I mean come on you used siri voice in the app, and that ridiculous guy with the fluffy beard and glass’s voice with his terrible accent, no way for children to learn. Please do us all a favour and remove this app, you are polluting the app store and the future of our children’s reading. **Developer response:** Hi ‘LoveSmith’, Thank you for your comments. We appreciate you have seen us on the BBC TV show ‘Dragon’s Den’, however, your comment has very little reference to our apps performance and user experience. It is rather harmful towards one of our team members here at Yap Books, and that's why we've reported the review as inappropriate. If you would like to discuss the issues you have with the app and address the problems you have with our team, please email us at hello@yapbooks.com and we can arrange a video-call. Thank you. ### 1/5 — Diabolical *2021-06-10* ‘Let’s practice’ I think they meant ‘practise’ If the app creators cannot spell.... Seriously, this is a joke. Five Dragons cannot be wrong. **Developer response:** Hi 'Chris5927', Thank you for your review. If you notice, this feature has now been removed in our newest update. We heard your concerns loud and clear and have taken it upon ourselves to include a number of teachers in the development and testing stages of the Yap Books app. Thank you for your feedback and hopefully our new updates will offer a better user experience for you and your child/children. ### 3/5 — Really good concept if they fix the glitches *2021-06-10* Saw these guys on Dragons Den so thought I would try out the app for my son. I almost deleted the app as it was not recognising my voice and just wasn’t working and kept freezing. But I persisted then miraculously it started to work but still very glitchy. The cursor wasn’t moving quick enough to match my words (and I was reading very slowly). Seems like it would be a good app for kids if they could just fix the bugs so for now only 3 stars from me I think this might be the reason why they had 70,000 users but only a thousand active. **Developer response:** Thank you for feedback, it’s greatly appreciated. Truly helps us to build a better service. Have a lovely day. ### 4/5 — Review from a teacher *2021-06-12* This app has a lot of potential! My main criticism is that the speech is not punctuated correctly. Punctuation marks are often left out of speech in the stories, which is an awful shame. Try contacting Twinkl to look at their apps too. **Developer response:** Hi Georgina, Thank you for your positive rating, your feedback is always valued. The majority of our content has been in collaboration with teachers and educators around the UK, but we understand the importance of accuracy when it comes to children's literacy. We’ll take the time to review each book in our library and rectify any issues we notice. If you do have a spare minute or two, we'd be happy to hear about the errors you noticed. Please email hello@yapbooks.com and we can continue from there. Have a lovely day. ### 5/5 — Phenomenal! Would highly recommend! *2021-06-30* I’ve recently download yap books to help my youngest daughter who is struggling to read. Her attention is very short when it comes to books and reading but this app has worked wonders! She adores the animations, silly sounds and is obsessed with collecting the stars and badges. Thank you and would highly recommend!! ### 5/5 — Amazing *2019-05-29* I’ve never seen a book do what this app does, so good for getting my children to read aloud and being able to check their progress whilst doing so. Very smart I will recommend to my children’s school. ### 5/5 — Must have app for children *2018-10-15* My Daughter has been using this at school, and wanted me to download for her at home. What a great educational app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
