Just Grandma and Me App Reviews

This is NOT like the original interactive version that so many kids enjoyed and remember.

I read the little. Critter books to my kids an now I have my first granddaughter an we love the books. Please put more books up for sale thank you love them

I love this book for my grandkids. However, 9 years ago I purchased a DOS cd version and it was the best!!! The grandkids who were toddlers at the tome loved all the whistles and bells of that program. They could click on numerous parts of each page and some action would take place. We have over the years been disappointed that this was not updated for newer computers. AND I continue to be disappointed that this app does almost nothing compared to the old DOS version. My younger grandkids are being cheated. Please come out with that very fun version for iPads. SOON.. Thank you,

The original PC story/game was a classic for a reason. The developers left out the interactive fun of finding the little objects in the scene and watching their animations and sound effects. Instead, all we get is a spider and grasshopper. Even the VoiceOver of Little Critter is different and lacks the endearing quality of the original. I was really disappointed. My two-year-old wasnt thrilled either. Come on guys...

I was so excited to find Grandma and Me in the apps store because I used the computer version first with my children and then with my grand kids. I thought it would be fun on the IPad, so I downloaded it. I cant tell you how disappointed I was with this program! What happened to all the animation! Why couldnt you just convert the original? You already had the program. I didnt mind paying money for this app because I thought it was the same story base! I am going to delete it even though I paid for it. I wish you could find a way to bring back the original. This version is extremely lame!

I too was so excited to see this app that I didnt read the reviews. I loved the computer version and assumed, wrongly, that it was similar. Calling it an interactive book is stretching it - it reads to you and that is it. Back to searching for a truly interactive book.

My daughter has enjoyed it, she likes stories being read to her so its fun for her, not to interactive but ok

I was hoping for an equivalent of the original PC game which was a classic. A key element that made the original a classic was the animations/interaction and the endearing voice of critter. This app does not have them. I would happily pay more to see a full version with the animations.

I love the broderbund interactive Living Books with Little Critter and was so excited to see them offer as an iPad app. NOPE! These are simply an ebook that will read you the story. No interaction what so ever.

I wish I had read the review before I bought this. I too thought it was the interactive version and it is not. I felt that I was misled.

Was very disappointed in this app. Having owned the original interactive version, and having watched my daughter enjoy it for so many years on the computer (finally wore it out) could not believe the "pale version" of the original that this app presents. Although the original pictures and artwork remain, this version is nothing more than flipping through a series of still pictures in a book. None of the charm or delight of being able to touch the screen and play interactively with various creatures in the story now remains. The creativity that went into the orginal was just amazing, and was what made it such a delight and so appealing to kids. This version has been gutted to nothing more than a series of still pictures. What a shame. The story is not even well read by the child narrator. Would not have bought it if I had sampled it first. Hope they decide to fix this. This has been a classic and much loved computer story in our family for so many years. Developers, please fix this so it can be a winner again and charm a new generation!

I do not like this version of Just Grandma And Me at all!!! We bought the computer version many years ago for a child that was like a grandchild to us. We now have our own grandchildren and have been using the computer version with our granddaughter. I thought it would be nice to sit on the couch with her and let her touch the screen on my ipad and she could make the birds sing or the cow moo as many times as she wanted to!!! But not with this version! Im not even going to let her know that I have it on my ipad! Its just like a story book.....all still pictures.....you cant interact with the story at all! Im very much disappointed and would not have made the purchase if I had know! I dont guess we can get a refund????

If you are disappointed in this App because it is not like the original computer version you should check out all the Wanderful interactive storybooks! These are the original Living Books brought back for the iPad. You will love them!!
