  • Add on books do not work

    Very upset with this application. Free application seemed nice, so then I purchased 2 books from their library to start off, Animal Colors and Elephant. Neither book shows up in the library except the name at the bottom, no actual book cover shows, and there is no ability to open it or use it. ITunes is unable to credit me for the purchase because it was an in-app purchase and only the developer can resolve the issue or credit me back. Unable to get any response from developer. It frustrates my daughter with Down Syndrome who opens this app and is stuck with just the 2 free books over and over.
  • Don't Buy

    I emailed them about two books that are missing after I bought them. That was two weeks ago and haven't heard from them. I am a teacher and was using it with my students but am not anymore. You'll never get the books you buy if you download this app and you will lose your money.
  • LOVE the "quiz" feature!!!

    I so far only have the "free Hunchback" level 1 book, but this is AMAZING~ The pictures are BEAUTIFUL, love that you can track your childs progress and LOVE the quiz at the end!!! GREAT RE-Enforcement!!!!!!!!! If I could give 6 stars, I WOULD!!!
  • Crashing

    This APP was working well but then I bought the Solar System book and now it keeps crashing every time I try to open up the book. The only book that works is the Whale book. Please fix
  • Best reading app for kids...

    One of the best book reading app for the kids.. All the features I wanted. Please add more books.
    Thanks.
  • Great app

    My favorite thing about this app is that it allows my kids to progress without me by their side. The pictures are also great in the science books, very vivid. Some of them even have some sound effects. The only problem is that they dont have a lot of books out yet. Also, it would be nice if the original purchase of the app came with 2 or 3 books instead of just one. The books are only a dollar to buy though, so pretty reasonable. Overall, i would recommend it. I just hope they hurry and increase their library,
  • Simply the best

    I have pages of book apps for my three year old son including meegenius and jibjab jr. And this is the best out of all of them. Being able to tap the word and have it read aloud is giving my son the ability to be more independent in developing his reading skills. Also, the 2nd tier stories are very informative on subjects like the solar system and different types of insects and animals. Being able to go back and listen to my son reading to himself is also amazing. Great job guys!!!!!!!!!
  • Can't wait to try it with my clients"

    This looks extremely interesting and what I saw in the Whale book was enticing. The parental controls sound useful. I'll be checking them out. I like the recording option. Looking forward to the school edition. How are the levels determined, and are they correlated with DRA or Fountas & Pinnell or Reading Recovery? Three things I'd love to see--A lightbulb or some other icon every few pages that the child could tap on to see/hear a prompt such as "What do you think will happen next?" with the ability to record an answer. Another would be the ability to record the child doing a retelling of the story. A third would be some kind of running record/fluency option. In the meantime--very excited to try these.
  • Solar System

    I loved the solar system book. Very interesting for the adults as well as the early reader. This is a great system and at your fingertips on your ipad. Very cool
  • Great!

    I downloaded the app. You get one level zero and one level one book for free. The other books are .99. The free download book was about whales. It was about 15 pages with great illustrations. There was one interactive part where you could hear the sound of a whale. If you tap on a word, it will be read to you. I will be buying more books, and look forward to more being added ( there are about 6 available riht now.).
