough DO NOT USE. I am still having to dispute charges on my account after canceling my subscription! PLEASE do not if you don't want or need to get this app!!!!
Old and new versions conflict: after ABCmouse 2.0 launched, the classic app stopped recognizing paid subscriptions
Migrating to 2.0 breaks login — a loop of 'download the app' appears inside the already-open app
No longer works since ABC Mouse 2 came out. It won't recognize subscription.
I like it
it works great on my phone and tablet .
