Is It Any Good?
The personalization offered by JIBJAB JR. BOOKS is a great concept. And visually, it works incredibly well. Seeing your child's face on the main character can make for loads of laughs, especially since the animation works so smoothly. Some narration (or any kind of sound effects) would be a big boon to the app, as right now, the story is so quiet that it feels like something is missing. And the youngest users will need help with the reading. Many people will probably balk at the subscription price, but the one free book alone offers a really fun experience.
