I purchased this app based off online reviews and ads, but after just a day or two of using this app we quickly realized the books are not well known. We tried searching for titles or authors that are well known to kids and none would come up. And we tried using the suggestion category and my daughter was not interested in them at all. I feel like YouTube had what she was more into on the read aloud books with animated characters and sound. I have also used Epic and it was the same.

I am so sorry that you weren't finding titles that you know. We offer a lot of titles that are known, such as "Curious George or Slumberkins" We also have a hand full of fun titles that are Vooks Originals. Please reach out with any questions or if you need help locating a title! You can contact us at support@vooks.com.

My daughter loves this app. I wish it had a sleep timer! She likes to listen to the books as she falls asleep, but I need it to turn off after a while, not keep her tablet on all night. (I have tried using a separate sleep timer app, and I can't get that to work with Vooks either). I'd also love for it to play with the screen off when it's in audio only mode.

This is legitimatly the one app all 5 of my kids agree on. They love the books, especially when we find ones we already own. The "worst" part is when a favorite book leaves, but that usually just means it's time for us to buy it for our own library. The way the illustrations are animated means that the kids feel like they're watching TV, but as a former reading teacher, I love that the words are included so they can take in some written language. It's also easy to cast!
