Parent Cue App Reviews

The Parent Cue App is a fantastic compliment to the 252 Orange Curriculum. Each week there are new videos (including the Feature Presentation Story version of the Bible Story with Intro and Outro), activity ideas, discussion starters and music that reinforce the virtue taught in the 252 curriculum that week. There are podcasts and articles that are helpful, useful and encouraging for parents too. Even if you do not use the Orange Curriculum, the Parent Cue is a helpful resource for helping to impress virtues and a Christian worldview on your children. For only $2/year, I would definitely recommend it to all parents!

Perfect tool for connecting the church + home. This updated app really assists me as a family pastor to come alongside of the family and reinforce the churches role. Thank you Orange for being innovative.

I LOVE having access to the parent cue on my phone! It totally helps me be the involved parent I want to be and gives me amazing tools to do it competently. If I had one suggestion it would be to have access to the monthly memory verses. Our church runs a reward program and it would be very handy to have those at my fingertips all the time. But otherwise, I recommend to all parents!!

I love how when there is a lull in our busy lives (5 kids) I can check what the kids are learning in Sunday School and engage them in meaningful conversation throughout the week. We watch the videos together, pray together, have conversations about hospitality and Jesus with engaging activities. I especially love the parent cue (previously orange parent) blogs. They always seem to hit me where I am at.

While I love having our church curriculum at the drop of a hat, and I love having access to supplementing what my kids are learning at church, this app has been a serious problem for our house! My kids love to watch their "bible stories, memory verse and song" before nap & bedtime. They do not understand when the app doesnt get updated to the current months curriculum! We are at least a week into the new month and it is STILL not updated! This is extremely disappointing to children. I certainly hope our church isnt paying for this product! The customer service is NON existent! So frustrated and disappointed.

Bedtime, Drive Time, and bath time ideas that reinforce and keep the lessons we learn on Sunday ongoing through the week. Its a great help for me since I have minimal time to plan anything during the week. Try it out!!! Its work the $!

Does not ask me to activate push notifications. Does not appear in notification settings to adjust. App support in App Store not working.

App does not work at all... Freezes... Very sad cause old app was good

I was excited about the redesign but trying to use it has been a pain. I already *paid* for this app, so why am I now being asked to pay more? While I think the app was cheap to begin with (you couldve charged me 4.99 for all the benefits I got), now I feel Im getting gauged: the Cue Box at $12 bucks each month, the app subscription (I have an elementary-aged child and a preschooler) at another $4 a month.... are you kidding me? Please fix!!!!

Oh, I SO wanted to love this app- Ive been waiting a LONG time for the Preschool content. When I had the old app just on my iPod touch, it worked just fine. Then, the old app moved onto my iPhone and never sent the "push" notifications I really wanted. This "New", "Updated" version is even worse. No push notifications, and almost none of the content actually shows up. I chose the "Elementary" version because I have two kids in that age-range, but I also have a preschooler. I have TRIED to buy access to that content, but the "button" doesnt work. I press it and nothing happens- same for the monthly content. Although, I have to agree.......why are we now paying for what was free before? The idea that they are going to charge families monthly for the content sort of flies in the face of "we are here to partner with parents". I dont feel partnered with- I feel a bit taken advantage of. As a Childrens Ministry Director- between the problems with the app and the fact that we now have to pay for monthly content, I am no longer going to recommend this app. Its really disappointing too, because this could have been SO good- such a perfect tool in the hands of parents. I REALLY hope they correct al these issues and try again. The only positive thing I have to say is that the new, more colorful design looks GREAT. Too bad there is no content to make it worth looking at.

This app was recommended to me. Seeing only 2 stars made me raise my eyebrows. Paid money anyways but immediately regret it. Maybe its just this version, but the app only launches 5% of the time and has never worked correctly. Save your money and get with your church for curriculum.

We used to use this app regularly until the recent update. The set up is not as clean and user friendly as the previous one. Ive tried to subscribe by purchasing but the button never works. Also, the content is missing and unavailable the majority of times we try to access it. The recent update is so disappointing. We used to use this app daily as a family, wish they would not have revised it. We miss the old version.

Last update made this unusable. I really used to love this app. I emailed support and they said they were working on it but now its been more than a month. :(

Thanks for the latest update...works smoothly!

First, the crew at Orange/252Basics put out some amazing material that is in a class all its own for teaching and training kids and parents. This app is ok but not great. As a parent I need an app that is: 1) easier to navigate (for example there used to be a quick way to check the virtue and definition of the month. if theres a way to do it in this version I cant find it) 2) doesnt block or ignore the other great ways to access info on my phone (for example instead of subscribing to the podcast in iTunes I have to open the app to get to the podcast = hassle) 3) prompts me with a real que (for example how about using the push notifications to prompt me weekly to check the latest bible story or parent tip, or a monthly notify when the virtue changes) 4) works as desired (more often than not there are problems getting to videos to play)

We look at the Parent Cue every morning. It is great way to start our day. Thanks! Great way to partner with the church!

This is a poorly designed app. Content is often not there. Lot of quirks. No push notifications. The concept of this app has a great potential for being beneficial to parents. I recommend ReThink stop marketing it until it is a GREAT product. It doesnt match the quality of other material you make. Promoting this poor app makes it seem you guys are just in for sales, which I dont believe is true.

Would really like to have actual push notifications to "cue" us with reminders throughout the week! Name and description that allude that the app does this are a little misleading... Also seems to have more bugs now and can only get about 20% of the content to load. Please update - has the potential to be really good!!!

It worked the first 2 minutes, now its frozen. And it doesnt seem to want to go from screen to screen fast enough. Other friends say the same...

This app is stupid
