Milli, the curious little snail, goes on a quest to find out what snails do best. The only snail on Apple Tree Hill, she turns to the strange and wonderful creatures she meets every day for answers. On the way she gets sucked into many adventures, but will any one be able to tell her what it is that snails do?

"I wish I could find out, I wish that I knew, I wish someone could tell me what it is that snails do. I know that I am curious and ever so slow, but what makes me, me? Well, I really don’t know." 

Milli and her best friend Miro, the ladybird (who is neither a lady or a bird) set off to learn more about who they are and what they’re good at, and along the way they learn more about the animals they meet. Why is Wanda the Owl so clever, and how does Leon Chameleon hide so well? Find out, right here.

Told in rhyme, through a series of stunning, interactive landscapes, Milli’s adventures on Apple Tree Hill will enthral story-lovers both young and old. The gentle philosophy of the narrative is complemented perfectly by the wonderful, hand-painted illustrations and enchanting animations, creating a poetic, life-like world with so much to discover. 

There is plenty of fun to be had as well - interactive picture elements encourage readers to join in and help shape Milli’s world, while there are always new details to discover.

Integrated, child-oriented game elements, in which Milli fans can help the little snail in her quest to find out who she is, offer even more variety. 

Thanks to her endless curiosity and boundless enthusiasm, Milli makes lots of new friends and finally realises what she is really good at – being helpful.

### 5/5 — Wunderschöne kreative Bilder

*2022-01-18*

Die Bilder sind wunderschön und mit viel Liebe zum Detail. Es gibt viel zu entdecken, was alles animiert ist.
Die Geschichte ist schön - im Gegensatz zu manchen echten Bilderbuch etwas lang. Die Stimme der Sprecherin ist angenehm 

Der Ton hat bei mir auch 2 mal nicht funktioniert. Keine Ahnung woran das lag. Aber es gibt ja die Möglichkeit selbst vorzulesen.

### 1/5 — Ton geht nicht.

*2021-02-21*

Andere Apps bringen Ton, diese nicht.

### 1/5 — Kein Ton

*2019-07-26*

..leider kein Ton...auch nach mehrmaligem Neuinstallieren...
...liegt nicht am Gerät, andere Apps haben Ton...

### 4/5 — Milli: a Small Snail

*2016-07-01*

Delightful story and beautiful illustrations. The volume fades in and out, and that will be problematic when using with children. It sounds as if the narrator moves away from the Mike.

### 1/5 — Leider ohne Ton

*2016-06-15*

Leider läuft die App nur ohne Ton, erneutes Herunterladen hat auch nichts gebracht und auf meine Anfrage beim technischen Support wurde nicht reagiert, schade!

**Developer response:** Liebe Like, der Ton sollte funktionieren. Hast du schon versucht den Ton an deinem Gerät und in der App wieder an und auszuschalten und die Einstellungen an deinem Gerät zu prüfen? Ansonsten kannst du auch versuchen die App zu deinstallieren und diese dann wieder neu aufspielen. Wenn dies auch nicht funktioniert, schreibe uns doch bitte eine E-Mail an die angegebene Adresse und wir versuchen das Problem gemeinsam zu lösen. Allerbeste Grüße

### 5/5 — Wunderbare Schneckenwelt

*2016-03-24*

Ich war begeistert von dem Buch „Das Geräusch einer Schnecke beim Essen“, unsere Kinder von Milli. Ich glaube, Schnecken werden unterschätzt. Tolle Illustrationen, eine Geschichte zum Nachdenken und Mitspielen und ich hatte ganz vergessen, wie viel Spaß es machen kann, Reime vorzulesen. Vielen Dank.

### 5/5 — Toll

*2016-01-08*

### 5/5 — Schnecken Schleim
