## Review summary

Users praise PicBook for its core ability to mix text with images to make picture books and to design covers, with an easy-to-use, kid-friendly workflow and media support. However, there are notable downsides: stability problems (crashes, slow loads) and a perceived lack of onboarding guidance. A subset of users also reports inconsistent book creation/access. Many users also express a desire for additional features (audio, animations) and improved publishing/sync options.

### Pros

- Can create books by combining text and pictures and even design covers.
- Simple and easy-to-use interface.
- Fun and educational for kids, good for teaching reading.
- Supports PDFs, scans, and images to build books.

### Cons

- Stability issues: crashes (including at page 78) and slow loading.
- Confusing onboarding and a lack of clear instructions on how to use the app.
- Some users report not being able to consistently create or access their books.
