What users love
Kids start reading on their own and can't put the app down
Children get hooked on reading, pick up books daily after school, and reach for them without being told
I was excited to try this app, but my experience was disappointing. The app keeps pushing users to buy a subscription to access many features. I do not have money to pay for a subscription, so I could not enjoy the app properly. It feels unfair that so much content is locked behind a paywall. A free version should allow users to use more features before asking them to pay. Because of this, I was u
Love that the kids can read so much on a tablet
it's a opportunity for your kids!!
Turns reluctant readers into book lovers
Toddlers and struggling readers learn to read — even very young kids and preschoolers enjoy it
finally logged in and it was spectacular.

Read-to-me mode reads aloud with word highlighting
Kids can listen with word-by-word highlighting or read solo — great for beginning readers

Huge library with familiar series and characters
Thousands of books including popular series — Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Cat Ninja, Big Nate, Tom & Jerry
I tried to create a account but the app wants me to have a subscription. Im only going to use it for a specific series and I can't get on the app because of that. That's being greedy let people use the app without subscriptions. Aren't apps made for people to enjoy or just for some paper called money?
Never mind...💀💀💀💀
it keeps forcing me to subscribe!!!! i hate it, add an x next time
Educational videos alongside books — a safer YouTube
Science clips and learning videos provide a controlled alternative to unsupervised video browsing
ugh this app won't let me make an account
need to pay to read.......
I just wrote my class code and when I was reading a book then a family free appeared
Badges and reading buddies keep kids motivated
Rewards for books read and collectible pet companions encourage kids to keep reading

Text is not adapted for e readers in many many different books. So basically this app is useless for me

Pages turn like a real book
Animated page-flipping and vibrant layouts that feel like a physical book — works great on a tablet
It takes long to create your account and you are forced to pay. So I did not even get to try the app. And it takes different times to load. If you want to waste your money on this junk don't

The stories are fantastic

Saves the trip to the library
Acts as a home library when kids are sick or books aren't nearby
Great stories, but they changed the game prizes from characters to clothing accessories and it's just not the same.
it is good for young people to learn how to read because I never used to like reading until now
I love funny books 😂🤣 because of it they have lots of buddy's
What users hate
Without a subscription, books unlock only 3–4 pages
The free preview cuts off with a 'PREVIEW' banner after a few pages — there's no way to finish a book
bro I can only read like 2 pages
Hi epic team. Is there any special subscription offer for an institution? If yes am interested if no, look into it.
Epic games for kids and girls
Free access goes to schools; families have to pay
Parents are frustrated: classrooms get free access while reading the same books at home requires a paid subscription
AMAZING!
it is good for young people to learn how to read because I never used to like reading until now
this app is so cool I love learning on it and reading books and at my daughter's school ❤️
Reading progress and favorites get lost
Reading time and rewards go unrecorded, saved books disappear, and sometimes a child's entire profile vanishes
I always read a story that is intresting and awsome
I just wrote my class code and when I was reading a book then a family free appeared
I love it cuz i can read books about cats
School access only works during daytime hours
School-linked accounts are only accessible until 4 PM — the app is unavailable at home after school or on weekends
can't access apparently claims my device is rooted
I like reading make me happy and learning English
stop putting learning apps behind a pay wall
Missing books and favorite series
Parents request titles and series that aren't available (Dr. Seuss, Wings of Fire, personal favorites)
love it it's great for little kids like under 15. I like the name but it's just that it doesn't have other books like wings of fire at the graphic novel and you can see the pages
I like epic it's helping me read more and I'm learning about pets
need to pay to read.......
Offline reading not supported
The app breaks without a connection — parents want the ability to read on the go without Wi-Fi
I love it a lot but when it's offline it glitches alot
l hate it
After I pressed "start reading for free" it wouldn't let me exit the app after I finally got out of the app I had to delete it because my phone started lagging
Books disappear from the library without warning
Series and audiobooks are quietly removed after families subscribed specifically for them
it's not for free
I tried it but it charges maney just to use to and they only show good reviews and plus I'm still a kid and I don't have money to pay dayly😡 definetaly a one star game
