A big tidy-up in the Bookbot burrow! - Squashed more crashes. They just keep coming back for more. - Offline reading is sturdier — Bookbot no longer sulks when the Wi-Fi takes a nap. - Older phones and tablets got a boost — everything runs faster and smoother, hand-me-downs included. - A fresh coat of paint here and there, so things are easier to find and nicer to tap. Loving Bookbot? Tap Rate Us — it makes our day (and helps more kids fall in love with reading)!

User reviews

This is boring

I hate this. It’s so boring. I wouldn’t even give my talking, right.

Why?

I was getting words right but it kept on telling me to practice

Response from developer

Hey there, Please update to the latest Bookbot. We’ve done work around improving the reading experience. Let us know if this works better for you.

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. We’ve also improved the voices in the latest version. 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.
