App shuts down iPad

When my son tries to create stories, the app rarely works and if it does work it freezes his iPad for hours afterwards. Waste of money.

Preschool to Teens

Pictello is an app that is useful in so many venues. Make stories with preschoolers about there day, activities, and people they love. Use it for older youngsters to tell stories and read aloud. It is so useful with those non-speaking with voice output. Everything can be personalized. It’s a really inexpensive and highly versatile app. I love it!
