### 2/5 — Nope

*2025-11-02, version 5.9.2*

This app was recommended as a very good app for writing Children’s books. The frustrating issue is that there is no tutorial! I am tech enough to get me into trouble so I need something a little simpler. If you charge for apps, then please help out your customers by guiding them step-by-step! I worked with AI to get me started. I wanted to cut/paste text into the book page, can’t do it! Stupid and frustrating. If you love to write but don’t want the hassle, DO NOT GET THIS APP!

### 1/5 — Dreadful

*2024-08-09, version 5.9.2*

Removed from my system = unusable

### 5/5 — Need to be able to make Different Color Backgrounds besides White

*2024-07-09*

Great 👍 App but needs to be able to make various color backgrounds other than White. How do you do it 🤔

### 2/5 — ebook duplicate und ffehler

*2024-02-13*

Wenn man ein ebook dupliziert gehen alle footnotes verloren. Das gleiche gilt für ebooks die man wieder importiert nach dem erstellen. ebooks in Apple Bücher hochgeladen werden korrekt dargestellt, aber in Kindle oder Tolino werden footnotes nicht korrekt dargestellt.

**Developer response:** Can you send email to support?

### 2/5 — Not for me

*2023-10-07*

I thought this app would help me edit pages in my existing ebook, but I feel it won’t improve my workflow. If I would use it, I would have to do things differently, and I feel I would be stuck using the app: it would be hard to export my book for use with the apps I’m currently using.
I wish I could have tried it out before paying for it.

**Developer response:** You can always export your book as ePub, pdf, or zip file by tapping Publish button. 
You can also ask for support via email.

### 1/5 — Made more work for me

*2023-09-19*

I tried to adjust font size. Apparently there are only 2 font sizes available; way too small and way too big. There is no Undo or revert option that I could find. It ruined all of the formatting I spent days on and I couldn’t undo

**Developer response:** Can you email your request to support to check the problem ?

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2023-04-17, version 5.7*

The first app I’ve used to try and put a book together and it has absolutely everything anyone would need and a whole lot more! Very easy to get the hang of as well, strongly recommend you start here if you are new to e-publishing, you need nothing else than this app can give you. 🙏 creative book builder.

### 1/5 — Verdächtige App

*2022-06-18*

Beim installieren dieser App, öffnen sich die MP4 Video-Dateien mit dieser App!!! Warum??? Was haben Ebooks mit Videos zu tun?? Sofort gelöscht!

**Developer response:** You can insert mp4 video into Creative Book Builder

### 5/5 — Präsentationstool für Lehre und Verkauf

*2022-03-24*

Sehr leistungsfähiges Präsentationstool mit zahlreichen Exportmöglichkeiten zu einem konkurrenzlosen Preis. - Multimediale Präsentionen erstellen und z.B. als html5 website exportieren. - Einzige Kritikpunkte: In der Bedienung manchmal etwas sperrig und gelegentliche Abstürze. - Für Lehrer und zur Porduktdarstellung sehr geeignet.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your comments

### 3/5 — Very Well Made

*2022-03-20, version 5.6*

Well made app with lots of settings. I wish it could just import pdf files.
