The Going to Bed Book by Sandra Boynton App Reviews

These books are some of my daughters favourites, and seeing this one on iTunes, I had to get it for them. Not one to allow much tablet time, this book is a great compliment to the real version we have at home. Animations and such are great for our little people.

Great, meraviglioso, wunderbar! For everyone who has children !!!! You saved my evenings!!!! My children stay at least 1 hour on your books!!!!!!! Thanks! Please make some other!!!!!!!

I just installed this on my iPad Air running IOS 9.3.2, and I have perfect sound. This is a great quick bedtime story: perfect when you hear, "PLEASE? Just ONE more story?!?" Suggestion: If you dont have sound, look at the switch to the right of the volume keys (on iPad). If you see orange, flip it. The default setting for that button is MUTE, but you can change it to lock rotation if you prefer (go to Settings, Use Side Switch For). Some apps ignore it and use the volume settings, but some dont, so if youre not getting sound, thats the first thing you should check. Most people just assume its a bug in the app. Sorry, its not! Anyway, its an easy fix, now that you know about it! I hope everyone whos already complained gets to see this. No child should miss out on this book, its just too good. Dont pass this up! Dont pass ANY of Sandra Boyntons books up.

...again, it will take several readings before you and your little ones discover all the great interactive elements in this excellent, soothing, sleep-inducing story! ...cant wait for Benjamin Bunny!!

My daughter loves this book and I was excited to see it on the IPad. Good translation save for the narrator who sounds half asleep himself. Would have been great to have the option to record your own narration.

Dry and unoriginal, the narrator sounds drunk. Boynton books are typically sly and funny, this thing is a yawn and a waste of money. Buy the book, skip the app.

I have always loved the work of Sandra Boynton so I was thrilled to see this! I have two young daughters who love all the fun elements of this book but to tell you the truth, I probably love it more than they do!

Nice to see these books finally coming to iPad but have to agree about the narrator. The OM (Dr. Seuss) books are great in this regard.

Ive been waiting for this program forever. Now that I purchased it, it plays a few notes and then crashes. Any suggestions?

I read this book over and over to my children who are older now. The iPad and iPhone versions of this book are just wonderful. There are so many clever surprises in it. I love the narrator and the music. Almost makes me want to have another baby. (Almost.)

All five of my children love this book! It wouldnt work at first, but the timely reply from app support prompted me to restart the iPad. Now, it works like a charm. The music is soothing, the activities are fun and imaginative. I highly recommend!!! Thank you for a wonderful book!

this is an amazing treatment for books. I wish every book for kids was as well done. the technology is stunning, and just plain fun. I show this to everyone, even people without kids because its a stellar example of how to use the technology!

My 2 year old son is loving this book and all the interactions.... Especially popping all the bubbles!

Nicely done, just what I would expect from Boynton. I am loving book apps for my children. More of this quality, please!

My grandson loves it, but even better, Grandma loves that Billy J. Kramer narrates. To other grandparents: this "old guy" (as the intro describes) is someone you will remember from the sixties with affection, and probably love even more now. What a voice! Please use him for all books!

Where is the fun? Its Sandra Boynton... where is the silliness? The music should be in a changing room and the narrator could not be more dull if he tried. My one year old loves this book and I dont even want to show her this app. The book should take up the whole screen. Its amazing someone made Sandra Boynton boring. Boo Boo Boo!

After seeing some of the bad reviews that have been left here, I just thought I would share my experience. Some have complained that the application is not formatted for the iPad, they might have been confused by the two different versions in the app store, one is just for the iPhone and the other is iPad only, if figuring out the difference between the two is too tricky for some users, then that is more their problem then the developer’s. But getting on to my review, after reading many Sandy Boynton “Boynton on Board” books as a young child, I was glad to finally see that they now had a book for the iPad , with the large screen and rich color that the iPad offers its ideal for kids (and even adults) plus the amazing amount of interactivity in each page, that never ceases to amaze children, who seem to discover something new every time they read the book. In fact I have even gifted this app to one of my friends with children, and both the parent and the child seemed to love the book. While some may not like the voiceovers for the book, my suggestion is to simply turn it off and read it by yourself, in my opinion though I think the voiceover work was perfect for the story, however, everyone is entitled to their own point of view. My overall opinion is that it is a wonderful improvement on the already popular Boynton series of children’s books, and a perfect gift for children of all ages.

Very good App but the interactivity is not very functional and weak.

My 2 year old loves this new version of one of his first favorite books. You wont be disappointed.

If I could give this 6 stars I would! Gorgeous music and narration. Perfect blend of interactiveness without taking over the readability as a primary story. Well done!
