I’ve got all 5 books. Occasionally hard to turn a page but nothing major. Sound only works with headphones which is weird and disappointing as it’s hard to enjoy the sounds with your kid…. ### 4/5 — No sound *2020-11-20* Bought the bundle. But Not Hippo is the only app that has sound. The rest of the bundle is silent, which is frustrating. ### 2/5 — Volume stopped working *2018-10-07, version 1.4* Not much good without the audio, tried re- loading but still no sound. Loved it when it was working ### 5/5 — Genius! *2014-07-07, version 1.3* Great app. I love it and my kid hasn't even tried it yet! ### 3/5 — No sound *2014-05-28* I have owned this and the other Boynton apps for several years and love them. This most recent incarnation of all of the books has no sound, however. I don't know what is going on, but it isn't much fun to play with/read without the sound. Please fix it!! ### 5/5 — Love this app! *2014-01-15, version 1.3* I loved this book as a board book, but it's much better as an app. The sound and animations are wonderful and are lots of fun for kids and parents. ### 5/5 — Makes Car Rides Easier *2014-01-08* I got a new iPhone and this is the first app I downloaded, even before I set up my email and voice mail. We have the book in two board book sizes as well as the plastic one for bath time...we can't be without the book! So, this app is a life saver when you're driving and the kid is screaming in the backseat. Pull over and hand them the iPhone! You'll literally have the world's smallest violin playing in your back seat. It's amazing, sometimes I find myself playing it when I get handed my phone back. ### 5/5 — Another magical... *2013-12-14, version 1.3* Interactive book from Sandra Boynton and Loud Crow. Great for kids from very small to more than 100 ### 5/5 — Fun *2013-12-09, version 1.3* Little guy loves it ### 5/5 — A Hoot and a Moo and a Cockle doodle Doo! *2013-10-23* This is my grandson's favorite bedtime story, in part, because we all join in the reading of the traditional board book version and do the dance and mimic the animals. I couldn't imagine how you could improve on our version - but this is totally Fantastic! I have never seen an interactive book that meshed the music so well with the reading of the book. The song was amazing and the timing truly artfully done. It took us awhile to find all the interactive parts - we were too busy doing it our own way. What a delight! Your animal actions are beautifully thought out. I know this will be a long time family favorite. You have enriched American bedtime culture! Thank you! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No Audio *2021-05-31, version 1.4* Was looking forward to this, but the audio does not work. Tried every option, very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Very disappointing *2020-09-26, version 1.4* Only one book reads aloud which makes no sense that one will and the rest won’t!! would be a great app if they all read aloud. Really disappointing!! ### 1/5 — Boyton books *2018-12-16, version 1.4* Great books but sound doesn’t work. Please fix this problem for both iPhone and iPad ### 1/5 — No narration *2016-07-13, version 1.3* The sound for the narrator won't work 😟 sad because my son loves these books ### 1/5 — Boring for a 3 year old *2016-05-26* I was trying to find something like a monster at the end of this book. Interactive and engaging. This is not that. It is okay for a one year old, but it doesn't really do much. It really is like just reading the book with banjo music playing in the background. If your child loves the board book I would recommend but that is it. I wish there was a way to look through these books without buying them to see if they are an appropriate age for your child. I won't be buying anymore book apps for awhile without a lite version. ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2016-03-20, version 1.3* No sound. Tried everything doesn't work. Total waste of money. ### 1/5 — No sound *2015-12-21, version 1.3* No sound. There is no point to buying this app without the sound. ### 1/5 — No Sound *2015-11-29, version 1.3* Unfortunately there is no sound in iOS 9.1. Are there any plans for an update fixing this problem? I bought the bundle and unfortunately only 1 of the books had sound. ### 1/5 — NO SOUND *2015-05-16, version 1.3* there is no sound, all app other apps on my iPhone and iPad like YouTube, Netflix....etc work fine, just this one has absolutely no sound on my iPhone or iPad...... ### 1/5 — Barnyard Boo! *2013-10-05, version 1.3* The sound doesn't work at all, with repeated downloads and a google search on how to fix, no results. No fun with no music or sound. Waste of money. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love the music and interaction *2018-10-16, version 1.4* I have this one and the Going to Bed Book. My toddler loves them both! I love the music and rhymes. ### 5/5 — Buy the bundle! These are the best. *2018-07-16* My husband and I both use these. iPhone 6 Plus and 7 plus. Never have issues except 1-2 times if my phone had been on vibrate when I went into app there wouldn’t be sound. Turn vibrate off, exit app and go back and it’s perfect. My children love these. 2 and 3 and both with autism. When my son, 2, is having meltdowns sometimes the sound of this book is all that’ll bring him out of it. Works on his fine motor skills too. ### 5/5 — Barnyard Dance *2016-11-18, version 1.3* Absolutely fabulous! Your books have been enjoyed by both my children. Thank You! ### 5/5 — Barnyard *2016-09-30, version 1.3* Awesome all my grandkids love it ### 5/5 — A favorite now even better! *2015-02-09* I've always sung this book to my daycare children and grandchildren and they dance right along with it. Now it is interactive and they can sing along and make deeper connections to words and their meaning! What an engaging, wonderful book! ### 5/5 — Barnyard Dance *2015-01-26, version 1.3* Excellent app representation of this Boynton book, which never fails to entertain our three year old girl. Would be great if there was an omnibus edition of the Boynton app books. ### 5/5 — Barnyard Dance *2014-11-15, version 1.3* I have had this app for nearly two years now since my daughter was two. She absolutely adores it. What a creative and fun story ### 5/5 — Great app *2014-10-03, version 1.3* So much fun for the little ones ### 5/5 — My Sons Favorite Author comes to LIFE! *2014-09-28, version 1.3* Pure fun. I recommend all the Sandra Boynton book apps. Keep kids entertained when you need a moment to breathe. My sons find new little fun things the pages do even now. ### 5/5 — Grandson loves it *2014-09-28* My 18 month old loves this. He has the hardback book, but this is much more entertaining. I also had the NO SOUND issue after installing. I found that the iPad Side Switch (next to the volume controls on the top/bottom) was set to selective mute, which mutes the ringer, notifications, and some game sounds. The switch has two positions. Setting it so that the orange dot is not visible allowed the book to play sounds. Also, even if the switch is set with the orange dot visible, the sounds played through the headphone jack. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
