More than half the time I try to scan it it doesn’t give me the video. I try to scan it from different angles but it doesn’t work. If they would make adjustments and actually make it work this app would be great! ### 2/5 — Puppies-very disappointed *2021-07-24, version 1.5* The book is cute and my child likes it, but the app doesn’t work at all. It acts like something will download, but then goes back to the camera. I’ve even tried it after updating my phone and nothing. It’s a shame because I think it’s a great idea. Update- I’m giving one additional star because we finally got a couple of the videos to work, but not all. ### 2/5 — I Download This *2021-03-26, version 1.5* And I Try One On The Siberian Husky And This Didn’t Happen And It Has That Video Fact Book Rest Is Fine ### 1/5 — I am disappointed WHY I will tell you. *2021-03-04, version 1.5* I am disappointed because some of the videos work and some do not work I do not know why. ### 1/5 — Bad *2021-02-17, version 1.5* 8 action videos? More like 4 action videos! ### 1/5 — did not like *2021-02-16, version 1.5* I did not love it because I could not hear the video and it took too long to load. ### 1/5 — Waste of valuable bed time with my son *2021-02-12, version 1.5* The videos didn’t load. Very upsetting for my four year old who loves dinosaurs and was looking forward to reading this interactive book all day! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2021-02-02, version 1.5* In spite of the other reviews we still tried it and it doesn’t work. ### 1/5 — Trash *2020-12-23, version 1.5* Don’t even tell your kids about this it will get their hopes up. This is the worst app ever made. In theory it’s great but the execution was very poorly done. Never worth it. Would give no stars if possible. ### 3/5 — A little disappointed 😔 *2020-12-22, version 1.5* I was a little disappointed. Some of the videos did not work . They paused in the middle and some didn’t work. ### 1/5 — Only some videos work *2020-09-10, version 1.5* My daughter cried because she wanted to see the last puppy video and it wouldn’t work. Tried 2 phones. Very frustrating. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — App not working *2023-02-04, version 1.5* Book is nice but hr app never worked! ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2023-01-21, version 1.5* App doesn’t work. Don’t waste your time parents. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work at all. *2022-12-30, version 1.5* Same issues as someone posted over a year ago. The app begins to act like it’s downloading something but never does. ### 1/5 — Won’t Scan *2022-10-30, version 1.5* Only got 2 pages to scan others wouldn’t act like it was doing anything. ### 1/5 — Otrddgfx *2022-07-03, version 1.5* Chubby cheeks ### 1/5 — Does not work! *2021-12-27, version 1.5* This Apple is garbage and does not work like it says it will. Don't waste your time. ### 1/5 — Video Fact Book/Dogs *2021-08-07, version 1.5* Terrible app!!! Does not work, regardless of what I try. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2021-04-20, version 1.5* This app is terrible. It doesn’t work. We have three books to go along with it and it only plays two videos out of the three books. I thought this would be fun and educational for my little one but all it did was lead to disappointment. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2021-04-08, version 1.5* The developer needs to fix this. It did not work with “Our Solar System” book. What a disappointment. My child was eager to see what would show up on the videos. ### 1/5 — Bad app *2021-03-13, version 1.5* I saw the bad review but since I already had the books I thought I would test it. Nope the review is correct not all of the sections with the camera icon download, also I never got any sound, just the images. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My daughter loves these *2021-11-04, version 1.5* My daughter loves these books so much she started challenging herself to higher reading levels than normal to read about dinos and planets. The videos sometimes take a little work to load (and there are only videos for some pages) but for a $1 book, these are fabulous. ### 5/5 — Best app for education *2021-08-08, version 1.5* This app worked perfect for the Puppies book and I experienced no problems at all. Thanks bendon. ### 5/5 — We LOVE this *2021-01-26, version 1.5* Me and my 4 yr LOVED this. What an amazing idea (can we do all books like this please). Now we need to go back to Target to get them all :) ### 5/5 — Decent companion app *2020-10-30, version 1.5* Came to give this app a better rating. Not sure what people expect that comes along with with a $1 book. It worked fine for us with all the video pages for the dinosaur books. Got to see a few videos of how dinos May have looked in real life which my son enjoyed. ### 5/5 — Dinosaurs *2020-09-04, version 1.5* I love the app! I think ppl are a little confused when they say “not all the pages work” the only ones that have short clips are the ones with the camera icon on the top corner of the pages. Everything worked great for me and my toddler loved it!! Thank you ### 4/5 — Puppies last page *2021-11-28, version 1.5* The last page of puppies in the video didn’t work ### 4/5 — Excellent *2021-01-10, version 1.5* It worked good with the dinosaur book. My son loved seeing the T-Rex video. ### 3/5 — Not bad *2022-12-06, version 1.5* I downloaded this app to my iPad. It’s a very simple 3-button app. It automatically opens up to your camera. Despite most of the reviews saying the videos do not work, all 8 of the videos worked well for me. All in all, the app is simple and does what it states is does. Videos - - a tad blurry - no option for subtitles - no more than 30 seconds in length ### 3/5 — Won’t always load *2021-04-08, version 1.5* Cool app but it needs work ever three times I watch a video the next time it gets stuck loading or won’t load ### 3/5 — Our Solar System book videos didn’t scan at all. *2021-03-14, version 1.5* Our Solar System book videos didn’t scan at all. But all the videos worked on the Dinosaurs book. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
