3 months ago I signed up my kids for a new online educational course called Nicoland. The web site is nicoland.com. I thought I would post a quick review since I can find no reviews of it online. The web site itself is ok, maybe rather simplistic and limited in scope. A nice idea not implemented very well. The membership fees are reasonable (yes you have to pay to get access to the online lessons). My dd enjoyed it for a couple of days, but soon grew bored. It just did not seem to grab her attention. That might just be my dd .
It is not made clear when you join that they will continue to renew your membership and automatically debit your account.
To make matters worse, after they renew, they email you with a note saying you can cancel your subs via a link to their web site. Laughably, the link points to a completely French web site that is meaningless unless you are fluent in reading French (which I am not). Nicoland do not reply to your emails requesting clarification or cancellation .
So all in all a rather annoying experience. Be warned!
PS I finally used Babel Fish to translate the French web site and I think I have now escaped their evil clutches .
