Brilliant storytelling. Wish app was better

These original stories are amazing and my family has listened for years. Incredible talent on display here and well worth the monthly subscription for us. So many beloved characters. Agree with others that the app is frustrating, slow and some features don't work. Hope there's an update before my kids are grown.

LOVE the stories, hate the app.

This is the only audio app on my phone that will not stream to google/fire stick/any other devices unless I plug in my phone or Bluetooth it in the car. The stories are why we remain subscribers- but for $15 a month you’d think they’d figure out a way to stream audio other than being told they’ll eventually make an Android app that will connect to google? (Doesn’t help if you’re on an apple product and want to stream) 🤦🏼‍♀️

Love the stories and the new app is so much faster

My kids have enjoyed Sparkle Stories since they were both infants. The new app is a big speed boost over the old one, and the support from the product team was great when a recent update broke part of the experience.

Love it on the go!

Been a fan since sparkle was just a little story enterprise & still love it today. When one of my kids tunes in, we ALL tune in!

Beautiful, Nourishing Stories for Children

Thank you so much for providing me with a resource I can use to take a breath, make a cup of tea and slow down while my children drink in rich storytelling inducing and wonder, imagination and joy.

Awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is amazing no adds👍🏼a lot of stories easy to navigate

Frustrating App

I am really enjoying listening to these stories with my 4 and 2 year old children; however, we often listen to them in the car and when we don’t finish a particular story the app doesn’t save your spot and returns to the main page. This is beyond frustrating when wanting to return to unfinished stories. It definitely needs some rethinking to mirror other audiobook apps like audible or even iBooks.

Great Stories

We love this app and the convenience of having all the stories available. The only downside is the long load time on the search feature.

Excellent stories! Weak app

Like the other reviews, I love the stories. My kids love the stories. But I can’t see our subscription lasting long because the logistics of finding stories are frustrating. The website works well enough, but the app is slow and clunky and hard to search. You can’t really make an order for a playlist. I’d love to have an ‘in order’ playlist for the stories. My kids love listening to Martin and Sylvia or The Willowbee Tree at bedtime, but it’s hard to create a new playlist of stories each night for bed. And I forget what they have listened to and it is not indicated in any way so I get ‘MOM! We already heard this one!’ Please improve your app! I’d love to continue supporting this!

App support not working

The app keeps crashing. I can’t use the app support either. Please. We’ve paid for the monthly subscription and can’t use it now that the app won’t load.
