I love it. ### 5/5 — Great book to teach self reading *2012-01-30, version 2.1* Love the choices of levels based on the child's current reading abilities. It really encouraged my daughter to sound out each word to read the sentences ### 5/5 — Love it! *2012-01-17, version 2.0* Loved 1! Love 2! Where is 3 and 4!! ### 5/5 — They love it! *2011-08-29, version 2.0* it's really good! While they learn, they play, have fun and enjoy the beautiful illustrations! ### 5/5 — Kids enjoys this one too *2011-07-11, version 1.0* The kids thoroughly enjoy #1 book and now have this one, #2. They are hoping #3 will be out soon. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No good for British English *2013-10-02, version 2.5* The first word is Mom with the 'o' sounding as 'uh'. It carries on with the same problem with Bob and then has a dog called Pug where the 'u' also sounds 'uh' like the 'o'. ### 3/5 — Beware American English & terminology *2013-02-09, version 2.4* Relative to other apps I think this is slightly over priced but my daughter likes it and it is educational. ### 3/5 — Same old same old *2012-03-20, version 2.2* It's a nice app but I think it is a little over priced for what it has to offer, however Baby likes it. She has just turned two so I guess it's one of those word games that she will put down and then go back to with a different understanding. ### 3/5 — Not Enough Content for the $$$ *2011-06-22, version 1.0* Bob's Books #1 was pretty good but thought there should be more content. I was hoping they added more content overtime however they didn't. The #2 series is pretty much the same story line. The only difference is differentiating capital letters withing the words. My daughter breezed through in less than 10 minutes. I expected a bit more from Bob's Books. If I'm paying for a premium app I expect premium content. The colors are fantastic and it is very interactive but they need to add more. ### 3/5 — Limited *2011-06-10, version 1.0* Content is very limited. It should provide at least three different story lines. It is the same story and four ways to match the words. It keeps repeating and my son got bored. ### 4/5 — Great reading app with a few pause issues *2020-04-16, version 3.0* Sometimes the app has pause glitches & it can be frustrating whilst reading. Need to restart or refresh. Overall great reading app and easy to follow. My son enjoys reading by himself using the app compared to the hard copy books. ### 4/5 — Great app *2012-05-14, version 2.2* My kid loves this app. Its educational and entertaining. ### 5/5 — AJ *2022-06-07, version 3.1* Arthur ### 5/5 — Hate *2022-02-14, version 3.1* Stupid ### 5/5 — Thank you Bob Books! *2022-01-21* Thank you Bob Books. You’re an excellent program, my child has learned so fast with your books and programs. Your the best. Keep it up! ## Most praised reviews (7 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Bob books *2020-11-28, version 3.0* It is great for my kids to play ### 5/5 — Needs a tweak but great nonetheless *2014-04-07, version 2.6* Switch out Pop with Dad. ### 5/5 — Very engaging *2014-01-20, version 2.6* These books are wonderful. I hope they continue to put out more of the series. ### 5/5 — Great App!!! *2013-11-18, version 2.6* My 3 year old son loves Bob Books... Wish there was more to download. ### 5/5 — Love this app *2013-08-27, version 2.5* This is a great addition to the book set. My 6yo loves learning to spell the words using this app. I hope they keep adding to this series. ### 5/5 — Love, love, love *2013-08-14, version 2.5* My son loves these Bob Books apps! I keep checking for the next one! Will be first in line! I love the levels. I love the quick transitions. I love the colors. I love the use of letter sounds rather than the names of the letters! Love that my son will sit and do this app after I say school is done and he has no idea he is still learning. It creates great parent child time and even though I an with him seeing that the learning is happening, he thinks he is teaching me! Great job! Waiting for book #3 ### 5/5 — Amazing *2013-05-27, version 2.5* My son loves these apps. He was born with Down Syndrome and he plays them over and over. It has helped him put words together when nothing else has and I have tried a lot of different things. Please keep them coming. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
