Foundations Memory Work C3

I bought this app reluctantly knowing it wouldn’t have the same functionality of the CC memory work CDs that I’ve used for over 10 years. My one BIG request if that there would be in update made to this app to reorganize the material into a weekly format, not just a subject format. The format of the memory work CDs had both formats: weekly & by subject. It seems a tremendous oversight not to duplicate those 2 options in the app! And if you make that fix, please add the Timeline song (in its entirety)! Mastery of these facts is hindered, not helped, by the clumsy design and organization of the material. The price for this app is high compared to the quality of function. I’ve never paid $10 for any app, except this one.

I’ll start by saying that, really, this has been a great resource overall. I saw complaints about price. It took me awhile to pull the trigger. But I finally reconciled that I have NO problems purchasing other resources for our schooling, and this is absolutely a tool. It keeps things simples on days when we just need basic. Graphics are beautiful, Weeks and Subjects are easy to access etc. HOWEVER - and yes this is a 2-Star issue!! Having to log in to CC Connected, and scroll down to the wee, and scroll down to the right link each week for Timeline can really put a wrench in things. The weeks are available on YouTube for heaven’s sake. Why would we who pay to have this resource not have available one of the most Foundational (pun intended) aspects of a CC education - THE TIMELINE SONG. I conclude that, even if it’s just by week, it’s really missing. Would I recommend this? Well… I mean, to myself. (For context I have 3 kiddos under 5, so we’re doing more listening than sitting/reading etc. Also, we’re in the go quite a bit.) Would I recommend it to others? Not necessarily. The lack of accompanying Timeline clips could be a deal breaker. If my kids were older it just might be for me.

This app is very helpful for our family. The biggest drawback is that is does not have the Timeline Song or the President’s Song on the app. That would really help me as a tutor and a mom.
