Ratings and reviews

Lots of glitches unfortunately. Often hard to find the perspective and angle needed to fully view the activity that matches the page, sometimes the activity that matches the page carries over to the next one and gets in the way, if something seems to go wrong there's no way to go back without starting over completely (at least for me)...

My daughter loves this 3D app. It really made the book come to life. Although, it would be nice if they would put the "hippo magic" symbol on all the pages. It really gives the children something to look forward to when reading each page, instead of trying to skip the pages looking for the hippo, lol. Where can I get more books, so that we can use this 3D app again?

It's ok when it actually works. Most of the time the scanner doesn't open properly on the phone and when it does it takes a while to capture the page. I've given up so many times and just read the book without the phone. Sometimes halfway through as it'll stop working. Once working the idea is quite good and the animations quite cool but it's difficult to read the story and look through the phone to interact with it at the same time. Very disappointing.
