Daughter loves the content. However, the app is beyond useless. Downloaded contents will still use data unless you switch to offline mode from the start. If you are on spotty internet, it constantly stutter/showing blank pages even for downloaded contents. I don’t know why they don’t just play from drive to save their own internet […]

It’s a great app, however I have renewed my account back in September and it was giving my daughter a prompt saying to upgrade for more reading. I can’t understand why it’s asking me to upgrade to the yearly subscription when I have already did. On that note, I have submitted 3 helpdesk requests for […]

This is the app that helped my daughter to learn how to read, she loves it! She reads everyday from the largest variety of books it has. We discover the app when she was in 2nd grade and we’ll keep it for many years. It also has books in Spanish which is a plus!! Every […]

Epic app never works! On tablet or phone it forces you to download the app. Once downloaded it is sooooooo slow that it crashes every time. If you try through the browser you can’t go beyond the screen to download the app. If you try to log-in off school hours on your laptop, I get […]

Not bad. I got this so that when I’m away for work I can call home, read my daughter a story and share my screen on the video call for her to follow along with the illustrations. Definitely like that you can save favourites. There seems to be some sync issues with the web/browser and […]

I really like this app. BUT…. the only thing I dont like is that you cant use it after school hours unless you are paying for it. And when the child is reading and gets stuck on a word , you sometimes can click on the word and it will help the child by saying […]

Wish they would warn you that you must pay a fee to get this app before you input all your personal information. BEWARE do NOT input your info unless you want to pay a monthly fee. I would had not mind paying for the membership but I don’t like it when apps like this pull […]

This app is great! I like the variety of books available, though I hope the library continues to expand. The user interface is easy to navigate and I love being able to download for offline reading. Two things I’d like to see added are a repeat button so the littlest readers can easily replay the […]

We’ve used Epic for 5 or 6 years now with no problem. Now, I’m being charged but not given access to the full library. Looking at reviews, everyone is having the same problem. In addition to this, their customer service has been basically nonexistent. I will give them a week to reply to my email/report, […]

Love it!! I am a mother and all 4 of my kids use it. It’s awesome that some of 4he hooks are read to you and the words are highlighted. It helps so much with my little ones and it has other books that you can read on your own. My kids use it when […]

The best feature of this app by far is the appearance of the digital books, as compared with books on Amazon Freetime, which download slowly, and are hard to read until you double click the paragraphs, which is difficult to get right with a child, etc. Even the digital books on Libby are sometimes frustrating […]

I’d like to just legitimately try the app before giving you my payment information and having to cancel after 7 days if we don’t like it. My kids use the program at school and like it. The interface looks slick, but I can’t get past the endless cycle of sign up, “start your free trial”, […]

WARNING: Don’t pay for a subscription until they fix their technical issues. I’ve been having the same issue other users have been having; you get charged for the subscription but it doesn’t work. Luckily, I was able to get a refund both times that I tried. Uninstalling and reinstalling the app doesn’t help. It looks […]

I got the app because of good reviews and my child loves reading. I got the app and signed up,but it blocks my way with an add for unlimited and there is no way to exit out of it. At the bottom it has a sign in and each time I sign it it sends […]

I wish this app would work for us, I installed it for my kids 3 year old and 5 year old. Both are learning to read, and could not read on their own yet. The problem is, this app shows all sorts of books, and doesn’t label the books according to their appropriate age category. […]

I purchased this app based off online reviews and ads, but after just a day or two of using this app we quickly realized the books are not well known. We tried searching for titles or authors that are well known to kids and none would come up. And we tried using the suggestion category […]

Books are consistently blank. The read to me books will repeat words when moving to the next page. There doesn’t seem to be a standard for when eggs are earned. It’ll say to read 20 more minutes then say to read 20 more after we do. It’s nice to have a safe place for kids […]

I’ve been using Epic! with my now 4 year old for over a year. It’s awesome. There are a plethora of great books. They miss many of my absolute favorites, but the ones they have are very good and we’ve found new favorites. And tons of audiobooks! Those are fantastic to have. However, finding all […]
