### 1/5 — Crashes

*2011-09-11*

The app crashes every time I open this.. Interestingly, during the first run, the app worked for unto 5 pages and crashed. Now, every time I run the app it crashes...bought this for my daughter butt sad it just don't work...Don't buy this... Wait for an update to fix the crash issues....

### 1/5 — Bad English pronunciation. Just deleted. 英语版好差。

*2011-05-28*

Bad English pronunciation. Just deleted. 英语版好差。

Wow! What a dishonest 5 star reviews. All the reviews were given on the same day, May 25th. They must came from the employees or friends of the company.  

Don't use these apps by this company "iBigToy" to learn English, unless you want to learn "Chinese English". BAD pronunciation and super slow flat boring reading.  
The drawing and Chinese reading are good. I give one star for that.  But I wouldn't recommend this for kids.  I have to delete all apps by iBigToy from my iPad. Hay, I have a 3 years old who plays my iPad every day. Luckily  I got all these apps when they were free.

千万别用这个公司 'iBigToy' 的软件学英语。这读英语的姐姐发音不是很标准，并且读的比蜗牛还要慢而且平旦无味。好象才学的英文，一个字一个字的念，实在听不下去。这样念给小孩听是不对的。真是误入子弟。

中文版还可以，卡通也画的不错。这公司因该花了不心血做了这么多apps. 应该请个专业读书的老外重新来过。我就可以重新加分。但是现在我必许把这些软件删除。我不想影响到我的小女儿。
