What parents say about ABCya
A summary of public parent feedback we read on forums, app stores and review sites. It is not a set of Edulist family reviews.
Common Sense Media calls ABCya a solid source of free practice games sorted by grade, with no concerning content, but notes it is practice only, quality varies and ads appear on the free site. Kid reviews there are mostly unhappy about the shift toward subscriptions and reduced free access.
Common praise
- Hundreds of games organized by grade and subject
- Easy to understand, even for young kids
- Safe content
Common complaints
- Less free access than before
- Ads on the free site
- Uneven game quality
