Full disclosure, I used to work at the HCIL lab that helped create this project. I like them! But I also have a 3 year old so I'm also a critical user of this app. I really like the idea, specifically use the iPhone to "read stories" as opposed to play games. This implementation is fairly good, but suffers because the iPhone is so much smaller then the books that it's trying to represent. For a little help the app needs to give the content more space by:

The books need to be age specific or something. I like all the books, but children includes my 2 & 4 year old, who get antsy with too many words, and they turn the page too soon on the books other than Waldo.

Text navigation needs work it feels choppy. The scans of pages need to be higher resolution. It's a small screen the pages should pop and text be intuitive to navigate. Kudos for including bilingual books as well as the old school three little pigs. More books! Great start, hope to see this one improve.

I was excited for this app and really wanted it to work. My 2 year old loves to read, and I thought this would be great. Not so. The ease of use is not there. My suggestion, go buy a book. For you and your childs sake.

Doent have sound a little music would be ok

Of the four stories included in this app, only waldo at the zoo works. The images and text are bold enough to read at a glance. On the remaining three storiez, The "tap to enlarge text" box is ridiculous and the images are of such poor resolution that they are basically useless.

I didn't know it was in two language, though.

Would love to see more books available. Pictures and text show up just fine.

Sorry I forgot to rate my review

It's not bad but just ok

I really got excited about the app and about having children stories on the go, but in practice, the app is not as good as it has the potential to become. Mere (poor) scans of the originals are too analog for the iPhone . Here are a few suggestions, for which I'd even be willing to have the app not be free anymore, that apply to all books except "Waldo at the Zoo", which I think works well: - more books - better image resolution - more intuitive text. (The pop up text, though not necessarily a bad idea in itself, is quite a turn off in children books.) - more language choices, manageable in the app settings, and/or through a language menu accessible from the books themselves, maybe through a small flag icon or something similar - possibility to zoom in on picture details and text - possibilty to bookmark favorite books - narration in multiple languages

If you need a half hour quiet time with a 3-6 yr old, download this with the 4 stories. It's good old fashion fun and the one book that bounces from English to Aramaic is great!
