I have a non verbal autistic son who is obsessed with these books. When storybots discontinued their support for the books, my son was just heartbroken. At least once a week he would type in storybot in google chrome and click on random links hoping the books would pop up. He was constantly handing me his iPad pointing at the storybot app, hoping I would get it running. When I showed this app to my son, his face just lit up! He had smile from ear to ear! I just love the fact that he’s so happy and excited! Thank you so much for bringing this app to the App Store! It’s just perfect!

My daughter absolutely loves this app. We read them together before bed every night. She loves seeing our faces and names in them. We even added the cat! My favorite part is that once we crawl in bed to read, all of the lights are off so it helps settle her down. With regular picture books the lights are still on so we can read and it doesn’t help the bedtime vibe. A sound off switch would be nice but I just lower my volume and that works.

I gave four stars instead of five at this time because books are not shareable friendly or downloadable friendly, a person cannot send to others to view, paid or unpaid. I know because I contacted support. Support did get back to me right away and was apologetic. I hope they change app so a paid customer can share the books they’ve personalized with others.

I purchased these books, not a subscription model, but actually purchased dozens of the books under the Storybot name. Then the company took the app out of the store. I could not get the books to play because the server was shut down. I couldn't use them in my classroom anymore. Now the books appear under a new name. Again, I purchased dozens of these books--well over the $29 lifetime purchase for this app. Why should I have to pay again? Who is to say this app won't suddenly disappear too. Buyers beware. Don't plop down a lifetime payment expecting you will always have access to the books, because with this company, you probably won't!
