### 4/5 — Great stories, some bugs

*2025-07-13, version 3.0.7*

We really enjoy this book app as it has great stories and the audio quality is generally very good. The stories are interactive and fun. Two downsides are that the content doesn’t seem to be updated often and the app is buggy. It works, but it does have bugs. For the subscription cost, I really wish they would improve these two things.

### 1/5 — Proxy server

Download book does not work.  Something wrong with the proxy server keep popping. Not good. 
Does not work

### 1/5 — Not working

*2023-01-07, version 3.0.3*

Not able to connect to download books for the last 3 days. Waste of money. Book choices fairly limited. Better for children under 10

*2017-09-12, version 1.9.6*

咿啦看书是我无意中发现的非常好的故事客户端，里面的故事讲得绘声绘色，超越了平日给儿子听的故事。比起平时听的故事，虽然讲得很好，但是遇到了咿啦看书，儿子更喜欢听了！很值得推荐给所有的宝妈们！内容很丰富，种类也很多！很不错！
