Montessori Preschool, Kids 3-7 Reviews

by Lishakat

MontessoriPreschoolKids37 designer displays very unethical behavior unbecoming of a company who produces content for CHILDREN. I Downloaded MontessoriPreschoolKids37 in search of educational content for my 4yr old during the pandemic. I was aware of the trial period however the way that it is pitched is very misleading. I was automatically enrolled into the one year subscription that MontessoriPreschoolKids37 provides at an absurd price for what is offered. I was not given the opportunity to select the one month subscription prior to paying $64. I also see that MontessoriPreschoolKids37 is very active in responding to its customers. I put in a request for a full refund and have canceled the service. I expect and hope to hear from your company soon as well as a prompt return of the money that was taken!

I downloaded this for my 3 year old to do at home. He usually attends a bilingual Montessori school. I figured I’ll let the trial period transfer to the monthly subscription if he liked it. Much to my disgust, I discovered that the trial automatically transfers to a $65/year annual subscription instead of the monthly subscription. I wasn’t even given an option to choose monthly or annual. Totally unethical! Who does that? Now that I’ve already been charged I know they won’t want to refund me at all even though I cancelled it. They count on people not noticing this so they can charge you the full amount.

I wouldn’t mind the $65 charge so much if I thought MontessoriPreschoolKids37 was worth it, but it’s not. It’s not very intuitive on what are the actual activities vs what’s random stuff in the classroom that just makes sounds. Also, why is there not cursive hand writing lessons in MontessoriPreschoolKids37? That’s part of the core Montessori learning experience. My friend recommended Kahn Academy Kids to me as a 100% free alternative (no trial). It loads faster, has better content, and has a more intuitive layout. I would rather pay $65/year for that than for this Montessori Preschool app.

If I was refunded the annual fee less a 1 month subscription fee I would consider changing my review to 4 stars.

Did the trial app is not user friendly. A year later I get a receipt charge of $59!ask for a refund and canceling the subscription of an app I had to look up because of it all about it that’s how memorable it is. We actually use the homer app way more user friendly and my child has learned a lot. Really upset with their response that they wouldn’t auto renew in 2022 but I’m still being billed for a year you don’t even get an email notifying you of the renewals before hand just a fat bill. Don’t even do the free trial not worth it so they can bill you unexpectedly with no refund. I would give it zero stars if I had the option.

I’ve now tried over 14 times to try the free trial on monthly basis. MontessoriPreschoolKids37 is the current version but always gets stuck on the white gear to subscribe. I managed on one try to enter my email and password which it retained, but still can’t get past the gear screen. I’m on 2020 iPad all operating systems current and so frustrated for my kiddo that wants to play the doctor game. I think an app owner / developer should try the subscription functions themselves from multiple devices to be sure they work. Nothing more of a turnoff than not being able to pay for an app and not be able to move past the buy us now screen.

This is not a free app as advertised. You can’t do a single thing without subscribing. The subscription cost is absurdly high when you consider how many apps offer at least SOME of this type of content for free. The preview they offer isn’t enough to entice me into doing a free trial, especially when it seems “free trials” for apps are meant to dupe people into paying the subscription. I didn’t see ANY promise of continued content being produced, so why would someone do a monthly or yearly subscription? That’s like a textbook book, with a finite amount of content, coming with a monthly subscription rate. Umm, no thanks. I might pay a flat rate for it if the preview made it look worth it, but it definitely doesn’t seem worth subscribing. My daughter is 2.5 years old and she’d be done with all the matching, sorting, color, shapes and a couple other things in the preview after about an hour. If there’s more to explore for her developmental range, I didn’t see it in the preview.

The free version of MontessoriPreschoolKids37 is practically adware for the paid version. Ads in the UI, constant upsell queues, distracting animations until you pay.

Were it well made I would consider doing the free trial to see what the paid experience is like, but the paint app showed me this is lower quality than the free Khan Academy Kids app. The differences being that this locks all but a few pictures and the drawing sound likes the gesture and paint by hundreds of milliseconds.

I’m glad people are making money helping kids to learn, but it’s got to be better than what’s free. Check out the Khan Academy Kids app for an entirely and permanently free app that covers much of the same curriculum.

My toddler has been using MontessoriPreschoolKids37 for a week now and overall it seems great. However there’s a section in MontessoriPreschoolKids37 where kids can learn to cook on the stove. After you select items to cook, you cut them up into small pieces. One of the protein options is sausage and when you start cutting it, it makes a pretty obvious image of a penis (how original.) No other food item that shape seems to cut the same way either. It’s obvious enough that my two year old asked me what it was. Now I feel like I have to sit and watch every detail of MontessoriPreschoolKids37 if he were to continue to use it.

by Mini_luke

The game used to be great and works fine but as they added more items which is great the game is lagging out and freezing more and more. The bugs gets my son confused and then deters him from wanting to continue learning and explore. It’ll be great if all the bugs and the freezes can be fixed, otherwise this is becoming a waste of money to subscribe to.

by Shamickaw

MontessoriPreschoolKids37 is great so far and my three year old loves it. Also, about the featured review... unless you’ve changed MontessoriPreschoolKids37 , there was nothing that looked like a penis and I wonder if the person that wrote that review has ever seen one. It’s sad that people take anything that is shaft shaped and try to make something out of nothing. Stop trying to ruin children’s games because you’re a Karen.

After wanting my daughter to prepare for starting school, i compared multiple educational apps. What i appreciate about this one is the way in which it blends concepts and learning with playful discovery. Definitely a new favorite for my daughter, and i expect her to like it for a while (5 years old). A bit expensive, but as long as there are regular updates, it is worth the purchase for me.

by Bess@1

Even though I try to minimize getting paid apps for my children, this one made it on the list of selective few that I purchased. Why? Pleasant graphics and games, clearly designed by teachers or people who know how to keep kid's interest and focus on task. My kids can do math, play with words or objects, play with a 3D pig. The hardest part is to take the Ipad away when it is time to go to bed ;) 5 stars for this!

by Buffy Keave

Very satisfied with this product, better than most other educational apps that I have tested, my kids also enjoy it. I recommend testing it for free before buying, then you can get the feedback directly from your kids, after all, it is them who have to like it and learn with it. My twins have learned so much from this, great discovery that I recommend to all parents of young kids!

There is a problem in MontessoriPreschoolKids37 . I have subscribed monthly, but out of the blue MontessoriPreschoolKids37 says that I am not subscribed, when I reclick to subscribe it says that I am already subscribed .... but all features are locked. So I am paying for the service but not being able to access it. Not sure why... could someone please help.

My daughter is almost 4 and LOVES the Montessori Preschool app. She’s learning in a way that’s fun for her. I’ve also noticed that MontessoriPreschoolKids37 was built with attention to detail and I’m impressed. This is the first app I’ve ever reviewed or subscribed to. Well done to the team that built this, thank you for dedicating your time and efforts towards building an app that provides quality education for young children that’s also affordable.

by AlrCockburn

My kids have limited screen time, but when I do allow them to play it has to be educational AND fun. Montessori Preschool really knocks it out of the park on both of those fronts. They can easily switch between sections to find something that is interesting to them, which keeps them fully engaged. You should definitely download this, if you have young kids! Try it for a week and I guarantee you'll love it!!

I don’t think I have ever paid a monthly subscription or spent more than $3+ on purchasing an app. However, with my 4 year old absolutely loving and learning from this Montessori Preschool, we had no problem spending the $7 a month. It’s been a great way for him to learn as he is unable to go to preschool due to the conditions of the world. He is always asking us for his iPad so he can do his school work. Our child loves and looks forward to using MontessoriPreschoolKids37 and learning.

My son started using Montessori Preschool when he was 2. He is 3.5 now and I am continually amazed by how much he has absorbed from using MontessoriPreschoolKids37 on a regular basis. I love that it gives him freedom to explore concepts independently, just like in an actual Montessori classroom.

I also love that there are plenty of opportunities for the two of us to play together. He loves pretending to teach me about different concepts. We reinforce concepts when we teach others, so it is a joy to see him doing that at such a young age.

If I could suggest *anything*, it would be the addition of Spanish and French. Or at least on of them :) Also, more simplified games around learning the actual music scale. If developers happen to read this, the music learning portion in the ‘Endless Learning Academy’ app could provide some cool inspiration. We have a subscription to that app as well, but mainly use it for their ear training game.

Thank you, Edoki Academy for a beautiful app! You are an integral part of my son’s early education! 😊

MontessoriPreschoolKids37 is very good with a lot of variety, my daughter really engaged with it for the time we had it-she’s just turned 7 so we aren’t keeping it simply because she’s growing out of that stage. BUT I would say it’s a very good app for kids up to 5 or 6. Covers a lot of different subjects without the kids noticing. It’s similar to PBS cute-ness.

I had trouble cancelling the subscription now that it’s usefulness is past, but they have sent information to help me contact them directly, so it seems they value customer service as well. Another plus.

Our daughter loves MontessoriPreschoolKids37!! We originally signed her up when she was 3 yrs old but she’s still loving it at 4 too. There’s practical play along with basic Montessori principles. Simple visual and auditory aids are such a nice break from the fluorescent colors and loud sounds which usually accompany children’s games and apps. We’ve also printed out the PDFs that come with MontessoriPreschoolKids37 for her to color and she loves it. Upon switching devices we had a problem and reached out to customer service which was extremely quick to reply and very helpful to solve our issue. The cost of MontessoriPreschoolKids37 may seem pricey but IMO it is well worth it.

by Carlos@321

This is exactly what i was hoping for, an intelligent way to get my children handling a device. They learn by interacting with 3D characters, reading, writing, doing math, learning Chinese. Everything is just like in a classroom, but accessible on Sunday mornings in our living room. Appreciate that the kids don't have to see ads or can't make in app purchases, that to me alone justifies the price. But the concept and development are well worth my bucks as well.

by RanRoc

My child enjoys MontessoriPreschoolKids37 , but in the past I experienced the same issue as others - It was nearly impossible to cancel. After spending a lot of time and energy trying to cancel and emails to the company about a glitch with their system, I finally removed my CC info so that they couldn't continue billing me. I followed their instructions multiple times and I went about several different routes to attempt cancellation. I'd love to buy MontessoriPreschoolKids37 again, but will not until I hear that this issue has been resolved.

My kids (4 and 6) love Edoki Academy apps. We've downloaded a bunch of them and have never been disappointed. The great thing about this one is that there are so many activities available in one place. It also balances the different subjects (math, reading, art and practical) really well, so they never get bored of it.

by Hjfb@55

Enjoyed the games. nice learning, lots of math, but also reading or playing with words. some seem a bit older, but my kid does not seem to mind and has just as much fun with those. Don't care much for the Chinese classroom. The reason, i give MontessoriPreschoolKids37 5 stars is bcs of the nice designs and the system of recompensation- it really works for us.

by Alice#23

while MontessoriPreschoolKids37 is not cheap, my kids like to play it a lot. the math games are particularly well designed. did not have much knowledge of Montessori before purchasing this, but the kids are learning AND enjoying it, other than the chinese class room. Please update more content every month!

by SaraC81

Decided to continue with the monthly subscription after the free trial period. My 5 year-old daughter loves it. She thinks it hilarious that she can "count" to one million now and I'm happy that it keeps her interested in learning. There are often updates with lots of other activities for her to work on, too.

by Nschulist

It's great to be able to find a product that isn't full of advertisements with content that was created by Montessori teachers. The graphics are appealing and each of the activities were really well-conceived. Looking forward to future updates.
