Bookbot is an English learning app with a difference: it actually listens to your child as they learn to read, highlighting the words and stopping when they make a mistake. Readers can either have another go at reading the word correctly or listen to the word being read by Bookbot before they continue.
Bookbot has been developed by a team passionate about creating the best learn to read app that is based on scientifically proven techniques. Using a phonics approach endorsed by numerous reading experts, Bookbot will develop your child’s reading confidence at their pace. Bookbot was inspired by children who need a dyslexia app, but it works for everyone.
Features:
‘Just right’ reading levels - Individually selected books based on your child’s current reading ability - your child can enjoy success whilst stretching them just enough.
Guided progress - The line your child is reading is highlighted as they speak, encouraging focus and fluency. It’s like having your finger following their reading.
Immediate feedback - Words are de-emphasised as your child reads them correctly - they get an instant sense of confidence and achievement.
No more guessing - Words that are Incorrectly read are identified and spoken by Bookbot before your child can continue reading.
Easy on the eye - specially chosen fonts, careful use of spacing and page colours all make the reading experience as easy as possible.
Reviews
Doesn’t work
tjformore
It’s a great concept and I’ve been waiting for this app to become available. But it doesn’t work. I have tried creating an account and was not able to with Facebook, email or google. I really wanted this app to work so my son could try it. I tried app support and it just redirects me to Facebook. Please fix this app!!
I pre-ordered

Do not download this app. I'm having the same exact issue as Tjformore but I pre-ordered it and paid for the lifetime subscription. I’ve sent several emails but have not been helped. It stays on the logging in screen for a very long time and then it says that I do not have access. I’ve reset my password and it still doesn’t work. At this point I just want a refund.
A Great Reading App

We’ve downloaded the Bookbot app recently and been happy how it helps our 8 year old daughter when she reads. We did sit with her at the start and noticed that it took a few goes for the app to understand what she was saying. Also the room has to be quiet while it is used. We’re pretty happy with it so far.
Best kids reading app!

I love this app and you should too because it contains a bunch of kids reading books that kids can read. The app is very simple for kids to understand with book bot and I love the concept.
Wonderful!

This app is absolutely wonderful! My children are dyslexic and this has really helped them become more interested in reading! I would highly recommend this app to any parent :)
Great Concept and Many Features

I haven’t been getting any of the issues that other reviews complain about, and I actually had the chance to use the app for our child. The app comes with many books for children in it, and it encourages you to read aloud to your child or for your child to attempt to read the words. The text on the app is perfect and it isn’t too small nor too big. One thing I would like improved is the loading times and more features. It could use more GUI elements and more organization. Great app, and I will use this app and hope it’ll get updated and releases new features!
Good concept

I like the concept of this app but would like to see a feature where the child tap the word or be said before they make a mistake. My son is dyslexic and he was frustrated when he knew that he didn’t know the word but had to say it wrong before the option to hear it would appear. Also, the voice doesn’t seem to pronounce some of the words correctly.
Great free reading app for kids!

I downloaded this app for my son and daughter. They are required to read at least 20 minutes every night and I've found instead of buying books constantly using online reading is a nice option. My daughter had really enjoyed the variety of books, and it will take her quite some time to work her way through them all. The app is super easy to use for the kids and so far we haven't had any issues what do ever. We will continue to use and I highly recommend it for other parents! Available great kid safe app in today's world!!
GOOD CONCEPT

We read with our son, but we find that he needs more practice. This works for him. The illustrations looks good. It would be better if it worked without the internet.
