The parents' guide to what's in this app.
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that Storyrobe is a neat storytelling app with some glitches and privacy concerns. To create a story, you choose several photos or videos. These can be taken with your camera, selected from your camera roll or photo album, or you can even use the video from another Storyrobe story. Next, you record up to three minutes of narration as you move through the pictures and videos. When you're done, the app creates a video. The end product looks a bit like a photo slideshow with your narration as the audio. You can share your story with other Storyrobe users via email or upload it to YouTube. There are instructions along the way, but working with video can make the app glitchy and sometimes crash.

Is it any good?
Fewer crashes and glitches working with video would earn more stars for this neat app. Narrating photos has a lot of applications, from sharing a photo album or scrapbook to creative storytelling. In practice, though, the app struggles with incorporating video clips. Also, the ability to upload stories to YouTube raises privacy concerns about what kids might overshare -- read YouTube and Your Kids for tips.
