Let your family and friends play the games

more books

there are only three books available to read. you need to get the full version to read all the books. the full version coasts money though.

Not much for your money!

I paid ยฃ2.99 and got 12 lines of text for my child to read. Hardly value for money. Would not recommend.

JUST DISAPPOINTING

I'm so disappointed I bought this game for myself and I can't make theatre this game sucks you're so so disappointed I can't tell you at one point I will try to get this app zero*somebody wouldn't let me so that's why there's a one star

You stink

This app is annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Everyone should stop playing this game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ipad

it would be great if the sound worked on an ipad

Uncool

I purchased the original bb magic and feel it unfair that I have to purchase the same material in the new apps. I should be able to download the new apps which contain the old material that my son has been playing with for 5 yrs since he was 6 months old. I was a loyal bob book parent until I saw this.

Response from developer

Hi there, we're unsure which app you had previously purchased and which one you were trying out as a new app, but keep in mind that apps 1, 2, and 3 as well as our latest app, Spin and Spell, all have unique stories and pictures based on the corresponding book sets. Feel free to write to us at apps@bobbooks.com and we can gift you one of the apps you haven't tried before. Thanks!

Great!

It is incredibly helpful for young children learning how to read!

Glitch

This app would be great, but there is a glitch in one of the lessons that prevents you from moving to the other levels. Please fix it :)

Improvement

I got this app for my son because my sister had used these books to learn to read. I like the app but my son is having a little difficulty putting in the letters. He is only two but I wanted to introduce the idea of reading early and see how he does.
It would be nice if the app were able to use more than one finger to place the letters. Is this possible?

Needs Work

I love your app. I got this for my 2 year old brother and tried it out but I found a cinch. I think you need to add more books so the little one here won't get bored. Other than that, I think this a great app to help establish reading skills and help with curriculum.

NEEDS MORE

It is really good but it needs more .

Not enough to it.

There are full reading program apps out there now, and some are quite good.

Potential

Love the graphics and the concept of this game. After 5 minutes, game is over. Add more content, and I would consider paying for this. Great potential!

Ok

It is ok but I got it and finished all the levels in 5min?
I think the other ones you have to pay are properly better even if it is $4.49!!!!

Best learning to read app for beginner

This is the best learning to read app I have found for absolute beginner readers. As I did with my oldest son (and with success - he was able to read fluently prior to starting school) I am endeavouring to teach my soon-to-be 5 year old son to read. This app uses only the most basic words: if your child knows the complete phonetic version of the alphabet, he/she should be able to decipher all of the words by his/herself. The words are combined into short sentences which together with the cute animations, creates an engaging learning opportunity. Most importantly, this is a tool which allows children to put into practice their phonetic knowledge of the alphabet - to decipher the "code" that is each letter - without complication, to allow children to put the pieces together and actually "read" at the most basic level. Highly recommended.

A good start

My daughter quickly outgrew them, but they were a great place to start. She enjoyed reading and never felt discouraged.

My 4 year old enjoys it.

There's only three different scenes, but considering this app was free, it's great! I will likely buy the next one hoping it has more words. This one is a great start, a little silly, a lot of learning :)
