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!

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.

Kinda mid.
November 26, 2023

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.

ITS WORSE
August 21, 2023

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.

Greedy
October 21, 2023

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.

Scam
January 23, 2022

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.

Fine
July 30, 2023

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 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.

Dont play this in your free time, i mean, its got good graphics but the story, the quests they suck and repeat.
If you dont get a membership, your're not good at the game. Members get everything. Matchmaking is unfair
For the battles with people. The battle system against monsters is, well, bad. There are at least 3 monsters per
Page and the fight you if you get within 3 feet of them

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.

ADDICTIVE SCAM!
May 20, 2022

This is a total scam. I've been trying to convince my kid for months to get off this thing - but it's incredibly addictive. Plus it is constantly pestering you to sign up - even though it is ridiculously overpriced. Not to mention that it loads slowly!

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 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.

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.

Do not give this company of your credit card information. They are complete fraud. They will keep charging you $75 and wont stop. They do not credit you back and say it's in their rules to keep charging. Stay away from this joke of a company!

Pretty good game
March 9, 2021

I used to play this game all the time. Prodigy helps kids remember math that they will need to know when they are older and/or grown up. The main complaint I have is the fact that you have to become a member to unlock half of the things on the game. I get that they have to make money, but it's like if I wanted to get a new house on the game with fake money, I would only have two choices, and both of them are small and annoying. There are also a few glitches, but I was never hacked or anything like that. I wouldn't recommend this game to kids in middle school and up; it's more set up for younger audiences.

Such a weirdo site in general. But whatever. Reoccurring fees all year long. Can't cancel subscription it's nearly impossible to find the buttons. I'm very tech Savy for being a mother. But dang. This site will give you the run around for as long as you let it. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!
