Latest reviews of Rapunzel Storybook HD app for iPhone and iPad
This app does not work as it should. It does not read the words to you when you press them, yet it advertises it should, one of the reasons I purchased it! The only words it reads is the first word of each sentence...stupid! Contacted support but as yet no reply! Refund wanted!
Can not turn pages manually. Very frustrating. Please send an update for this apt. Donna L
Everything is beautifully drawn and a lot of fun for kids.
Peace
This app advertises "read myself", "read to me" and "music" options. The "read to me" and "music" options do not work. Also, be warned the story is quite different than the tangled movie- in case that is what you were expecting.
