Pop up adds while reading!!! Useless!!

DL'd this story app for my daughter.
While she was trying to read each page, adds keep popping up...whole page adds!! Completely covers the screen and you have to hit the "X" to close them out before continuing on. This happens at timed intervals, many times.
This is in addition to the banner adds already present on the page, which I was willing to ignore.

Completely awful. Don't waste your time with this one. Deleting it now.

Yuck!

I was very disappointed. I got this story for my grand daughter. But after looking at it, I deleted it. The reading is way too slow. There are adds in the way, right under the story text. I also think the text is too small. If you view it on your phone it's very hard to read. It was supposed to be interactive, but is not. And in the illustrations, there are headless monkeys; kind of creepy. I really don't see why anyone would give this one more than one star.

Ads Ruin It

This used to be a favorite of my daughter and now it's littered with ads after an update, she can't use it on her own anymore because she ends up in the App Store buy screen after accidentally tapping an ad. It's caused so much frustration we've just deleted it instead.

Great

Great for Kids :)

Don't recommend it even for free

Story is supposed to be interactive. Hmmm. Not so much. The reading is soo slow no child will sit still that long. Check out the reviews. They seem suspiciously like they came from the developer.
