The Social Express II

So sad that this is the "replacement" for the Social Express app I purchased, which was then removed from the App Store. This "replacement" equals similar content, except you pay into eternity to be able to access what you once had for a one-time fee. Those of us who used our dollars to purchase the original app (and it was not a cheap app) should have been given a LIFETIME subscription, since the app was removed from the App Store with little warning, and no recourse. Please fix this situation, the content is decent but there is a bad taste in my mouth... Updated to make it one star instead of two. Your responses to people who purchased and loved this app before it became yet another subscription model are frankly rude. Gross.

Back in 2012 I purchased the full app for over $200 and when I needed to update and get a new generation iPad and redownload my apps I find this one has changed to a monthly subscription and I was not allowed the access to even the version I paid for in full. To say I’m irritated is an understatement. It was a good app for me as a speech pathologist and use with many kids but I can see how if only one child the short lessons would not be valuable enough to justify the cost. That being said, I did use the app often but also can not justify paying a monthly subscription for an app that does not add new content often especially when I already spent so much to purchase in the first place.

I can’t tell you how disappointed I am this company moved to a subscription model. Although it’s a great app, it’s just not worth the price of hundreds of dollars (possibly thousands if used for multiple years) that comes with a subscription. I think it’s shameful to be honest. Please don’t support this model. On top of that, the developers snarky responses to other reviewers doesn’t help their image.

I purchased this app several years ago for a lot of money. It stopped working due to lack of update. Now I can use only with a monthly fee? I was cheated out of my money. RIP OFF

I loved loved loved the original app. We used it extensively in addition to many other tools, and it was incredible. I’m just plain sad now.

I really felt like the original APP applied to so many students. I used it often and was surprised when it stopped working with the update. I could not figure out why when I had already purchased the app. I would purchase the new APP and understand that it has more stories/scenarios, but can’t do a monthly fee thru the school district. This monthly fee makes it difficult to access. I am so disappointed. You may be losing lots of purchasers due to the monthly fee.

Please update the orignal Social Express so it works again or add the lessons contained in the original app to the free content in the new app. I used the original Social Express for years with my students. I cannot afford your subscription plans for the new app.

I have had this app for years and used it frequently with my students. I now have to put in a user name and password which I never had to do in the past. To make matters worse they want subscription fees for the app now which has not changed much in the years that I have had it. This is disgraceful, especially since it is geared for kids with ASD!!!!!!

Can’t use app please update
