I work with kids with severe autism and the ability to customize items is a boon. I must say that when I've attempted to rewrite completely, I've succeeded in crashing the app . . . but this may not be a concern for most users. ### 5/5 — Good app!! *2014-06-04, version 1.5* I asked my daughter to listen to and learn from it. Great app! ### 4/5 — Really well liked *2014-02-05, version 1.5* Great app, with a wide range of topics to choose from. Something to interest every toddler ### 5/5 — Great reading app! *2014-01-01, version 1.5* My son loves this! I work in education I highly recommend this app for all parents to use at home, good for sp needs kids too. I will be recommending this app to our school. The only bad thing is its American spelling ### 5/5 — Well loved. *2013-10-29, version 1.5* My four year old loves this app. ### 1/5 — Problem *2013-10-18, version 1.5* Sound doesn't work...? ### 5/5 — Excellent! *2013-08-25, version 1.5* This app is fantastic! Only a few things I can think that would make it even better. One is the option to hold the iPad vertically so the books with two open pages could have larger images and text by showing only one page at once. Another potential feature would be the ability to create your own books to add to the bookshelf. Lastly, 37 is a great amount of books but I'd love if you continued to add more even if it were to cost extra for an additional set. ### 5/5 — I like books *2013-07-29, version 1.5* My kids love all the books , and the different ways we can read them. ### 1/5 — Misleading Description *2013-07-28, version 1.5* Says fully customizable, including photos, not true! Unlike their other apps you can't change the photos, thereby useless in my opinion. Wrote to them about this and never got an answer. What a shame. Want my $1.99 back. ## Frequently asked questions about I Like Books ### What is "I Like Books"? "I Like Books" is a digital collection of 37 interactive picture books for children aged 0 to 6.
