What Users Love About the App
“This app was the system my son and I used to improve his English reading by 40% in 1 school quarter. This app is better than the others because it has reading levels that tailor to child’s reading level, it has an audio book option, key word definitions at the end of book, questions at the end of each book to check on comprehension, and a reward system that motivated my son to read.”
“My daughter began using app last year, her kindergarten teacher sent home flyer w/instructions, & Teacher already had all the classmates name, so made it easy. This app is excellent for new readers, app has level books, plenty of books. I have searched for books w/that have A Level B Level etc & could not find any to purchase, thanks to this amazing app we now have access to plenty of Level Books for my 1st grade daughter”
“This App is wonderful. Both of my children use it. My youngest has an auditory processing disorder. This means reading and comprehension are and will always be a challenge. This App has kept him on target with reading. We absolutely love it.”
“I cant believe how good this is…the best reading app for all schools! Most recommended for elementary school, but I think in middle school I’ll want to do this a lot still! Maybe get to the chapter books. Yeahhhhh. This is awesome!”
“Hi! Person reading this i NEED to tell you how amazing this app is so lets start with this Do you like reading and do you need a app that is educational?? THEN GO AHEAD AND GET THIS APP!!”
What Users Dislike About the App
“So guys I feel bad for writing this but some books don’t make sense and even the quiz room don’t make sense I like but a answer the does make sense but then it says wrong answer and that was right but yeah guys if you had that tell me and when I’m an a new grade it takes all my stars and I had a lot of stars and it deleted all it’s so unfair.”
“The game is boring and the only thing that is fun is the characters and that is it and you are just bored for how ever long you need to do it for and it is very bad because one time I put something on my characters that I did not like.”
“We’ve tried this on our computer, on our iPhone, and on our iPad and it crashes on all three. When you get to the login screen where you can put the teachers name in, once you click next m it brings you to a second page (where you are supposed to be able click the image that is your kid’s password) except it’s just a white screen and “crashes” by bringing you right back to the login page.”
“This is a fabulous resource and wonderful concept. The app has bugs and various problems. My biggest complaint about this app is the recording feature. My child records a voiceover of the book but then forgets to push the send button and just swipes to the next page/section without submitting the recoding (meaning the recording is erased and not submitted to the teacher). The app should not let the child move on without submitting the recording.”
“This app would of been good if it did not have the lag, it took me 10 minutes to open a book and several minutes to load the page, my internet is super good, I can play PUBG, CLR with no problem, and I am using a brand new iPad Air 3, I can’t believe it would lag!! I also dislike it when it does not let you read the book while you answer the questions.”
