The screen was locked. The screen was half black and half Bookful and I tried to turn it off and on please fix it developer. Please notice my review. I hope you find this useful if you ever got glitch too. ### 4/5 — Great game, only if you pay money 🙁 *2023-10-16* So I saw this game and I was like, “ Wow this is perfect! “ so I begged my mom, and guess what? All that so the game could ask me to pay. I have a few free books, but the rest is locked only if I pay! :( Barely any books are in access, and that makes me upset. I am wondering if you could at least add some more books that are free? Thanks ### 2/5 — I cannot load the books on my iPad *2023-09-13* I am on an automatic renewal for the Bookful app and my granddaughters love the books. But I have not, for the past several months been able to load any of the books on my iPad which has system 16.6.1. In fact, the app freezes my iPad, so that I must restart it to even access any other apps. Can you please explain the problem? I did read that you are working on accommodating the more recent Mac systems, but right now I have an expensive app that just doesn’t work, and my granddaughters aren’t getting to read some of their favorite books. **Developer response:** We're so sorry to hear you're experiencing technical issues with the app. Please email support@inceptionxr.com so our team can help you further! ### 1/5 — CAN'T DO THE QUIZZES!!! 😔 *2023-02-03, version 3.19.2* My son loves this app but he hasn't been able to do the quizzes yet. After he's done with each book he's supposed to have the option to complete the quiz that way he can work on his comprehension but unfortunately that doesn't happen. The app points out that he hasn't completed any quiz from the 94 books he has read so far but HOW COULD HE if the app doesn't give him the choice???? This is so frustrating!! ### 4/5 — Great app but *2023-01-04, version 3.19.2* This is great app I enjoy with my youngest while waiting for his bus to arrive. He gets super excited while reading. The only thing I don’t like is that it seems there is no way to add a second profile for my other child. I have it set for my 7 year old but cannot add my almost 4 year old. Please add that feature to fully enjoy the app. Thanks! **Developer response:** Hi mamaof2Earthlings, thanks so much for your amazing review! We are so so delighted to hear your children are truly enjoying the Bookful app! In addition, thank you for your feedback, it is very important to us that we get this fixed right away. ### 5/5 — Reading made Fun *2022-11-17, version 3.19.2* My granddaughters can’t wait for my visits, so we can do Bookful together. They will sit for hours reading the stories and playing some of the games. They are very close in age and enjoy showing each other the new books they have discovered. Thank you for providing an outstanding program that children can actually play and learn from. ### 3/5 — Love it but keeps freezing *2022-09-03, version 3.19.2* My son and I love the app, but it’s keeps freezing and gets very frustrating especially since I paid for the subscription . Hope this gets fixed ### 5/5 — We love Bookful! *2022-06-21, version 3.18.3* As a working mom it became too time consuming going to the library every week to check books out. I found Bookful and it changed our reading! I no longer need to go to the library and sift through books, Bookful has all we need! My son loves the quiz time books and games that go along with the stories. We take Bookful with us everywhere! Highly recommend! **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! We are delighted to hear your child is enjoying Bookful!. 😊 ### 5/5 — Great App for Bedtime Reading *2022-06-17, version 3.18.3* Love this app for getting into a good bedtime reading routine, many books to choose from, and kids love the interaction with the stories. ### 5/5 — An Interactive Reading Experience *2022-06-16, version 3.18.3* My toddler and I read Bookful books every night before bed. The selection is amazing. Bookful has many interactive books based on popular and well-known children’s shows like PJ Masks, Peppa Pig, My Little Pony, Sesame Street, etc., but we also enjoy discovering new books/series/songs. You interact with the books by tapping icons found in the pictures, finding things, or answering quiz questions, all of which trigger animation sequences. Bookful has more than just books. There’s art/painting, mini-games, and more. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! We are delighted to hear your child is enjoying Bookful!. 😊 ## Frequently asked questions about Bookful ### What is Bookful?
