She enjoys the stories just as I did and she loves the interaction. ### 5/5 — Easy Access To 75+ Book Apps!!!! *2014-05-15* Easy Access To 75+ Book Apps!!!! All non-Dr. Seuss Books by OM conveniently in one location!!! Even if the individual App icons are not in the same Folder on your home screen they are all detected by this Bookshelf App so you can easily find the ones you have purchased and are currently installed, making them Super Easy to Find!!! ### 5/5 — Love the layout! *2014-02-17* Love the layout and that it has different reading options! ### 5/5 — very good *2014-02-10* easy use and very good ### 5/5 — Nice *2014-01-01* Well organized and easy to use. ### 5/5 — Good *2013-10-25* Good ### 5/5 — Grand kids love this app! *2013-08-19* Grand kids like that I can record my voice. ### 5/5 — perfect *2013-08-03* perfect ### 5/5 — Very good! *2013-05-10* Very good! ### 5/5 — Very good *2013-05-08* I am using this app for learning English. It is very good for me. ### 5/5 — Great app for 5 years old kids *2013-04-28* my 5 years old son love it. He loves to read the books. It is funnnnnn! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — One row *2018-12-17* Two rows to sell books. One row for your books. One row for favorites. An iOS folder is better. Lame. ### 1/5 — Good BUT... *2013-01-13* Sorting by price $0.99 results in apps that are really $1.99! Seems almost like they are trying to pull one over on us... ### 2/5 — A bit boring *2013-04-28* The language is old fashioned in parts. One example is the use of the words 'chaps'. How do explain that to a two year old! The story really is boring because of that. ### 3/5 — Designed to promote book sales, not child reading *2016-10-10* This app is organized and easy to use. My five and three-year-old are able to use it with no trouble. However, there is no way to hide the "Store" from the home screen. There is an option to "lock the Store", and then all of the books are still visible, but gray and inaccessible. The difficulty that I have with this app is that it doesn't allow my children to contentedly look through the books that we own. They are perpetually excited about a new book that I have not purchased. Even if it is gray, they can still see it and are excited to access it. It would be better if there were a feature to hide the store completely until I, the parent, want to access it. ### 3/5 — Not for older school age kids! *2013-04-12* As an educator I was disappointed that there are so few options for 9-12 year olds. Bernstein Bears? Really? The Smithsonian books were the only worthwhile choices. ### 4/5 — Keeping an eye on this *2025-12-02* I love having everything in one place instead of having to look for each separate title. However, this app is missing my school edition Dr. Seuss treasury books. Also I thought I had a collection of Little Critter books that I bought outright, but the only one that comes up is a subscription based one. Actually I have been through my collection and through looking at apps I used to have the OM bookshelf fails to display any of my many Dr. Seuss apps and MANY apps that have since been removed from the App Store. Why on earth should they disappear from our bookshelf when we bought them? There are missing Tacky books, Elmer books, Monkey books, Little Critrer books, The Kissing Hand is the missing, Berenstain bears…so many are missing. This is not helping me access all of my OM books as it was intended, which is very disappointing. ### 4/5 — Keeping an eye on this *2025-06-18* I love having everything in one place instead of having to look for each separate title. However, this app is missing my school edition Dr. Seuss treasury books. Also ai thought I had a collection of Little Critter books that I bought outright, but the only one that comes up is a subscription based one. ### 4/5 — Just Grandma and Me *2022-08-10* I was a little disappointed that this app was not interactive like the game but it is still a great reading book with strong vocabulary skills. ### 4/5 — OM Book App *2014-07-31* I watch a friend's 2 yr. old and she can read thru books on her own, even choosing another story all on her own. She is so proud of herself! Little Critter & Berenstain Bears rock! ### 4/5 — Good app for beginner readership *2013-06-25* This app is great for beginner readers. Makes reading fun for kids ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — (^_^) *2026-07-13* very good！ ### 5/5 — People who like to find lost media will love this *2025-07-12, version 1.3.3* If you somehow can find this app that’s great because it is the only way to find old OM books now almost lost to time so this could be really helpful for people who are looking for lost media and books so if you can find this one way or another please get it I have been getting the OM Dr Seuss read and play since I was little and now I’m a 10 year old boy going to grade 5 I was just in grade 4 so I hope I teach you something today sooooo bye 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😁😁😁😁😁😁 ### 5/5 — James *2025-06-20* James ### 5/5 — I’m going to go to my moms to see her and then *2023-09-12* I have to go to my moms and get some stuff ### 5/5 — Om bookshelf *2023-02-12* This App Is GREAT! ### 5/5 — I love it *2020-02-01* So cool like it ### 5/5 — 真不错 *2016-01-12* 对孩子英文帮助很大 ### 5/5 — 值得下载 *2015-12-04* 买了很多书，多点套装折扣就更好了 ### 5/5 — Love *2015-07-04* My son is almost 2 and loves to listen and interact with these stories ### 5/5 — 超级推荐 *2015-02-03* 非常非常推荐这款app，英文故事，无论画面还是发音都超棒！找了很久没有满意的，终于被我发现，宝宝现在听不懂我都喜欢没事打开玩玩～ --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
