Dr. Seuss Treasury Kids Books

Wow can’t believe how expensiveYearly and monthly subscription must have subscription to read any book. Some apps will at least let you do a lite version or a couple things. This one no…I particularly dislike apps that let you download (with in app purchases available) them and it’s just one big advertisement for itself showing your child everything they can do if you pay money. I would not be opposed to buying an app on occasion if it was worth it, but subscriptions ahhhh!! WHAT?? You want me to pay every month or year to have access to books that I could by and have forever for a fraction of the price. Also advertisement is misleading and there is nothing proprietary about it. You can access all of these very short little books for free online at the library and I see then at the dollar type discount stores all the time for a buck$$ wouldn’t recommend not worth it at all not even interactive.

It’s great having the books all in one app. The app is regularly updated which is also a good thing Disappointed that after purchasing all of the books, advertisements still pop up in the app to purchase the books individually on the App Store. Also the books in this app are like the original books with only a few colors, not like the colorized versions you get when you buy the books individually as apps. Why are the versions different, it’s is the same developer? It’s like you get lower quality product when you get the bundle in this app.

Seems like a cool app.. but here are my drawbacks: 1. No sound options. I’d love to be able to turn off (or down) most of the sounds. A few sound effects from turning a page or pressing on an image of the book is fine, but the constant music when looking to select the books is just too much.. 2. Too slow. There is so much going on in the pictures and not enough words. It’s a time waster, to me. My kid is already great at getting distracted by the pictures in the books, and all this swiping and moving and extra images is too much that it slows him down more. I’d like the simple book, just 1 page per screen (2 pages in horizontal view). 3. No streaming option. I don’t like having to download everything on my phone, taking up so much space. Especially since each book is so animated and requires more space. I would like to be able to just stream the book when I am at home or on the go. If I’m heading out of town, I would download some for that time if possible lack of connection. All other times, I’d rather it not be downloaded. Now don’t get me wrong. I do love the content. I like that the books are sorted by grade so I can see where my child is at. I think the animation is cool in the books, just not as practical for my son.
