basic free game gives you a taste of it. i buy it because it unlocks everything and i can add to the grandparents phone when they are with them in offices bored. my 3 almost 4 loves it and he loves the music. its worth getting. Wi-Fi is making sure its correct and if still maybe update or phone needs updated. i really hope you give this a chance and spend the money sure its $35 but come on people for the whole year!!
Reviews for Starfall
I used to play this game in school as a pre-kindergartener and a kindergartener. I stumbled across this again, 12 years later, and remember all the good times. I remember brushing my dolls hair while reading one of the folktales, playing the hippo math game, and it's just very nostalgic now. I miss this and I think schools should bring starfall back for students to play and have a blast like I did and then years later have that sad but happy feeling years later.
If you (the parent) purchase the Android version, your kid cannot use it on their device application. They aren't transparent with this information and do not issue refunds. Horribly designed purchase process that seems deliberately designed to force you to an annual subscription. ==EDIT== They give a word-vomit reply blaming Google. Netflix is a subscription service but it isn't locked down to one single device. So many other subscriptions are not this DRM crazy. It's a choice, not an accident.
My daughter didn't use this app before the age of 4 much... However I kept it available and as soon as she started learning the ABC's and reading sight words in preschool... She fell in love with this app at home! Throughout her kindergarten year this was her go-to favorite "game" along with Kiddopia. She is excelling in all school subjects. Thank you Starfall creators: you've made learning fun for my daughter and I attribute her enjoyment of learning to Starfall's awesome content!
We've used starfall for about 5 years now. My daughter learned to read using this program and she still uses it, thanks to the extra grades added, as extra study in our homeschool. My preschooler is using it along with our homeschool studies and loves to sing along with the vowel songs. Hopefully he'll be reading soon too. This is such an excellent program. I love the convenience of the app, but love that I can print worksheets to go along with what we're focusing on as well. Thank you Starfall!
I'm trying to go to the Starfall and it doesn't let me undownload and that's it please
The subscription is affordble. Its very user friendly for kids. My kids have been using this app for years at home and at school. They love it! For them its a treat to be able to play. It's geared mainly toward Pre-K through 1st grade but they just recently added more content for 2nd and 3rd grade.
We love this program! Thoroughly covers reading and math from pre-k level up to elementary. There is also some science and music and educational games mixed in. We are using it for our 4 year old in conjunction with work books and flash cards. I can't say enough good things about Starfall!
son loves app. lately it tells us we are not connected to the internet even when we are. Even tried using cellular data and it still says not connected. this happens on an S7 running oreo and an s4 running kitkat. Every other app requiring internet works so it is not our connection. it also works on our ios device. just not here on the ones he wants it to work on (autism logic) please HELP.
I started on the Starfall website when my daughter was just shy of four, to work on her fine motor skills. She loved it, her next sister loved it, then her brother... I wasn't sure he paid attention to it at all. He played the games, especially the word builder machine, but it was like pulling teeth to get him to do letter practice or sound things out in public. (or numbers, or colors, or....) Well, when he was nearly five, I walked past his room and heard him "reading" a Garfield comic. I politely asked my husband when he'd started doing Garfield books as the bedtime story. He looked confused and said he never had done such. ...the toot had taught himself to read from watching his sisters, and from playing the word-forming game. We're a really booky family, we read for FUN, and that was pretty dang impressive.
