Ratings and reviews

There is no option to trial this app without paying for it. As a former early childhood special education teacher I'm picky when it comes to early learning apps. I want to test them out before I pay for them or have my kiddo try them. I hope the developers at least consider a free trial.

There are no sample pages. Cannot try before purchasing. EDIT - **This is on a smart phone, not tablet- No sample option shows when clicking the books**

The app does nothing without the in-app purchases, $12.99 and up. I already have purchased the book, I hate to have to purchase it again. Oh well.
