### 2/5 — Almost good

*2011-10-25, version v1.8*

Although the illustrations are beautiful, the language used by the storyteller is not correct. The story was obviously translated to English and uses some incorrect or awkward words and phrases. I found this to be true of all the stories I downloaded from this company. Very disappointing. I've had to delete them.

### 1/5 — Shocking

*2011-04-01, version v1.5*

This has shocking English and is not the sort of thing to help your child become better at speaking and grammar. Avoid.

### 1/5 — Awful English

*2011-04-01, version v1.5*

We have a lot of bilingual bookapps - the best ones are edited and read by native speakers of each language (Mandarin/English)
This book, just by looking at the screen shots above, was never edited by a native English speaker.  There are not only terrible mistakes, the story is lost in this poor translation. There are other great bilingual bookapps out there - look at those before spending money on this one.

### 2/5 — Bad reading

*2011-04-01, version v1.5*

I think that the bad reading /ascent kills it,  it's Pinocchio, not " pewqouw,  or what every that was...  other wise it's a great book,

### 5/5 — very interesting story

*2011-03-04, version v1.5*

very interesting story,very good book

### 1/5 — Peter

*2011-02-13, version v1.2*

Pinocchio's Daring Journey : this may well be advertised as being:
 - a children's classic story and a reading experience - this is simply not accurate unless of course you are in any way interested in your children reading the revised story in a pigeon english. However, if you at all interested in your children readin the story as we know it, in a written word that is good English or listening to a language they can understand then this app is not for you.
It also states the story has a unique sound, and I can confirm this is true !

APPLE : should not you be inform your members, or better still putting books in categories by language.

Regards.

### 1/5 — Awful

*2011-02-09, version v1.0*

This is not worth the 99 cents it costs. The pronunciation is awful and they do not even pronoun Pinocchio anywhere near close. The colors are pretty but the acting of the voices is awful.

### 5/5 — 经典的故事,漂亮的插图,优美的配音

*2011-02-07, version v1.0*

经典的故事,漂亮的插图,优美的配音,是不错的选择

### 1/5 — Not good

*2011-02-05, version v1.0*

This is a very bad translation to English. Not for little kids cuz you can barely understand the English, and therefore the story is nonsensical. The interactive part is good but should invest in having a native English speaker translate and do the narration.

### 5/5 — 很好的故事书，小朋友很喜欢！

*2011-02-04, version v1.0*

很好的故事书，小朋友很喜欢！感觉色彩有点不够生动！

### 1/5 — Horrible

*2019-04-16, version 19.6*

First all
1 the app is horrible 
2 my doll has a tantrum because at the end Pinocchio didn't turn into a real boy
3  the words are hard to understand 
4 the story is wrong first all at the end Pinocchio was suppose to turn into  a real boy 
5  warning never get this app
I hate this app bye Disney books are so many times better

### 1/5 — Pinnochio

*2011-12-18, version v2.0*

Total waste of money!!!! The way English is spoken is dreadful and an obvious translation from an Asian language. Pronunciation is very bad and background voices make it difficult to listen to. Do not waste your money on this.

### 1/5 — Nonsense and poor English

*2011-08-13, version v1.8*

The story is gibberish and the grammar throughout is shocking.  Buying this app was to help teach my child to read, there is little point doing that incorrectly.  

Talking of using a dead child's skin to make a drum!? WTF.

The animations are rudimentary and just repeated/resized throughout.  The 'interaction' is highly-limited.

I will stick to using poisson rouge's site and similar.

Worst paid-for app on Market.

### 1/5 — Pinocchio's Daring Journey

*2011-08-12, version v1.8*

Do not buy this . The narration is done in horrible broken English, barely understandable . I bought it after enjoying Aladdin by the same company and was very disappointed!!

### 1/5 — Later

*2011-07-09, version v1.8*

Very poor grammar/translation on this one--wait for a newer version.

### 1/5 — Save your money

*2011-05-30, version v1.8*

1. The narrator is extremely hard to understand with the heavy (hard to determine) accent.
2. Gipeto is the father on one page and then the grandfather on the next
3. The main character's name is pronounced COMPLETELY differently than what is spelt
4. The story is extremely bad
5. Need I say more
6. Again, need I say more

### 1/5 — bad bad bad....

*2011-04-02, version v1.5*

I downloaded this app then previewed it on my i pad & immediately deleted it. will not let my 5 year old listen to this. if the reading could be done in English by an English speaking person & the grammatical errors are fixed & the word "hell" removed. i would consider this story. narrator cannot even pronounce Pinnochio..pittiful!

it deserves no stars but since thats not an option it gets one....

### 1/5 — I downloaded this as a party joke 我把这当笑话下载

*2011-04-02, version v1.5*

English in all its glory here... Oops... I mean Chinglish. The worst of all educational materials but the best of laughs at a party.

If you get this for your kid, forget it. You are destroying his or her future English diction.

经典大陆式英语。没料还敢出英文电子书？！简直是误人子弟！你们会有报应的！

不过，把这当笑话看待到十分恰当！哈哈哈哈哈！

### 1/5 — Very bad

*2011-04-02*

The grammar and written English are terrible in places.
The person speaking aloud does not seem to be able to speak English very well.

My recommendation is to not download and I would never pay money for any of the updates or other books in the series.

### 1/5 — Worst English!

*2011-04-01, version v1.5*

This book is horrible.  The narrator can't even pronounce certain words correctly.  The graphic is so nice, why not try to find someone who has a command in English!

### 5/5 — Awful narration and voices

*2011-10-18, version v1.8*

The voices have a terribly thick Asian accent!  I don't want my son learning to talk English that way. I was so upset when I heard the narration. I want my money back!
