User Reviews

Reviewers praise the read-and-play experience for Yertle the Turtle for its strong narration, engaging tempo, appealing visuals, and nostalgia, with accessibility noted as a plus. However, there are concerns about pricing—only Yertle is free while others are paid—and some features feel hidden or hard to discover. Overall, it’s seen as a nostalgic, well-produced hidden gem with room for improvements in pricing structure and discoverability.

Pros

Strong narrator/voice with engaging tempo for read-aloud moments
Engaging visuals and background sounds that enhance the experience
Nostalgic appeal for Dr. Seuss fans and sense of a hidden gem
Accessibility for users with vision impairment or special needs, bringing the books to life

Cons

Only Yertle is free while other Dr. Seuss titles are paid, which frustrates users
Play features can be hidden or not immediately discoverable, reducing usability
Perceived pricing inconsistency across Dr. Seuss apps (paid content beyond Yertle) can be off-putting

Recent reviews

Eventually, yertle the Tertle read and play app is the only free one. Can you make all the other read and play books be free to go to one, and to be fair?
