Nooksy: Childrens Story Time

I like the diversity in the library. Some simple stories for fun, some deeper themes, some stories with rich illustrations. My kids love using the app and we are really cultivating a love of reading and of all types of books here.

The idea may be good but the implementation is not. Probably the worst is that the app crashes regularly. Next is that once you get it to run for 5 minutes, it’s very difficult to connect other people and also have a book open and successfully just run a session. The content is also very limited and the books vary from awkward to artsy in a way that just does not grab my kids. I found it difficult to keep their attention for the duration of an entire book. More variety is needed. Lastly, reading just a book while physically together is not particularly nice as the screen is cluttered with links and other options with no way to turn it all off.
