iStoryBooks for Android
My son woke up tonight and I wanted him to listen to a story but I wasn't up for reading it. So I looked for an app that had audio books for kids and found this one. So far I can say its great! There are more books that are free compared to other apps. But he loved it so much that he fell asleep laying on me! Definitely going into his locked child app so he can listen to some great stories any time he wants to!
As said by others, this app would be great if stories loaded completely. I spent a while downloading each story, looking forward to showing them to my daughter but many of them hadn't downloaded when I tried to open them and the ones that did open, didn't finish. Disappointed and doesn't inspire me to pay for full app.
Nice app. But is a rip off. Charging 99 cents every month. It is like 12 dollars a year. Price wise very expensive app. Rather pay once for the app and get away.
Nice app. But no option to stop the audio. When sliding it reads a word from previous slid and then stops then starts to read new slid. Very much disturbing. The menu option shown in video does not appear in galaxy note.
My 8 soon to be 9 loves it read books but wasn't interested in reading no more. Had another book app but she Didnt like it. But download this app and she likes it so far and im happy she likes and hopefully she use this app in the future
First, ads for a children's app is a bad idea because my daughter, like most little ones, clicks on the app and ends up online looking at an ad. My bigger issue is the story has language that I don't allow my Grade 7 students to say in class and don't think should be in a story intended for young children. Call me a prude if you want but the word stupid should not be in a book for young children. Wouldn't recommend this app.
It is good going for small children as it is small stories hope u will soon update more actually this is a request pictures too..... Was awesome stories are always favorite ones this is the first one rating thanks for u r gorgeous audio text and stories
What happened? It's been my favorite story book app but now it doesn't work. When I open it, it says downloading but it keeps on loading and after that it says retry. I loved this app so please do what you can do and I'll keep supporting you guys.
It's OK... Great books but, NO CHAPTER BOOKS, I needed this for my 8 year old. She is in Second Grade and she reads chapter books. Chapter books are her favorite types of books. Please fix that!!!! Then I will make it 5 stars.
RIDICULOUS!! These stories are NOT for children!!! Calling things stupid, saying bluntly "her parents were dead", saying they have no use for something that's too old. I don't know who made these books, but I'd hate to see how their children turned out.
A very good app but a little buggy the letter in cynderal Spanish version does not show up correctly and not giving the price for removing adds is the reason I deducted a
Paid with subscribed monthly fee but still have to see ads every single time loading app. Secondly, new stories are slowly added in, about one new story per month? That's why I decided to cancel subscription.
My 3.5 years old kid loves to read and listen to stories using this app. And I'm so happy that he gets to read this when I'm not available to read to him. Stories are high quality and with good moral lessons. Good job team.. (y)
The stories and app is great and the reading very wonderful, but it skips during the story play. I don't have any other apps running while a story is playing and I'm on high speed Internet. Every new screen story line starts out reading the previous screen then skips to the current screen?! Really annoying for my kid to peice together!
This app has a lot of really good books for children. My 4 year old likes to pick out his book and then I read it to him. I don't use the movie mode, but it is convenient.
FIRST IT'S REALLY LOUD!! (Then the next sentence is quieter than a whisper). THEN IT'S REALLY LOUD! This app has some serious sound issues.. And some of the stories sound like a robot is talking.. Some of the stories are OK I suppose.. But definitely not worth more than a star for my phone.
Shows full screen ads in paid version. It always shows subscribe button, though I am subscriber for last many months. Recently loading of stories is slow and fails on good WiFi. Not many new stories for paid subscription. Sometimes story playback is stated when the loading Box is coming. I'd this doesnt changes, I'll cancel my subscription.
There's an awesome story collection, but each page repeats the wrong words in the beginning. Also, I hate that you can't pause the stories.
My son is 6years old & he just absolutely LOVES this app. He does NOT enjoy his daily/average, HAVE to read out of a book type ordeal whatsoever, but that VERY MOMENT I introduced him to this app all he wants to do now is READ, READ, & READ. I freakin love it!! Thank you so much!!!
There are no settings where I can cancel a subscription. I have cancelled the subscription through Google wallet so will I be still able to read the books I have downloaded in premium content? How do I get answers. Stories are quite good but I wish you made it simpler.
Just because some books cost something its still awesome. So many u can get without anything I think over 100
I used to love this app, and I had recommend it to my friends, but not any more. It repeats like 2-3sec of the previous page, or the hole page on some stories. I hope it gets fix soon or I will uninstall, and stop recommending the app.
Please fix the problem with Movie mode. It moves to the next page but it reads from the previous page for 2 to 3 seconds and then starts the next page reading...
Its OK actually, i love it but i cannot give 5 stars enough because... Ive finish downloading the book but when i choose the book ive download its downloading again i dont know why!
I keep trying to add books to my library and it won't let me, although I'm following the instructions correctly. I hate to have paid my money for no reason.
Really nice stories .My son loves them all.Easy to have all these books anywhere you go and your child can practice readind as well.Nice pictures.Thank you!
Even though I have a Subscription it won't download the books anymore. It still gives me ads and I wish I could change my settings to show only books in my language instead of scrolling through books we won't use. It's an ok app. If those few bugs were fixed I'd rate it 5
I really like this app! I have a day home and there is always a demand for good stories, especially at nap time. I like that you can read it yourself or have it read for you. The stories are unique and the children love them,!
I was tired of reading my 3yr old the same story over an over, found this app an i love it as well as she does lots of stories to choose from.
Awsome app... once downloaded .. my baby can watch it anywhr anytym and loves to listen to it.. helpful for people of all age groups.. i too learned a lot from it.. thankq for tis wonderful app...
This is great for any age. Stories are short and sweet. Best of all it has stories in Spanish and other languages as well; which is plus if you have a bilingual family. Has lots of books to pick from and new ones are are away being added. You can save your favorite stories for later.
Would very much like to add features such as speed settings and highlighted words. Also, Hebrew, Japanese, Mandarin, Greek, and Russian.
I homeschool and these stories are absolutely perfect especially for those days when we have alot of errands to run. It even reads to my kids. Love this. Highly recommended!
Was planning on buying
Thank you! So many free downloadable books.
Once you install the app, it takes lot of time (even on a fast wifi network) to "download" story books. However, you realize later that books are not downloaded and it needs an "always on" connection to download the book (that also takes forever). My advice - never download this app (especially if you are using mobile data connection). It is designed just to fool people.
I will chgange this to 5 star when the app starts working again. Every since my phone updated to the latest version, the app does not work correctly. It repeats words from previous page and doesn't always flip through pages correctly. I have a Samsung galaxy S4. With Android version 5.0.1 I've been a subcriber for years but I'm going to cancel soon if this is not fixed. -- No update to fix issue since May 24th. Maybe I'll re-subcribe if the issue is fixed soon.
I had this app on my tablet and after a few months I broke and then I got got bored and once I saw this app after three four days I freaked out and downloaded it and at night I listen to every story and I felt sleepy and sleep I love this app a lot and I wish I keeps uptadeing new books thank you for this wonderfully app
Love to have book without the mess of the pages being ripped out. Twin 2 year old boys ask for this everyday. "Book please" love it.
