We have a paid subscription at school - and can no longer access most of the content. It's frustrating - because I feel we have paid for a couple of years, and I can no longer access content I used to be able to see. I am a teacher in Sydney, Australia. Croydon Public School

Games🐛 Bug@untherapy09 · 16d ago
I'm stuck in a never-ending sign-in loop. I am successfully signing in, but it never registers on the games page, so I can't access past level 2. It seems like the standard videos page understands that I am logged in (I can see the mini profile picture), but the menu page with the options for videos/compose/games/etc doesn't register that I'm signed in. Maybe there is an issue with the cookie? This is on Chrome on an Android mobile device.

Something has caused the state government of Queensland Australia to block your website. I can no longer access your site from school and I will have to cancel my subscription. I just wanted to let you know in case you were not aware of the blockages.

Woa that's not good. Thanks for the heads up. Do you have a screenshot of this? I wonder if it's on the new games site or the compose tool or all the sites?
Games🐛 Bug@ale1_carrillo · 22d ago
Hello Prodigies! We are so excited to make the games part of our music class. The first time we played, I thought it was a great idea to have the note play with every press of button, for example with Bell Run.
However, it looks like none of the games are really making a sound, not even the ear training games.
Hope it gets fixed because it's a fun way to keep ear training but through play.
Thank you.
Prodigies team · @mr_rob
Where are you using them that they don't get any sound (iPad, laptop etc)? There was a mute switch option for a bit but i just removed that - check the mute switch wasn't on.
But there SHOULD be sound - that'd be weird if none of them are making sound at all

I had a good try today, but I couldnt save it or publish it anywhere, when I tried to publish it, it went blank again.

Working on this - I'll keep you posted - thanks for the heads up!
Compose💡 Idea@mr_nic · 25d ago
The interface is all over the place. cant click on things and settings for compose tool are in a strange place! Not saving unless you publish? Doesn't make any sense. The "feedback" button is inhibiting me from clicking settings.. Can't input notes by keyboard... Deletes project if accidentally click on something also. Completely dysfunctional. So much potential. Lets go!
Prodigies team · @mr_rob
I fixed the feedback button - just ran into that too sorry I missed it. Was a hectic week getting my girls back to school.
Can't input notes by keyboard -- computer keyboard or MIDI keyboard?
Compose🐛 Bug@beatzblockz · 25d ago
Mr Rob it appears the settings tab is gone in the compose section.

Something else💡 Idea@renee_roberts · yesterday
Hi!
I am a general music teacher in Santa Cruz County. I've used the K-5 curriculum for a while now. I LOVE the guided rhythm of the week & guided desk bells! I can observe and grade while the students follow the video instruction.
However, I wish I could embed the videos into my slides. It's clunky navigating from my Google Slides to Prodigies. Moreover the interface within the curriculm is clunky at best. I can't merely click through a week's lessons. For example, if I want to use K Week 5s lessons, I start with the Rhythm of the Week, then back out, scroll back to week 5 (hopefully the scroll tool is responding) and I then I finally can select the next video. It eats into my precious music minutes with my students.
Again, I wish I could just embed the videos into the google slides. Even using the link merely takes me to the curriculum page, not the specific video I was trying to include.
Hope there's a fix here. Thanks for all you do for music education!
In harmony,
Mrs. R

Play Videos✏️ Change@emma · 12d ago
I wish the playlists weren’t so full of the performance videos. Sometimes my daughter likes to watch these as entertainment, but the performance videos really lose her interest quickly and make her frustrated. She’s much more interested in the videos with a person singing and signing. It would be nice to see the performance videos in a separate section. Or have devoted playlists that don’t include these. I tried to kind of manually do this with the “favorite videos”, but for me the favorited video playlists don’t automatically play from one to the next, instead they shoot you to whatever original playlist that the favorited video was originally pulled from.
Something else🐛 Bug@emma · 12d ago
I’m having issues with the sign in. Sometimes I sign in and it acts like I didn’t sign in (on the browser). Also, now it’s telling me my video playback is locked because “I have too many devices signed in” but when I go look into my devices, it’s just the same 2 devices signed in over and over. It’s counting different sessions as different devices. I am very excited about the new games, I will say. I’ve been desperately wanting something like this from you for a long time!! But I think is messing with my device count because it’s acting like the browser. Logins are separate from the app logins. I would love to see the games in the app.

Mr. Rob, cann you please add the bells heads on the notes, please? Thank you!

Prodigies team · @mr_rob
Hey Seun - can you describe what you mean a bit? There is a setting for Bell note heads instead of note heads but it's really just for easier songs right now? Are you thinking we should do bell note heads for harder songs as well?
Prodigies team · @mr_rob
Seun - I made it possible to turn the bell faces on in both composition modes.
If you want to update a current song of yours, click edit and then from the menu pick the noteheads > bells options!!

phones are gonna be tricky for something like this but the ipad just got a big update. and hopefully that safari bug is worked out for the sound. gonna keep testing on my ipad this afternoon

no whole or half notes?

you should be able to drag notes out to half and whole notes -- need to hover around the edge and then a little yellow pair of arrows shows up and you can drag them. Let me know what device etc so i can help iron this out - Rob

Not sure if I'm doing this wrong, but when I added a dotted crochet, I couldn't figure out how to make the following note a quaver. It appeared a crochet and didn't quite fit correctly.

I've found the "clear all notes" but it doesn't also clear the chords. It would be nice to just have a completely clean sheet.

So excited... yet not sure I am doing it right. I can't get it to work on my iPad, and even on my laptop (which is new and up to date) it seems to have a lag in the playback mode? Not sure what I am doing wrong, or if maybe there are just a lot of people trying to use it all at the same time. Once we get it figured out it will me amazing! My girls have tried to write on paper their own songs... so this will be such a nice up grade and encourage them along.

Can’t syncopate an eighth tied to a quarter over the bar line. Dragging doesn’t allow enough control, as it places notes in random places rather than desired place.
