Review momentum
ⓘ How we measure thisReview momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.

From the 36 most recent App Store reviews in the US.
Users express strong disappointment that this app lacks the rich interactivity and animations of the original 1990s Living Books PC version. While some appreciate it as a simple read-along ebook with minor search games, many feel misled by the lack of clickable object reactions.
Mostly negative (31% of recent reviews give 4–5 stars). People like it for being fun. The main complaints are about price and subscriptions, and not being fun. Recent reviews are more negative than earlier ones.
