A good education, but a bit of problems
A great fun way to learn and study reading processes. But unable to use it because of the option "Enter the year you were born" i tried both my birth year and my daughter's but did not work. Please fix this, my daughter used to enjoy this so much but then we got a new iPad and tried to install it back.. And this happend

Go anywhere be anything!!!
I grew up in this show, and when I heard it was coining back I was super excited. I read the other reviews and thought I would chime in. My two nephews and I love this app. We read the books together (unless LeVar is the voice of the auto reader!) then we find videos we can watch that are the same subject of the books. (Eli, 2 years old, likes the Honest Abe video because their is a scarecrow in it. Ethan 7 years old, is really into the dragon books, because I read and he gets to make the pictures animate when he touches the screen) it's amazing to get to share my childhood with my nephews. I love the animation, the many islands full of books. There are pieces of the original episodes! I know people seem frustrated with no being able to view the books offline, but even with that minor flaw, the app is worth it. I am not a technical guru... but I can say bed time stories have become a must in our house hold and I'm so happy with this service! (Ethan wants me to add... every kid need this because it's soooooo coool!)

Amazing!
Such an amazing app, beautifully done with a great selection of books. My 3 year old adores it and I love the range of books, especially awesome for homeschool!
Best value for my child's education
This app is $50 a year and I would easily pay more. My children sometimes spend two or more hours a day reading books could I ask for anything more? Hundreds of books at their disposal plus movies - this is a great app. If your children have a birthday I would recommend asking for this as their gift or ask your family to chip in to make this their Christmas gift.

My 4 year old keeps thanking me for this app!!!
My 3 and 4 year old love to use my tablet, but I hate for them to just play games. My 4 year old loves books and to be read to, but I can't always read to her as often as she would like. I tried the 5 books first and we fell in love with it! My daughters LOVE this app. I like the ability to have it read, but also the ability for me to read to them or them to themselves! They usually love watching videos, but have been so pleased with the books they haven't even began to mess with the videos yet. $50 a year really isn't that bad when you think of the amount of money you'd spend on books, gas, and time to go to the library, bookstore, etc. It takes up a lot less space and with young children ever changing tastes makes this totally worth it! Some complain this is way too expensive, but when you have multiple children with different taste this is way cheaper, plus paying for the service of the app reading to you. I love that this not only has fun books, but educational ones and National Geographic! There are books for different cultures as well. This is an all around great app. This may not be for everyone, every age, or every reader out there so I encourage you to try the app first before committing to the price so as not to be disappointed. The free trial is more than generous and really gives you a taste!

Love it !
I was reluctant to buy this for my five year old due to the price but it has been well worth it and I will renew her subscription.
It is a great alternative to videos when I need free time.
The stories are all kid-safe and teach good values and critical thinking.
Well done !

Very impressed!!
My son loves this app. The subscription is very well priced for the yearly subscription. It is roughly the cost of 3 new books which put into perspective is worth every penny. Glad to know they add new books monthly cause at the rate my son is going through them we will be done all 400 books soon. Wish there was more of a selection for younger kids age 1 to 4. Also wish they add more first reader books for kids learning to read with the common sight words for kindergarten to grade 1. BUT so far this app has been the best app I have ever purchased. My son reads 5 books before bed ever night and begs to read more. Thank you for making such and incredible app!!

Amazing app!
I loved Reading Rainbow growing up. When I found the app I was too excited to download it. So far I'm just doing the free trial to explore everything and see how my kids like it, if they really enjoy it as much as I have exploring everything, then I will definitely do the year membership!
It setup default as auto renew and no notification before charge
Tried to cancel but seems still going to charge me from apple. Need to settle through apple.
Slow and slack disappointed
Paid for one month subscription and since a day been trying to download books always end up saying error tap here again ...... Goes on ....... What a waste of money and time . Had high hopes with all the video samples but disappointed with the app
