### 2/5 — 無料は2コンテンツのみ、課金本の内容も薄い

*2021-10-01, version 1.5.1*

「本棚に本が増える」とありますが、お金を払わなければ増えません。
「プロの読み聞かせ」らしいですが、プロとは何なのでしょう。登場人物によって声を変えているのですがどれも不自然ですし、そもそも発音もあまりよくありません。ここの説明を見るまでAIによる読み上げだと思っていたくらいです。
娘の希望により追加コンテンツを１つ課金してみましたが、他の有料アプリと比較し全く金額に合わないと思いました。
しまじろうブランドなので、もっといいものを作っていただきたいです。

### 1/5 — 内容の更新がありません。

*2021-06-26, version 1.5.1*

内容の更新が、長い間ありません。

### 2/5 — 消したら買ったのは全部なくなりますか？

*2021-03-28, version 1.5.1*

子供が喜んで遊んでいましたが、アプリを消してしまい再ダウンロードしたら買ったパーズルや本が全部最初みたいにロックされていました！

これはまた買うもの…？それならコスパ悪すぎですが、
どうすればいいですか？

### 3/5 — 新作求む

*2019-12-02, version 1.5.1*

子どもが絵本大好きでよく読んでました。
でも最近新しいお話やパズルが全然増えていかないので、増やしてほしいです。
行ったことのあるコンサートのお話が増えたらより楽しいと思うので待ってます！

### 3/5 — 課金したのにダウンロード出来ません。

*2019-06-29, version 1.5.1*

1歳10カ月の子供が喜んでパズルをしてたので追加分を課金し購入しましたがダウンロード出来ません。どうしたら良いでしょうか？

### 1/5 — 解消されてないんですが。

*2018-01-23, version 1.4.2*

課金したものも開けないし、削除して再ダウンロードしたら、もう一度課金しなきゃいけなくなってた(´Д` )
どうなってるんですかー。

再ダウンロードできました！
すみませんお騒がせしました！

### 1/5 — 最悪

*2017-12-10, version 1.4.0*

ダウンロードできへんし。

### 1/5 — ひどい

*2017-12-01, version 1.4.0*

購入したゲームが全然ダウンロードにならず遊べません。返金してください。

### 4/5 — 購入コンテンツが開けない時は

*2017-11-09, version 1.3.0*

既知不具合だそうです。
アプリを削除してから再度最新版をダウンロード。購入コンテンツを再び買うときの処理、認証までやると購入済みなので無料でダウンロードできますとでてやり直すとコンテンツが開けます。勇気が要りますが。
子供の写真で容量ギリギリの人多いと思うけど、起動時に容量不足だった時の対応がなかったみたいで起動失敗するとそれ以降ダメだった、、再インストは子供が喜んで集めた星が消えちゃうので早く直して欲しい。

3歳3ヶ月はパズル6ピースが大喜びで全部買いました。レストランで良い子にやるので助かります。
動く絵本は音出して見たら可能性は感じます。
もっと動いたり触れたり、夢溢れる工夫ができそう。今は少し難しい。大人でも、ゲーム部分のやることの説明がわかりにくい。
操作には凝らずにインタラクションの種類を増やして。
何歳向けか、レベルを分けて作って欲しい。ゲーム風のページを増やして質もあげて話は短くして欲しい。新しいタイプの絵本なのだから。

### 2/5 — アンロックされません

*2017-10-15, version 1.2.0*

課金した、新しいストーリーがアンロックされません。どうしたら良いのでしょう？
