Mr

Disappointed. I subscribed for a year planning to read stories in Russian to my child. After a few months the content changed and all stories and tales disappeared, only basic vocab content left. Also lots of English content which I wish wasn’t there to distract my bilingual child. I will not renew.

Limited 📖 books

It should not have that, kids need to read at home, home school too. And if they don’t have books at home they have no choice but to read in their Devices¡Do not recommend for this app.

Покупала несколько раз подписку. Было много книг. В последний раз купила, пропали много книг.

Исчезли почти все книги, осталось только несколько книг 20 примерно для детей типо букварь,название птиц, машин. А книги со стихами, рассказы пропали. В итоге за подписку и читать нечего

Bilingual learning

We're raising our son in English, but I want to reinforce my native language. Booka's vast library includes books in my language with professional narration, which is perfect for what we're looking for.

Screen time

Long waits used to mean tantrums or resorting to phone games. Now, I hand my daughter the phone with Booka open, and it keeps her happily discovering new stories for the entire wait.

Histoires préférées

Avec la fonction "Lire pour moi", ma fille de 5 ans peut choisir et écouter ses histoires préférées sans attendre que j'aie du temps. Une application qui respecte et encourage l'indépendance des enfants.

Used to be great

Used to be a staple for us, but recently they removed all the fun and interesting books and replaced them. I’m a preschool teacher and I’m all for educational books but the books they replaced it with are mostly non-fiction. An early lover reading comes from love and great stories. They also removed children’s favourites some of which my children rely on without any notice.

Pediatric endorsement

The “Read to Me” feature models fluent reading and expression, which is crucial for early literacy. As a pediatrician, this is the only app I feel confident prescribing for educational engagement.

Vocabulary building

My first grader struggled with reading aloud, which killed her confidence. With Booka, she follows along as the app reads, taking the pressure off, absorbing sentence structure and vocabulary passively.

Soothing presence

This app is gently bridging the gap between listening and independent reading. The calming narration from Booka provides a familiar, soothing presence that helps him feel secure while learning.

Low-pressure

My child is easily overwhelmed, but this app's calm, professional narration and the control he has (choosing/swiping books) create a perfect, low-pressure reading environment. A true haven for differently-wired kids.

Moment calme

Les narrateurs ont des voix si douces et les mélodies sont si apaisantes que mes petits s'endorment paisiblement. C'est un moment de calme et de connexion précieux. Merci pour ces nuits plus sereines !

Перестало работать приложение

Купил подписку, пользовались недели две, потом перестало работать приложение. После запуска бесконечно идёт загрузка. Переустановка приложения не решает проблему. Как вернуть деньги?

Не работает

Оплатила подписку, неделю приложение работало. Сейчас же ни одна книга не загружается уже несколько дней, просто белый экран. А дни подписки сокращаются!!!Получается оплатила, а использовать не могу.

Apprentissage qualitatif

Mon enfant a l'impression de jouer sur mon téléphone, mais en réalité, il apprend ! C'est rassurant de savoir qu'il s'occupe avec un contenu éducatif et de qualité plutôt qu'avec des vidéos sans intérêt.

Interactive books

I was skeptical about the possible success of this app, but now my son is always swiping through book covers like a little grown-up, discovering new stories himself, and excited to "play" with books.

Confidence to Fluency

At first, the "Read to Me" feature gave my daughter the confidence to enjoy stories without the pressure of decoding words; but now she follows along in the text herself and her reading fluency has improved dramatically.

Family favorite

We travel frequently, and carrying a stack of books was impossible. Booka gives us an entire library on my phone. The mobile layout is perfect, with clear text and vibrant images. We all love it!

Focused time

As a work-from-home parent, I sometimes need 20 minutes of focused time, and this app has become my secret tool for that, with it, my child is safely engaged, swiping through and listening to educational stories.

Супер

Книги от Booka не только красиво изданы, но и содержат ценные уроки и мудрость. Наши дети учатся многому, читая вашу литературу.
