Absurd subscription model
Any app developers that use an unjustified and absurd subscription model for their apps should be utterly ashamed of themselves. Over £8 a month for this? It’s a short story with some mini games. What are you paying for? What on earth justifies that cost? I see others who paid for the app before the subscription model came into place were then locked out of the content they’d already paid for - every other app I’ve come across that’s had a one off price and later installed a subscription has rightly allowed those who already paid to retain access. Completely unethical. The actual content is fine but there’s not that much to it. A one off price of around £8 would be acceptable. What they’ve put into place is absolutely not.

Обман!!!
Уважаемая администрация магазина, вы куда смотрите? Это же чистой воды обман. Приложение наглейшим образом вытягивает деньги с пользователей.
Вы там вообще чем занимаетесь? Как такое вообще можно пропускать? Это же вам не плеймаркет какой-нибудь!

Насос по выкачиванию денег.
Буквально насос по выкачиванию денег. Раньше Apple любил за то что купил приложение и пользуются. Сейчас вот такое г....но выкачивает по 300руб. В месяц.
Мошенники!
Верните старую версию приложения или верните деньги!
Обидно:(
Мало того, что заплатила за приложение, теперь ещё надо платить каждый месяц за то, что им пользуешься..Ну как так?
SERIOUSLY!?!?
I am aware that this review is EXTREMELY LONG, but if you don’t read this, please AT LEAST immediately run away from this app!!! Thinking of DL’ing and checking it out? Plz read...
This app needs reported to Apple. I PAID for this book 4yrs ago!! I went to redownload again, right where my little cloud showed I’d ALREADY OWNED this. Apparently, some ridiculous money grubbing ppl from a foreign country, now decided that previous owners now only own a few PAGES of this ‘interactive’ book, that demonizes you to your little kids, if you’re NOT VEGAN!! Now, this was sort of in line w/the original, but they stepped it up majorly, with telling little undeveloped brains that are sponges, that you can only be a good person and happy if you do both YOGA and refrain from ALL MEAT.
But wait...that’s not why this app should be reported. It’s cuz ppl PAID FOR THIS IN ITS ENTIRETY, and now we’re not only expected to REPAY TO GET THE BOOK CONTENT ITSELF, BUT THEY REQUIRE A SUBSCRIPTION!! That’s right, you are charged as if you are making a loan payment, because they claim that it is continuously updated w/new content for your young children to be ‘enjoy’, because you know, to teach a child a SPECIFIC way of life, they need to have it continuously pounded into their little brains.
I also looked at the VERSION HISTORY. Since introducing this unheard of SUBSCRIPTION BASED SINGLE STORY BOOK 2 yrs ago, they’ve made about THREE UPDATES, and they were to introduce the new “you no longer own this book, and must SUBSCRIBE” update, and subsequent BUG FIXES!!!
There has been ZERO UPDATES IN OVER A YEAR!!! How many ppl have subscribed and unwittingly never realized that they’re still being charged, or don’t know how to get charges to stop?! I subscribed to an app once, n when I both unsubscribed thru my subscriptions in my iPhone settings, as well as by email, with a confirmation FROM THEM THAT I WOULD NO LONGER BE CHARGED. I even changed my bank’s CREDIT/DEBIT card w/a new number, and they managed to get ahold of my actual bank acct number and continued taking $6.99 a month for over 2 and a half yrs. Yes, I knew n no, they didn’t stop. My bank recommended I close the acct n open another but I have a 6 number one memorized as opposed to a 12 or longer now digit one w/this bank, because it is my first bank acct from a local bank I opened in high school back in 1986. I stayed with repeated buyouts, so I could have such a short number. A determined person at my bank thankfully didn’t give up n understood my reason to not close acct cuz one crooked company, n FINALLY got em to stop w/threat to sue. FYI, the scammers were Big Fish - who any gamer of escape n point n click adventures will not be surprised to hear this. They too made you repay for games you already owned, made titles intentionally no longer available, or else took an old game you’d paid for under another title, and literally just slapped on a new title, so you no longer owned it forever (per their claim), you’d have to repay $7, as they called it a ‘new game’.
I only got into my whole Big Fish ‘saga’, because it seems that with the overload of apps, ppl stealing other devs apps n claiming them as their own, and SO MANY games n apps going with this ridiculous subscription-based model, many ppl are unaware they are still being charged, or they may try to stop the payments n the company continues to charge you, and you end up paying MAJORLY for what was to be for enjoyment.
PLEASE DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP!!
ANY DEV (apparently original company sold this to whomever the greedy current owners are) WHO WOULD DO NOT ONLY TRY TO ‘TRAIN’ YOUR CHILD IN A DEMEANING WAY... being vegan and/or yoga is great, IF it’s your choice, but essentially brainwashing young children is not ok!!!
And ANY DEV WHO WOULD DO ALL THE SHADY THINGS GOING ON HERE, sounds like a UNTRUSTWORTHY company WHO WILL GIVE YOU PROBLEMS IF YOU DID INTENTIONALLY OR ACCIDENTALLY SUBSCRIBE, AND YOU’LL LITERALLY PAY FOR IT. THERE’S A PLETHORA OF INTERACTIVE STORYBOOKS AND COMPANIES/DEVS WHO ARE TRUSTWORTHY. JUST DO NOT CHOOSE THIS ONE!!

Послать бы вас на три великие буквы ***
Купил приложение в 2016 году, теперь оно мне предлагает его ещё раз купить! Почему я снова должен вам платить за то же самое приложение! Нечего нового кроме как выманивание денег на детской игре!!!! Не удивительно что вам так уронили рейтинг игры.
Terrible
After the first time playing, the app becomes useless as there is no point in revisiting the terrible story.
Greedy developers
I bought this app a while ago and the developers now ask for a ridiculously expensive subscription. I can’t access the previously bought content which wasn’t cheap to begin with. I emailed the developers at the time and got a non-answer. Anyway, uninstalling and would give it zero star if I could.
Обман
Верните деньги за покупку! Я купил полную сказку и теперь не могу её досмотреть! Развод и кидалово своих покупателей, которые вас поддержали на старте.

Жадность до добра не доведёт
Хорошее было приложение, когда я купила его в первый раз, пока не разбили его на две главы и не сделали ещё раз платным... 100 евро в год за то, чтобы один раз в поездке ребёнок потыкал пальцем в героев сказки - это бред. А ещё у этого разработчика было приложение со сказкой «Синяя дымка», которое я тоже купила, а оно при открытии пролистывается сразу до последней страницы и никак разраб на мои обращения не отреагировал. А теперь этой сказки нет в Апсторе. Жаль, что нельзя пожаловаться на нечистого на руку и жадного до денег разработчика.

Free to download, not to play
App is free to download but when it starts you have 3 days trial and then $9.99 per month, which is way too much for what this app is. Uninstalled.
Charged Twice???
I know that I paid for this app a few years ago, but I also understand that companies change hands. To the New Developer, can you please explain to me and other prospective buyers what new features would be received with the new $9.99/month subscription?
Horrible
This app would be great but...you have to pay to go anywhere else than in her garden which is tiny : <
Updated review - scam
It seems that this is a scam. Don’t download!!!
I’ll include my original review here, when I purchased it back in 2015 for the full price, and I loved it:
(What an awesome app!
Really like the style, animation and the message of the app!)
And then, the app “updated” and now in order to access the content (that I’ve originally purchased) I need to buy a subscription? What a shame! It’s sad that an app as awesome as the original one got completely destroyed by the new updates (as far as I know the original developer Bobaka sold it to the current greedy folks)

Scam app, do not get.
Downloading this app starts a “free trial” which automatically turns into a $15 a month subscription.
The trial can’t be stopped until the subscription begins.
You can turn off the subscription in iTunes once it starts and you’ve been slugged the $15.
Pity, it looks like a nice app.

Shocked by the amount of the monthly subscription.
