Foundations Memory Work C2 Reviews

We love CC! We also use FoundationsMemoryWorkC2 a lot for our review time. However, I dislike that the audio starts as soon as you choose your subject and week. I have to quickly hit pause if using it in class. I also dislike the fact that FoundationsMemoryWorkC2 has not been updated with the new Presidents song. The song is available for free on CC connected, however it hasn't been updated on FoundationsMemoryWorkC2 . Getting on CC connected requires having an internet connection and sometimes even then, the link doesn't work. So having the updated song on FoundationsMemoryWorkC2 would be very helpful and would be easy to update FoundationsMemoryWorkC2 with it. I do agree with the other reviewer when it comes to CC making $$ of selling new curriculum. It seems like CC should offer a trade in like IEW did! IEW was so generous when they updated their TWSS. I hope that when CC switches to the new foundations guide that they will update the apps also instead of creating new one and making us buy them over again. I don't mind the tuition costs, because I know it goes to paying the tutor, director, SR and so on.

I hope this doesn’t sound too critical but my mind is bursting with ideas on how this could be so much better! For $15 bucks I was expecting something pretty amazing. (I mean, what app out there costs that much?!) Instead, you get something that looks like a power point presentation (you skip to the next slide for each week’s memory work in different subjects). Yes— a power point with clip art and 1990s font and colors. The content is good and “does the trick”...yes, it aids with CC memory work but it could be so much better as far as inspiring wonder, and being beautiful as well as more interactive and user friendly. Time to update to 2019! People buy this because it has the content they need for their child to learn, but it could be SO MUCH BETTER! Also, by way of price... make your CC apps an average price for an app, and charge for “in app purchases” just like everyone else does. Or, better yet, charge CC families $5 a month for use of apps. But first, you gotta make it worth it!

There is so much more that could be done with FoundationsMemoryWorkC2. My wishlist starts with updating the skip counting songs up to 15. There is a numberline that has 15 spots on it at the bottom of the screen, but the skip counting songs for the 2s and the 3s at least, only go up to 12.
Probably just a mistake, but my wife is supposed to be teaching these songs in a little more than a month, and would like FoundationsMemoryWorkC2 to reflect the songs she is supposed to teach.
Thank you CC for providing FoundationsMemoryWorkC2. If you have the resources to pay for better app development, it would be well invested.
I gave five stars trusting that the skip counting songs will be brought up to date before the school year starts.

The CC app is a nice tool to use on community days for review of individual topics and the content is pretty great. That said it is lacking a few crucial features and falls well short of being user friendly when used at home for review.

A few added features could make FoundationsMemoryWorkC2 absolutely amazing! The best change that could be made to FoundationsMemoryWorkC2 would be a repeat feature that would allow the user to loop/continuously play their choice of individual topics or an entire week without having to babysit FoundationsMemoryWorkC2 . As it is now I have to constantly be on top of the button to hit play every 10 seconds.

Classical Conversations is great for homeschooling but FoundationsMemoryWorkC2 falls well short of being user friendly when used at home.

Love CC so much! Wish there were a few improvements on FoundationsMemoryWorkC2 , but the content is fabulous! Listening while we are on the go has brought us together as a family! We do it often at the breakfast table or while we are walking. When the kids get screen time, they often just play this to test themselves. Grateful for FoundationsMemoryWorkC2 especially. I hardly use the book now. My friend whose kids are in public school also uses FoundationsMemoryWorkC2 with them. **we need timeline song though!**

I like FoundationsMemoryWorkC2 , and I like having it on my phone so we can practice memory work anywhere. I also own the CD's so we can play it in the car, but we only have a CD player in our play room so I can't play the CD everywhere. I wish FoundationsMemoryWorkC2 had an "auto-play" option to play continuously through either subjects or weeks. That way it would just continue to play until you stopped playing. It gets expensive to buy the CD's (which we can just continue to play until we want to stop practicing) and FoundationsMemoryWorkC2 .

FoundationsMemoryWorkC2 is great. We use it daily in the home and in the car.

Two issues:
1. It should be fully integrated with CC connected. One portal for memory work, and support for teaching memory work, would make our school time flow so much smoother.
2. It should be supported on Apple TV. We prefer to minimize screen time and do not allow our children to have time on tablets or phones (that will come during the challenge years). However, we use the Apple TV for multimedia support during school time, and it would make much more sense to use the Apple TV rather than holding up a phone or tablet when drilling memory work.

Excellent for what it has however it is missing the timeline song. It has the timeline but I would like the song to be there as well. I hate that I only can access it in CD, or ok up every week online. I want to be able to play it from my phone and iPads over and over again but am unable to with FoundationsMemoryWorkC2. Especially frustrating that the CD version of memory work includes the song but FoundationsMemoryWorkC2 doesn’t. Why????

You might think FoundationsMemoryWorkC2 would test your child or provide something that the cd doesn't. It does not. Do not waste your $15 (!!! What app costs $15??) There is absolutely nothing here that isn't in the book or CD, no ability to check recall or test knowledge, no activities to do besides listening. I'm actually confused as to why they produced an app except that they didn't have to do much besides transfer their pre-recorded material and could take in another $15. Having a method of testing/reviewing cc knowledge by playing games etc on an app seems extremely logical. This is not it. Please come up with something like that and I'd be happy to purchase it. This was a total waste of money.

We do love FoundationsMemoryWorkC2. I don’t love that it always opens week one. I feel like a pop up should happen so we can choose right away. I would also love to see in FoundationsMemoryWorkC2 and inter active section for the kids. Where they either add missing words to new grammar or point to countries on the map and FoundationsMemoryWorkC2 tells them the name etc. I think my kiddos would love it more if it was interactive like that. :)

We are a Classical Conversations family. We just got FoundationsMemoryWorkC2 today (THANK YOU, CC!!) and my girls went right to town listening to the memory work. My 4-year-old started by going through the math. Then her 7-year-old sister took over and they all were singing along to every history song. I love that they can now practice on their own — and they love it so far! 💜

This is definitely handy when you don’t have access to a CD player. I would appreciate being able to find the week I’m looking for with out having to play and skip through. So if there were a list of links for each week (and an option to play all) after selecting the subject, it would be more user friendly.

It's a good app and serves its purpose, but definitely overpriced. In the future, I would love for CC to add the Bible verses that go along with each cycle and even the catechism questions that are available free on the website. My kids would love it if the Timeline song was included with each week's Timeline section.

FoundationsMemoryWorkC2 is great. We use it everyday for school. The information is fantastic. I gave it 3 stars because in a recent update the weeks and subjects tab was changed to dark blue against a black background and we can barely see them. Every time we need to move to the next subject both my on and I squint and struggle to see the words. I’d give FoundationsMemoryWorkC2 5 stars otherwise.

The whole app is great, It is designed well and I use it all the time. I am a triple crown memory master, and I couldn’t of done it without FoundationsMemoryWorkC2. But the answers pop up way too quickly!! It’s very frustrating! It really needs to be fixed! I wish it would just give me one second before popping up. And some songs are glitchy. FOR FIFTEEN DOLLARS?!?! cc is so greedy . I love cc, but they really are a money grab sometimes

This updated app provides the memory work for cycle 2 - no timeline song. Would be helpful to have a way to listen to a whole weeks memory work without having to select each subject individually; it would also be nice to have the ability to automatically repeat content without having to manually repeat. Thanks!

Easier than skipping through the CD but some growth for improvement:
-The audio starts at week 1 every time and you have to scroll to your week. Wish it froze on the week you’re on with the ability to skip to other weeks.
-The audio starts as soon as you click on a subject. Wish there was a play button to start.
-The timeline song is not included. Please please add the timeline song!

The folks at CC could make this great with some really basic improvements. Add the songs. Match the timing (for example during skip counting the twos) and slow it down! The map especially goes by way too fast. Also the map should highlight the geographical areas with a new color not just add the names. Also the timeline song should be included. These are just a few improvements that should be made by this great organization/company. I am curious why it isn’t better.

This isn’t acceptable. The tutors are ready, the parents are ready, the directors are ready. But you have not proven to hold up your end. We have been doing Foundations for over a decade. You have had sufficient time to organize your company and your days well. FoundationsMemoryWorkC2 is a major part of your curriculum. How do you expect your people to promote this organization if you can’t be faithful to your followers? First things first.

I use this WAY more than the Audio CDs and thought it would have all the same information. Love all the visuals and extra info like the science snippets and history highlights but seriously...Where's the timeline song? I also agree with the other reviews here that the option to put on a continuos loop would greatly improve FoundationsMemoryWorkC2 .
