What Users Love About the App

“A large library of books covers many kid-friendly topics. With rich illustrations, photographs, and interactive features, kids shouldn’t have trouble finding something to grab and hold their interest.”

“Kids explore freely, letting their interests guide them, and flexible reading options meet kids at their reading levels. The selection is limited in terms of diverse story origin and character type, and features for recommending books would help.”

“There’s good support to help kids get through the reading. Extensions such as offscreen activities inspired by the stories, or a way for kids to create their own personal libraries, would enhance kids’ experience.”

My nephews loved this app from the minute they saw it. Great, safe way to keep the kids occupied and learning!”

“Top quality ‘children’s reading’ platform. Characters that kids recognize from Disney, etc”

What Users Dislike About the App

“Registered for a trial account. Went to log in ‘No username/password’ exists. Then registered again and it said ‘user already exists’. So I requested a password reset and the reset email didn’t arrive at all. Not really sure what else I am supposed to do to use the website really.”

“Can’t even get anything new, same old thing over and over , years after years”

“Every single time we shut the iPad, the app logs us out and we lose all of the downloaded stories. It is negatively impacting our user experience!”

“My son has a reading log every night from school but the stories that they are not enough. Unless you keep reading the same stories over and over. I am hoping that they have more variety of reading material available because for the price $72 it is not worth it.”

“Just wanted an app to entertain my child temporarily. She was unable to hear any songs or read any books without a “7 day free trial/Buy now” option. You don’t even really get a preview of quality. Parents, don’t waste your time.”
