All time favorite

I have loved this book for 6 or 7 years now and I always will!

Reinvent reading? No, but ...

... this is still a wonderful app! If you can calm down from the crazy video and mega-hype that this has had you'll find something that's artfully delivering illustrations and a story that are as vibrant today as they were 100 years ago. Using physics to make the entire device interactive was a stroke of brilliance by the creators and has made this the FIRST of what will surely be many many books for the iPad that showcase not only a great text and drawings but also why the iPad is better for books than the (now incredibly) dowdy looking Kindle!

Room for improvements

I enjoyed this, the illustration style was decent could have been better but we don't have much choice yet regrading various digital version in this new form or media so yeah. What i found lacking was sound effects, why go part way there? motion of graphics is great but sounds would have been nice along with audio reading of the book with a few choices of vocal talents. Developers need to push all angles if they want consumers to fork over the cash for such media, sounds for page turning and let the user set preferences and toggle them off for battery conservation if the battery is running low etc.This is good work and i love it for what it is but there IS ROOM for improvements.

Text to speech doesn’t work

Nice app with public domain text with illustrations and small animations. It would be better if it worked with the Apple text to speech function to read the text on the screen. For some this is a convenience, but for many it may make this beloved book accessible. There are many options for the sight or print impaired to read about Alice, adding text to speech accessibility to your app would make yours an option and extend that fun multi sensory element that you’re going for to s broader audience.

Perfect for the Alice fan

I have never reviewed anything, however I feel this app deserved a review. I remember this app being demonstrated on Oprah and all I could think was "I need to buy an iPad just so I can have this!" I am not disappointed, however I do feel this was a little more pricey than need be. For those complaining that there aren't enough interactive parts, this is comparable to a children's pop-up book which is at least twice the price and has fewer "interactive" parts. This definitely has the classic Alice feel and I highly recommend purchasing it.

Beautiful but too abridged

This is a beautiful-looking application, and my daughter and I have really enjoyed reading it together. She likes the illustrations and the little bits of interaction. Really the only two complaints are: 1) It's not well-proofread or edited, so there are typos and awkward transitions; 2) it's simply too abridged. The free version will get you most of the book, so once you pay you get just a bit more, because they've edited the story so aggressively. That leads to the awkward transitions, and there's too much of the story missing. Even my 6-1/2 year-old daughter knew that there was much of the story edited out. Come on, guys, give us an update with more of the book put back in, okay? It can't be that hard. Give us most or all of the story and I'll immediately up my rating to 5 stars. This could be an example of where books can be taken in the future, but instead it feels a bit cheap.

I wish I could return for a refund

I impulsively bought this app after watching the demo video online and I'm sorry to say, the experience is deeply disappointing. Every single person I handed the iPad to tried to interact with the animations by touching them, it's an touch screen after all, and seemed surprised that they couldn't. One can't "flip" pages intuitively, instead having to rely on a clunky-looking arrow navigation. Same goes for the accelerometer-controlled animations, my kids want to touch, move things with their fingers, interact... not just watch them floating across the page. Very sad. Oh yeah... there's no sound either. The illustrations are GORGEOUS but the sporadic big typography inserts are overdone and inconsistent (with tacky drop shadows and emboss). Just not elegant at all. I eagerly paid for it but I expected a lot more, while my kids, even thou they love books, were bored.

Awesome update!

Good update! Now I can get right in and wobble all the characters around. The kids really, really love this! I agree it would be nice to have the option to read a non-abridged version. But, having said that, this is the perfect length for a kid's story (in fact it's quite long for a bedtime read, at 52 pages) -- not sure I could face reading my kids the 140 page full-edition of Alice in Wonderland just yet. Or if they would sit still through it! This is still the app I fire up first when I want to show off what the iPad can do. Very futuristic.

Almost there

There's a lot to like here. It uses the Tenniel illustrations. The interactive features are in the spirit of the book. It looks great. The full text is now available (the original was horribly abridged, with all of the poems deleted) and an editing error in 3.0 has been corrected.The main thing, maybe the only thing, now is to fix the "index", which, in the unabridged version, is simply a list of pages that, if you have great patience, you can scroll through. Even a table of contents would be a huge improvement over this. Five stars when this issue is resolved.

Beautiful yet (still) Condensed; update is much more stable

Gorgeously designed with a layout that compliments the original drawings, many of which have been animated. Much of the text, alas, has been excluded. The update did fix the crashiness and added some new animations in the already animated pages, but no new animated pages, and still no Lobster Quadrille or "You Grow Old, Father William." Even with these problems - and the steepish price tag - the app is so pretty and cleverly illustrated that I gave it 4 out of 5. Alice fans and those who have to amuse kids and fussy adults will be glad to have it on hand.
