Ratings and Reviews
Needs highlighted text
I’ve downloaded this app for my 8yr old son who has high functionality autism, I was hoping this app had highlighted text as the book is being read out, I believe this app could be improved by adding highlighted text pages as the book is being read out, as this would help all children to learn to recognise more words as well as improve their spelling, reading and listening skills. I see a way for this app to really help all children as a mother I loved these books growing up and would love for my son to have a way to enjoy and love them as well. I really hope my feed back is looked at.
No ‘family sharing’ of content.
I absolutely love Roald Dahl and was so thrilled to find an extra way to share his stories with my kids. Though they are expensive we have slowly built up a collection and they have been listening at bed time using my phone. I recently bought them (age 3,5,7) an iPad and set it up, family sharing is enabled along with the Roald Dahl app however I open it and discover we are expected to REPURCHASE all stories for every device in the family. I find this absolutely appalling. A total rip off. As the app itself is free anyway, what’s the use of “sharing” being enabled??? This offers no “sharing” at all, just an opportunity to make more money off people who have already paid! This app, containing only children’s stories, is clearly aimed at children- why put this road block in the way of using it and sharing amongst siblings?? I wish I had never paid a cent and had instead sourced the stories elsewhere. Very disappointed.
Audiobook
I downloaded this app for free but it turnes out I have to pay for each audiobook to listen to it
