And they only left three of them in there, which kind of stunk. It was like one day I was listening to Disney stories on the app and the next day they were gone. Other than that it teaches you so many things that other apps don’t. And I also love the simplicity of the books. Just don’t like how much of a pain it is to search for books you want to read but overall great app. update. Now I am having a new problem with this app. It whenever I read an animated book on there my headphones start making a funny noise if I put them up to my phone.
