Bob.bob, Parent: TERRIBLE! She has been stuck here, on 1 question for 3 hours trying every answer, we've watched the video, googled it, I don't know what to do! SO disappointed! My child has cried 10+ times because of this!
Ccted, Parent: Don't often recommend apps etc but feel that the set up with the emails, parent portal, the bookwork checks and videos work well.
Parent, Self employed: Really unhappy with this ap and hope the school will reconsider it, my son is really good at math and enjoys his lessons, since the introduction of this app my son dreads maths and the automatic homework he’s spending hours frustrated trying to get it correct and the videos are no help at all please bring back hegarty maths, this app denotivates students and my son has gone from enjoying maths to dreading it. This is not how it should be.
