LOVE this company and APP!!

I have been using the free version for a few years and I’m about to buy it all! This is SUCH a creative way to read to my Grandchildren now that they moved across country with the Military! Bonus.. They get to keep it and always play it back when they miss me!! Thank you for this and making it SO easy to use!

Good App, Dishonest Leadership

Very disappointed in this app. Back in April, we had an issue, and Yoav Oren (the CEO of the company) directly reached out to me. They stated they released a new update, asked us to download it, and personally offered a complimentary membership for the trouble.
I did exactly what was asked. I updated the app and even paid for a trial out of pocket just to make sure the fix actually worked. The app itself works now, and my son loves it, but the CEO completely lied about the credit and ghosted us afterward.
I sent the requested follow-up email to claim the complimentary membership and got no response. I sent another follow-up in June. Still nothing. It has been nearly three months of radio silence since this started in April. It’s incredibly frustrating and unprofessional when the head of a company makes a direct promise just to get you to troubleshoot their app, and then completely fails to follow through. Great app for kids, but terrible, dishonest leadership.

Response from developer

Hi Kimberly, We're truly sorry to hear that you left feeling disappointed. We understand how frustrating it is when you expect an issue to be resolved, especially when your child is excited to use the app. We do, however, want to clarify one important point. We pride ourselves on providing exceptional customer support and make every effort to respond to every inquiry we receive. In fact, it's not uncommon for our CEO to personally step into customer conversations because staying close to the families who use Zoog is one of our core values. After reviewing our records, we can see that we responded to your last message with troubleshooting steps and asked you to let us know whether the update resolved the issue. We didn't receive a response in that conversation, so we were surprised to read that you felt you had been ghosted. If a follow-up email never reached us, we're genuinely sorry, as that was certainly never our intention. Our offer of a complimentary membership still stands, and we'd be more than happy to honor it. Please reach out to us at support@getzoog.com or through the in-app chat, and we'll make sure you're taken care of. We completely understand your frustration. At the same time, suggesting that our CEO intentionally misled you or acted dishonestly does not reflect how this situation unfolded or how we operate as a company. Our goal has always been to make things right, and that remains true today 💙

Grandchildren abroad

This app has become so important for bonding with my granddaughter across the miles. She loves them and it’s how she sees me and hears me and more importantly remembers me. The best app ever!

Joke and greetings

The kids think it’s funny and I love a different kind of connection

Connecting with family

This has been a wonderful way for me to connect with all my great nieces and nephews! Love it!❤️

Joy

The joy this brings my grandson is precious to me!

Paid subscription unacessible

I had four months still left on my subscription when they updated app and I lost access to my subscription. Under the help option, I reported the problem. They responded once and then started ghosting me after the problem was not fixed.

Great Way to Connect

The stories in the Zoog app are engaging and well received by my grandchild and great nieces. I love that they can request a story and that they anxiously wait for me to send it.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for sharing this ❤️ Hearing that your grandchild and great nieces are eagerly waiting for your next story is exactly why we built Zoog. You're creating memories they'll carry with them for a lifetime - keep the stories coming!

Huge Disappointment

My autistic son saw this app and wanted it SO bad. We downloaded it and went through the process of setting an account up at which point the app just kept force closing over and over. We tried it on his phone, my phone, and dad’s phone. Same thing every time. My son had a huge meltdown because the app wouldn’t work. Wish I could give zero stars!

Zoog review

Best in the world

Zoog is a hit with our grandchildren

Following the instructions for narrating the story and song I sent to each grandchild was easy…and the fun making each was totally unexpected. I could not stop laughing watching the playback!!

Great idea

My grandkids who live abroad loved this. Great app!

They charge unfairly

I subscribed to Zoog in Jan 2025 and paid $62.99 for the year. I thought it would be fun to send stories to my grandchildren. Unfortunately my grandchildren never didn’t get to see many of them so I stopped making them. I thought for sure I had unsubscribed to this app and I forgot about it. I have epilepsy and have had hundreds of seizures and brain damage so I forget easily. This January 2026 I was charged $89.99 to renew the subscription. I was not given any notice that it was going to renew or that the price increased so much. Apple will not refund me despite the app not being used. This is a lot of money and I didn’t expect it nor can I afford it. I’m extremely disappointed.
