Foundations Memory Work C1 App Reviews

Good resourse

Great pictures and has the information needed for weekly review! Wish there were more songs though.

Will not play when connected as USB device

The only reason I bought this app was so that I could play it in the car through our USB port. It will NOT play. I tried multiple phones, devices and other apps to make sure something had not shorted out in our suburban. It is the app. It does not play. PLEASE whoever updates this app give it an update. Im upset that I spent $15 on something that doesnt work for the primary purpose that I needed it.

Great Tool!

I hesitated to buy this app based on negative reviews found here. Im glad I asked a friend and learned that its actually a great resource. It DOES contain songs. Maybe not every song found on the CDs but it definitely has the songs I need for my kindergartner. Im so glad I purchased this rather than the CDs. Great interactive resource for my daughter and me.

Great for Review

I love having all our memory work at my fingertips. We use this app twice a day for a quick review - once in the morning and once before bed.

Not worth the money

With very few songs, (not the Timeline Song,) an awkward, unsophisticated layout, and a lack of extras that might have made this app worth even half the amount CC charges for it, I feel that this company should feel embarrassed to produce something so substandard and charge so much money for it. 16 dollars for one of three apps? I paid already for the book- why not include this? Classical Conversations has a bad habit of overcharging for underwhelming curriculum. I was hoping to have my children use this app without my help, but that will not be possible.

Good tool, but needs updating!

I am a tutor and have used the apps for 2 consecutive cycles. They have been helpful as I prepare to tutor my class, and helpful at home. BUT... Ive noticed that it never seems to be updated. There are geographical errors on the maps that CC is aware of, yet they have not corrected them. For the money I paid, I expected an educational app that is functional AND correct. If errors were corrected, Id give it a higher rating. (More songs wouldnt hurt, either)

Needs music

I agree with the others. This app only goes over what was learned. I expected a lot more. Its the most expensive app I ever bought - no review games and only a few with music. I think Id like a refund.

Great resource for CC lite

I know several families who participate in CC and am always impressed with all that they are learning. I am not quite ready to join, as it is quite pricey compared to what I now pay just homeschooling on our own at home. However, I was happy to buy this app in order to access the basic curriculum to keep my kids somewhat abreast in case we join when they are older (which we plan to do). We have completed all 24 weeks, and I have been impressed with the content, layout, songs, ease of use, etc. My 9 yr old and 7 yr old are able to use this on their own, though I do it with them once a week to see what they are learning. I plan to buy the next app after Christmas. My only regret is that the app isnt available for Kindle Fire, as those devices are dramatically cheaper than apple products.

Unimpressed

I was so disappointed with this app, I was under the WRONG impression that this was an interactive app but it is in fact just the CC music CD set to pictures! Not worth the $15.99 so disappointed looking to try and get a refund ... I have only had it for 15 minutes!

Homeschool mom

I love this app! It is a perfect way to review when out and about or at home. You can even access the "Science Snippets" and "History Highlights!"

Great for CC Families

If you understand Classical Conversations and you follow the classical model for home education, then this app will be very useful. My kids use it daily to review their memory work.

Some Use, But Overpriced

I agree completely with Sadiecpt that it is overpriced and falls spectacularly short of the potential it has. Yes, it makes it easy for your student to review the material independently by paging through the memory work, and the songs for math, grammar, history sentence and latin are there. So why no Timeline song? For the price and because it would make the most of the media, I would have expected to have not only the timeline song, but also the timeline card information. It wouldve been so convenient to have that in the app. Interactive map practice? It could have been a reality, but you can only watch and listen to the narrator as the map is labeled. Just so much potential for interactive learning that is absent and too expensive for what you get. It leaves so much room for you to need to buy other expensive things such as the audio CD or a CC connected subscription to get the Timeline song, or a nearly hundred dollar set of history cards to get THAT information.

Lacking

I was hoping for more interactive features. Examples- Place the countries on the black line map, match declensions with its case, fill in the blank for other subjects (science, math, history sentence?). Basically, this app is a repeat of the audio CD in many ways. Disappointing at $15.99.

Use with caution!

There are errors in this aps geography and Latin pronunciation! These errors can cause your child to not achieve memory master, as the tutors and director will only allow the answers in the foundations guide. However, most info is correct, handy to have on the go, and a great visual aid.

Somewhat disappointing

Graphics are nice and bright. I wish there was an auto play option so I could sit my phone down and let it play for overall review for all weeks, as well as, specific weeks. Would also like the option for it to be more interactive. Quizzes/Review for each week would be nice. Fill in the blank. It would also be very nice if the timeline was more interactive. I would love to have the option to tap on a photo and receive some of the facts and history that come on the back of the timeline cards. Overall lackluster for $16.

Wonderful resource

Im shocked and blown away at all the negative feedback on this app. Sure it would be nice if they added the timeline song however then the app would have everything you need and almost replace the book and other resources. Its wisdom that they dont allow just anyone to purchase an app that includes everything. That said. I love the apps, they are visual and work beautifully. My kids love them and it allows for easy visual and auditory review that doesnt require parental assistance. Its a wonderful app and I think its worth every penny. Love it totally recommend!
