DO NOT BUY THIS APP. This company is a total scam. First of all the app content is not great. There are much better learning apps out there. Secondly, the cancellation process is ridiculous. I cancelled during my trial period and confirmed everything and assumed that was the end of it. Then three months later I notice I have been billed monthly despite cancelling. I go back into my account and I see that they have now added a clause saying that after canceling the subscription on their website you still have to go into the desktop (does not work on app) version of Paypal and go into your payments in settings to ALSO cancel there. Otherwise you will be billed despite cancelling. That's crazy. I don't understand how this is legal.

We try to make it as clear as possible that you will need to cancel your recurring payments with PayPal, we are sorry to hear we missed the mark this time!

I downloaded this like 5 seconds ago and I already have a complaint. I can't even make it past the loading screen. And why isn't this advertised as something you have to pay for, with the price next to it, like every other company that doesn't wish to trick its consumers? Because, it's NOT FREE. Tons of negitive comments, but I just wanted to try for myself. Cool idea, horribly executed. Should be free. Not even worth the download and delete. NO STARS!
