Amazing app with such a range of reading materials to choose from. I love that you can read to yourself or be read to, there are audio books and videos and songs too. I use mine for teaching and have recommended it to so many other people. An excellent way of encouraging small children to read in a mote exciting and colourful way. It's used regularly and almost always had what I'm looking for.

When it works, it works well but offline books need review. I downloaded this app because you were able to download books and read them offline. this would have been perfect for my 12 hour flight with my 3 year old son, except that when I reopened the app on the plane, all the books I had downloaded were wiped out.. I've downloaded books on 3 separate occasions and each time they disappear after a period of time. no idea why. If they could fix this then it would be a great app.

I didn't like it because of two thing. One it said you can use it online or off but when I went to download it said it needed access to Internet connection. Two when I watched the advert it said it was completely free but I then get on the game and create an account and it says I have to pay 7.99 a month or something like that. For this reason I have uninstalled the app. I was really looking forward to a new reading app *completely free* but I guess it isn't.
