Thanks for your review and your feedback. There should be no difference in the music when played on a phone or an iPad. Can you please email support@touchpress.com with more details (especially the model and OS of the phone you are referring to) so that we can look into this for you? ### 1/5 — Icon is terrible! *2018-06-29* The new app icon for version 2.0.1 is bad. It would be okay for a game but is terrible for a book. The previous icon was a good representation of the whole story, this new one is not. I'm considering deleting the app just because of the icon. **Developer response:** Hi Someone, somewhere. Many thanks for your review, we always appreciated helpful feedback from our customers. We will certainly look into alternative icons for the next update. Thank! ### 5/5 — Add more stickers *2017-10-04, version 1.1.0* Maybe like in the Rapunzel and the little red riding hood you should add all the stickers from ALL the fairy tales please do this if you like it Love Scarlett Metschke McInnes ### 4/5 — Great for kids! 🤗 *2016-06-03, version 1.0.20* Great for 4-6 year olds I would say! It's a great interactive learning experience for a child!👶🏼 ### 1/5 — A *2014-01-02, version 1.0.18* U should get it ## Frequently asked questions about StoryToys Hansel and Gretel ### What is this app about?
