Comments on PenPal Schools - Global Educat for Android
★★★★★
This is a wonderful learning app! My kid connects with penpals around the world to practice reading and writing, and it gives us all something really neat to tall about at the dinner table.
★★★★★
Ooohhhhhhhhoooohhh
★★☆☆☆
I even saw and read the 1 star reviews and though it would be ok to pay a bit for the service. But after registering it was not clear what is available and the payment info is not showing up in my google payment profiles or paypal profiles. Went vanishing. Very shady app. I will have to monitor over the next 2-3 weeks to see what gimmick they are upto.. hate it. Save yourself some time. Steer away.
★★☆☆☆
Only works if your child is in an actual school, no option for Homeschooling parents.
★★☆☆☆
Tried it for homeschooling three children. Convoluted interface, not a user friendly design. Hidden subscriptions. Platform is NOT upfront about subscriptions and waits until you attempt to enrol a student in a course to hit you with the subcription wall. Claims to be global yet focuses certain subjects on USA concerns many other countries don't care about. Don't waste your time. Would not recommend.
