| 2023-05-16 |  | | en | I like the photos and all but it gives me nothing I look up new york it gives me a creepy doll if they can add good pictures that would be better I look up apple it gives me a lizard if they can improve it it would be better and you have to pay for it so not really recommended it my opinion and everyone who I know that uses it agrees. not saying its horrible I'm just saying I did not like it, also there are some pictures that are inapropriate. |
| 2018-09-28 |  | | en | I'm an aspiring writer and at first, I loved this app. My only complaints were the fact that you can't upload your own art and that there's a limit to how long your chapters can be. I pushed past it though, because every app has its flaws, so it didn't bother me all that much. What did bother me is that they said that "it's a website for everyone" and yet, they refused to let me publish my writing because of my serious stories and writing style. I wanted to let my creativity shine, and yet, I was unable to. I eventually downloaded the last of my works and switched to a different site. I'm very disappointed in the way that they treated me, and a mod even went as far as calling my work "grotesque and unfit for the public" Honestly, if you're a teen or older, this app isn't for you. |
| 2018-07-25 |  | | en | Fantastic App! I enjoy being creative and it allows me to publish stories as well after i create them. |
| 2017-10-28 |  | | en | i like evrything about it excxept the fact that i dont get to name the price |
| 2017-10-11 |  | | en | My second grader loves writing picture books on Storybird. We have a yearly membership so that we can download free PDFs of all of his stories, and I have ordered several printed books to give to grandparents for the holidays. I am always impressed with how supportive and positive the community is. Having every public story and comment moderated by a real person makes me feel secure that my child is safe online, both from a privacy standpoint and also from bullying. |
| 2017-10-10 |  | | en | It is great. Five star. |
| 2017-08-09 |  | | en | Storybird is the best! I have so amny friends on it and we talk about it all the time. I love the fact you can right a picture book with another person. I don't really like the fact that with moderation takes months unless you pay $14 to become a book club member and that moderation doesn't fix up mistakes but stops you from doing particular things, but, over all, STORYBIRD IS AWESOME!!!!!! |
| 2017-05-09 |  | | en | I want to share my stories but i clicked on student and i try to get a new account it won't let me! |
| 2017-03-26 |  | | en | I have to go online to use it but now I can use the app! :D |
| 2017-03-16 |  | | en | It's amazing and I already have a few chapters, but for a regular account there are a few problems. These problems are: -There is a limit to how much a chapter has -Moderation takes at least four to five months. -and when you go back to edit a published chapter the moderation takes longer. |
