### 5/5 — Cozmo day off

*2011-12-02, version 1.2.1*

This is a wonderful app, full of surprises and awesome animation. I could not stop playing with it. I know my grand kids will love it! Totally worth the price!

### 5/5 — LOVE THIS APP!

*2011-11-30, version 1.2.1*

I can't believe there are no reviews for this app! It is AWESOME! I'm having as much fun as the kids. Great illustrations, story and animation. So much to do besides the story. Please keep making more apps! This is the kind of app that everyone should mimic. I bought all of your other apps and am thrilled with them as well. :)

### 5/5 — Amazing Book!

*2011-11-30, version 1.2.1*

This is an amazing, wonderfully interactive book! My students love it! There are so many things to touch, see, and hear on each page. Cozmo's Day Off is exactly the way you wish ibooks could be and, once you read it, you become spoiled for other ibooks. It works great on my iPad 2. My only complaint would be that I wish they had more stories of the same caliber available.

### 5/5 — まるで遊園地のアトラクションの中にいるようです

*2011-11-29*

iPhoneでも十分楽しめますが、やはりiPadだと迫力が違います。大人が遊んでもウロウロ、色々なところをクリックしては予想外の動きを楽しめます。それから姪達は、思いのほか同じところでランダムな動きをするところがお気に入りのようで、何度も繰り返しクリックしてアクションの違いに喜んでいます。簡単に遊べるところもポイントですね！

### 5/5 — Lots of fun

*2011-11-16, version 1.2.0*

My grandsons really like this app.  They come back to it more often than most of the other storybooks that I have (and I have a lot). Their favorite part is where it says"I wouldn't do that . . ."

I highly recommend Cosmo.

### 5/5 — Best toddler app!!!!!

*2011-10-30, version 1.2.0*

Great.

### 5/5 — Great app!

*2011-10-20, version 1.2.0*

My two year old loves it. Can't wait for the next story in the same style.

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2011-10-02, version 1.2.0*

This was exactly what I was looking for to help my 9-year-old struggling reader. The text rhymes, most of the words were easy, and the chance to record himself encouraged him to really try. Plus, he had to read a page before he got to interact with it, and LOVED the interactions. Thanks so much! I just bought Jack and the Beanstalk, and I anxiously await more titles!

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2011-09-26, version 1.2.0*

My kiddos love this app. Cozmo is so cute. Fun pages to explore. Great job!

### 5/5 — Makes the most of the tech!

*2011-09-23, version 1.2.0*

What a superb interactive book. And I love that I can record my own narration.

### 5/5 — So cute!

*2011-09-19, version 1.2.0*

My little man loves this. Its full of quirky animations. We have gone on to purchase other apps from the same seller and have not been disappointed yet.

### 5/5 — Spectacular

*2011-09-07, version 1.2.0*

There are many electronic children's books, but few truly interactive one's that utilize the potential of the iPad with embedded features and games. 

Ayers animation is the best in my humble opinion. they have another book, Jack And The Bean Stalk and it is also of the highest quality.

I have a 2 year and a 4 1/2 year old and these are clearly their two favorite books.

There are other good books, to be sure, but these are our favorites. Definitely worth 4 dollars!

Simply SPECTACULAR!

### 5/5 — The best and most fun!

*2011-08-13, version 1.2.0*

I'm having more fun than my 5 year old Grandson.  Can't wait to show it to his dad (my son).

### 5/5 — Brilliant!

*2011-08-10, version 1.2.0*

Well done guys! Now I just have to wait for my baby to grow up a bit.....however, it did entertain my stepdad for at leats 40 mins XD

### 5/5 — AWESOME!!!

*2011-08-06, version 1.2.0*

This is so cool that this is one of the best storys EVER!!!!!!!!!

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Sound has died.

*2014-08-31, version 1.2.4*

With so many iOS updates, this App has produced none, and the sound no longer plays. The App is completely muute, no music, no narration, no effects, just images. Pretty pathetic for a paid App.

### 1/5 — doesn't run

*2012-09-17*

lite version worked fine and was good.  Paid version doesn't run on same device (ipad 1)

### 2/5 — A little baffled...

*2012-06-06, version 1.2.1*

Just bought this for my 4 yr old niece and it took her about 15 mins to go through. She's a smart kid but I expected her to be at least a little challenged...she wasn't at all. Check out the free version before you buy as it's really not worth £2.49. Looks good but seriously lacking in substance for any child over 2 yrs old.

### 3/5 — Ok but it is a story about a green thing that is late going to work

*2011-10-08, version 1.2.0*

Would have been fun if it was more of a children's theme and doing something childlike instead of being late to work but looking and acting like a child.  Of course that is me, the parent.  My 5 year old thinks it grand (though I read the story differently than what they wrote) and likes to push things in the story.  Thanks to the publishers to allow us to turn off their text and audio.

### 4/5 — digital tricks are amazing

*2011-10-02, version 1.2.0*

I thought the story was lacking, but the effects were amazing. It's fun to play on all the pages and the graphics are beautiful, and beautifully done.

### 4/5 — Very Cute

*2011-07-17, version 1.2.0*

Great book, one of my daughter's most requested apps. The games and interactions are all cute and great. Would be 5 stars except for the freakishly long and hard airplane game in the middle. You can't tell preschoolers that there's a reward and then make it that obnoxious to get to.

Other than that it's a fantastic app- just asked daughter what her favorite page was and she said "every page, all of the pages! Everyone should get Cozmo" so there ya go...

### 4/5 — Pretty good

*2011-07-10, version 1.2.0*

I love the animation and interctivity but sadly it's missing what we loved about Jack and the Beanstalk-- the music!!! There are great songs in Jack and the Beanstalk that my kids loved and it's a glaring omission in Cozmo. Keep at it though, my kids love the interactive buttons and hidden puzzles.  The story is okay, but felt a little short. Overall, worth the price.

### 4/5 — Fabulous app

*2011-07-10, version 1.2.0*

This is the best interactive story book. My 3 year old absolutely loves it.  The fire extinguisher keeps her entertained over and over again. We also have Jack and the Beanstalk, which is as good.  Thank you.

### 4/5 — Great! But not as great as Jack & the Beanstalk

*2011-01-17, version 1.0.2*

My 2 year old son's (and my) expectations were high when we downloaded this book. After all, Jack and the Beanstalk is our favorite iPad book by far. We were not disappointed. Cosmos is almost as great as Jack. Lots of interactions that take full advantage of the iPad functionality, and a fun imaginative story. Also, nice addition that you can record your own voice. 
But, Ayars, here are a few things you can improve on for the next one: 1) there are almost too many things going on taking away from the story. For example, the soap spraying gets real annoying when you can't skip through it (and my son insists on touching the extinguisher again and again), 2) the story is way too short - only ten pages, and 3) the text box is way too big blocking many interactions and making it impossible for me to read out loud while my son touches stuff.
With that said, it's great to see companies like yours pushing the envelope. Keep it up. We'll be reading Cosmos and Jack waiting for the next great book from Ayars.

### 4/5 — Gorgeous retro graphics and very cool animation and effects!!

*2011-01-12, version 1.0.2*

My kids love the book. It is fantastic!!!! Congratulations

I only gave you 4* because for $4 we felt that you could have done many more pages - 10 pages is to little for this price. My kids expected to keep on going but we reach the end too quick :(  
Thanks

### 5/5 — Love it

*2018-08-09, version 1.4.0*

I have absolutely loved this app for years! My kids and I still read it and look forward to the humour. Thank you guys.

### 5/5 — Love this APP

*2018-06-17, version 1.4.0*

I first downloaded Cosmos about 5 years ago or more, for my grandson when he was very small.  He loved it, as did I.  He played with it until my granddaughter downloaded it and began playing it a couple years ago. She is now 4 and still loves it.  Please keep adding to the story, it’s one of our family favorites!

### 5/5 — The story outlines how a simple mistake can disrupt your day, and a good conversation starter.

*2013-08-29, version 1.2.4*

After reading this I felt the need to write a positive review to outweigh the negative ones I read. The app has been developed well, it is clean and easy to use. There is original artwork and several interactive areas on each page of the book along with appropriate sound at good volumes. There are a number of settings available so the app can be adjusted to your appropriate age as well as read along text, incorporated games and other fun additions for kids to play with.  I only wanted the story to be longer!

### 5/5 — Fantastic App!

*2012-05-23, version 1.2.1*

My kids love this app! We keep waiting for more like it.

### 5/5 — Cozmo's Day Off

*2012-04-16, version 1.2.1*

I purchased this fun book for my two grandsons, ages 7 & 5. They love triggering the many animations on each page and the ability to record their own voice reading the story or making one up. As well, they had lots of fun changing the tonality of the voice making themselves or the reader sound like chipmunks or a robot. This is a great interactive and beautifully illustrated read-along book for young children.

### 5/5 — Cosmo

*2012-03-12, version 1.2.1*

One of top interactive book app period. Great story, presentation and Hollywood style effects. Around 100 animation effects. Your kids will love it.

### 5/5 — A Truly Interactive Storybook for ALL ages

*2012-03-07, version 1.2.1*

OK - so last week, I was trying to find some Dr. Seuss books that were interactive since his birthday was last week. Well, I stumbled upon a review that spoke of this app very highly and I just had to check it out.  Not taking the reviewer at his word, I downloaded the lite version.  I was instantly hooked!! I HAD to spend the $3.99 and get the full app.  I laughed so hard playing with and reading this app that my son came into my room to see what was so funny.  He curled up next to me (he's not a child either at 14 ~ LOL) and became immediately engrossed with the last page of the app.  So, we started it all over again and now this app has become a family favorite.  I can't wait for Ayars Animation to come up with more interactive story books.  Not only are all 3 books extremely interactive but they are clean and wholesome and fun for any age group.  Get this app and enjoy this book and share it with all your friends; I did b/c I couldn't resist sharing this experience with the readers of my blog and FB page. I can't imagine anyone not liking this app.  Ayar Animations does a magnificant job of engrossing it's readers with this high quality app.  Thanks for all your hard work and creativity.  I can't wait 2c what u plan on doing next! May God Bless you.

### 5/5 — Cozmo - 10stars!

*2012-01-01, version 1.2.1*

This is fantastic!!!!!!  My 4 yr old loves it (& so do I). So many things to discover.  Color & pictures are beautifully done. I am telling anyone who will listen to have a look- well worth the $$$.

I can not find another app as good with interactive as this one!  Well done Ayars, shame your other apps aren't as good as this.

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2011-12-17, version 1.2.1*

Both my children love it.

### 5/5 — Best interactive book on the marketplace

*2011-12-10, version 1.2.1*
