Bob Books Reading Magic #1 App Reviews

I agree with another user who has written a comment. The book in the series is much too short. $4.00 is a bit too high. This is not teaching my sister anything. It is just making her memorize. With all due respect.. Last time I checked.. This app is "suppose" to help read. Add more books.

Fantastic and fun way to help kids learn to read... Its a great addition to the Bob Books series!

My granddaughter loves this app. It is helping her with her letters and reading. She loves the colors and the animations. Her favorite is Dot and Dots hat. She will open the app on her own and play this game for hours. Everywhere she goes, she points out hats! It is a fun, educational game that keeps her entertained!

My 3 1/2 yr old loves this app and so do I! I especially love that there is no other hidden fees or extra hidden apps! Good job on building an app that can be independent and not rely on coaxing kids in with junk that doesnt work!!!!! :() Mom approved!

I love to watch kids play this app. They are so intrigued by the whole process - they like dragging the letters, they like watching the animation, they like solving the puzzle of how to spell a word. This app definitely keeps their attention and interest. Plus its educational - a real win/win.

Adequate 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 theres too much repetition for the cost of the app. Should be 1.99.

This is a fabulous app! Very educational and fun. Both my 5 and 3 year olds love it! I think my 5 year old Is getting the most out of it, since shes reading the BOB books now, but I was happy to see my 3 year old enjoying as well. The best part - no advertising in-app purchases directly to my kids! What you see is what you get, a good quality companion to the BOB Books set.

I 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.

This is not the same as the paper Bob books you can buy to help your child learn to read. If he/she is reading the paper version, this app is unlikley to be of any value to him/her. In addition, I paid for the bundle $5.99 but only got Majic #2 on my iPhone. This seems like a rip off and I would not buy this again.

Bought the bundle, magic#1 sound was not working, but magic #2 worked fine. I emailed the support. I had an email within a couple hours with an apology and that the problem would be fwd on to the developer. The next day I had an email with instructions on how to fix the problem. It had to do with a lock function on my iPad. I was extremely pleased with how quickly they fixed my problem. Also the app itself is amazing. My 4 year old son could sight read most all the words of level 1 after only 20 mins of playing on the app. Fantastic app and service!

Sound does not work on app

I play this app with my niece whenever I babysit, she loves playing it and has asked for more.

How is my son supposed to learn letter sounds if there is no sound?? Please fix this app we just paid $4 for.

Extremely disappointed! Should of listened to the reviews. Fix it or take it down!!!

This app is lots of fun. A great app to help kids learn to blend. You can ignore the folks claiming there is no sound, as the sound works perfectly fine if you dont have it muted.

Thank 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.

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.
