Hello!
We just started using it in Newington, and so far, the feedback has been mixed. The students do seem to enjoy it, but our district recently shifted to keeping elementary devices in school, which has made access more challenging (they can log in on a home device through ClassLink, but this setup has created some equity and access issues).
Based on what we’ve seen, the program seems best suited for middle school or upper elementary students. We’ve also experienced a few interface hiccups, but their customer service has been very responsive and helpful.
Happy to share more if it’s useful!
Best,
Jessi
