iStoryTime app review: provide kids with a library

Reviews

Introduction

Most kids absolutely love books whether they are able to read on their own or still need help from an adult. The iStoryTime app for your iPod touch, iPad, and iPhone provides kids with a free seven-day trial giving them complete access to the library. There are titles for all interests appealing to both boys and girls. These books are all narrated and span across classic tales, movies, and TV shows. Because the app acts as a full library it means you'll have it with you while on road trips, enjoying a day at the beach, a bedtime, and any other time kids feel like a story.

Using the App

The way the iStoryTime app works is that parents will be able to purchase titles and once they do it will show up in the child's library. Kids can scroll through their library and enjoy any book on the shelf. Not to worry they won't be able to purchase books on their own and they won't have to see all the books available that they don't have access to. This means parents don't have to worry about the "I want this" whining that can happen, instead what they see is what they’ve got.

The graphics and user experience are both impressive and smooth. Kids will have no problem navigating the app and the individual stories on their own. The books are meant for pre-readers and early readers so the content will appeal to their skill level.
