I have an issue that I can't find the answer to for one of their baby monitors I have of theirs. It's a security issue with the camera. Well they made it so hard to try and get a hold of them that I can't. You can't call them, you will be forced to submit info off of the sticker on the unit that my child has destroyed so that's a no go. If you try 0 2 times you'll get hung up on. Good going companies, ha f up on your customers and find out how we will never buy from you again! Then just try to email them, you can't! They make you fill out an online form but want you to drop your online security protocols to be able to fill out the form! That's not going to happen. Since when do companies think that no helping customers is a good idea and who the hell in your company said hanging up on your customers is a good idea. I'd like to have head that board meeting to approve hanging up on your customers. So since you don't give a crap about me you'll never see a dollar from me again!

I found a site much better than this one.
February 25, 2023

This site didn't impress me. It's boring here, and the kids aren't having fun. There are other sites better than this. I found a website https://wunderkiddy.com/material/autumn-nature. Here are collected bright and colorful puzzles on the theme of autumn nature for children, which they will really like! It is both fun and useful for children here!

Buggy and Unreliable
November 15, 2022

UPDATE: if the troubleshooting had mentioned restarting computer at the beginning it might have alleviated a lot of trouble! After "battery not enough to donwload safely" message, and knowing it wasn't the batteries I went about RESETTing and getting the red and amber blinking light. Still to no avail. Then for to last step of troubleshooting and after restarting, Whala! It all works! I had given 2 stars but updating to 4.

ORIGINAL: I'll have to say this has been a irritating experience. After quite a bit of trouble setting it up the first time and writing notes on how to do this, literally not using the power cord it came with, as that one would not work, the thing now says batteries are too low to update for downloading the books. These are books I'm oprettysyre we downloaded when we first got them. I've tried 3 new sets of batteries from different packages and still says there's not enough. Maybe I will try to find the original white power cord. Not fun. The activities aren't in sequence to how kids learn so you have to jump around, and the activities can be non intuitive, well if you like surprises then this might be for you :)

China
January 22, 2022

Why do you have China making your globes? They are made behind Chinese law. That makes them made in prejudice and teaching our kids the wrong views of the world. Please fix this problem or loose business.
Thank you

Downloaded the program. They said a plug-in was needed. Couldn't fine a plug-in except one I could pay for on Amazon. Called technical support. They sent me instructions by e-mail as to how to download it again. It still doesn't work. They did say to call back after that. So I guess they expected it wouldn't work. Been on this or 5 hours with no success. It said Windows defender wouldn't allow the program in. I turned off the firewall and downloaded the program. It still doesn't work.

Sensitive Features
January 19, 2021

The concept of this book is great, however, the touch feature is incredibly sensitive and you must gently touch the picture or the book will recite pictures from previous pages.

Irreparable electronics
August 22, 2020

I accidentally broke the prongs in the charging port on my son's tablet. The company says they can't fix it, it isn't covered under warranty, and I must take it to a 3rd party repair store. Problem is there are no spare parts available for this tablet so its unfixable. I wasted money on both the tablet and repair fees, and all because of a fragile part.
Leapfrog won't even work with me on a discount towards another tablet.
The hardware and software are okay but I can get the same from a Kindle with better customer service. They lost my loyalty.

Leappad Ultimate
September 9, 2019

I wish I had never bought a Leap pad Ultimate for my kids. I have bought a total of 4 and they replaced 5 because the touch screens just stop working. I just spoke with the manager who offered no more replacements and told me that it is uncommon for this problem and that basically my kids were destroying them. My kids use them in bed appropriately. I even sent one back that wasn't working anymore. I will never buy them again. Do NOT waste your money!

Your Website Sucks!
October 12, 2018

Your website is absolutely atrocious!
Why would you give instructions through support page to recover 4 digit password when you follow those instructions, go to 'my account' & it just keeps sending you in circles and is of no help!...?
Horrible!

Was never too impressed

Just average, breaks too easily for age appropriate electronics. Needs an upgrade in graphics and material used.

Ruined my son's Christmas
April 24, 2016

Leapfrog has the worst customer service ever. They sent me two duds after my son's leappad ultra xdi had a distorted screen. They made me pay shipping to send the last dud back. I will never buy another leapfrog product. Do yourself a favor, buy a Kindle instead. Also, don't pay attention to the reviews on the leapfrog site as they delete any reviews they don't like.

I'm kinda torn here.
April 6, 2016

The leapfrog experience started for us in 2002 when I bought their plug and play gaming system. It was high in price but low in quality, no customer service and no help. Recently I've purchased two more of their products. Both were the leappad 2. The pink one worked just fine straight out of the box but the green one had a cracked screen probably from being mishandled at the warehouse. The crack was internal so we couldn't see it until somebody touched it with a stylus and it broke like ice, underneath the screen. They told me to go to a store to return it but the store wouldn't take it so I had to send photos and details to leappad at which point they sent me a shiping receipt to send it back to them. About three weeks after Christmas the new one showed up, but nobody was playing with it since his sister got one and he "didn't". We called the green one "the grinch" and sold it (having already bought him something else).

Customer service was terrible, rude, and acted like everything was my fault. I had to send back the unit so they could "determine" if I qualified fora refund, AND I'm pretty sure I know why it was so cruddy in the first place if they're just upcycling the parts from old sent-back units to create new ones!

They're sort of old fashioned anyway since there are so many apps for kids on the computer an diphone now.

Last year I bought all my grandkids the leappad, they can play online with child security they can email gma gpa or their friends. TAKE PICTURES AND VIDEOS they have a blast with these and helps them prepare for kindergarten. Better than using you cell phone for games that are questionable
