What parents say about Boddle
A summary of public parent feedback we read on forums, app stores and review sites. It is not a set of Edulist family reviews.
As of October 2026, Boddle's iPhone and iPad app holds a 4.5 out of 5 rating from about 12,000 App Store ratings. Teachers frequently post that students are highly engaged. Public reviews from kids mostly ask for more game features, and we found little detailed parent criticism beyond the usual concerns about game distraction and in-app purchases.

- Covers both math and reading
Common complaints
- Kids want more game content and customization

Is Boddle worth the price?
Boddle is free for kids and educators.
Can a scholarship pay for Boddle?
Because Boddle is free, most families don't need funding for it. A Premium subscription mostly adds game perks rather than learning content, so many families spend scholarship or ESA funds elsewhere. Each program decides what qualifies.
No program on Edulist lists Boddle yet. Save it to your wishlist and we’ll tell you when one does. Many state ESAs let families buy products like this directly; each program decides.
