Reviews
Great reading app aside from audio book
perfect4bambinos
My children 7, 5, & 2 love story time each night. There are so many great options to choose from. Bedtime stories for me to read, early reader stories for the little ones - all with very colorful illustrations. I love the option for the kids to turn the pages themselves. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars is because some books are only offered as audio books with no illustrations. The kids really like to see the pictures and words. They lose interest without seeing and interacting with the pages. Some books that are only offered as audio books are some of the more popular books that the kids love. I only wish we had the option to choose how we read the books. Great app - great for kids - great for parents - great for bonding time - great option for parents wanting access to new different stories
I love epic

This app is awesome, but if you re going to get it be prepared to become an Epic Unlimited customer. It baits you in by letting you read the first one in a series then BLAM! It makes you submit to Epic Unlimited so you can read the rest in the series! I don’t think that it’s fair, but it is still a good app. IF YOU DON’T WANT TO DOWNLOAD IT THEN GO TTO GETTING IT THEN GO TO SEARCH AND TYPE GETEPIC.COM AND ITS BASICALLY THE SAME.
