Wonderful books beautiful videos app does not open

These books are beautiful! I love the story choices! Love videos but it does not open any more on any of my devices! I have tried deleting it and reloading it! I’ve tried powering down my device. Nothing works! Help!

Why when we exit it takes the book away?

When I read and take a break a leave the book the book is gone

This app never let’s me read my favorite books!!!!!

So I try to read the books I want to read but when I got on a books it never worked I feel like I need to wait for a month or two years. It only let’s me read two books. I didn’t even wait . And that’s why I gave it a one star .

Only loads a few titles

First, I want to say this is my 3yo’s favorite thing ever. He LOVES Storyline Online. Unfortunately, in the past few days, it has stopped loading anything after The Case of the Missing Carrot Cake. It’s such a bummer, because my preschooler lives for The Coal Thief, Clark the Shark, and The Kiss That Missed.
I tried to find a feedback button so I could submit this privately, but couldn’t find one.
Please fix this! I have rebooted my phone and deleted and reinstalled StorylineOnline . No change.

Fix the captions

I love StorylineOnline and it’s intention, but for children who use captions due to hearing loss or to practice reading along, StorylineOnline is doing a huge disservice! The point of StorylineOnline is to encourage reading and yet the captions are no where near the words of the story. We were watching The Busy Schedule of Ernestine Buckmeister and there were more wrong words than right. Very disappointing.

Great until...

My child loves StorylineOnline!
Unfortunately we can’t watch it very long before it cuts off and returns to my home screen on my phone.
Hopefully it will get fixed soon because it is an overall good app!

LOVE IT but..

I loveeee storyline online but to the point in the middle of the story it just stops and it kicks me out of StorylineOnline ...And also on the YouTube version there are captions and they cover up the pictures while SchoolTube dosen’t have captions.But my other concern is that when I press SchoolTube it immediately thinks i pressed YouTube and thats a huge oof!

From Kelly

Amazing!!!!!

I love this
App!!! There
Are so many books!! I love library lion! Highly Highly recommend!!

Wonderful

My daughters love listening to the stories during bath time. It is relaxing and provides another voice to story time in our house. We have listened to 90% of the books and enjoy listening again and again.

I love it

It is really fun to read books and really good that it is free it is also really good for kids

Great App for Kids

StorylineOnline is a lot like the CBeebies Bedtime Stories we had in the UK. Please make it available to play on Apple TV!

Please add more books

Please add more books

Just downloaded your app. but, for a long time, I’ve enjoyed sharing your stories and very special ‘readers’. You are a gift! Keep up the good work.
L.V. in Central Oregon

Excellent narrations to go along with the visuals of the book.

I’m really hoping for an Apple TV version soon, so I going to tie up my computer whenever I’m showing it to the kids at school on the big screen.

Amazing Amazing Amazing!

So its been a couple of days now since i have been using storyline online but there is one thing about the schooltube thing here are the problems:
Schooltube has no captions(there is a head phone jack stuck in my ipad)

The schooltube sponser at the bottom keeps bring me to the schooltube website(please put it some where else)

I dont use schooltube but some of the schooltube sponsered videos are there and i like those books.

Thank you sag-aftra foundation for making StorylineOnline !

Inconsistent

StorylineOnline does not work consistently on any of my school iPads, new or old, regardless of WiFi connection. Desperately needs to be updated.

The worst

I Tried most of the stories and none of them had sound it was the worst app I ever have had I have no recommendation for StorylineOnline don’t download it ever

Doesn’t work

App doesn’t load any books.

Keeps freezing and shutting down

Please help!

Two problems

First every time I click on the story it goes to another one and second it cuts off after every introduction

Excellent narrations to go along with the visuals of the book.

I’m really hoping for an Apple TV version soon, so I going to tie up my computer whenever I’m showing it to the kids at school on the big screen.
