No option to have all?

My autistic son absolutely loves this app but there’s no option to subscribe to have ALL the stories which is disappointing.

My 3 year old son seems to like it so far..

Just takes a while since you have to wait on each book to download which sorta got our excitement tho quickly go away cause it took a while for a book to download on our WiFi. ((We have crappy||cheap WiFi in my opinion lol{+}my husband is cheap and I am a stay at home Mom{+}wife so I am of course trying to be grateful that we even have any at all)) overall this app is worth the time spent on impatient downloads rather than πŸ’° spent on more app purchases that they only play a couple times and lose interest in. So the free stuff is awesome and there is a lot of free things in the app so that alone is worth the download I say.. The only thing we've not liked so far besides the individual πŸ“– downloads on Grandma speed WiFi is the activity part where you can make your own book or whatever it is very off like touch accommodation is very off and jumps to stuff I'm not editing like while trying to pinch to size characters it just bounces too much and that makes it not so fun for my 3 year old to try and make his own creations. If there is any way of fixing these things that would make this app much better . & This is my perspective after only playing it for about an hour with my 3 yr old before naptimeπŸ’€πŸ†“πŸ†’πŸ“²β³πŸ“ΆπŸ’¬β—οΈπŸ‘©β€πŸ‘¦β€πŸ‘¦πŸ“šπŸ›

Book listed as free, but charged $1.99.

The Pinocchio book is listed as a free item, however, it charged $1.99. Sent requests to vendor 2 times and no one cares to return your email, and therefore no refund.

Lots of free books

The App offers 8 free books in total and other books cost only $1.99 each. It's well worth the money.
