User Reviews

Users find the African Storybook Maker app simple, free, and useful for creating photo stories, especially for young writers and education. However, they face significant issues such as inability to export or share created stories externally, limited text space per page, bugs causing text or pages to disappear, and occasional failures in publishing or saving work. The app's core concept is appreciated, but users desire more flexibility and reliability to make it fully functional and enjoyable.

Pros

Simple and easy to use interface with instructions visible on the page.
Allows importing photos from Google Photos and cropping images within the app.
Free to use with no ads or in-app purchases.
Pages can be edited and rearranged easily, with a book-like page-turning feature.
Helpful for young writers and educational use with students.

Cons

Stories cannot be saved or shared outside the app; lacking download or export functionality.
Text input per page is limited to about 240 characters, which restricts writing longer texts.
App sometimes fails to publish or upload stories properly, causing user frustration.
Text entered sometimes disappears or is not visible after saving, possibly a bug.
App can delete pages or lose progress when reopening, risking loss of work.

Recent reviews

The pictures and fonts should be diverse to capture diversity in literature. It's kind of stuck in a certain era, actually you can only make a story just around the picture and not coming up with a story that you'll select pictures from the app for. On the good side it allows for importation but the apps animations are just better
