A Little More than I expected!

I was quite unsure of whether to buy this app. After all, I have many episodes from the Story Home podcast, but, nevertheless, I simply couldnt help giving the app a try. I was sure that if I loved the podcast as much as I did, I would be delighted with the app. When I listened to the first free story that came with the app, I found that old, familiar happiness I always feel when listening to the wonderful, warm, soothing voice I heard on the Story Home podcast. What I didnt expect, and what surprised and delighted me so much more than the excellent narration, was the music and sound effects in the background. Wow! What a wonderful idea! It makes the 0.99 price tag for each story totally worth while! However, I have one tiny little feature request, which is why I gave this app only 4 stars. Being a low vission iPhone user, I take advantage of the iPhones built-in accessibility feature that reads the screen aloud to the user. I must say that this app works wonderfully with this accessibility feature, called VoiceOver, by the way. However, the buttons are labeled in such a way that its hard for me to understand what they do. When I touch one, for example, VoiceOver will read aloud, "Btn2." What does that mean? What does it do? The only way I could find out was to go ahead and tap it. While this little problem presents no major consequence, it would be nice if the buttons were better labeled so that they will be more properly identified by VoiceOver. That way, Ill understand what Im tapping before I actually make my selection. Other than this minor issue, though, the Story Home is clearly a must-have app for parents, children, and classic literature enthusiasts like myself, especially if you love music, sound effects, and awesome narration!
