As a pilot, I was hoping for a fun app for my kids that incorporated a little more than just the very fundamentals. Graphics were lame, and I expected some education on parts of the aircraft and what they do - at the very least. This was utterly boring for my toddler, who is enamored with airplanes, but walked away after 20 seconds. ### 1/5 — Meh *2014-07-04* My kid played this for 30 seconds. ### 1/5 — Freezes *2012-03-23* The app froze my sons iPad and I wasn't able to power the iPad down. Did not get the opportunity to finish the book before it crashed. Be careful and aware of this. ### 4/5 — 2 year old loves this app *2015-01-13* My son is turning 2 tomorrow and is obsessed with airplanes. He enjoys this app so much. He loves clicking the arrow to the next page and clicking on the planes and jets and helicopters and repeating the names back over and over again. His almost 5 year old sister enjoys watching along and helping, though he doesn't typically need any help. Great, colorful pictures! A tiny little airplane enthusiast's dream! ### 4/5 — Has charm *2012-04-28, version 1.08.1* Basic, but sweet story telling ### 4/5 — Great book. *2012-04-09, version 1.08.1* Our 16 month old loves this. Very well done, nice clear graphics and good sound, with some nice interactivity on the pages. ### 4/5 — Planes are fun *2012-03-28* Fun app and easy for map boys to navigate. Love the sounds! ### 5/5 — My students will love it! *2020-09-17* We are learning about the letter A and I thought it would be good to talk about airplanes. This is the perfect app to keep my preschoolers with special needs engaged. I love the colorful pictures, the animations and the narrators voice. ### 5/5 — My daughter loves arranging the planes on each page! *2012-11-14* Great use of touch technology to make this book come alive! ### 5/5 — Great book app for a toddler. *2012-04-11* Got this for my 16 month old and he loves it. I also got the other Byron Barton book: Boats. ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Planes *2012-04-09* We love this app. Very reasonably priced. ### 5/5 — Great *2012-04-06, version 1.08.1* It's great! ### 5/5 — 2.5 yr old LOVES this! *2012-03-31* As a Mom of a little boy who loves all things with wings or wheels I can say that I highly recommend this app. Oceanhouse Media never fails to impress and the price...WHAT A STEAL! Enjoy! ### 5/5 — Wonderful interactive story! *2012-03-23* Wow! This story is wonderful! I really love how interactive it is and how simple the animations are to move. My kids enjoyed being able to interact and be right in the story with all the different ways we use airplanes! I would highly recommend this app. ### 5/5 — Love Byron Barton *2012-03-15* This is great for my 4 yr old. He loves the book and has really enjoyed playing with the app and bringing the book alive. Please release more! Trucks is his favorite!!! ### 5/5 — Great app for young kids *2012-03-15* The illustrations are fantastic and the animations are really fun. My son loved flying the planes himself and moving around the clouds. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
