Foundations Memory Work C1 アプリのレビュー

.

This app says up to six people can share it. I’m the father of a large family and we share many apps. But this one will NOT work. It requires $10/child, for each cycle. CC should do better than to make false claims.

Buy the cds instead, the quality is terrible

I have been with CC for a few years and me and my kids definitely enjoy it. But why isn’t there a song for each subject? We struggle with Science the most because there are no songs for it. Plus, it’s way too overpriced. I found out they have the songs for free on YouTube! Plus others who created their own songs. I feel scammed for paying my money when they were FREE! And I wish you could skip the intro at the beginning and just go to the song. Disappointed 😔

reading is so much better than wasting your data?

I was disappointed to see that there are no songs that included in the app. I was hoping that this would be a review option for us, but without music, it is not helpful at all. It basically just reads the foundations book to you.

Would be 5 stars if we had the full timeline and presidents song. The spoken word is boring and we generally skip them. Would love that updated!

My husband is in tech development, so I know how hard it is! The features and items currently in this app work as they should, not glitchy, appears to have downloaded all content locally to my device, which in my case I prefer since I have the memory space and my internet connection is unreliable. For some people that could be a negative, if their device’s memory is already full. I hope the developers listen to the reviewers for future updates. Until then, I won’t purchase any more cycles. Some things parents would find indispensable: We need the timeline song, as so many have already pointed out. Specifically, the timeline song as a video that flips through pictures of the history cards. Make sure it’s timestamped, and we can move backward and forward, and have a continuous play (repeat) option. I have seen this resource in existence on a resource PC disk I once had, so the content is basically there, just needs to be added. Also, we need flexibility to create playlists, to play all the subjects from the same week on repeat, or to just repeat a single track. Also, most of us don’t want to listen to the talking/narration before the songs, so an option to turn that on or off. Most children memorize best with the music, and the narration only wastes our time trying to get to the song part. Along the lines of playlists, also a feature that keeps playing, so we can listen in the car to a whole subject at once, or one week after another, without needing to hit the “skip” button to move on. Keep up the good and difficult work—I look forward to these features being added in the future.

Sucky…

You should be able to skip the narration before the history songs, or even not have them at all. It’s annoying waiting for a boring narration before singing the song.

All it does is read aloud the sentence. Complete waste of money. No songs like cycle 3

Disappointed with what did not come with the app. For the hefty price of the app, you would think it would include everything but unfortunately it hardly includes any of the songs, the timeline section doesn’t even includes words (just pictures), and no Presidents.

This App is disappointing to me. I though it would have all the songs with the memory work but it only has the Math songs. Major waste of money.

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.

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.

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 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!

I just purchased this app. It’s good so far. I don’t like that I’m unable to skip through the narration/songs. I have to listen to it from the beginning. My kids want to listen to the song sometimes not the narration in the beginning.

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 additional money. I sure hope that future updates include MAJOR improvements. Otherwise, it’s a total waste of money.

I have no friends on roblox so I want friends yes plz and yes thank you. And to all the roosters out there yiur a rooster for a reason. Indeed yes sir. Now don’t be roosters anymore. Cuz roosters are dumb.yeah. And the app is fun

They are the equivalent of a simple flash card for each weeks lesson. I thought there would be lessons involved with each, but instead it was like reading the table of contents. Not worth the price or download space. Really disappointing.

Love this resource and the update! Thanks

This app is not right so it should not be like this instead it needs to be the way that it is on my other older iPad Mini that I just got on July 1, 2015.

We accidentally purchased the wrong cycle. Are refunds available?

This app is fantastic for reviewing weekly memory work! I only wish it had a couple things... First, it would be VERY helpful to have the timeline song sectioned out with each week. The same way the history sentence is read, then sung... it would be great to have the same with timeline. Second, it would be nice to have an option to play through one week at a time without having to swipe up after each subject.

This app is extremely expensive but offers next to nothing that the CD doesn’t have. Come on CC! Get in the 21st century! The functionality and controls are so limited and it really offers no new ways to engage with the material.

I love it for on the go review, it’s also helpful for tutor prep and community day. My kids can easily use the app when I need them to do their review and I can’t sit with them. Very convenient!

This app is helpful in many ways but lacking the timeline song of all things. Overpriced for lacking key study materials. I wish tests were available for Memory Masters. Needs more.

My grandkids LOVE this app! My special needs granddaughter even operates the entire set herself, reviewing all the weeks! At other times, it is a family or a sisters event and just a pleasurable, instructive, enjoyable part of the kids days, weeks, and years.

Each week’s memory work at my fingertips! The layout is so pleasant and it is very easy to navigate between topics and weeks just with a swipe. Love this. My kids love watching the topics reveal themselves bit by bit and it’s just such a lovely presentation. We have the book and the cards and also each week on iTunes for the car ride, but this app still provides unique value to our CC experience as we snuggle up and review.

I was really excited to have this on my phone so we could listen while driving, but then discovered that it’s unusable while driving since it only plays one song at a time! When each song ends, you have to look down (not a good idea while driving!) and tap the arrow to go to the next song! Major oversight! Also, for a $15 app there’s no timeline song?! I’ve never spent that much on an app, and never used an app so little. I ended up having to get the cds too and put them in Apple Music. So now we can listen to the timeline song, as well as all the history sentences , timeline, and preposition song all in a row, without having to look down dangerously. Also the app should separate speaking sentences vs singing. When we want to hear the history, we want to hear one *song* after another, not speaking then a song and speaking then a song. Same with tutoring. If we can’t remember how to start a tune, a need a jump on the beginning of a song, but I have to wait all the way through the speaking to get to it. So as much as the app is a great idea, until they allow you to play songs continuously, play the timeline song, and separate singing and speaking for the relevant subjects, I’ll be sticking with cds and don’t recommend the app.

I bought this app so I would have easy access to the materials without a CD player on hand. Why is the timeline song not on here?? It has to be the most frustrating thing! I feel like I just loaded something on my phone for $15 that isn’t worth a dime. How hard is it, CC, to put the timeline song on here? Better yet, break it down into sections per week so we don’t have to try and find that perfect spot to begin on the whole song. Classical approach to education yes, but let’s leave the classical there - jump to modern era with your app, please!?

This app is good for review weeks, especially when on the toad or need to review your weeks real quick. But for a $16($15.99) app, I disappointed that it cost that much, yet doesn’t have the timeline song or the presidents’ song on it. It could also have the scripture that the whole community is learning week by week(Exodus 20) for cycle 1. The app I feel is like most resources to use with CC, overpriced.

The timeline song is the only way to remember the entire timeline easily. Please add it to this rather expensive app. Please consider songs for the other subjects as well. We remember history the best because of the songs.

Please don’t pay for this. I already have the CDs, maps and the book. It’s the same information on this app. I feel like I paid double for the same information. There is no timeline song, no information for the cards. This so expensive for nothing.

I have been doing this app for a year and I had no problem with it

Since the update in Dec the app won’t close on my iPhone Max. I have To restart my phone to turn the app off! The app support link just sends me to the main CC website so it’s no help.

How dare you say that stuff. The cc app is amazing! That’s all I have to say

This rating is only on the usability of the app, not the material content. We’ve been a part of a CC community for 5 years and I love the curriculum. But the app has much to be desired. I purchased the app this year for the first time since I only listen to music from my phone. It continually shuts down on me during the history songs and I then have to start over from the beginning. Also, it would be nice if you could play an entire week or subject at a time, without having to hit play after each subject and week. It’s very difficult for me to review with the kids in the car, which was the number one reason I purchased it. Overall, I am very disappointed in the functionality of this app.

It doesn’t have the timeline song on the app. Also I wish it would have a continual run thru. It would be nice if I could just play the week or the subject continually. You have to swipe to go to the next subject or week every time.

Last year’s app was great but this one cuts out every time we use it.

Hi

Like everything else CC does its overpriced and under delivers. How about some quizzing abilities? It would be great if you could drag geography names onto the places, or say I’d like to work on weeks 1-6. How about scrambled time line cards you have to put in order? Why am I doing all this for you? A lot of us spend more time in our cars than we’d like, we can’t carry all our timeline cards with us everywhere we go. I was hoping this app would help. It’s a lame over priced app.

I like the app. It has all the songs plus the visuals.

This app is already limited with material and lacking flexibility of an auto play feature. The Science Snippets and History Highlights are sorely missed. Our family would cast the app onto our TV so we could all view the screen together and read this information. This is the most expensive app I’ve ever purchased and I do so because I tutor and my kids use to it prepare for memory master. We use it quite a lot however is this bare bones and a no frills app. Usually updates include MORE features, not less!

I’ve had this app for several years. I was happy to see that when the curriculum updated from 4th edition to 5th edition i didn’t need to pay for the app again. My kindergartener uses this to review while I’m working with one on one in other subjects with my older child.

Love the convenience of having access to these songs on this app! But, I would love to see a feature where we can play all the material and songs from each week one after the other in a loop without having to go to each subject and week to get to the song. Kind of like a week by week playlist? This would be amazing! Thanks!

Pro: it has the memory work, history songs, Latin songs, and its user friendly. Cons: you have to swipe for it to play, there are not interactive or game elements and it doesn’t have the preposition or timeline song. Also, the cycle 3app had science snippets and extra history info. Those were handy and I miss them in this cycles version.

App is very useful for our daily memory work, but I have to keep my finger hovering over the screen to keep it from going to sleep every few minutes, even in the middle of a song. Royal pain. PLEASE FIX THIS!!!
