One of the best app I've bought
This app is superb! From beginning to end this app has been an absolute joy! The voice-over, the animation, it's all so well done that it puts every other book on the iPad to shame. My daughter loves the book and we both enjoy the multiple levels of animation on nearly every single element. A week later and we're still finding new things to enjoy.
I'm always touting apple products, especially the iPad, and this has now become one of the apps I use to sell other people on this great device.
I'll be sure to keep an eye out for other products from this developer!Michael Knauer
Fantastic BUT can you add option to mute the music? - FIXED
Update: They fixed the issue :) 5 stars!
Original comment:
REALLY well done but the music is too much especially for those practicing reading. The balance with the spoken word volume is off too as it can often require pressing the word a couple of times to hear the narrator if the reader is stuck on a word. Obviously you can just mute the sound but then you miss out on the sound effects which add a great deal of charm to the experience.
Hopefully this is an easy change, or if its in there already and I'm just missing it someone can point out to me where I can mute the music I would appreciate as its not jumping out to me at the moment.Dave_Rev
Exceptional
Ok. My kids are a bit "that's baby mom, I'm almost a teenager" but I LOVED it. Everything about this app is just wonderful. If you have any doubts, like I did you'll ponder getting it but once you give in you'll realize you shouldn't gotten it sooner. Well worth it!SchrodingersKitty
Highly recommended
I have numerous book-type apps on my various iOS devices for my child. She has come back to this one daily since I bought it whenever she gets ahold of my phone or iPad. Beautifully done in every regards from the reader's voice to the background music. The best part is that it works perfectly on phone/ipod and iPad so we always have it with us on some device! (I love not having to buy multiple versions for different platforms)jmaybe
LOVE it!
I was a bit nervous considering some of the reviews but I had no "issues". This is a fantastic app. At all times you can have a diversion that will keep a child entranced for quite some time. It is also fun for adults! The narrator is great and the sound effects will make you smile. Get it...and show it to a kid on Christmas morning.colomom
Excellent!
I decided to try this despite the mixed reviews. It worked perfectly on my iPhone 4 and I cannot wait until later tonight to experience this with my five year old! I remember this book as a child and this is a great new way to experience this book! I will definitely consider any other books that are available in this format in the future. Wish it was a bit cheaper but no complaints otherwiseTramirez82
So well done...
I have always loved the Potter stories and they are a part of our family's culture. My 19 month old grandson (who is quite a livewire) will sit for long spells on my lap while we read from our big book of "Tales of Peter Rabbit and His Friends".
This app tells the story of Peter (and allows grandpa to tell it his way, too) in such a peaceful and engaging manner. Claire de Lune is the gentle "soundtrack", and there are so many things to play with on each page, every reading of it is different. Very well done-we look foward to more stories soon!Peter in Hawaii
Best of the Best
I give this 5 stars (an upgrade from the previous version that caused my iPad to crash upon opening).
THIS is a CHILD'S classic and this PopUp iPad version is this Book's New "MANY HOUR's of Enjoyment " version of this book! Besides being delightful, it is durable unlike paper moving-parts children's books.
THANKS FOR THE UPDATE!vi of NorthernCalif.
Great!
I thought this was a beautiful app! There are multiple interactive features on each page and the narration is well done. My 6-year-old, 11-year-old and I all thoroughly enjoyed it! Can't wait for the next book...Nettopie
Multiple teaching opportunities
Loved the book on iPad and then loaded it on 2 of my kids ipods. No crashing problems as of yet. The kids have fine motor skill problems, and they practice a wide variety of skills throughout the book. They are also dyslexic, so the option to have it read to them reinforces their word recognition. It is nice to see them so engaged with a classic.Sonia515
