Eight sentences
You are paying $3 for eight sentences
Science of reading reading practice
Love this! Would love classroom students get access to these wonderful fun games!
This app needs a lot of work
Don’t waste your money like I did. There are no arrows to move on to next page so your just stuck there. Not user friendly for 5 yr old. This is just a lead in to make you buy the books.

Change Sam please! He does not look like from Bob Books book sets!
Overcharged - no help!!
I was charged $29.99 for this app when it clearly says $2.99 ! I would never have bought it for near $30! I am upset, I have emailed and nobody is getting back to me. No refund... nothing. Not happy!!!! Don’t purchase !
Are you kidding me?
My kid blew through this in less than five minutes. Should have 10x the content or be free. Do not buy.
My daughter loves this app!
My 5 year old is using Bob books to learn how to read. She loves that this app features the same characters. She’ll read me one of the books, then excitedly tell me ‘Mama, the cat is orange on my iPad! Let’s play that game now so I can show you!’. The books and this app have really made her excited about reading. As a parent, I love that it’s simple, slow paced, and not overstimulating.

$2-3 for 12 pages?!
Only 12 pages in reading magic #1. I thought I was paying for the app/digital equivalent of a box set.
So disappointed

Getting to different levels
There seems to be a bug because I set level 2 or 3 in adult mode and it keeps showing only level 1. It is frustrating in an otherwise great app.
Response from developer
Hi there, We're sorry to hear that you are having an issue with the app. Keep in mind that level 2, 3, and 4 show all the same story pages as level 1. What is different about each level is the level of difficulty for spelling the words on the page. It's possible you didn't realize that when you first opened level 2, but the difference between level 1 and level 2 is that in level 1 you can spell the word by placing letters in any order, and in level 2 you have to place the letters down in the correct order to spell the word. I hope that solves your issue but if not, please contact us at apps@bobbooks.com for further help.
Fantastic for special needs children
Children with ASD or Down’s Syndrome excel with this app. It is staged excellently - matching letter to letter (with visual context) then progressing to sentences.
Highly recommended

We're so glad to hear that you are enjoying the app!
Awesome app
When I downloaded it I thought I was going to HATE it but it turned out to be fun my kids love it and they are learning like crazy
Starts with all letters instead of advancing
I like how the regular Bob books teach a few letters at a time. This app starts with all letters from the start so it’s too much for my four year old. I do like their approach though and they sound them out the way I teach him.
Lo mejor para aprender inglés!
Esta colección de libros es lo mejor para aprender a leer en inglés. Es divertido, simple, tiene todas las pronunciaciones y es súper didáctico. Los mismos niños querrán usarlo todo el tiempo. Súper recomendado!!

What my kids missed!
I love this app! So easy to use and learn! I am so happy my grand kids can use it! Thank you!
Where’s the rest
I thought this app would go in tandem with the books to reinforce what’s being learned. This shows one page of the book and goes to the next book and shows one page. I’m not seeing the value in having this app. Am I missing something?!
Love BOB!
This is a great app for my 4.5 year old blossoming reader! We are using the first set of BOB books to start her off on reading and this game is a nice supplement. She likes the characters from the books, and I like how the levels progress to add difficulty in nice "baby steps" (i.e. Doesn't jump from too easy to too hard). We love it!

Very useful
Nice
Will not work.
I was excited to see that Bob Books had an app so I purchased 1 and 2 for my 1st Gen IPad last year. It worked fine and the kids loved it. I added two iPad minis so more kids could play. Last week, I purchased the sight words as an add-on to my other games. Now Bob Books 1 no longer works on my 1st gen iPad because it is trying to install the new version. HOW do I get my old version back? It is very frustrating because now the kiddos who use the 1st gen IPad are even more limited.

Thank you for reducing file size!
Please bring back the apps ability to vocalize the letter sounds when you touch on the word prompts! This was the apps best feature. I have taught many ASD student letter sounds and to read by using that feature.
