What's New in Bookbot Phonics Books for Kids

4.0.11

September 17, 2026

Big news from the Bookbot burrow! - Collections have landed — grab all the books at once, or just the Minecraft ones, or just the African folktales. Start another while one's still downloading. You're the boss. - Downloads got properly quick, and the app went on a diet — it's a lot smaller to install and takes up far less room on your device. Same stories, less luggage. - New books show up the moment they're ready, instead of making you wait for the whole shelf. - Squashed a few crashes. They had it coming. Loving Bookbot? Tap Rate Us — it makes our day (and helps more kids fall in love with reading)!

Not Worth It

Bot speaks with an annoying accent and speech recognition keeps glitching

Response from developer

Hi ClimbRocks7, In the Grown-Up Zone, you can change the accent setting to choose a different accent. For speech recognition, choose Voice Isolation in the main menu. This will improve speech recognition performance. If these don't help, contact us at team@bookbotkids.com; we're always here to help.

This app is great

I love this app. This is the best app for kids.

Response from developer

Thank you so much! You are too kind. 😀

Great app for kids

Great for kids who are slower to learn to read. Only issue is it’s slow to recognise the voice which frustrates my children. Need to be able to resync the voice maybe to make sure it’s hearing correctly. Have same issue on phone and tablet.

Doesn’t load

The app doesn’t load in any device I just have the white screen of death appear…….

Bookbot

Absolutely fantastic especially for my 5 year old boy it keeps him engaged and he loves reading time now :)

My 7 year old loves it aswell and she likes the fact she can read by herself whereas the little one likes to read along with bookbot.

Absolutely love it and so do the children. Keeps them busy when I’m busy doing other chores!
