We have had the worst experience with this provider. While the books are fine, we could not cancel the subscription and after months of back and forth with Vooks, I have had to cancel my card in order... See more

Mellow but Engaging

My kids love it, and it's a great alternative to "TV"!

I really didn't think I was going to use Vooks as much as I do but my kids love it! Having Vooks is great because the content is fantastic but also trustworthy, I know they aren't going to put something on that's inappropriate. I feel like the books that have been selected are ones I would have picked myself. So much I go to the library and I'm disappointed with some of the messages in the children's books but that has never happened so far with Vooks. It is very obvious that the books have been carefully selected. I love that they bring in new books that are related to what is currently going on (seasons, holidays, etc.) and the learning pages are great asset for a homeschooling Mom such as myself.
My only complaint is that my 2 year old son had fallen in love with a few Vooks that he would watch every morning and then all of a sudden they were gone. I understand that it may not possible to have every book, all the time, but a little warning would be nice so I can switch him over to something else in preparation. Months later he still asks for them.

Simplicity and ease wins!

I like Vooks because of simplicity and ease of use!
Even a younger child can access it without adult monitoring.
The books are fun to read for young and old alike.

The app is lovely but books vanish

The app is lovely and it's great that we can save some books for offline viewing. My kids love it and ask for it. My only complaint is that some books are advertised and after a while are removed (no more Goodnight Goodnight Construction Site, no more Giraffes Can't Dance, for example).

Thank you for your heartfelt feedback, Luciana! We definitely understand how important those titles are to our audience, and we are working hard to get them back in the library. In the meantime, we release new stories weekly, so stay tuned! We hope to offer some new favorites for you and your littles!

Easier Way to Log On

I would like there to be an easier way for my students to log onto your site. Since the children have to type in my email address to access the site, they spend more time typing my address then actually reading.

Vooks is an amazing resource

Vooks is an amazing resource. The books are animated nicely, and the narrators are wonderful. I love how they bold the words as the story is read to encourage the children to follow the words as the story is being read. There is a wide range of topics so the children can always find a book that is interesting to them. The books are calming and so nice to listen to.

We struggle with the fact that there…

We struggle with the fact that there are frightful books available which kids ought not to watch. Perhaps, VOOKS should consider creating a folder/link where all the scary books are stored. Besides that it would be great if parents would be able to controle the visibility of those books.

Obviously, I am referring to Halloween books but there are also books like 'little blue sock'. A very cute story, however there is this a part where the little one has to walk through a dark passage. It scared my kids and had them sleepless for days. Also the stinky elephant has parts in it which can scare children. There is no need for kids to be afraid of the dark, thunderstorms n such.

Lockdown stories

During lockdown I started to use this in the classroom at the end of each day for the keyworker children. The children loved seeing the stories come to life. I have now continued to use for our end of day story. Many thanks for an excellent resources.

We LOVE Vooks

Vooks is an amazing resource to supplement curriculum content. The ease of the app is great. I love that the library is frequently updated. The only bummer is some of my students favorites disappear with new content is added. It would be amazing if the library just continued to grow.
