Reviews
So Excited!
MedLebowski
Fellow Sparklers rejoice! Our family has been waiting for a way to enjoy sparkle stories on the go and we are so excited to be using this app. It is elegant and works well, which is all we could ask for.
Great content, frustrating user experience

My three- and six-year olds love Sparkle Stories. The content is great and this app is super pretty and well-organized. This first version of the app is super-crashy though. We're looking forward to updates!

The first thing it asks me to do is login. How do I create an account? My kids love the stories. Been listening for years. Stories are 5star!
Great app, easy to navigate

This app is fantastic! A few glitches (stopped playing mid-story) but no big deal since it's brand new and I would expect this during its inaugural week! Overall easy to use and of course great content. Love the grouping of stories by age! So happy it's here!

We've been listening for a while through I tunes. Was excited to check out the app. How do you create an account? The stories are awesome and thank you for them--ever since CBBs shut down in the U.S. my 5 yo was looking for new podcasts. This one is great!
Great stories, not-so-great app

I'm hoping the bugs get ironed out and some critical features get included soon. Unfortunately, the app just doesn't match the quality of the storytelling. - overall, the user experience is pretty poor; slow to load and the interface doesn't follow standard practices of most other major audio streaming apps - worth repeating, page loading is very slow, and sometimes the app won't load at all - interface is inconsistent across "my story box" tabs (why no quick access to offline button on stories under the series tab?) - enabling offline access for stories is a pain, and doesn't always work - no user playlists - lock screen media controls don't work properly It's a barebones app that sort of gets the job done, but it has me hesitating over the subscription costs.
Great stories, frustrating app

We love Sparkle Stories. Our kids listen to them all the time and really enjoy them. That said, this app is frustrating. Navigation is difficult, search is inconsistent, and there's no iPad version. The new website isn't much better. Sigh.
Doesn't work offline

Since the latest update this app no longer works offline. This is very frustrating since I am now paying monthly for an app I can hardly use. We mostly use this app on the car, so without this feature it's a waste of money!
Stories are great, app needs work

app is difficult to navigate, hard to track stories you've heard, or just browse everything that's available. Most frustrating of all: THE STORY STARTS OVER when it is interrupted by a phone call. The stories are great and the kids love them, and I'll continue to pay for the subscription despite these issues, but please please correct them.
A great app!

My 3.5 year old loves these stories. We initially just subscribed to the free podcast, but we quickly ran out of new stories as she sometimes listened for 1.5 hours during nap time and bedtime. It's expensive, but worth it. I enjoy them as much as she does.
