2.3.2

December 13, 2017

- For this release, the team focused on improvements to the reading experience and squashed as many bugs as they could. - Also, iPhone X compatibility (for those who like to walk on the wild side). New from Version 2.3 It's super duper important that you update your app to this newest version, because our engineers told us that it was and we totally believe them. Seriously though, they said that if you don't you may have some trouble accessing books and videos in the future and we really don't want your kids to miss out on all the cool stuff happening in the app. Plus, this update comes with something our team has been hard at work creating for your family and we promise the update will be worth it. *drumroll* Stickers! • Create your own stories and build worlds of your own as you earn stickers. The more your child reads in the app and the more videos they watch, the more stickers they can earn. You get five to start (because we love you), so update the app and jump right in. Plus, these stickers won't end up all over your house and car and every single piece of clothing your family owns. Everyone wins.

In efforts to clean house we tried sorting books by color, but just like real life that only stuck for about a day...better luck next time.

Description of Skybrary

"My family loves it! They always use the app when we go on car rides or when they're bored at home. It's good to keep their imaginations going with reading. I totally recommend." - Parent @Gonzachr006 “I love the skybrary app. Can't recommend it enough. My son is riveted by the stories and begs to hear more, the narrators are exemplary, and I love the diversity of stories.

  • Phenomenal app

    I did not know that there was something that was carrying on LeVar Burton’s legacy after reading Rainbow was canceled I would’ve had this app years ago it’s phenomenal!

    Developer Response

    Thank you for your kind words :). It's great to hear that you are loving the experience. We welcome hearing from our customers, so if there is anything in particular you would love to see (and is not there yet), please email us at skybrary@rif.org.
  • App nice but has a subscription requirement

    Just as ABC Mouse does as well many games for kids they my call it premium membership or vip membership as well other names who knows maybe additional charges can be in game after sign up I have come across such apps. Reading rainbow belongs on tv unless it has streaming content from show as well books for no extra charge. Is only way such apps worth your time that what tutoring centers at libraries if it has one use it to avoid any unnecessary money spending.

  • The app equivalent of Hotel California.

    This app is great and my younger son loved it for a while. Then my kids stopped using it as much and I attempted to cancel the subscription. GOOD LUCK! You can start a trial any time you like, but you will never leave. When I attempt to cancel under my AppleID at the apple store, there is no “cancel subscription” button. When I attempt to cancel on the app itself, it takes me to the Apple store where, again, there is no “cancel subscription” button. If I go to the website, it tells me I don’t even have an account and to “start a free trial!” HA! It will never be free. I thought I had received help with this a while ago, but just today noticed I’ve been being charged for MONTHS. MANY, MANY months. I’ve contacted support from both Apple and Skybrary, I’ll just have to see how long it takes. Too bad, it’s an otherwise engaging reading app for kids, but this is very frustrating.

    We are so sorry to hear your frustration. We are definitely working on ensuring our communication is better when it comes to cancellation. As with all apps, cancellation happens on your own App Store dashboard (not within our app itself). If there is any other feedback you would like to share with us or if you need any further help, please email us at skybrary@rif.org.
