As it has blended perfectly with the School Curiculum !!!!!!! *2012-08-25, version 1.5* The series so impressed my daughter's teacher, that the whole teacher group wants not only the access available to the kids but have taken up a lease deal.

As a reading teacher and parent I highly recommend this app! The topics are appealing to children and help build background knowledge. I adore the recording feature, the kids LOVE hearing their own voice in the story and it is a wonderful way to build fluency. Totally worth the money! ### 5/5 — Awesome app! *2012-07-26, version 1.5* Beautiful, colorful pictures, nicely narrated, and great selection of topics. Thank you for such great books! ### 5/5 — Reading books *2012-06-29, version 1.5* I am really looking forward to using this app. with my first grade students. As beginning readers, students will benefit from the read to me version. Others that are already reading, will be able to read the print themselves. The pictures are engaging and the stories are very child friendly. I am also a grandmother and I will certainly enjoy using the app with my granddaughter. ### 5/5 — I like books *2012-06-29, version 1.5* Love these books, my first graders love them too! Keep up the great work and for keeping kids excited about reading! ### 5/5 — One of my favorite Apps! *2012-06-25, version 1.5* One of my favorite Apps!

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. ### 1/5 — Fix naked picture *2013-07-19, version 1.5* Please replace the 'famous drawing' in the I Like Drawing book. I'm sure a more appropriate picture can be used instead. I am reluctant to let my young students use this terrific app until this is addressed. Thank you! UPDATE: PLEASE REPLACE the drawing by Michelangelo (naked man) in the 'I Like Drawing' book. ### 1/5 — I like books *2012-06-13, version 1.5* Am getting no sound,virtual waste of time and effort. . ### 1/5 — sound? *2012-04-21, version 1.5* I'm not getting sound. I've checked the settings, but maybe I'm missing something. Sound is working on other apps. ### 1/5 — doesn *2012-04-19, version 1.5* I was so excited about this app and I'm so disappointed. It wasn't cheap and it causes my ipad to crash almost everytime I try to open the app. I also spent a good deal of time rewriting one of the stories and adding my own voice for my daughter. Now it won't even open that book and causes the app to crash everytime she tries to open it. What a waste of money! ### 2/5 — Too big, typo in one of the books *2011-10-16* I have installed and removed this app so many times. I want to love it, but it takes up so much space on my devices and I noticed a typographical error on one of the books, which I don't like since an app that helps with reading should have the words spelled correctly. It would be better to be able to just pick the books you like or pick 5 at a time and get to change them. ### 2/5 — I Like Series *2011-09-05, version 1.0* The good: The idea of a series of books that follows the "I Like" theme is great. Some story lines are engaging. The books provide great opportunities for discussion. I enjoyed the positive aspect and theme. The bad: i) Function not working - touch screen to repeat words (I was advised this will be fixed soon) ii) No interactivity. For example, in the "I Like Animals" book, no animals were identified. I didn't even recognize some of the animals. It would be helpful to have the ability to touch screen to identify the animals. iii) Limited customization. Cannot insert pictures. For example, it would be fun to include your own picture of Mom or Dad or Grandma,etc. ### 3/5 — I love dad *2013-02-07, version 1.5* I like the app but be careful of correct grammar. Check out book on Dad - on a second page it should be 'me' not 'I' ### 3/5 — Grammar *2012-03-13, version 1.5* Great books. Grammar error in I love Mom is unacceptable. She let's go should be she lets go. Mom is letting go, allowing the child to leave. She is not going with the child, as in let us go...let's go is contraction for let us. Please correct and edit your stories. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good *2019-10-08, version 2.0* It helps us read so get the app ### 5/5 — Remarkable *2016-02-23, version 1.5* A terrific set of with beautiful photos and options for enjoying the books. 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! ### 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. ### 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. ### 5/5 — Awsome *2013-07-21, version 1.5* Love it ### 5/5 — Great value, great educational capacity *2013-04-13, version 1.5* Our son started to really get into this app around 2 & 3/4 years. It's great for teaching spelling and encouraging reading. Really like the value of getting so many books at once. Thanks! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2013-01-03, version 1.5* I love all the books at my fingertips. Great pictures. I do wish there was one page per slide with one sentence. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
