Wow Just You Ruined My Time!

I Used To Love This App! When I Was In 1st Grade I Always Loved This! But Now. There’s 1 Glitch! 1 Freeking Glitch! When I Was Making A Story I Can’t Put My Photos, Or Videos To The Next Page! Does That Mean I Can Only Have 1 Photo Or Video On My Book? That Does Not Make Sense Please Add A Way Where We Can Add Videos Or Photos To The Next Page.

Has potential..

I love how you can add photos/videos and have voice overs for kids to listen to. BUT the video did not load up at all for me whether I took it with the app or used my regular video to upload. The login is also wonky because I tried making an account and it said that I already used the email, but when I went to retrieve my password with “Forgot Password” my email was not valid….so that is annoying. Tried emailing tech support, but it doesn’t seem to exist..and I copied and pasted it. Please fix the bugs! It’s a cute app and I would to use it with more of my students and share with their teachers and parents.

Has some glitches, but good idea

I have used this for video modeling and picture scheduling for special needs students. It is easy to use, but sometimes randomly closes when I am trying to create a story. Sometimes when I am trying to add a picture, it switches the picture to a different page. AND, most significantly, like other reviewers have mentioned, it is impossible to backup or share it with anyone, so it is just only good to use personally. It has potential, but needs some work. I am looking forward to an update that fixes these problems.

Easy to use...when it works

I am using this app with two first grade classes. It was easy to use and add pictures, but when we started to record, about half of the students reported the app crashed and closed. I have emailed the developer with no response. Definitely frustrating as this project is intended to be on display for our upcoming Open House. Finally, as others have mentioned, I don’t understand why there isn’t a universally recognized way to share this project. Our parents don’t want to download an app just to view one project. But really, please fix the crashing issue.

So much potential, so frustrating!

I originally downloaded this app, tried it out, and was able to back up and share stories perfectly well. However, the next time I used it, I was unable to log back in, and am unable to create a new account. I’ve contacted customer support multiple times with no response. The story creation part works really well-that’s what makes this app so frustrating! If it all-around sucked, I could write it off as another useless app. I WANT this to work-hopefully they update it and fix their bugs and customer support problems.

Good idea, but needs work.

This app succeeds at being very easy to use and understand, but there are too little editing functions to allow creativity. Users would probably like to place images where they want instead of dead center and framed. The pen only has four colors. Seriously, that's bad. I don't get that decision. Overall, it has potential. This iteration is probably not usable considering the plethora of other options.

Used to love this App!

I have used this app to create step by step tasks with Picture and audio prompting for my daughter to cook with and do household tasks.... she is a non-reader due to a traumatic brain injury. I could create on my iPad and email to her and I loved that. Ever since iOS 10 came along that function is gone. I have emailed the developer (you) more than once with my concerns about not being able to email from one device to another. In reading the comments I see that we are supposed to email the developer but since he – she doesn't respond I'm not sure what to do. Please fix! I have heard rumors that this app will be nonfunctional on iOS 11 is this true???

Great! But needs more colors...

This is great! I am making a series with this! That was my dream! But I need a custom color palette. I was trying to make oatmeal but there wasn’t any tan color so I had to color it orange! In conclusion, this is great app but it needs more colors.

You are totally right i downloaded this and i kept trying to fix this over and over and i deleted it right away and i also got really mad from this because every time i tried putting a video on my story and i kept saying the same things in it because I wanted for it to save the video that i created and it also crashes when I Put a video in my story

Video allowed is way too short!

I went to record a book to read to my students and after the cover, the introduction page all I was able to read was two sentences and it said video was too long

Poor customer support

I need assistance with my login and attempted to email customer support. My email was rejected because Alligator Apps thinks my email is spam. I am unable to retrieve or change my password because the app does not recognize my educator email. Therefore, I am unable to share social stories I creat for my autistic students with their parents for use at home. It is very frustrating.

Nice Idea, But needs a Lot Of Work

I think that you could make some changes. First, it would be nice if instead of having to have pictures right in the middle and framed, you should let users pick where to put the picture. Second, you should have a larger selection of colors to pick from. Lastly, you should be able to add videos. Those are the improvements you could make. -Madame Pinkypopo

Can’t share it

I attempted to make an account 3 times using 3 different emails. Each time it said that my email address was taken. Without creating an account you can’t share the story which I was hoping to do for a group teletherapy session tomorrow. If this feature worked it would be a good app.

I luv this application

This is a very easy application to write children picture books using your own picture files. I recommend it!!

4 colors

I liked this game but when I was in App Store before I got this it said you could use a lot of colors but when I played this game there where only 4 colors there’s not enough colors if there is a way to have more colors pls tell me how if there’s no way to get more colors than pls make more colors

It is really fun to create story’s with this app!

I also like to add pictures. It makes it colorful! It’s also fun to record your voice instead of writing.

AWFUL

As I first joined I did my first story, it was a game one with only 9 pages. I finished and I press the save button, it says put three fingers parental gate. I put my fingers on it I put my email and everything I press complete sign up and it says email taken. I never had this app, I rate it a 0.1 star. Nobody should get this app. I tried my whole familys email and all of them says “email taken” none of them have this app.

It’s pretty okay but needs a few little tweaks

First of all it won’t let me use more than one photo . Second why are there only four colors in the drawing section? Third please make crayon sizes if you did please tell me where they are. I would be so happy if you made those changes.

Great idea if it worked

The way this app functions is absolutely perfect. It’s exactly what I want to be able to take videos and photos of my students, then compile them to share. However, I have yet to be able to create an account to actually save or share the work. It’s incredibly frustrating to have all the time and effort put in with nothing to show for it!

7 years ago, 1st grade student

Good but needs fix

I’m a 1st grade student. This app is good but I can’t add videos. Also, when I try to put pictures in different pages the picture always goes to the first page and replaces the picture I’ve had already put there. Please fix this! Thank you.

This game is awesome!

I think this game is awesome and I shared my stories with my friends! I would love this on my tv to actually use a pencil or something to use one it! Great game!

Ok, but one problem

When I write on a page, it only lets me do one line, so I can not do paragraphs on a page. Other than that it is great.

Awesome Little App

I use this App to create alphabet and rhyming books in my Pre-K class. The Kiddos love to record their voices and capture their creations! It’s pretty handy!

4 years ago, aaabacabc123

Very disappointing

The app has many glitches and is very frustrating. I am unable to share my creation. Customer service is extremely poor and has yet to attempt to help resolve my issues. Their responsiveness and lack of any help is very disappointing. I feel bad giving a poor review but I would not recommend the app.

Cool app

I like this app because you can draw and place photos I just think you should let them put a title

Adding voice made it crash

Trying to add voice recording caused it to crash. Stuck with photo and text and it worked fine for a simple story.

9 months ago, half it

Frustrated. I used this app in the past but now it won’t let me log in and when I ask for help it gives me an invalid email to contact. If I try a new email address it says already used.

So much for stellar support

Been trying to get answers as to why I cannot register or log in to the app in order to get to menus to share the books I’ve made (that part of the app is pretty good). In multiple emails to the developer, I have not been responded to. Sad.

Wasted a lot of time

Glitchy, kept saying my email was “taken” when I tried several different emails that I had never used to sign up before. I spent 30 minutes making a story but could never share it because it began to glitch. Frustrating.

Cannot export the books

Its a sinple app with only one template. The audio sync is the best feature. But unfortunately one cannot login or create an account. Without loging in i cannot export the books (probably books are compiled on the server end). Looks like there is no server to log on too

WHERE IS MY STORY??????

Purchased the PRO version. Made a story about taking my grand baby to the zoo. IT’S GONE!!! Try to sign on, says invalid password. Pressed forgot my password, says enter a valid email. Try to create a new account, says my email is already taken. Catch 22. I’m so angry right now!!!! AND NO CUSTOMER SUPPORT…NONE NONE NONE!!!!

Cool app, lots of bugs

I spent about 30 minutes making a story for the students in my special education app. If you want to share the story, you need to log in. The problem is that it will not let you create an account or log in. What a waste of time!!

I love this app, but it needs some work. When I am making a story, the game crashes at random times.

App is broken

So I downloaded the app, I go to sign up and it tells me the email is already in use. I go to try a password reset or anything at this point and the app tells me to use a valid email. So my iCloud email is either in use or invalid. Also you go to their site and it’s absolute garbage. A bunch of apps listed (although not this one) and a link urging you to sign up for spam in return for a free app. Nothing else. When will devs stop spamming the world with crap?

Cannot create an account

When entering any email address it will show a message that says, “email taken”. I then tried entering my email and pressing forgot password and a message appears that the email is not valid.

Nice app, but very glitchy

Nice app for making social stories for special education purposes. However, I can’t create account. Developers need to put some attention into fixing these issues so I can use this on my students and clients.
