Latest reviews of The Very Cranky Bear app for iPhone and iPad
We love this story and I was so pleased to find the app, but the sound often cuts out or the app shuts down right before the special feature. Frustrating for a parent, more so for a child!
When first downloaded this app was awesome. Now that its been updated (if playing along gathering cards) the screen goes either blue or black preventing us from getting through the entire book even once. Due to narration we once loved this version (we do have it on our home shelf as well) but the other apps for this bear have been working better for us... Btw I did not give myself the title cranky momma bear in relation to this book.
Dont be fooled by the cute graphics - there is almost NOTHING interactive about this story. Unconscionable rip off/ scam alert/ waste of 5$. Considering you can buy all 3 books at scholastic for cheaper - I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!
Really cute and instructional. Reminiscent in a way of "Good Night Moon" with repeated sounds and hidden items.
Sweet story, endearing characters and animations. (Just enough simple animation, its still a book designed to read!) And we LOVE the feature enables you to add your own voice as the storyteller.
