The Penelope Rose HD
Is It Any Good?
THE PENELOPE ROSE HD is a highly interactive app with a sweet story, competent voice acting, and "Read to Me" and "Read By Myself" features for kids of different skill levels. The interface is clunky, though, with loading time between pages and animation that isn't always smooth. We even encountered a few technical glitches during our evaluation including crashes. These technical niggles make this otherwise delightful e-book occasionally challenging to interact with.
