It’s a great idea, but not working anymore

I’ve been subscribed for more than a year and my daughter and everyone I showed the app love it! But after the last updates, is not letting me cast the books anymore. I wrote a couple of times to the tech team and said they would help me. That was many weeks ago and still nothing. I gave up on this app, so disappointing because I thought it was a good resource for the kids for learning. I’m giving it 4 stars anyways because I can see a big effort and lots of work behind each book.

Has gone downhill in recent months

I subscribed to this app around 3 months ago and was so grateful as it provided my 4.5 year old with a way to read books independently. The titles available at the time were fantastic and he was able to save his own list of favorites.

In the last month, many of the popular books (including ‘Where the Wild Things Are’) were removed from the service and my son’s favorite list is now down to 3 books. We’ve tried to fill it again with the new content that has been made available but the ‘great’ books are now very few and far between. Perhaps it is a personal preference to the content but it doesn’t seem right to still advertise books that are no longer available.

I’ve shared this feedback with the developers via email but have yet to receive a response.

Very good!

I think Vooks is good for reading and books, my teacher usually uses it for a little chill after lunch. It’s a very good website and app but maybe needs some books for teens and stuff.
