We use Little Reader Touch on our iPad and I realized tonight there were updates to the various categories we have (we downloaded them way back with LRT first came out). But now to update, I have to pay $0.99 for each category to update? In the years we have had an i-device, I have never had to pay for update to already purchased materials (I can understand paying for the original in-app purchase, but not paying to update the material within the in-app purchase). I am disappointed if this is the case.

We are trying the 14-day trial software and yesterday my daughter was not engaging with the laptop and only wanted to "type". Finding this thread today was wonderful. I have the app up and running on the iPad, and she loves to watch LR and LM on there. I'm still waiting for a hopeful, eventual Mac version and/or an iPad app, but this is a great alternative option for now. 

I know I am late to the game, but I am excited that there is a possible Mac version. I am looking to use my mom's PC laptop so we can start asap with LR and LM with our daughter, but being a Mac family here (and not interested in running Parallels or Bootcamp), I would love to be able to use our computer. Also, an iPad app sounds right up our alley (don't ask, but our 11 month old can spot an iPad from across the room and makes a beeline for it!).

Thank you for the link ... it's been a while since I have looked for a PC, so it is helpful having the specs.

I found out about Brill Kids through a few different blogs. We homeschool our children (3 boys and 1 girl), though our daughter is not quite one yet. She has Down syndrome, and I am looking at the possibility of using Brill Kids with her. We are a Mac-only family though (and do not use Parallels), so I'm looking at somehow finding a PC laptop that can be used only for Brill Kids.
