New from Version 2.3
It's super duper important that you update your app to this newest version, because our engineers told us that it was and we totally believe them. Seriously though, they said that if you don't you may have some trouble accessing books and videos in the future and we really don't want your kids to miss out on all the cool stuff happening in the app. Plus, this update comes with something our team has been hard at work creating for your family and we promise the update will be worth it.
*drumroll*
Stickers!
• Create your own stories and build worlds of your own as you earn stickers. The more your child reads in the app and the more videos they watch, the more stickers they can earn. You get five to start (because we love you), so update the app and jump right in. Plus, these stickers won't end up all over your house and car and every single piece of clothing your family owns. Everyone wins.
2.3.1

In efforts to clean house we tried sorting books by color, but just like real life that only stuck for about a day...better luck next time. We did, however, manage to sneak in more bug fixes and general performance enhancements.

Plus,
• Our engineers have figured out how to create apple candy that doesn’t get your fingers all sticky. Press firmly on the app icon on your home screen for 3D touch shortcuts to Recents, Backpack and Search. Doesn’t that sound like the best apple candy ever? (iPhone 6S and above)
