Bob Books Reading Magic #1 for Negative User Reviews

✓ Where’s the restI thought this app would go in tandem with the books to reinforce what’s being learned. This shows one page of the book and goes to the next book and shows one page. I’m not seeing the value in having this app. Am I missing something?!.Not seein the valueVersion: 3.1

✓ Not a $4 app!This is more like a $0.99 app, if that. The content is not that great and the way they present the words for the sentences, etc... doesn't seem to work well in helping the kids read them or learn sentence structure. My kids, ages 4 and 7, won't even bother using this anymore. There is not much content in terms of variety either. Not sure how it could be improved though....SugarMag23Version: 1.1

✓ TeacherThank you for reducing file size! Please bring back the apps ability to vocalize the letter sounds when you touch on the word prompts! This was the apps best feature. I have taught many ASD student letter sounds and to read by using that feature..ABATeacherAbbyVersion: 2.9

✓ Pretty awfulChildren drag a word ending to the starting sounds. If the starting consonants and the ending do not make a word, it says 'oops' and the ending bounces away. If it does make a word eg ch+eek, then the ending disappears. It does not say the word before the word disappears and it disappears almost immediately, so even if you are working with your child, there is no time to say the word or sound it out before it is gone. Hopeless..Yorks_mumVersion: 2.2

✓ DisappointingGreat idea, but some of the verb choices are terrible. For example: "The vet got the big cat". "Got" the big cat?! Also, in the same scene, when the child taps on the lion (the big cat) they have to spell "cat" when it is clearly a lion. Confusing to a child who has learned to recognise a lion as a lion! The game uses a lot of proper nouns, for example, "Mat", "Kit", "Dot" which I don't think helps preschoolers learn nouns by observation. Confusing when the child recognises the drawing as a man/cat/lady to then have to spell Mat/Kit/Dot. Surely "man", "cat" or "lady" would be a better choice of word to describe the character pictured than an abstract concept like someone's name? They would still be learning how to spell and it would make more sense to a preschooler. Finally, it would be nice to have the option of a British English voice..NVAusVersion: 2.1

✓ A decent supplement to booksAdequate but nothing amazing here. There are 12 "pages" from the books that are repeated at each level of difficulty. Practice and repetition are important, but there's too much repetition for the cost of the app. Should be 1.99..FlyhuntressVersion: 2.6

✓ FFb.IPhone stuffVersion: 3.3

✓ More content please!Love the interactive options and it has so much potential! But I agree with other reviews! Please add more content and capitalize on the limitless potential of the iPad. Look forward to more content per book and the addition of Bob Book# 3 and more!.Sleepwell!Version: 1.5

✓ Can't Read Entire BookIf you already have the Bob books, this app is a disappointment as it only plays the first couple of sentences from each book. There's no ending to the stories--just the first 2 pages. Very frustrating for a 5 yr old..GoodnightNurseVersion: 1.1

✓ Very basic!Full version is exactly like the lite version. Lite version offers 3 scenes. 1 sentence per scene. Full version gives you 9 more sentances for a total of 12 scenes. My 4 year old flew thru all of them in about 5 minutes. For the content that is offered it's great just wish there was more to it. Probably wouldn't spend $4 on it again. maybe $1. We have most of the bob book set and love them. I was hoping this app would be just as great, but there's just not much to it..IamSoBlessedVersion: 1.1

✓ Too Short, BoringI am usually very generous with reviews, but this Bob Book app is just not worth spending on. For a paid app, it is only useful briefly, and then it's time to cough up more money to go on. My daughter is just learning to read, she has a set of Bob Books at home. There are 12 scenes in each section that is theoretically progressively harder. But each section has the same 12 scenes, so my daughter quickly lost interest in it. "Mom they're all the same". I pointed out that they were slightly different skills, and she went on, but it just wasn't very engaging..CatchesthebabiesVersion: 2.4

✓ This is hardI love this app. The actual content is high quality. It executes very well and is an outstanding tool to develop beginning readers. There is simply not enough of it to even begin to justify the price. I hope you guys add more in a future update so the vast majority don't walk away from this purchase feeling overcharged..Kickstand54Version: 2.4

✓ Starts with all letters instead of advancingI like how the regular Bob books teach a few letters at a time. This app starts with all letters from the start so it’s too much for my four year old. I do like their approach though and they sound them out the way I teach him..DanTrachtmanVersion: 3.3

✓ Will not work.I was excited to see that Bob Books had an app so I purchased 1 and 2 for my 1st Gen IPad last year. It worked fine and the kids loved it. I added two iPad minis so more kids could play. Last week, I purchased the sight words as an add-on to my other games. Now Bob Books 1 no longer works on my 1st gen iPad because it is trying to install the new version. HOW do I get my old version back? It is very frustrating because now the kiddos who use the 1st gen IPad are even more limited..KindergartencatladyVersion: 2.9

✓ Love this app!My 6 year old son and I love this app. We have 2 sets of the books and the app works as a fantastic compliment/support to the words and skills he's learned in the books. Reality is that the world he lives in requires reading both in traditional print media and in tech-based media like apps, websites etc, so Bob is core to teaching him how to read and absorb through multiple channels. He gets excited and motivated by recognizing familiar story lines and characters, and engages more deeply as a result. Any parent willing to buy the app should also order the books and use them together to have a robust toolset for learning to read..TherockinmomVersion: 1.5

✓ Warning before you buyI just started teaching my son the Bob Books level one collection and saw the lite version of this app. My son loved it so I purchased the app thinking I was getting the whole level one collection. Turns out, they only give you about 12 or so pages from the collection and 4 levels using the same 12 pages. That said, we really like the app but wish it had the complete collection The 2 stars is because the app makers could of created the whole collection or told people what they were buying ( I feel misled) and the app at $3.99 is expensive for little content..Keleeh1Version: 2.6

✓ $2-3 for 12 pages?!Only 12 pages in reading magic #1. I thought I was paying for the app/digital equivalent of a box set. So disappointed.AmyBoomshakalakaVersion: 3.4

✓ Are you kidding me?My kid blew through this in less than five minutes. Should have 10x the content or be free. Do not buy..Ogilvy P WasabeVersion: 3.4
