### 5/5 — Great App!

*2021-11-25*

My grandchildren love this animated book. It engages the kids for an appropriate amount of time. The music is soothing and the animated figures are very lively.  I recommend it to kids of all ages.

### 2/5 — sound no longer works

*2019-12-14*

used to work, but what was a great app seemingly isn’t supported anymore.

### 5/5 — No sound on any loud crow book

*2019-05-06*

### 1/5 — Scam

*2018-12-25*

This app crashed 10X in 2 min. I feel my money has been stolen.

### 2/5 — Freezing

*2018-12-25*

This app froze 8 times...

### 5/5 — 3 little boys loved it

*2018-12-24*

Lots of interactive pictures on each page for little fingers to play with. Very professional Voice over and excellent illustrations.

### 5/5 — Playful

*2018-12-19, version 1.7*

and inviting. A lovely adaptation that keeps the “olden-day” feel in a modern media.

### 2/5 — Where is the music?

*2017-12-30*

The story and visuals are great but where’s the music or read to me option? It’s selected and not working. iPad Pro 11.2

### 4/5 — Great app however...

*2017-12-25*

Wonderful graphics. I love the vintage look and feel to the book however, it froze three times, causing me to have to restart the app completely. Running a IPhone 8 with the most recent update so that isn’t the issue. A little frustrating having a app be a little glitchy after paying $4... otherwise I really like the look/“feel” of the story.
