Little Story Maker for Negative User Reviews
✓ BrilliantBrilliant for children who love English and imagining. But does keep crashing.Version: 1.0
✓ It's ok...It's great! But I was showing my family on Apple TV my book that I made and it crashed and I lost half my book! Please fix☺.Version: 1.0
✓ Too Many FreezesThis could be a great app. Since the last update it freezes when creating and especially when trying to play the book. Months ago when I created my first book, I liked the app. Now I dislike it very much and will not recommend it to anyone. I am also thinking of not trying other recommended Grasshopper Apps. Hope this can be fixed. I teach small children and would love for them to be able to use this app..Version: 1.0
✓ Good StartPositives: Great concept, easy to figure out, nice reader. Negatives: Page recordings did not work. Page recordings overwrote each other. Settings like word highlight won't stay off. Pages cannot be moved around. Book cannot be shared when completed. No rudimentary in app help. No sample book. Crashes a lot. There are better apps to send your time on developing a children's book..Version: 1.0
✓ Great if would work consistentlyI love this app. It has so much potential. It hasn't crashed on me while saving, but it doesn't save consistently. And when i read the stories it freezes up at the end every time. As to features, it would be nice if you could take the pictures while in the app, and not just use them from the camera roll..Version: 1.0
✓ FreezesI would give this app 5 stars but unfortunately it freezes and crashes all the time. I can get half way through a story but that's it. I love this app just wish it wouldn't crash so much..Version: 1.0
✓ Freezing and not recording voice.Would be a 4 star review if the problems could be fixed. One of the templates doesn't play at all. Recording is inconsistent - doesn't record most of the time. Added bonuses would be options to share with iBooks and Dropbox. Also the provisions to take photos from within the app. Has the potential to be great..Version: 1.0
✓ TeachernRevieweReviewing this app as we decide what digital storytelling apps to put on our student iPads. I love most Grasshopper Apps, so I was expecting this to be so great, but I'm sadly disappointed to see many of the same things other reviewers are complaining about. The first book I made worked fine, but now for further examples, it limits what I can add for text and then when I save the book, a blank book appears on the book shelf and when I try to open it, the app freezes up on a white screen. I'm using an iPad 2 with recently updated iOS. Hopefully developers will get these issued resolved soon!.Version: 1.0
✓ Manque d'espace pour le texteSemble intéressant et facile d'utilisation MAIS pourquoi si peu d'espace pour les textes?.Version: 1.0
✓ Good but...I line this app but When I try to read the book my girl made or listen to it being read to me I can't the whole app just quits 😥😡😱.Version: 1.0
✓ Not goodIt keeps exiting and it dose not work good at all.Version: 1.0
✓ App Crashes and FreezesWhat a wonderful App but creators please fix. The app keeps crashing and freezing..Version: 1.0
✓ Still figuring it outI'm trying to get all the parts to work for me and just read the help section. I'm excited to make a story. It would be a great tool in the classroom. I get the feeling that books are available somewhere but where? I have plenty to learn! Why does the app stop working suddenly?a.Version: 1.0
✓ :DThis is a great app, but if you could just please repair the freezing problem. Otherwise it's worth 5 stars!.Version: 1.0
✓ I like it but...Great idea-love that you can add audio into the picture on the page, not just the text; also love the highlighting ability and being able to match it with your speech rhythm. However it does crash a lot-I figured out if you create one page at a time, then it won't crash during creation-but that is an inconvenience...also when I finish reading the story, it freezes and I can't get back to home page unless I "x" out. I do like the app. I would give it more stars if you could fix these issues-it is easy to work with and a great idea otherwise-PLEASE FIX when you update!!!.Version: 1.0
✓ Could be good but keeps crashingCould be so good but keeps crashing. 1st ebook was great-quick and easy to make but after that keeps crashing... if it gets fixed it would be 5*.Version: 1.0
✓ Has potential but crashesAwesome idea very similar to book creator but free. BUT...as soon as you try to add audio it crashes and closes. Also you need to be able to write more in the text area. So silly having a make a book app that you can only write like 20 characters. It's a shame because this app has good potential... If it worked properly!!.Version: 1.0
✓ Rubbish. Don't botherIf u come out of the app to answer a app or play somthing else u have to restart ur HOLE book. It is lucky to even get 1 star!!!!!!.Version: 1.0
✓ Does not saveUnfortunately this app does not save very well. Made a story with my son and pressed save after every page. But app freezes and content is lost. This happened three times. Frustrating if all the work is lost..Version: 1.0
✓ Crash, Crash, CrashAlways crashes..Version: 1.0
✓ PoorMade a book. Easy. Tried to view it and the app closes every time. Very frustrating..Version: 1.0
✓ NoI do not like this app because it's crashing I'm getting angry.Version: 1.0
✓ RubbishDoesn't work.Version: 1.0
✓ Could be great but super glitchyI love the idea of this app but it is currently so glitchy - closes often on its own accord, freezes on some pages, "read to me" function often doesnt work etc. Would be great if these issues could be resolved! Some other modifications that would be great would be being able to write more than a sentence for each page, and being able to move the writing box around..Version: 1.0
✓ Please fixThis would be an excellent app if it worked, freezing and shutting down is very frustrating. This could be so good. Guys please fix this app and it will be 6 stars. Also add the ability to email final book so friends and family away from home can also enjoy..Version: 1.0
✓ I need help !!!This app is a great app but i don't know how to use it can someone help me please.Version: 1.0
✓ Little story makerLovely app - really useful for story writing for children in primary education. Very simple to use.Version: 1.0
✓ DisappointingI was very optimistic that this program would allow my young writer to make their own books. I also hoped to help struggling readers with the read by myself feature. Sadly the recordings don't match the pages during playback and the program is constantly crashing. The idea is brilliant... Execution very disappointing. Please fix the bugs!.Version: 1.0
✓ STUPID APPI can't delete my story's or read them.Version: 1.0
✓ Good IdeaWas looking forward to piecing photo story together but half way through I was let down by this APP as it crashed leaving me at a starting position tried once more but once again #failed.Version: 1.0
✓ Could be good but isn't.This app is simple and could be good except it has obvious and significant flaws. The main one is that the voice recording does not work. If you record more than one page of dialogue it takes over all the pages. Fix this and your app will get a hire rating. Add options for text fonts and the like too..Version: 1.0
✓ Crashes,dumps everythingI think the concept is great, but unfortunately, it doesn't work. I have tried to build a story, but it doesn't save text, pictures, or audio, even when you push save. I have just lost a lot of time trying. And yes, it crashes about every 2-3 minutes, but even when it doesn't crash, none of your work is saved. If they can fix this, it will be a great app..Version: 1.0
✓ AwfulI have a class set of iPads with this app already installed. Since I'm having problems getting my school district to install the story app I really wanted to use (toontastic) , I finally decided to let the students try it. They wrote their rough drafts on paper and finally were ready to use the app. I should have realized that since the app froze several times on my own personal iPad, that it would do the same on theirs. Sure enough after several students finished telling the story, the app froze up. I deleted, reinstalled, redid the entire story on my iPad, and sure enough froze again. I contacted customer support and got no reply. I have never felt the need to write a review of an app until I had to tell 20 kids that we would have to redo the stories on iMovie. Thanks grasshopper for my wasting students time!.Version: 1.0
✓ Very goodI like this app but it shuts down after reading a story. It would be better to go back to the home screen. I like to be able to record my own voice and match it with the words. Sometimes it's hard to get the voice and highlighted words to sync up..Version: 1.0
✓ Great idea, disappointing executionPlease continue developing, here are the main things that need fixing: -flexibility on layout options - sizing picture and adding more than one per page in different places -writing more than one sentence at a time -on front cover need to allow for two lines of text (title and subtitle) -plus name of author and illustrator etc; - save to pdf; format for flipping pages outside the app - crash fixes. We couldn't even see the book when it was done- kept crashing. Minor add ons: - choose fonts - choose pic from app library (in case one doesn't have a suitable one) I like the idea of adding video instead of pics- again, needs more flexibility on layouts, video formats, sizing and bug fixes..Version: 1.0
✓ ConfusedI would give this 5 stars but when I first put in the text then changed it it kept going back to what i first put in!! Annoying!! So finally I fix it, and finish it. I go through it and the text I fixed was back to the original text, and I don't know how to fix it! Help!.Version: 1.0
✓ Meh!Good app but it ALWAYS crashes when I try to use it....Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn't work-always crashesHas the potential to be a great app....BUT always crashing and losing work. Frustrating to use. Disappointing when make a book to not be able to view or save it. Obviously a few bugs needs sorting. PLS PLS PLS DEVELOPERS SORT-tried lots of times-but just doesn't work-continual crashing-but great idea and app if you can get it working.Version: 1.0
✓ CrashesWould be a great program if it did't crash after the fourth page and it didn't save what was done! I would be willing to pay otherwise!!!.Version: 1.0
✓ Three words...crash, crash, and crashThis application started as my dream app, and would have stayed that way if it didn't crash ALL THE TIME. The available features are fantastic (ability to add clickable features with audio in the illustrations, recording yourself reading the book, etc.) but you have to go through a bunch of steps to save after each change or else you lose everything each time it crashes. And even after a book is created, if the app crashes while you're just making a few small changes...poof...the whole book disappears...gone. Horrible, horrible app, but so much potential!.Version: 1.0
✓ BaaaaadThis app stinks it keeps crashing and I would not recommend it to anyone. This app needs to be fixed!!!.Version: 1.0
✓ Stories don't playback. Crashes.Doesn't work. Don't waste your time.Version: 1.0
✓ NopeI used it at home and it worked very well except the recording feature; it wouldn't even turn on. When my Ipad class downloaded it to use they were creating their stories of Watergate and the Court Cases that went with them. Then they all started crashing and it didn't save any of their work. Until they fix it....I wouldn't use this again..Version: 1.0
✓ Great potential but is very unreliableThis app has some really clever features which if they worked, I would gladly pay for - unfortunately free though it is, it`s prone to crashing and often won`t save changes to previous work - in the worst case it lost all my work..Version: 1.0
✓ Write a Story Alligator AppThere are some technical issues that must be worked out for use on an iPad. Sometimes the voice recording is not in time with the correct page. When I tried to correct the issue the whole thing froze up on me. I absolutely love the concept, but the bugs must be worked out. The Alligator apps books are wonderful, and it would be great to be able to create our own with our students..Version: 1.0
✓ Une bonne idée maisJ'ai beaucoup de problème à sauvé mon histoire il ne sauvegarde pas les modifications. App bien penser mais beaucoup chose a règler. je lui donnerais bien un 5 étoiles mais règler les broblème avant..Version: 1.0
✓ Little story makerI read reviews saying it crashed but thought I would try it as I may be able to deal with it !! OH DEAR. IT DOES NOT WORK ! Crashes as soon as you try and read the story created. To make the story is wonderfully simple. Shame it isn't fit for purpose. Come on app developers. Listen to these reviews. What's the point other wise..Version: 1.0
✓ Good but badThe app itself is really easy to use, it took me a minute do discover it had pages, a welcome addition. It seemed it would be great. But, as I wanted to read it, it crashed. Now, it does it every time. Sort that out, and its great!.Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn't workAwesome idea but it doesn't work. It keeps crashing, after 5 attempts to complete a story and loosing all the pictures every time I decided to delete the app.Version: 1.0
✓ App closesThis app I found very easy to use, however once I created my books the app just closes. Then when I open it and try to review the book, the app closes again. Very frustrating after all the work put in and now I can't use them. Please fix this bug ASAP as I would like to use the app.Version: 1.0
✓ PotentialTheoretically this is an amazing app...unfortunately it glitches. Small app size is a bonus, super easy to insert photos from the camera (but requires cropping to square, can't even zoom out to have white borders around a landscape so prepare to lose some visual information). The recording and text highlighting option is, again, brilliant, but glitches. Easy to use interface; easy to type text, easy to record, easy to move pins for highlighting option (notes on use may be helpful, since once I figured out I just had to touch the pinhead to hear a sound bit I could work fast). So much fun that invisible sound buttons can be placed on the photo, and those seem to work. However...the recordings for the text don't always work (not sure if it happens when you get too many pages or go back to record out of order or edit) as the last recording gets assigned to the first page and the rest are silent (though highlighting still happens). Also, sometimes when you try to create a new book, the last one created is duplicated, and when I tried to remove the double all the info in my first book was erased too. :( very frustrating after putting in so much work. Also, save doesn't always work- went in to remove all punctuation so word library could be used and changes did not save. It would be nice if slightly longer sentences could fit on a page. Nice if the templates matched what you get (both show the text under the photo, and both overlap the photo-should have one of each). Nice if the arrow after the last page in a book took you back to the bookshelf rather than crashing. Nice if the word library could recognize punctuation! When I get a book that works my son smiles and laughs to hear the narration, loves to look at the pictures and to see himself in the stories. I can see how this app would be perfect if it wasn't for the above listed flaws. Just needs a little work..Version: 1.0
✓ App is broken, please fixWhen I record sound it crashes every time in either template. I tried it without sound but I can only add one page. I can’t see how to save it or go to the next page. I am deleting this app if I can’t find an update.Version: 1.0
✓ CRAPThis app is total crap dont get it itll give ya anger issues soon.I wanted to make a album book thing ok it took alot of time for me so then i saved the book i closed it so i can play crossy road i closed crossy road and opened the app and it says on my book "no title." Then i made another and tried to remember the pics that i chose for my old book i saved an all then i said to my self "this time id save and read then close. SO I DID THAT i closed, tried of another game wont harm so i opend jetpack joyride i played a couple of times i closed then opend the app and surprise surprise NO TITLE so if your gonna buy this app I suggest that you dont POSITIVE: If your device isnt like mine than you can reas books in peace:).Version: 1.0
✓ OkayReally fun but I spent so long trying to make a story finally it was done but when I tried to open it up and read it the second page wouldn't work and ended back up on my home screen!.Version: 1.0
✓ TeacherGreat, but you can not edit. so if you want to make a change or add a picture, you have to start all over again. You can not delete. I am ready for the updates soon..Version: 1.0
✓ OkIt's ok, it need more space to write a page and make it easier to edit because I edit it after I write it and then it goes back to square 1.Version: 1.0
✓ So much potentialThis app has so much potential. Unfortunately with the crashing and voice overs becoming out of sync, it's not quite there yet..Version: 1.0
✓ Crashes, Freezes, and Not ConsistentAmazing/outstanding app - but not reliable. During workshop of teachers who were so excited to create own story, record voice, and have the words highlight when read … only to have it crash at the last step. Please fix ….Version: 1.0
✓ Constantly crashingI think this app does have potential, but it currently crashes every time I try to add some audio!.Version: 1.0
✓ DisappointedIt keeps freezing and crashing after I record my voice! Sooo frustrating and couldn't work out how to fix the bug. Pleaaaaaase can you fix that..Version: 1.0
✓ Promising but not reliable enough.I thought this app was brilliant at first but it kept crashing and not saving. It would be a great feature if you could save the file and email it. When it did crash I sometimes had to turn my phone off and on again. I was going to use this in school but not reliable enough..Version: 1.0
✓ BoringAll it is, is pictures! And not a single sentence can fit in the text! You better watch out, or your rating will be ruined!!!.Version: 1.0
✓ Little.. MakerGreat app, just please fix the glitches - keeps freezing and dropping out.Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn't workVery similar to another app which does not crash. The recording facility doesn't work and is the main reason for the app's malfunction..would give zero stars if I could..Version: 1.0
✓ Great app, keeps crashingAlthough the idea of this app is great I tried it and the app kept crashing on me. Or I would finish the story and then go back and my story book would be a white page. My kids got so frustrated that it kept on crashing or showing a white screen that it was not worth using the app. It would of been a great app...... if it worked..Version: 1.0
✓ Crashes and stuff 👎It won't let me read my books. Every time I try it crashes. Also you can only write like 5 words per page. That's not exact but it's very few words. It doesn't even have where you can write the author name. It's really not a good app..Version: 1.0
✓ Could be great... but stinks.I'd pay for this app if it actually worked. All it does is crash and not save anything. It's actually exactly what I wanted as I love all the grasshopper apps e stories for kids - my little ones love hearing their teachers voice. But like I said, it just... Won't work. Until you fix it, it therefore stinks..Version: 1.0
✓ So sad; not goodLayout appears user friendly, but we found this app cumbersome to use. It also frequently crashed while trying to include our photos, and despite saving our work we lost everything with each crash. Hope this can be improved!.Version: 1.0
✓ Keeps crashing!!Has fantastic potential but continuously crashes after the 10th photo, very frustrating as it would be a fantastic app that I would use all the time. Please fix!!!.Version: 1.0
✓ Little story makersA great app when it works. A little temperamental which is a shame!!.Version: 1.0
✓ It is ok but ......I like it but I can't write much so I can't make good books but if you could write more it would be really good.Version: 1.0
✓ Frustrating!!!!This app is a great concept if it worked. My son has special needs and is learning to read. I thought he'd love to read a book about himself. So I spent a significant amount of my precious down time creating a book for my son. My first attempt was randomly dropped & erased after loading & recording 9 entire pages. The next 5 attempts just refused to be saved after I spent considerable time & effort writing these stories! Frustrated and disappointed don't even begin to capture how I felt trying to get this app to do what it says it does. I have never ever reviewed an app but I feel I need to warn other parents not to waste their precious quiet alone time on something that simply doesn't work & is inconsistent at best! Sorry-but it's true..Version: 1.0
✓ So-soI was so excited when I found this app to use with our kindergarten students, but it hasn't worked as I envisioned. Like others mentioned, the app has continuously crashed or froze. Many projects have been erased for no reason and I can't even begin to say how sad the kids are. I also wish there was an option with the recording to preview it better. You waste more time guessing where to drop the pins for the word recognition than actually creating the book. This app could have a lot of potential if it is improved..Version: 1.0
✓ Great idea lots of bugsWhen this app works it's great but it often freezes and doesn't always save properly..Version: 1.0
✓ CrashesConstantly crashes when trying to play the book..Version: 1.0
✓ Needs some work...Has potential to be a very useful app for beginner writers and readers. Unfortunately not as easy to use... And the app continually shuts down..Version: 1.0
✓ Great App for social storiesThis is a great app but I do sometimes have issues with it when first starting it up. It has been very useful for working with my children so its still 3 stars!!!.Version: 1.0
✓ CrashThe concept is smart, but the app keeps crashing and whatever work you had done is lost. I restarted my first story 3 times before realizing this app is wasting my time.....sorry but that's the truth.Version: 1.0
✓ AverageThis game is good but once you close the app down you can't add to your stories Please help me!.Version: 1.0
✓ A bit more work neededI love this app but keep finding it freezes and the sound recording won't work properly. Some of my students finished their work only to find that it didn't save properly or a white screen come up. Once this is fixed it will be great. It would also be good to be able to email a finished book so students can share their books with others..Version: 1.0
✓ Great concept but can't use because it crashes and deletesI love the concept of this app! I want to make social stories for the children in my classroom that need extra attention and encouragement. I have tried making the same story multiple times and, each time, the app has crashed, frozen, and/or deleted my story. I allowed a student to record his own voice on each page (since it was a story about him) and, when we got finished, the app had mixed the recordings up on several pages, sometimes having the same recording on multiple pages. It made no sense at all! The little boy got frustrated (and bored) with it because we kept trying to get it right and the app kept messing it up. Please keep trying to fix the bugs because, like I said, it's a GREAT CONCEPT for an app!.Version: 1.0
✓ It just doesn't work.......which is a shame as potentially it's a great app for home, or for use as a teaching tool. It crashes when trying to preview work, and you lose everything. It crashes when you open it, and just crashes sometimes for no reason..Version: 1.0
✓ Brilliant app but crashesPlease fix this app so it doesn't crash continuously as it is brilliant otherwise.Version: 1.0
✓ PlanteCette app a du potentiel, mais elle plante tout le temps..Version: 1.0
✓ Great Idea, Poor executionLike many have said, once you get to the end of the story it freezes. There's no way to go back, there's no way to double tap the home button to fix it, you have to close out the entire program and start over again. Also, you can only type one small sentence per page. If these were fixed it would get four stars. If the ability to share your stories via email, etc, was added it'd get five stars..Version: 1.0
✓ Promising but needs tweakingCouldn't get recording features to work and app crashed when using the auto play back button. Also, where is the "save" button?.Version: 1.0
✓ More workI finish my slide then i press read myself but it gets straight out of the app.Version: 1.0
✓ Kids disappointedThis is an awesome app however it is not saving my text and just freezing after forth page, the kids were so excited to read there story but ended in tears when it wouldn't work properly😭😂😫😩 please please please fix???.Version: 1.0
✓ SherylIt a great learning tools for the Deaf sudents to learn to write own stories but the text box isnt big enough. Also it vey difficult to read when typing esp if yu have vision impaired as well. Need to have choices of choosing colours to help with writing a creative sentences such as using colour coded for nouns, verbs etc.. To help students understand sentence iting structure..Version: 1.0
✓ CrashingWhen you try and record you voice the app crashes and exits. Please fix..Version: 1.0
✓ Please read thisThis app is a HORRIBLE app. When the screen froze, I wanted to go to the iPhone home screen, guess what! When I went to the iPhone home, it made me go to the app again. So I tried to do it again, it made me go back!!! It was so annoying! I finally pressed the home button twice and it worked. Don't get it! 👺😡.Version: 1.0
✓ Doesn't work!It turned out a really good idea, easy to use, but then when I tried to see what I had done, it deleted everything and crashed. Please fix!!.Version: 1.0
✓ Good but...I would rate this 5 stars but every time I try to write THE WHOLE APP QUITS 👿😡😫👎👎👎.Version: 1.0
