Bad App on IPad

I had a lot of problems downloading this app. Crashes, won't download completely, and then I try to delete it, it just keeps trying to download a non-functioning version. I still cannot delete this app and it still tries to download every week for over three months now!

Knocked My Socks Off

Wow! Loved the augmented reality features of this book and app. So many different ways to interact with the story and work on emerging skills. I am excited that this is the direction books are taking!

Questionable App

When I open this game app it turns on my camera...a little scary for children loading these games!!! it makes me question what this app is being used for...I have tried numerous times to load this app and it does the same thing each time on my new iPad...would highly advise against downloading this app...it makes me feel like someone is spying on my family!!!

Mind Blowing!

This is simply one of the coolest things I've ever seen, it really blew my mind. The guys behind this app and game think on a whole different level. There's not much out there to compare it too (that I know of), but I found the whole concept to be very well done. From the visuals, to the sound effects/voices and music, it was very high quality and the use is very intuitive.

The best proof though came from my three oldest kids (8, 6 and 4) who all took turns with it. They were hooked immediately. It not only provides them with a lot of enjoyment, but has also given my wife and I new leverage to encourage good behavior. "No Rocks in My Socks if you don't behave." works like a charm.

Really great stuff, I would highly recommend it.

Revolutionary!

This is the coolest thing I've seen in a long time! Besides the fact that the game itself is a lot of fun, I absolutely love the idea of making books fun and interactive like this for kids. This has so much potential, it's exciting just to think about it. Cant wait to hear/see more!
