### 5/5 — Great for little kids

*2015-09-06, version 1.1*

Great book for younger kids or kids who have trouble reading.  My son loves science and other non-fiction and can now read at his level.

### 2/5 — not so interactive

*2014-11-18, version 1.1*

This app is more like a book than an app.  Just a few extra images and some videos tossed in.  And for some reason, it feels less compelling than a book.  For the price, I had expected something much more.  

Also, in one of the preview shots, it had a screenshot which showed a setting "read text out loud", which was one of the main reasons I purchased it, bc I was hoping my younger kids would be able to use it without me.  But that function was not available on my app at all.
