I like the way she interacts with the story. ### 5/5 — Great classic and wonderfully educational *2016-04-17, version 4.0.6* I have been thoroughly satisfied with this series.

And my daughter loves it too. ### 5/5 — Classic comes to life *2016-02-24, version 4.0.6* It’s fun to see Dr Seuss’s original artwork dancing around on the screen! The learning activities are excellent for gauging young readers’ comprehension. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Zero Stars *2024-10-08* Apple refuses to refund didn’t want app kid made purchases with out knowledge ### 1/5 — Need *2021-05-15, version 4.1.1* It needs more secrets ### 1/5 — Bring back swipe anywhere page turns. *2018-02-19, version 4.0.10* Hitting a small button at the top of the iPad is the worst for one handed reading. ### 1/5 — Why not an Update? *2015-08-24, version 4.0.2* I bought this app under the name "The Cat in the Hat-Dr. Seuss" version 2.7. This app has since been removed and cannot be seen on the Dr. Seuss bookshelf. Old apps should still appear in your products unless this is done on purpose to confuse users that they do not have it. This should be an update since it is version 4.02 or an in app purchase. ### 2/5 — Boooooooooooooooo *2021-07-04, version 4.1.1* Hate ### 2/5 — Bug? *2015-07-27, version 4.0.1* So this seems pretty cool, but is there a bug? We keep getting stuck on the 2nd page and it won't let us continue on to the next page. There are several things we can touch for vocabulary but it simply will not let us continue on to the next page. ### 3/5 — The Cat In The Hat *2021-06-13, version 4.1.1* Promo Review ### 3/5 — $1 49 *2020-07-04, version 4.0.12* This app is great but the price is cheap it worth $1 49 but still great!!! ### 3/5 — Good story, but annoying default settings *2016-06-11, version 4.0.6* It's great to have Dr Seuss on the iPad for travel, but it's annoying that the default settings include (a) sound, (b) a talking book and (c) various interactive options. I just want to be able to read the story to my baby, but I first have to turn off all these settings. ### 4/5 — Very nice implementation. Can use a vanilla mode *2020-04-13, version 4.0.12* The app looks great and is well-made. That being said, it is a bit too noisy and distracting. I would rather my almost 4 year old not have so much animation distracting from paying attention to the story. While it looks great, I would prefer her concentrating on the story and not on animations. A still image/animation toggle would be great. Ultimately, I just want the books with a voice-over. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Good book *2026-05-13, version 4.1.4* The Cat in the Hat is fun ### 5/5 — Why I love the cat in the hat *2026-01-13, version 4.1.4* the cat in the hat is kinda funny lol. he’s my favorite character.. and can you fix these bugs?? thx ### 5/5 — I AM A SEUSSAHOLIC *2024-09-10, version 4.1.3* ⚠️WARNING!!!
