Community Voice & Feedback
I paid for access to this app and they are removing it from me to go to a subscription model. This is such a ripoff and a disgrace. What a terrible company. Do not pay them. The quality is mediocre, I recommend any of their competitors.
I paid for the original app in full and am pretty frustrated to hear that it is now switching to a subscription model. The app is only giving 45 days notice (which they’re calling “providing this notice well in advance”) and a free trial.
I originally really enjoyed this app for gamifying reading for my son but this sudden switch up is really disappointing. So far there’s no offer to compensate in any way for the original purchase for full access. :(
I get the need for revenue and further funds to develop/support the game but they’re describing this as “a brand-new version of Teach Your Monster to Read.” Why not keep the original app as free access for the original users who have paid and then release a separate version 2 subscription model with the new features. Why is there the need to take away access to the original product that we’ve paid for? This is so deceptive.

My daughter loved this app however I cannot recommend anything from this developer any more. The paid version of the app will no longer be available and will be forcefully updated to a new version that will require a subscription to use going forward.
they're moving to a paid subscription model later this year and forcing this version of the app to (that we paid for) To no longer work. great business model.
Zero integrity from this company. If you paid already for permanent access to the app they are now switching to a subscription based model and making your existing purchase meaningless. They should offer people refunds since they’re not getting what they paid for!
I like monsters
Ever since I got this game 5 years ago I loved it and 5 years later i gave it a try again and it’s still just as good as I remember
Child with dyslexia, no problem
So I used to play this in pre k to 2nd grade and they stopped doing it but this was a fun game totally
I’m a teen and I still love this from when I was little it’s so entertaining and if I were a parent looking for kid friendly learning games I would put this on the list! Whoever made this game did a great job and ya so that’s it and I would love to hear from you.
