United StatesClassical Conversations® Foundations Memory Work Tutorials, Cycle 1 Strengthen your brain by memorizing quality content with art and song in a beautiful, interactive format in seven subject areas. Features include enhanced graphics and interactivity, Classical Conversations® Classical Acts & Facts Timeline, and U.S. presidents! Classical educators know the importance of memorizing the grammar—the basic facts and vocabulary—of a subject. Now you can memorize the foundational knowledge of seven topics in a fun, interactive iPad and iPhone application. In Cycle 1, Classical Conversations students memorize 161 events and people in the timeline, including the U.S. presidents; 24 history sentences from ancient and world history; 24 sites or features of Africa and world geography; 24 science questions and answers on biology and earth science; multiplication tables (1 through 15), squares, roots, cubes, and basic math laws and conversions; Latin noun endings; and English grammar rules. This app corresponds to the Foundations Curriculum, Fifth Edition, Second Printing released in 2021. Ancient and world history is presented in an interactive application with songs and artwork designed to make memorizing enjoyable. Now integrated with other Classical Conversations resources, each history sentence and science question points you to the corresponding Classical Acts & Facts® Card, handy flashcards for classical educators that will expand your memory work in depth and breadth. No matter your age, you can build a firm foundation of knowledge by memorizing these building blocks of education. Classical Conversations Foundations students, ages 4 through 12, have been using these tools in our online subscription service, CC Connected®. The iPad application offers these additional features: • Touch screen slides horizontally to reveal memory work by subject • Touch screen slides vertically to study each subject by week • Touch screen allows students to slide back and forth through the U.S. presidents • Navigates back and forth and home easily Classical Conversations® empowers homeschooling parents and establishes classical, Christian communities that equip children with a biblical worldview and the classical tools of learning in order to impact the world for God’s glory.

Would be 5 stars
Would be 5 stars if we had the full timeline and presidents song. The spoken word is boring and we generally skip them. Would love that updated!
United StatesNo Timeline Song, No Repeat Option
My husband is in tech development, so I know how hard it is! The features and items currently in this app work as they should, not glitchy, appears to have downloaded all content locally to my device, which in my case I prefer since I have the memory space and my internet connection is unreliable. For some people that could be a negative, if their device’s memory is already full. I hope the developers listen to the reviewers for future updates. Until then, I won’t purchase any more cycles. Some things parents would find indispensable: We need the timeline song, as so many have already pointed out. Specifically, the timeline song as a video that flips through pictures of the history cards. Make sure it’s timestamped, and we can move backward and forward, and have a continuous play (repeat) option. I have seen this resource in existence on a resource PC disk I once had, so the content is basically there, just needs to be added. Also, we need flexibility to create playlists, to play all the subjects from the same week on repeat, or to just repeat a single track. Also, most of us don’t want to listen to the talking/narration before the songs, so an option to turn that on or off. Most children memorize best with the music, and the narration only wastes our time trying to get to the song part. Along the lines of playlists, also a feature that keeps playing, so we can listen in the car to a whole subject at once, or one week after another, without needing to hit the “skip” button to move on. Keep up the good and difficult work—I look forward to these features being added in the future.
United StatesSucky ducky
Sucky…
United StatesSome annoyances
You should be able to skip the narration before the history songs, or even not have them at all. It’s annoying waiting for a boring narration before singing the song.
United StatesWhy can’t we filter by week?
Since the entire premise of CC is based on a WEEKLY system, the home page needs to have the information available by WEEKS. This shouldn’t be a revolutionary concept. So now I need to go into each individual subject and then scroll a ton of pages to get to the current week. How is this remotely helpful, at all? Ridiculous app.
United StatesWaste of money
All it does is read aloud the sentence. Complete waste of money. No songs like cycle 3
United StatesGood but not Great
Disappointed with what did not come with the app. For the hefty price of the app, you would think it would include everything but unfortunately it hardly includes any of the songs, the timeline section doesn’t even includes words (just pictures), and no Presidents.
