“Way better than ST Math =D (Prodigy is amazing)”

Micah P.
5/11/23

I am a 5th grade student who has loved Prodigy since kindergarten and it has changed a lot but it is as lovable as always. It actually taught me stuff unlike other math sites, It's fun, it has a story-line, you can play with friends, you can work out your problems on screen with a drawing tool and more good stuff. The game recently got a reading mode and it's alright but i just love prodigy! -Signed a entertained student

“Kinda mid.”

Marcus A.
11/26/23

Kinda mid. The gameplay is pretty good but overall it's not all too good. From only playing like 5 hours total you basically do all you can do, and there aren't even that many pets in the game. Not to mention you can't even get all of them with out paying a subscription. Overall, if you just want too have fun for a couple hours and you don't know what to do, then you can play this game, but don't get too attached because trust your only playing like 2 times until it's unenjoyable.

PAY TO WIN, DON'T BUY. This game is garbage cause you can't get anything without being a member and its not fun when you don't pay a high price.

BEWARE that if you sign up to this product you do not accept recurring fees extracted from your bank account. A one month paid trial experience could ultimately cost you very dearly. They have set this site up so it is very difficult to access one time payment. SO BEWARE. I have had multiple payments taken from my account without my knowledge. Also the fact that is almost impossible to contact these people after you sign up shows that their only interested in your money and not worrying about any issues relating to there service. I have tried many times but with no success.

It is SO expensive. I was one of 4 kids who hated Prodigy in my class. Basically it's all anyone played. It's just ADDICTING. Don't get me started that they copied 2 games and made them worse. It never actually forces you to learn math. It puts selling their stupid membership above any actually learning. You go into Prodigy thinking you will learn some math, but nope. Instead you're playing a corny weird game about killing animals or putting them in captivity for eternity. I never want to play this garbage again. Parents, DO. NOT. BUY.

They will autocharge you without ANY notice and don't do any refunds. A complete scam! Even when you try to cancel on the same day you're charged. STAY AWAY

Tip for consumers:
Stay away from a paid subscription. It's a TOTAL SCAM!!

To be completely honest, this game sucks. I remember in 2018-2021 this game was perfectly fine, but let's get to why it's so bad;

First off, the MEMBERSHIP. The worst thing in the game. It used to be just an add-on for people who wanted extra clothes and hair, but now everything needs a membership. Every item and thing overall requires a membership or some payment. These people are money hungry for a game that isn't even GOOD, which brings me to my second reason.

My second and last reason is how horrible they made the graphics. I don't know if it's because of the recent simplicity in logos and titles, or if it's because Prodigy developers hate their job and lives. It is probably the first reason, though. The game looks like it was designed by a fetus that just came out of the womb and is randomly typing a script to Prodigy. I know I seem as if I'm insulting Prodigy, but all of these statements are true. Please just bring back the pixels.

Thank you for reading over this, and if you can, please share this with a prodigy developer.

Its a light-hearted game where you fight monsters to "help" defeat the boss called "puppet master" and you can upgrade your stuff. Its quite laggy though.

I was signed up for automatic yearly renewal of 161 dollars. My kids have not played the game for ever and when I asked for refund they just keep finding excuses. Their phone doesn't work, email comes back with shady answers and when I disputed credit card prodigy refused card company to give back the money. But they do tell me to get it from my credit card. Must be a business run from somewhere in Asia.

The old avatars in prodigy looked so much better than the new ones. It might just be my opinion, but I have also seen other online posts about how others prefer the old skins too. The old looks gave me so much nostalgia, but now? It just looks weird. Please change the skins/avatars back!

I used to love playing this game it was so exciting but now it's just so horrible. First of all the graphics suck I don't know what made them think that it was okay to make the characters look like that. Second, I hate the way they made the battles I honestly don't even know what attack I'm using anymore. And Lastly, I don't know what possessed them to add reading to the game like it just ruined the whole vibe prodigy it is supposed to be a math game and they just all together ruined it.

This is an absolute trash game. I remember being introduced to this in 3rd grade in 2019. Membership was only for aesthetics. Now it's shoving it in your face every few minutes and after every single battle. They also changed the designs, which are hella ugly now. For example, the Neeks. They were a little scary to 8-year-old me, but they were still cute and interesting. Now the design is just a baby rolled up. Dreamlet used to be so cool with its rainbow wings and lizard-like body. Now it's a rat with wings. Not even the same animal classification. Now all the cool-looking designs are fat sprites. And how come I have to be a member to get more pets? Absolutely trash.

I LOVE prodigy so much and i've been playing since I was in 2nd grade! Abigail Gearleader is my wizard's name. It contains wizards and battling but the battling isn't bad. When you defeat a monster (They are cute monsters) they just run away. The only advertisement is a membership. It pushes way to hard! You can only rescue 10 pets and you can't buy, wear, or use specific things. But overall... I THINK ITS GREAT!

Prodigy USED to be fun. Honestly, now all there is is just membership ads at every corner. Then, IF you buy it, it asks you to buy Level Up or Ultimate. Then vs now, Then is an obvious win.

Tip for consumers:
hack the freaking membership. Its quite easy actually.

I love prodigy but the membership is a bunch of junk because it is everywhere you look you can't even wear clothes anymore without an ad. Plus the new thing where you have to be a certain level to wear something is the dumbest thing I have ever heard for just a MATH GAME. I worked so hard to get the puppet masters outfit just for it to say " Be at level 90 to wear'.

I was so exited to play prodigy today, but one thing that they changed was unforgivable they changed the look and the battle. I would give 0 stars if possible this game is so boring now. Don't bother playing the game at all anymore.

It is okay but you can't get anything without a membership and if you do get a membership you are so overpowered it is too easy. Not only that Old Prodigy so good you could catch pets without a membership, but the textures were so good and you couldn't even catch the old pets anymore Peeko was the cutest thing, and if you didn't play in 2017 too bad you couldn't get him anymore, the old things were just so good like the old battle meter and feeding your pets in battle to restore hp and now the puppet master (the main villain) was so cool and now he looks FAT dont the old pics look so nostalgiac, Prodigy, if your are seeing this BRING BACK OLD PRODIGY!

I got a $74.95 charge on my charge card for a one year renewal (it's automatic). I went on their website to cancel. Beware that if you cancel your membership you have to "expressly request a refund" or you won't get one. The problem is they don't tell you how to request a refund on their website, nor have a telephone number to call and talk to someone with customer service to find out. They have a place on their website that says "Submit a Request". I submitted my request for a refund that way. Frustrating to say the least. They're trying to make it difficult for someone to get a refund.

This website is so bad, it used to be so good and I used to have so much fun playing it.
First of all, after the updates to the characters and battles, everything has just gone downhill. The characters look so stupid and babyish now, and in the battles you can miss without answering a question wrong. Also,
Next, EVERY SINGLE GODDAMN THING about Prodigy is now centred around Memberships.
1. Special clothes/wands - I try to get these and it gives me an ad saying "Members get cool stuff!"
2. Pets and epics - I am not allowed to evolve or rescue pets. When I first started the game, I got lots of crappy earth pets and if I had known that there was a limit... also it isn't fair that the members get all of the cool epics and the non-members can't
3. Chests - I know that anyone can get chests, but even then, I get member-only things inside them. It comes up with a message saying "You got a new outfit! Would you like to try it on?" And then I get an ad when I click yes (who would have thought?)
4. Members also get more "stars". Pretty much every member I've seen has been on level 100 when I've been playing for 3 years and am only on level 85! Members get to go around wearing the special member badges in front of the kids whose parents genuinely can't or have better things to spend their money on then Prodigy.
5. And the list goes on and on and on - don't even get me started on potions, the Dark Tower, and houses
Also, I can't go five seconds without getting more ads.
Thirdly, I'm in grade 7 and my brother (who also does Prodigy) is in grade 4. Both of us are getting YEAR 1 AND 2 WORK. It is so easy and I keep getting the same questions OVER AND OVER. Prodigy seems to put more work into promotion of membership than it does actual maths. It's more like a movie than a maths program.
Overall, would not recommend Prodigy unless you want to be bored to death and would sue it if I could.
