### 5/5 — Wonderful!

*2013-05-09, version 3.5.2*

I bought a subscription for my Granddaughter's 6th birthday. I was able to see the magazine online on my IPAD. It is just an amazing, colorful, informative magazine! I am really enjoying the "Little Cats" edition!! My Granddaughter's going to love it too! It's one of the best gifts I could have found for her! Thank you Zoobooks!!

### 5/5 — Great!

*2013-04-04, version 3.1.0*

I subscribed printed ones for my kids and then received an email which said I could download digital ones as well for free. My children can view them on our iPad now. Love it!

### 5/5 — Zoobooks

*2013-03-07, version 3.1.0*

Absolutely awesome! Great for kids, entertaining and educational, my kids even used it for a school project.

### 5/5 — Great for kids

*2013-02-12, version 3.1.0*

I would recommend a Zoobooks subscription to anyone with kids.  I love the magazines for cutting out favorite pictures and also the digital version for extras such as videos.

### 5/5 — This is a great app for teachers

*2013-02-07, version 3.1.0*

I subscribe to the print version for my class library. Now I can share pages with the whole class by showing it from my iPad with a projector.

### 4/5 — Authentication failed

*2013-02-07, version 3.1.0*

Cannot view digital copies. Keeps saying "authentication failed" Hopefully this is fixes so I can actually use this app.

Update: authentication now works. My kids enjoy the app.

### 1/5 — DO NOT BUY THIS!

*2016-05-22, version 3.5.2*

I saw a few reviews saying that the app doesn't work but figured it was only a couple so I would try it anyway. I paid $20 for the subscription and we can only look at the first 2 pages of each magazine before it crashes!!  I have 2 very upset children who were looking forward to this subscription and it doesn't work!  Of course Zoobooks says its Apples fault and won't give me my $$ back.

### 1/5 — Very poor quality app

*2016-03-26, version 3.5.2*

We have a Zoobooks print and digital and print subscription. The app is useless. The interface is awful, and looks like it was from 10 years ago, but even worse it ignores the fact that I have a subscription and constantly prompts me to subscribe. Then when I close the annoying popup the app crashes.

### 1/5 — Keeps crashing

*2015-12-31, version 3.5.2*

Just received a subscriptions to the magazine and downloaded the apps for my girls on their iPads.  IT KEEPS CRASHING!  So disappointed.

### 1/5 — Customer service is horrible

*2015-06-24, version 3.5.2*

I bought a subscription for my daughter and can't login to get more issues. I've contacted the company and they said it was Apples fault. I contacted Apple and they said I need to contact the developer of the app. They gave me a link to some Chinese dance game.

### 1/5 — Awful user experience, good content

*2014-08-30, version 3.5.2*

The sign in process as an existing subscriber is horrendous. No feedback on the call to server progress or descriptive error messages, it lags significantly before the first time you can login and then shows a phantom error message. Others have remarked that it shows ads and interrupts the reading of the issue even though we've already subscribed to the print version.  The app should be smart enough to not show ads since this information is available to the app through our account. The interface also needs to be brought into the standards provided in ios7. It looks like this app hasn't been touched in years and looks out of place.

### 1/5 — Videos don't work

*2013-05-03, version 3.1.0*

I just downloaded this magazine and was excited to flip through the pages, but I was very disappointed to find that none of the videos work and freeze the page on a black screen when opened. Very annoying.

### 1/5 — Authentication Failed

*2013-04-25, version 3.1.0*

Same as above. I even called zoo books and customer service said they can't help. I ordered a 2 yr subscription months ago and just received an email saying they were sorry it was a computer glitch. Very disappointed! Now I have no zoo books and no digital copy!

### 2/5 — Customer service stinks

*2013-07-23, version 3.5.2*

Been waiting 6 months to access online subscription. Customer service NO HELP. Finally got it working and only see 4 mags. Aren't we supposed to see our whole 2 years' worth? I have mixed feelings about this app.

### 3/5 — Ads??

*2014-06-17, version 3.5.2*

I paid for a subscription, so why is there advertising in the middle of the book, breaking up the pages and frustrating my son who just wants to read it??

### 4/5 — Zoo books digital

*2013-08-21, version 3.5.2*

I got the books for the great grands..so I get the digital version.....it is great!  The parents say the kids like their books...Uc

### 5/5 — FINALLY!!!

*2016-09-30, version 5.5.1*

Now I'm able to view on my iPhone 7 and iPad Pro and best of all, it's iOS 10 compatibility! 5 stars!

### 5/5 — Great to enjoy together

*2013-11-22, version 3.5.2*

My son and I both enjoy reading zoo books together and we both learn something. The pictures and illustrations are on point and really help to make the concepts clear and understandable.

### 5/5 — Great Stuff!

*2013-09-25, version 3.5.2*

Very, very interesting with a lot of great information. Not only will a science-minded child love Zoobooks, so will any child.

### 5/5 — Just great

*2013-06-24, version 3.5.2*

Love the ap and the magazine. The picture quality is awesome, my daughter loves the books and she enjoys reading them both ways.

### 5/5 — Great magazine

*2013-06-21, version 3.5.2*

A great magazine on the iPad!  I tend to like something paper based in my hands when I read.  However, my daughter loves the iPad..  Content of the mag is very interesting and photos are amazing!

### 5/5 — Awesome

*2013-05-24, version 3.5.2*

The magazine is even better on the ipad! So colorful!
