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. It only happens with this app and no other app. It’s never done that before and only started doing it after the latest update. ### 2/5 — Ulan *2026-05-13, version 3.19.0* Okulda zorla kitap okutturuyolar düzgün kitap yok yav ### 3/5 — Great app, but was sad when they removed Disney content *2025-03-04* I love this app and that you can do activities with in some of the books and touch the pictures in the story to interact with them which you can’t do on a lot of reading apps now, but my issue is when they removed the Disney story books from the app Even though I found some other decent books on the app. It’s still kind of sucked.

However it stopped working a couple of days ago on our iPad and any attempts to contact their support remain unanswered ### 1/5 — (•__•) *2022-11-07, version 2.4.6* Ugly trashy ### 1/5 — Worst app ever *2021-03-07, version 2.2.3* App is free but then you need to create an account and pay a subscription. ### 1/5 — Just one thing *2020-11-21, version 2.2.0* I have one problem: I tried to read a book but it only showed the name of the company who made the book/film please help me ### 3/5 — Good app, shame it can’t be used across iPads *2020-08-11, version 2.1.0* Looks good and works well, but shame subscriptions cannot be used across different iPads in the the family. ### 1/5 — Can’t cancel *2020-05-04, version 2.0.8* This app is not allowing me to cancel. ### 1/5 — Poo *2020-04-15, version 2.0.7* I hate this ### 4/5 — 🎼 *2020-03-09, version 2.0.3* 🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼 ### 4/5 — Fantastic app but needs a few tweaks *2019-11-21, version 1.80.8* Just downloaded this app. So far it is fantastic and a really good idea. My 5 year old is having a great time reading the books and any words he doesn’t know he can just tap on the word and it tells him. It has all the oxford reading books (biff and chip) as well as so many others. However, there a few frustrating things that could be tweaked. Firstly the only way I can see to set his reading level is by age. Now some 5 year olds will be reading chapter books whilst others will still be reading the very basics. There is no way to set a rough reading stage only how old he is. I couldn’t even change his age and ended up having to delete his profile and make him a year younger in order to easily find some slightly simpler books. Secondly, once you have set an appropriate age and the app suggest books for your child, you can’t clearly tell the stage until you download and open the book. Each book does have a level but the levels are quite bizarre and not helpful. A photo of one of the pages of the book so you can see exactly what level would be helpful. Ie is it 1-2 basic words a page or whole paragraphs etc. Also, on the overview screen there are just images of the front covers no indication of what level they are and no way to group them eg easy readers, developing, advanced reading etc. Lastly, if we open a book and decide it’s not suitable or what we want, there is no easy way to close it and go back. You have to scroll to the very end and finally the option to go back to the home screen appears. This is very annoying in short books so must be a nightmare with older readers and chapter books. ### 1/5 — Not impressed...quality or functionality or support *2017-10-18, version 1.62* Inconsistent functionality in iPhone version, iPad version and even web version. It won't recognize your login and won't allow you to access the content after upgrades. Basically take your subscription and not be able to deliver the service. The only way seems to be able to contact the support was by FB messaging however it was slow and not showing any improvement. I am very disappointed because it does have a great selection and my daughter loves it so much.. Hope it will improve and have a better app. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Bok gibi *2026-03-21, version 3.18.0* Kitaplar kötü bok gibi ### 1/5 — Problem *2025-03-05, version 3.3.0* Not working ### 1/5 — İğrenç bir uygulama *2025-02-22, version 3.3.0* Girilmiyo zaten Okadar gereksiz bir uygulamaki beyenmedim ### 1/5 — YOK YOK YOK YOK YOK 📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖 *2025-02-09, version 3.3.0* KİTAPLAR YOKKİTAPLAR YOK KİTAPLAR YOK 📖 ✖️ KİTAPLAR YOK 📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️ AACİL DÜZELTİN 📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖📖📖📖✖️📖📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖YOK YOK YOK YOK YOK YOK KİTAP YOK SİZ NASIL 5 YILDIZ VERDİNİZ YAV YAV KİTAP YOKKKKKKK 📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️YOK YOK YOK YOK YOK YOK YOK YOK YOK YOK YOK YOK YOK ÇILDIRICAM YA ÇOK GICIK OLDUM ✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️📖✖️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️❗️ ### 1/5 — Pickatale *2025-01-30, version 3.2.0* Not opening at all nothing in it ### 1/5 — Olumsuz *2025-01-11, version 3.1.0* Giriş yapılamıyor ### 1/5 — App crashes everytime *2025-01-04, version 3.1.0* Everytime you click on “listen and read” the story downloads and the app crashes right after so you can’t listen or read any of the books.
