Great for Long Drives

There are so many quality shows on Pinna, I don’t know where to begin - driving 20 minutes to daycare or driving hours to a nearby city, there are so many shows that keep my boys entertained - from the short Sugar Monster to the medium lengthen Grim, Grimmer, Grimmest. Christmas is Coming is great when the season is coming - ExtraBlurt is one we all played - Savvy and Wonderhair is pretty good - especially the planet episodes, my oldest loves Mars Patel - and there are countless books, like Shredderman, which are quite good - the only problem is the cost. Most shows are entertaining and there are tons of things to discover but At 7.99 a month (after the first free one), make sure you get your moneys worth. There is enough here to keep you busy listening for months ... but eventually ... we pulled the plug but after six months we came back to get the latest episodes and check out the new shows - I guess the price is worth it if you are anti screen and don’t mind letting your kids listen to programs / podcasts instead of listening to the podcasts in your own queue

I have two daughters, ages 7 & 11. At bedtime, after we read them a story or two, we let them listen to audiobooks as they are going to sleep. Suffice it to say it adds up when you’re regularly buying Audible audiobooks, particularly because children’s stories are much shorter. Pinna solves this problem by having lots of great content for a fixed price! I would note that my 11 year old has run through most of the content for her age. My understanding though is that Pinna is continuously working on adding new content. Definitely an app worth checking out if you want to consistently foster a love of reading in your child!

Not loving the current book selection

Kids and I love pinna we purchase the yearly subscription. Up until recently I have loved that I can let the kids choose their own stories to listen to. Giving me time to work on chores or independent projects. 2022 book additions are a little questionable though(we loved the 2020 and 21 books) I don’t typically sensor books but these ones while appropriate for 12yos, are giving my 6yo nightmares and there is no way to remove them from his list. He doesn’t want to listen to them and has asked me to pick out his books so he doesn’t accidentally get a scary one. The age button in the top corner only works for the main screen, my kid likes to choose the longer chapter books (where all the scary space stories with kid eating plants are )it also resets everytime we leave the app. I don’t need to fully sensor my kid, but we both would feel better if Momma could take the scary books out of his library so he could freely select books again.

We love the Pinna app for quality content and variety. We randomly happened upon it and started listening to Grimm Grimmer, Grimmest, which quickly became a favorite. I am born in Germany, so the „real stories“ are dear to me ;) Rumplestilzchen it‘s done excellent! Our daughter has immensely enjoyed much of the content and is very much looking forward to more episodes of Opal Watson - Private Eye! Clue Club and Upside Down Magic are runner ups favorites and Forever Ago was quite enjoyable as well. We are still making our way thru. We are happy to pay a reasonable subscription fee for quality content and engaging stories and Pinna has many of them. We appreciate it!
