My daughter loves this app. I wish it had a sleep timer! She likes to listen to the books as she falls asleep, but I need it to turn off after a while, not keep her tablet on all night. (I have tried using a separate sleep timer app, and I can't get that to work with Vooks either). I'd also love for it to play with the screen off when it's in audio only mode.

This is legitimatly the one app all 5 of my kids agree on. They love the books, especially when we find ones we already own. The "worst" part is when a favorite book leaves, but that usually just means it's time for us to buy it for our own library. The way the illustrations are animated means that the kids feel like they're watching TV, but as a former reading teacher, I love that the words are included so they can take in some written language. It's also easy to cast!

UPDATE: they have fixed the bug that caused the app to crash constantly. Out works great now, yay! I love that it is not just another screen. The reading pace is great for kids to be able to follow along. Huge variety of books to choose from. Highly recommend. I can not get anything to play on the app. Every time I try, it says there is an unexpected error and restarts the app.
