The Three Little Pigs

The app is interesting.

Used to work great

Over the past two years this app has been a real disappointment. It stopped working all together awhile back, but now it only half works. Don’t waste your money on the books.

Has potential but not executed

Cool concept but not user friendly what so ever. As an adult it’s frustrating to navigate the layout. Simplicity needs to be a priority with this.

Wonderful App Concept but poor functionality

The interactive App concept is amazing and my kid loves it! But need to enhance the responsiveness of the QR codes as it is taking too long to load and my kid looses interest while waiting. Also, the sound not coming up! I tried checking the speakers and everything is correctly tuned but the sound not coming up! I would suggest enhancing it and adding more activities so we keep purchasing this type of books because we love the idea.

ABC Fun with Mickey

Pretty cool. I wish it did different things each page. It did the same thing just different letters. Except the last page did a magical alphabet show. I also wish I could hear what Mickey was saying. I mean his mouth was moving, clearly saying something. Maybe no moving mouth with no sound or sound with the moving mouth. That would be my advice.

Seems buggy.

Can’t seem to get this to work. Checked my iPad has the right specs. The program downloaded but won’t open.

Could be cool

The app could be cool, but it only works about 30% of the time. My daughter still loves it though.

Won’t let you use without microphone permissions

Doesn’t work well, asks for too many unnecessary permissions, adds nothing to the experience

Bad

This app. After I downloaded it it asked me to buy some books and when I scan a book it just takes a picture.

Only good if you are ok to buy stuff on it.

Work on the sound

After using it for over 2 year sound just came on, I was surprised, I didn’t realize that was even a feature. It hasn’t worked again since then.

I love it

My brother got almost all of the books wen we got The app my mind was blown

Not working at all

I have tried using the app and it has failed me for months. The camera to scan the book is black and it doesn’t make a difference by trying front facing camera or rear facing. Hopefully you fix this soon as I have been waiting for months for it to start working again.

Scan cover over and over

All it does is have me scan the cover over and over again. Use to work fine and was able to scan the pages. I’m not sure why it is doing this.

So Good For My 4 Year Old!

I downloaded the app for my toddlers Mickey Mouse book, and scanned the pages with the icon on it, and it came to life! She was very happy with the book and reads it all the time! She has so much fun looking at the letters and Mickey!

Book is amazing. App not so much

The app doesn’t have volume and it just some moving pictures. It’s good starting point but it’s very very basic.

Stuck on loading

App will not load past 68%. Will this be fixed?

App stops loading.

I have successfully downloaded the app but once I open it, the app stops loading at 69% all the time. I don’t think there’s an internet connection issue because I have a strong wifi connection.

Not loading

I’ve tried downloading the app on my iPad and my phone. After downloading and opening the app, it gets stuck on the loading screen about 69% and keeps telling me that my internet isn’t working when I know that it is.

Velveteen Rabbit
