After having some issues initially downloading the App as it was not available for a while on the US iTunes store, I have to say that I'm kind of disappointed in it. When I finally was able to download the App, I had to download the free book that was given with the App. It took a long time to download the free book even though my internet speeds are very high. After downloading the free book, I was not able to figure out how to add my son's name to the book so we read it without his name but it wasn't as fun for him. The free book has good content and other books are available for $4.99 each. This App just was not for us although it may be for you, it's worth the free download of the initial App to try.
