What Users Love About the App

“I like read&write because it helps improve your writing skills. This software is designed to help all even those with difficulties reading and writing. It will help those with learning disabilities as well. This soft wear reads to you and the big thing is that it has spell check as well.”

“I love read and write in a school setting. It allows all my students to be able to use their computer for accessing websites and other programs with a read-aloud function. This read aloud for websites allows students at a lower reading level to gain access to websites and programs they may not have had access to in the past.”

“Students have so many tools at their fingertips with Read&Write. They can make vocabulary lists which are automatically exported into a document with definitions, pictures and room for notes. It is a wonderfully adaptive program for students of all needs.”

“I like that it runs in the background to constantly help out those who are needing help. I also like that it has a bar at the top of the screen to fully show you the available options.”

“Many of our projects are aimed at low-income children’s education, so we decided to try this application, which, according to our point of view, is great. The program reads the content chosen by us, has a dictionary of words and images, serves to perform reading practices aloud and can underline words, among other things.”

What Users Dislike About the App

“I dislike that read & Write it only gives you 30 days free. Read & Write is mainly only great for certain students and staff. I dislike the fact that this is very expensive software.”

“This software requires help from the support team. It is very rarely that you can self help with this program.”

“It was very difficult to download and understand exactly what the idea of the program was. I also don’t like that there wasn’t an overall tutorial at the beginning of the program.”

“I love the computer version – hoping app version would be similar but it’s missing lots of features. Was really hoping for the reader outside of Safari.”

“I started with read and write for iPad. I don’t think this app works with my iPad. It seems to do nothing at all.”
