looks like a good selection of books but the app is either slow to load or keeps crashing . especially when using the search function or trying to browse stories. so im glad ive only got the free trial for now, already cancelled the subscription in the hopes we can try again after a few updates as at the moment my toddler constantly needs me to fix it for him and is getting frustrated rather than calm

was Skeptical but just BUY IT! This app is amazing! I don't allow screen time but the way they do the videos and the words light up is great!! my kids and I both love sitting down and watching a video. I do wish that I could buy the book right from the video 💜 just a suggestion though, I don't mind looking up the book. I have bought many books because of Vooks 10/10

we LOVE VOOKs!! but TOO many bad reviews ESPECIALLY for that price. you can Make it 3 or 4 dollars per month, and even make it more after if it Is consistant. I have a 5 year old that gets super sad and upset about things sometimes and I am not about to have him have a fit for 7dollars ...or FIFTY!!! wAAAAY to much.... might as well go buy the books...he can read anyways, so, I it's really just the animation and voices and music we want to enjoy. too many upset customers.... makes us sad!😕😶
