Awesome!

This is a great way for your child to read lots of books without having to buy them or spend lots of hours going to the library! My son ❤️s this!!

Teacher

I’ve been doing biography research with my 2nd grade students. It’s always an issue to find enough books from the school library with text that is accessible to my students. Epic! has been a godsend and we research people who’ve changed America. Thank you Epic!

Pay for books!!

Come on!!

Stupid

Not worth it you have to pay $49.99 a monthly Im going to delete the app because its gust not worth it

My kids review

They almost got over all the "worth" selection in the trial month. No Mo Willems, 1 book Mercer Mayer, very small collection of Berenstain Bears and There was a Lady who swallowed....? I also have a comment in the Spanish section, the reader has a VERY strong accent. I am from Central America and was disappointed.

Awesome app!

Best app for kids to read and learn. I love the variety of books available and kids love this app.

GREAT for Homeschoolers!

I’m a former teacher and current homeschooling mom, and I LOVE this app! If you are homeschooling, EPIC has a special discounted rate for homeschoolers (email their support team for more info). I am especially impressed by the amount of quality nonfiction books in this app! It’s great for studying various topics throughout our homeschool day. If you have an elementary-aged reader at home, you will want to subscribe to this app. It’s like Netflix with instant access, but for children’s books!

Loving it

This app is great

Poor selection

I am unhappy with the selection of books available. My daughter is 4... I downloaded this app thinking she could chose books that would be read to her (as an alternative to playing games on the phone). There are very few books available in this format. The majority of books available would require me reading them to her. Not that Im against reading to my kid - Im a preschool teacher - we read together all the time... I just thought this would be a good option for her to chose some new books on her own, and listen to new stories, in a new format. Not the case. There are only a handful of audio options. In addition, The books I have attempted to read to her are difficult to read due to the incredibly small font - so the entire experience is a pain. The biggest gripe I have is that i have tried several times to turn off the "auto renewal" subscription in the apple settings... And conveniently, it simple does not allow me to slide the toggle over to the off position. Im guessing this is more of an Apple Store issue or even something to do with my phone - nevertheless, Im continuing to be charged for a service I dont want and basically find useless. I gave the app two stars because the idea is great and a wonderful alternative to the game playing my daughter likes to do - also, she did enjoy the two or three books that she found on audio. This is just not worth the monthly subscription price.

Ar

Would love to be able to sort by AR level.

Thanks great effort guys & pls Enable/Disable settings button of Video!

Dear Epic Team, Keep my best wishes for you all. I am amazed about your team effort just a biggest reward for the kids and us also. Please Enable/Disable settings button of Video. Thanks again to all from Me.

Video? Great. Now my kid will never read again.

Adding video just knocked Epic from a 5-star app to a 2-star app. One advantage Epic had over a competing famous library app is that it had no videos to tempt my son away from reading. When we used that other app, all he did was watch the videos. But he loved reading in Epic. Now I worry all hes going to do is watch videos in Epic. If so, Im going to cancel my subscription. Please reconsider. Or give parents the option to disable videos on a per-child basis. That would keep me as a customer.

My son loves it

I give my phone to my son in the car and hes immediately engaged in a book. I love seeing him enjoying reading instead of playing mindless games. His favorites are the Thomas the Train read aloud books. Definitely worth checking this out!

Fantastic App

I love reading with my 10 month old daughter. The catalog is wonderful. Five stars!!!!
