Don’t waste your money like I did. There are no arrows to move on to next page so your just stuck there. Not user friendly for 5 yr old. This is just a lead in to make you buy the books.
Change Sam please! He does not look like from Bob Books book sets!
I was charged $29.99 for this app when it clearly says $2.99 ! I would never have bought it for near $30! I am upset, I have emailed and nobody is getting back to me. No refund... nothing. Not happy!!!! Don’t purchase !
My kid blew through this in less than five minutes. Should have 10x the content or be free. Do not buy.
My 5 year old is using Bob books to learn how to read. She loves that this app features the same characters. She’ll read me one of the books, then excitedly tell me ‘Mama, the cat is orange on my iPad! Let’s play that game now so I can show you!’. The books and this app have really made her excited about reading. As a parent, I love that it’s simple, slow paced, and not overstimulating.
Only 12 pages in reading magic #1. I thought I was paying for the app/digital equivalent of a box set. So disappointed
There seems to be a bug because I set level 2 or 3 in adult mode and it keeps showing only level 1. It is frustrating in an otherwise great app.
When I downloaded it I thought I was going to HATE it but it turned out to be fun my kids love it and they are learning like crazy
I 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.
Esta colección de libros es lo mejor para aprender a leer en inglés. Es divertido, simple, tiene todas las pronunciaciones y es súper didáctico. Los mismos niños querrán usarlo todo el tiempo. Súper recomendado!!

I love this app! So easy to use and learn! I am so happy my grand kids can use it! Thank you!
I 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?!
This is a great app for my 4.5 year old blossoming reader! We are using the first set of BOB books to start her off on reading and this game is a nice supplement. She likes the characters from the books, and I like how the levels progress to add difficulty in nice "baby steps" (i.e. Doesn't jump from too easy to too hard). We love it!
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.
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.
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 don't have it muted.
Extremely disappointed! Should of listened to the reviews. Fix it or take it down!!!
How is my son supposed to learn letter sounds if there is no sound?? Please fix this app we just paid $4 for.
Fun and interactive reading app! My five year old loves it.
Sound does not work
Sound does not work on app
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!
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.
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 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 she's 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.
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 there's too much repetition for the cost of the app. Should be 1.99.
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.
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 doesn't work!!!!! :() Mom approved!
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 Dot's 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!
Fantastic and fun way to help kids learn to read... It's a great addition to the Bob Books series!
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.
We absolutely love the Bob books series. The app is colorful and engaging and my three year old enjoyed playing it. However, it is much too short for a $4 app. I won't buy any other levels.
Shame on you for such a lousy app! For $4 you only include a few lessons and there is no word reinforcement like with the books. You should include a complete set to build vocabulary instead of skipping around. Hard to go from "Mat sat" to "Muff and Ruff tug a rag rug" for Pete's sake!!
These Bob books are great for early reading. We bought both apps provided. We also have the real bob books here at home that we practice reading. We would buy more apps like the bob books if they were provided!
Need to offer existing customers discount to buy full set. Otherwise too much for each set.
This app allows my independent child to learn to read without my help. I love that it sounds out each letter. Great to pair with the books also!
My son learned to read from the paper books-loved them .... The app is great too but $4 for each (4 level) set is too much. My four year old completed set 1 in a few days.
Very engaging -- bright colors, easy to sound-out words. Would recommend for early readers (esp those resisting the reading process).
This is a great app to help children learn to read. Would highly recommend.
At two years old, my toddler easily started using the app. She is learning learning to spell, practice sounds, and enjoys the interactive. The music is pleasant too.
She loves this!
This app is great. We love it. It helped my preschoolers transition into reading stress free.
So easy to use. Even my developmentally delayed child loves it!
Years ago, I used the paper version to teach my nine year old to read. Love this app and am using it with my three year old.
Great teaching tool!!
Good choice to help kids read
Great graphics building on the books but not worth the money. Way to simple and after playing the games once my son was bored. Perhaps the price could include all the Bobs Books series then it may be worth the money! Good try but thumbs down on this one, wish I could return it and get a refund.
