It's a good start – Epic - Kids' Books & Reading Review

Maybe I'm old school, this seems like it could be a really fun and easily accessible app. The concept is spot on, and I agree the ease of use of the app vs. checking out an e-book through my local library's portal is a plus. There is a decent variety of quality literature for our little ones, and it's fun to explore the endless adventures for them to read. However, the reward system (badges/achievements) turned me off. The reward is in kids' self-motivation of wanting to read in and off itself, why do you need a sparkly visual to detract from and shift the focus of the reward being some fake carrot in the form of "badges"? Sigh.... we should stop discounting that children have a natural voracious drive to learn, no need for external motivation. I would love an option to turn the badges feature "ON/OFF." This opt-out feature would be respectable. Cheers, I applaud your great efforts!
