The videos are so helpful for Language Arts Level 3, but some days we can’t get them to load at all or every time we get that far, the app crashes and closes. Please fix this so we can complete the work that goes with each of the videos. They really help my daughter to understand the concepts and remember them, but they’re useless if we can’t watch them with the lesson.
This app has so much potential but it’s unreliable. The videos work great for us. However, the audio stops every time my phone goes to its lock screen. This makes it hard to walk away from my daughter and let her have a few minutes of independence. (Also have you get children who I’m attending to) Every few seconds I have to unlock it and some times it’s mid sentence and there is no way to rewind 15 seconds just to get the full sentence at once. It ends up being extremely frustrating and definitely changes the vibe of our homeschool atmosphere. I have emailed the company about this. Not sure if they care or not. Please at least make these audio narrations available on the computer so we can listen to them without several interruptions.
I love this app. I gave it 3 stars because when I installed it on my daughter’s chromebook the format was difficult to maneuver. You can’t access the video lessons through the app on a chromebook. If it be possible it would be nice to have an app or be able to on this app watch video lessons on a laptop or chromebook. It’s easier for kids to click on an app to watch all content then to go through a website especially when the website is all inclusive with shopping options etc. It would be nice to have an app specifically for the kids to use themselves for school. I am currently using this curriculum for my preschool and homeschooling a 6th, 3rd and 4th grader. Thanks so much and can’t wait to see what developers come up with.
I use iOS equipment and previously played videos will randomly start playing. Sometimes it just starts playing when I open the app or will start playing in the middle of something else playing. I had two tabs just open not both to play and they both started playing the previous lessons while the new one was playing so 3 videos were playing. Yes I deleted it and reinstalled. I love the video lessons since sometimes the kids listen if someone else says it, just wish the glitch didn’t happen and there were more videos for other grade levels. Love this curriculum so I will definitely still use it.
When we listen to the preschool songs the first time it plays through perfectly fine. If I watch another song it only plays sound for the first 3 seconds and then cuts out while the video keeps playing. So I have to rewind and start over every time and then the sound works. Tried deleting and reinstalling the app and the problem persists.
It’s good with they have but I really wish they knew what a pain it was to access answer keys on the website when needed in a pinch. Either include them with curriculum or make the accessibility easier on the app. Personally, I feel like they would do all of us a huge favor if they added them to the app. I know my day would go much smoother and faster without having to switch between different kids and their levels on the website.
Oh, how I love TGTB in every way! This app just puts it over the top! Such convenience to have everything in one place to quickly and easily access what I need. The videos are gorgeous and high quality. Having these extra resources for the lessons is exceptional. The app is organized well and it is easy to quickly find what I’m looking for. Thank you TGTB!
We use this often with the curriculum. It has its bugs but overall we don’t have much trouble. We can’t wait for more of the booster games to be added. They are a great way to learn the sounds and words. It also provides easy access to the videos we need for the curriculum. Thanks!
I love the app as a whole and I feel like the content really adds to the courses (I only use it for LA so far)…BUT I have to delete and reinstall the entire app every single time I use it in order to access the Level 3 content. Otherwise it only shows the Flip Through video. Super annoying, especially considering my 7yo has a short attention span! Otherwise, I love it and have found it very helpful.
Please fix this. New language arts 3 is wonderful but need convenient access to the videos please. Perhaps post them on the website if the app isn’t working. Thanks UPDATE: I was emailed a helpful response and provided information to help me with this issue and they assured me they are working on it. Thank you!
Lots of great resources in this app but also tons of potential. Would love to see all the add-ons and shopping removed, I think most of us already have the course books, especially since it asks for a login when you first download the app. Would love to be able to add courses to a dashboard so it’s right there when we open the app. Definitely could use some adjustments but grateful for the resources.
I love all the added benefits for K and can’t wait to see what all is added in the future! It would be great if it would recognize what you have purchased previously. Example: I purchased preschool: and all the preschool videos are there without having to use the password in the book.
We love this curriculum, but the app has not worked once for videos when we’ve needed it this year for language arts. In Level 3, there have been two lessons so far where we’ve needed to use the videos to complete it, and neither time has it worked. We are only on Lesson 6! If the app doesn’t get fixed, we’ll have to reassess continuing to purchase this curriculum.
My kiddos aren’t doing the new TGATB language arts (they’re using the old versions) but we still come to the app to practice spelling words & listen to audio books. It’s been working great, hasn’t crashed on me either. Cant wait to try the reading booster games when they come out!
LOVING the app, but can you please make it so it saves our login??? I access the app multiple times a day and have to login every time and enter in my password every time which is no fun. Other than that, can’t wait to see the rest of it release. Thank you so much!!!
We just bought third grade language arts curriculum and in many places it references the use of the app. We can log into the website but still have yet to log in to the app itself. The company doesn’t offer phone support at all. It was very frustrating to me and my student to need to use the app as we are making our way through the lessons but couldn’t access it. If the app is an integral part of the program it needs to work well. So frustrating!
The app has streamlined lessons for us. My daughter enjoys the independence of being able to watch a quick lesson while I go work with her brother. Excellent addition to the curriculum!! We are excited for the remaining games to load.
We are loving this app!!! Thank you TGTB!! But opening it for use during a lesson is awkward because we always have to re-enter the login, which creates a hiccup and can break the homeschool momentum. Please update so it has a “Keep me logged in” or “Remember me” feature.
I have an account with Good and Beautiful and after several attempts to include, changing my password, deleting and re downloading, trying to re-register, I cannot get into this app. I think there should be access to the content in a different format as an alternative to the glitches. For now I find other ways to fill in the content that supposed to accompany the lessons.
My son loves everything so far! It needs an update to save login information, and the reading booster app games are unavailable though the app says they’d be available in August 2022.
The actual curriculum is good my kids are learning better and grasping what they are learning but the actual app is lagging. When my daughter was listening to the audiobook every time my phone would go off the book would turn off. And the videos are laggy. Great curriculum but the app’s quality is off
Usually when things cost in the app, it says as such prior to download. I downloaded, as this looked to be a FREE homeschool resource. It required ALL my information (including my address and phone number) before letting me know it would be entirely unusable unless you pay $30-$50 for EACH SUBJECT. While I understand the need to make money in your business, be clear and concise with this. Stop data mining individuals. It’s disgusting.
I’ve tried updating my phone, restarting It, deleting the app and re-downloading it but nothing will work. I have an iPhone 12 mini. but what makes me confused is there are other people I know and it works great. so that’s why I give it a three star review instead of one star.
I really want to like this app. I have used TGTB curriculum for years and am currently trying to go through ELA level 3 with my child and the level 3 portion of the app does not work consistently. It’s great that it’s free because it works when it wants to because if I paid for this app it would be awful.
I’m supposed to be able to sign in to the app with my g&b account…except no matter how many times I do this, it tells my login in fails. I go to the website and I can sign in just fine there. There is no customer service to help with this. Also certain lessons in the book require my child watch videos on this app or get help with letter sounds etc. and they can’t.
Love the app, hate all the glitches. If I have to reset my password, it locks me out for days. Have to delete and reinstall constantly. Interrupts our homeschool days constantly, I’ve grown to dread when the book says to use the app because it ends up wasting our time with tech issues.
I’ve tried multiple times to start an account(using different emails)but anytime I try to log in with the password I created it tells me my password is wrong. When I attempt to create a new password, it brings me right back to my login account asking for my current password. It’s impossible to even get into the app
So far I’ve had to reinstall the app on my phone several times because it stops showing parts of level 3 language arts. On my iPad the app doesn’t show the videos, we’ve had to switch to using the phone only. I hope this will be fixed soon.
Love the app. It’s easier to use than the actual website (which I know the binder does say to use). Can you please add the ABC alphabet song to the app as well?
I have tried no less than 20 times to login and it keeps saying living failed. I even went so far as to go to the main TGTB website to change my password so I could be 1000% sure I knew it and still can’t log in to this app. Done trying at this point, it’s not worth the effort. 🤷🏻♀️
I really like the concept of this app but to get to one video to the next is very difficult for children to do on their own. You have to double click and exit out of a few boxes etc. I wish it was set up in a way that was more user friendly.
The language arts book tells you to click on the videos in the app. After I finally figure out logging-in issue the videos don’t work. I click on the link and nothing happens. It’s very frustrating when you can’t use the program as it’s intended.
The curriculum is great. The app is terrible. We’re on level 3 Language Arts and the curriculum says to go to the app and the app is empty for level 3. It only has the flip through video. Don’t buy this curriculum thinking it has any app support because there isn’t any.
I have tried to register but I tells me my email is already in use even though it isn’t. I tried three different email address and it kept telling me that it was already use so I gave up and deleted it.
