My students LOVE Prodigy

Ask your child: "How does this make you feel when you win prizes in this game? How do you feel when you see your friends' loot? How do you feel after you play this?" The in-game advertising uses manipulative techniques to "up-sell" subscriptions and promote non-educational content. This is directed at children in lower grades who are not capable of evaluating these techniques or defending themselves. Most parents do not have the time to monitor and limit this kind of software and its malevolent effects.

This game is absolutely ridiculous and doesn't teach anything. This game is also pushing REAL LIFE CURRENCY memberships. and the game is completely scrambled. This is a mistake to assign your children/students to this Un educational game.

It is very basic and does have some advantages as a way to get your child / student to do something meaningful that can be tracked while “playing” on a device. However, I would not recommend this company, it has been a nightmare to cancel the membership that has not been used since January 2020. Countless attempts and the 74.95 charge shows up twice a year on my card. It’s absurd I spend time and effort to get cancel and get a refund …then a few months later it’s back on my Amex.
