was Skeptical but just BUY IT! This app is amazing! I don't allow screen time but the way they do the videos and the words light up is great!! my kids and I both love sitting down and watching a video. I do wish that I could buy the book right from the video 💜 just a suggestion though, I don't mind looking up the book. I have bought many books because of Vooks 10/10

we LOVE VOOKs!! but TOO many bad reviews ESPECIALLY for that price. you can Make it 3 or 4 dollars per month, and even make it more after if it Is consistant. I have a 5 year old that gets super sad and upset about things sometimes and I am not about to have him have a fit for 7dollars ...or FIFTY!!! wAAAAY to much.... might as well go buy the books...he can read anyways, so, I it's really just the animation and voices and music we want to enjoy. too many upset customers.... makes us sad!😕😶

We are really glad to hear your family loves Vooks. Our goal is to offer a calm, purposeful experience that supports early literacy and brings stories to life through animation, voice, and music — all ad-free and carefully curated. That said, we know Vooks isn’t small change for every family, and we take feedback like yours very seriously.

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.
