Great stories poor UI

My kids have been listening to Sooper Books since the beginning. They love them. However the UI is very poor. In fact our membership ended and instead of renewing it cancelled and says to message them, which you can’t do because the UI requires you to leave a comment which covers the submit button! They can’t even take my money.

The New Update is Terrible

This new update made the experience extremely unpleasant. I hate it.
You were supposed to improve it, not taking all the good stuff and turn it into this messy hard-to-handle thing.
If you don’t make it good and enable the images (like the web version) then you are really bad and I will cancel my subscription and encourage others to do so.

Hi Yousif,
 Thank you for your feedback, we appreciate it. Since launching the app, we’ve been consistently optimising its performance, and there shouldn’t be any lags or delays now. If you experience any further issues, please don’t hesitate to email us at support@sooperbooks.com, and we’ll be happy to assist you. To address your question, the app is currently audio-only as this was highly requested. We understand your interest in having the ability to read the stories like on the web version, and will share this suggestion with our team for consideration in future updates. Thank you for helping us improve! Best regards,
 Team Sooper Books

Latest update is a disaster!

I am not sure what were you thinking but you messed up everything! The user experience is awful!

Love the content, hate the UX

Log in, want to download? Ok log in. Now you’re logged in, we need you to log in! Come on. This is preposterous. Fix the bug and you’d be 4 stars!

We hope this has now been resolved, but if you’re still experiencing any issues, please feel free to reach out to us at support@sooperbooks.com. Our support team is very responsive and always happy to help troubleshoot quickly so we can give you the best possible experience.

Disappointed.

But this is not compatible with Yoto despite advertising that it is. Can’t get these stories on Yoto. Can’t get them on a Yoto card. No support that I know of, but I’ll update this review should that change.

It’s not screen free if me or my child has to use it on my phone to play the content. Can’t get any of this on a Yoto card.

Thanks for your feedback. We’re sorry you’re having trouble syncing with Yoto. To transfer stories from your Sooper Books app to Yoto, simply open any story or series in the Sooper Books app and tap Download to Yoto. Once synced, it will appear in your Yoto library, where you can play it directly or link it to a Make Your Own card. If you need any help at all, please email support@sooperbooks.com and we’ll be happy to assist.

Disappointing

This app is a complete disappointment. The audiobooks are repetitive and poorly narrated with a voice that kids dislike.

Bad value

No captions or text are provided. Considering the very high subscription price I think this is poor value. Avoid.

Disappointed with the app considering how much I paid for a lifetime membership

It is almost impossible to login to the app because the UI is poor. You have to put the password in first because you can’t scroll down after you enter in your email. Also, when you’re searching for stories, if you click into one then you go back to the search, you have to start from the very beginning instead of where you left off… this makes searching unnecessarily cumbersome. Also, there aren’t very many story options for my 4 year old. Seems like you are in developing stages so I will stick it out for a couple weeks but will likely ask for a refund. Currently it’s worth 77£ even if it’s a lifetime membership.

Response from developer

Thanks for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your experience. We currently have 250+ stories in our library, including age categories for 0–5, 3–7 and 4–10, with many stories suitable for 4-year-olds within these categories. This can be found using our age filters. Regarding the password and search option, we'd love to understand this better so we can help. Please do email support@sooperbooks.com and we will most certainly be able to assist.

Misleading app

They make it look like the app is from the BBC but it’s not - the app creators just appeared on a TV show. The signup page claims it won awards from “Parenting Times” and “Women’s Week” - this is untrue and no such awards exist. Do not support this app.

The BEST audiobooks for kids

My family found sooperbooks a few years ago and it quickly became a part of our daily routine. There are so many different stories and they are all so cute. We love sooperbooks

Response from developer

Thank you so much for your lovely review! We are so glad your family is enjoying the app!

Very limited and overpriced

No story text is provided, so children can’t follow along and develop reading skills. This makes it mostly pointless. Charging such an expensive subscription for this is completely unjustified.

Confused

Every time you choose anything you are offered "unlock everything " and a monthly subscription! Very frustrating. Where is the lifetime one off subscription… misleading and disappointing.

Not suitable for children

Absolutely dreadful app: navigation is confusing, slow loading and there are frequent glitches. The stories have questionable themes and don’t set a good example for kids.
MissMummyTMissMummyT

Not a good app

The stories are audio only, there is no text to read. It is expensive for what you get. Images are very slow to load, even on a good phone. Avoid this app.
Alicia887Alicia887

Too much screen time

Too much animation and screen time, no reading available. It’s bad for our kids so we have stopped using it.
Jako763Jako763

Inappropriate content for younger kids.

Some of the themes, content and images are not good for young children.
Janny644Janny644

Absolute trash

Most of the stories are locked. You people just want to make money and don’t care about anything else.
Jo7693Jo7693

Do not download, definitely don’t pay for it

Terrible app. Was previously ok but now it’s audio only, no text. How will that help kids read? Creepy pictures and voiceover, slow animations.
JonnyBroadyJonnyBroady

Awful app

This app is awful: there is nothing to actually read and their content is unoriginal and too expensive.

Great Story Audio Book App

Great app for children, with large amount of fun and educational stories long and short which you can listen to via the App, or also read along to on the website.
