CC Connected Lite

I’m able to access information on my smartphone via the actual website just fine. What I really need is an app that my younger students can use to engage with Foundations memory work on their own. The old cycle apps did this and I’m very disappointed they’re no longer available. The only thing I’ve found useful in this new app is the timeline song in its entirety, but I have that already on my phone from buying the CDs. It’s also clunky to navigate. While I appreciate the intent of making C3 more accessible via mobile device, this misses the user friendly mark as well as the primary functionality mark. I’m glad this app was free because otherwise it would have been a waste of money for me.

This is not stick in the sand. I’m grateful for a much user friendlier way to access cc connected. It looks as if there should be a tab for children as well as parents, but there is not. My children loved the old app and it was their screen time. They could navigate it completely unassisted, but there is too much content for parents for them to weed through. Edit to add -I have found you can choose new grammar in a drop dow. But my kids are disappointed there is no visual like the old app and they hit download on accident and then are completely lost.

We’ve been getting the CC apps by cycle as we enter each cycle. I just downloaded the CC Connected app since it has all the audios and videos on it, hoping it would save me buying another CC app for $10. But wow, this app is HORRIBLE! The pictures it shows on here don’t seem to match the app. For instance one of the pics on here shows the times tables playing on the screen, just like on the regular cycle app. But there’s no video for the math section on the CC Connected app. Which is a big deal for my 5yo, because he really gets into watching the numbers as they pop up. The history songs also didn’t have the historical picture like the cycle apps do. Looks like I’m going to have to buy the Cycle 1 app for this year. Hopefully the CCC app isn’t finished being created yet, because I don’t find it very organized or easy to maneuver around in.
