FarFaria Read Along Kids Books

I have a paid membership. We use it on a new iPad just purchased a few months ago. The app takes forever to load up, half the time it can’t recognize if we are connected to the internet (when we clearly are and no other apps are having the same issue), and books take a long time to load. The app is updated so that’s not the issue either. I will probably keep it through the summer just to have a reading program for my daughter, but once school starts, if her school offers a reading program or substitute I’ll likely cancel this. It’s unfortunate because without the bugs I’d probably keep it, even with school substitutes.

My child loves this app and enjoys listening and following on in the books. I would recommend this to everyone. I do wish some of the books were longer, but we’ve only had the app a short time so I just may have not found longer books. I also wish it also had higher grade levels. I have a son that doesn’t like to read, but started watching my younger one listen to his book.

I have used FarFaria with and without a subscription for several years. It’s been completely consistent in its appeal to my daughter since she started to read until now, at 8 years old. I thought at some point we may get tired of it or find something better, but it’s appeal has remained solid since day 1 and nothing else comes close. And for what it’s worth, I’m also interested in voiceover work, so I find listening to the stories to be beneficial to me, as well! They are very well done. I bought the Lifetime Subscription and my daughter will be thrilled since her yearly subscription ran out and I’d been dragging my feet to renew. It’s a done deal now and I feel very good about it!
