Fantastic idea and really helped to maintain contact with our very young grandchildren during covid restrictions. Book choice is a bit limited and very American. Have needed to do quite a bit of on the fly translation into English English. Will probably get more use out of it when they are a bit older and play the games etc.

We use it everyday, both kids and grandparents love it. The positive: grandma can just pick up a call, no codes or links or installing an app on the computer needed. I like the selection of books, but few of the games are interactive. It's better on the computer than on the app because text size is larger. Like others said: the app is glitchy and not intuitive. Also, there is no way to turn off auto-renew yourself. Customer service worked with me to fix both issues quickly though.

Great when it works. Unfortunately, even with a subscription we find major issues. Often my 5-year-old cannot see his grandparents, just a white square. Games and books get stuck on the loading screen. It's a shame, as when it works it's great. But it's so spotty, I probably won't renew my subscription unless it's on sale again or they fix all the bugs.
