THE BEST educational app for kids! Worth the price, will actually teach your kid(s) while also keeping them entertained. You need to guide them a bit, but it's fun to do if you have the patience w/ your kids. Don't hesitate, buy a subscription! You wont regret it! No pesky ads, not even in the free version! If I could give a better rating than 5 I would. I bought the subscription thru Google Play bc I couldn't afford the yearly one rn, but the yearly is way cheaper. Will buy a yearly one asap!

Brilliant for non literate ESL adult learners as it's so easy to use - no clutter of instructions - just very clear blinking arrows, or similar on screen. My literate students love it too as they can go to the more advanced material and they enjoy the stories and learn lots of vocabulary. Thank you!

I used to play this game in school as a pre-kindergartener and a kindergartener. I stumbled across this again, 12 years later, and remember all the good times. I remember brushing my dolls hair while reading one of the folktales, playing the hippo math game, and it's just very nostalgic now. I miss this and I think schools should bring starfall back for students to play and have a blast like I did and then years later have that sad but happy feeling years later.

I started on the Starfall website when my daughter was just shy of four, to work on her fine motor skills. She loved it, her next sister loved it, then her brother... I wasn't sure he paid attention to it at all. He played the games, especially the word builder machine, but it was like pulling teeth to get him to do letter practice or sound things out in public. (or numbers, or colors, or....) Well, when he was nearly five, I walked past his room and heard him "reading" a Garfield comic. I politely asked my husband when he'd started doing Garfield books as the bedtime story. He looked confused and said he never had done such. ...the toot had taught himself to read from watching his sisters, and from playing the word-forming game. We're a really booky family, we read for FUN, and that was pretty dang impressive.

The subscription is affordble. Its very user friendly for kids. My kids have been using this app for years at home and at school. They love it! For them its a treat to be able to play. It's geared mainly toward Pre-K through 1st grade but they just recently added more content for 2nd and 3rd grade.

We love this program! Thoroughly covers reading and math from pre-k level up to elementary. There is also some science and music and educational games mixed in. We are using it for our 4 year old in conjunction with work books and flash cards. I can't say enough good things about Starfall!

I just wanted to write this rating to say how thankful I am for the creators of this app. This app perfectly teaches the material necessary for the grade levels listed. I had no problems with this app, in comparison to other apps like iready, for example. If you are looking for the perfect app for an elementary school student, before putting this one down, please try it out.

basic free game gives you a taste of it. i buy it because it unlocks everything and i can add to the grandparents phone when they are with them in offices bored. my 3 almost 4 loves it and he loves the music. its worth getting. Wi-Fi is making sure its correct and if still maybe update or phone needs updated. i really hope you give this a chance and spend the money sure its $35 but come on people for the whole year!!

I was looking for an educational app for the 4yr old and the teens all said Starfall. I'm having trouble finding out how much it costs to get full access however she uses it everyday. I'm going to get the full app as soon as I can figure out, in the app, how much it costs. I enjoy that it is a smidgen above grade level so she can stretch and grow!

My daughter didn't use this app before the age of 4 much... However I kept it available and as soon as she started learning the ABC's and reading sight words in preschool... She fell in love with this app at home! Throughout her kindergarten year this was her go-to favorite "game" along with Kiddopia. She is excelling in all school subjects. Thank you Starfall creators: you've made learning fun for my daughter and I attribute her enjoyment of learning to Starfall's awesome content!

We've used starfall for about 5 years now. My daughter learned to read using this program and she still uses it, thanks to the extra grades added, as extra study in our homeschool. My preschooler is using it along with our homeschool studies and loves to sing along with the vowel songs. Hopefully he'll be reading soon too. This is such an excellent program. I love the convenience of the app, but love that I can print worksheets to go along with what we're focusing on as well. Thank you Starfall!

I have used Starfall in the classroom for years! I love it and best of all...the students love it! It's very easy to use. I always recommend Starfall to parents at home (especially those struggling academically). I have paid $35 for years & it has NEVER gone up & that is cheap compared to other learning apps! I have used it at home with my kids since they were toddlers & they still love it! (Now 5 & 7 yrs)

If you're like me and also homeschooling during the pandemic & you're on the fence, this is your sign: Get the membership. It is affordable and worth every penny. We love Starfall! The material isn't too easy, but it's also not more advanced than my daughter... so she is able to use it on her own if I need to step away for any reason. With other apps she either wasn't being challenged whatsoever, or she would get frustrated because she couldn't do it on her own.

Wonderful App with lots to do.it is user-friendly, my children can navigate it themselves without help. Information ranges from preschool up to third grade. Instrumental in teaching my children to read. 2022 update: they've added a 4th and fifth grade section, which I am grateful for. It is not as challenging for my 5th grader as I had hoped, and it has a few small glitches still that I'm sure they will iron out with time. So glad they expanded into the higher grade levels!

This review is not about the teaching of the app. But about the app in general. I subscribed on my phone, and we tried to log in on my son's, but we aren't unable to do so.

When my kids were about 6 or7 yes old they loved starfall and thought it wad a great game. But,in the last few years it's really taken a downfall.The game just needs a huge update.If you get on it nowadays, it glitches all the time and when you listen to music on it, it sounds super sketchy. In the last couple months starfall added a 4th and 5th grade section for English and math. My kids now want learn about science and astronomy. If starfall added something like that my kids would love it!!!

If you (the parent) purchase the Android version, your kid cannot use it on their device application. They aren't transparent with this information and do not issue refunds. Horribly designed purchase process that seems deliberately designed to force you to an annual subscription. ==EDIT== They give a word-vomit reply blaming Google. Netflix is a subscription service but it isn't locked down to one single device. So many other subscriptions are not this DRM crazy. It's a choice, not an accident.
