Stone Soup Magazine App Reviews

A good idea, but the magazines dont open, and that pretty much ruins the point of the app.

Ive known Stone Soup for years. We are subscribers to the print edition. My daughter loves it. It seems we always have our iPad with us when we go out so I bought this for her as I know shell read it when we are out and about. Also, the music and animated illustrations make an appealing magazine even more appealing. The app is still Stone Soup, clean and elegantly designed, but now even more engaging.

Stone Soup magazine is a favorite in our home and the introduction of the app helps brings its content to life. Our daughter loves the animation used in the illustrations, the ratings systems for stories and poems, and extras like Google maps and slideshows. As a parent I love how there is glossary links for harder to understand words or for unfamiliar sayings. Overall a fabulous app for children who love reading, writing and drawing (all the content is submitted by children). Its educational and fun, a win-win. Thank you Stone Soup.

Seeing Stone Soup as an App is absolutely great. Stone Soup has been a staple in our home over many years... Its a beautiful and unique "magazine," ostensibly for kids (by kids), but its much more that that: its an "institution" that brings creative young people from all over the world together... its an inspiring (and entertaining) publication on the highest level. The app is beautifully constructed and presented with tasteful animation and vivid reproductions, along with other ancillary add-ons, like animation and audio. Highly recommended. Thank you, Childrens Art Foundation for years of enriching so many lives and for moving forward into this latest phase--the app.

I was wondering what stone soup was gonna cook up next, and boy am I stoked its an app for my iphone! While many May prefer to stay in the Stone Age with print editions, I found this to be a lot more convenient! Thanks Stone Soup.

We raised our children with Stone Soup magazine. This journal has always encouraged and published quality words and visual art from children who so clearly benefited for the experience of being published....as much as we benefitted from they fine work. Now Stone Soup goes electric with a fine pixel version of their journal that lives up to the quality of their paper journal. Now when I am on a long line at the bank I can stay content while catching up with Stone Soup authors and artists.

I DO NOT like stone soup. You have to pay for it. Thats it because I hate it

App loads fine, issues download, but attempting to open the individual magazine issue fails and returns you to your issue collection screen. Makes having the digital subscription worthless

Poorly developed app... 1. It took months to be IOS 8 compatible. 2. It does not update itself (I cant get the latest issue of the Magazine) 3. There is no way to get technical / customer support

I love this mag for my third graders and they truly enjoy the stories. One of my stations is called stone soup and my students cant wait to read the monthly stories, poems and everything from kids their own age.

I love this app soooooooo much! But I would love it if kids could post comments and say things like"read this!"or just have a big chat room!!!! Please please please do this! Thanks Awa
