codeSpark by BeginReviews of codespark.com

Ever since Apple changed the Sign in with Apple process, my son has been unable to access his codeSpark account. We paid for a full year but were only able to use the app for a couple of months. I contacted codeSpark for help, but received no meaningful support or resolution. Their App Store replies telling customers to “contact support” feel pointless when support does not actually address the problem. It is especially frustrating to pay for a service that we cannot access through no fault of our own. Based on our experience, I cannot recommend codeSpark. Avoid subscribing unless you are willing to risk paying for a service you may not be able to use.

the app's age rating is really bad because why 5-10 according to begin(the company that created codespark) it looks like a 3 year old app

Got to sign in every time!! Not good for disabled user. Now on lap top its a joke, was better on tablet dont rate at all guys

I have just been charged a few days ago, even though I cancelled my subscription more than 2 years ago!!!! Now I'm talking with my bank how to handle it because I found out online that they are notorious for these charges. UPDATE: Turns out they've been charging me for the past 3 years every December since 2023! I cancelled on Apple Sep 2023. My fault for missing them. They only refunded this year because it's still within the 30 day period. BEWARE!!!

Very difficult to cancel. Still being billed 15usd a month after "canceling" on their app

The gameplay, and coding activities are fun but... *You can not demo or model this game as a teacher if you signed in through Clever (they won't even give me another account to sign in so I can play it even though I have paid for a subscription already.) It is hard for kids to scroll down to basic levels as there is no scroll bar, so if you are using laptops, PCs, or Chromebooks, it is very hard for little kids to do it. It often kicks kids out after they finish level 8, afterwhich, they need to go back to the homepage, scroll down to the level they were on, click on it so that level 9 shows up. “Game stuff" should be at the bottom and the coding levels should be at the top. Some of the answers they provide on their guide (Kite Plight) are WRONG. There should be an arrow so students can easily switch screens between levels 1-8 then to 9-16 (or 17) There are often problems going back to a page and there is an error. You have to reopen it, log out, then open it again to log back in, very frustrating. After contacting them, they don't seem to be too interested in fixing anything.

Parents beware - these guys refuse to cancel subscriptions and dont answer any support emails. I have begged to cancel and will call my credit card company and file a complaint and with the Better Business Bureau.

They renewed my subscription without my approval (I had cancelled before the renewal date) and refuse to refund it. They blamed it on Apple, but I have documents from Apple that it was not charged through them! DO NOT GET THIS APP! Now I have to worry that they will do it again next year!
