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.

It’s not loading well

We frequently have to reload the app as it freezes often and unable to load books. Otherwise it is a great app with lots of selections.

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.

Thank you for your detailed feedback. You are right - Skybrary is a paid app and the proceeds from your subscription help with the work of Reading is Fundamental, which includes enabling children from underserved populations get access to books. Your contribution helps us do more in the community - thank you for this. If there is any other feedback you would like to share with us, please email us at skybrary@rif.org.

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.

So good

Love the snake my kid loves it

I used to have this app as a kid (reading rainbow) and it’s the best I recommend it to any parent that has trouble with their kids reading. It has informational videos and it’s just all around a great app for your child.

Thank you so much for the kind words! We are glad you are enjoying the app.

I can’t access my paid account asks for more $

Help, when I recently moved my kids back to iOS devices and added them to family share, this app doesn’t recognize my annual purchase, instead it asks for new payment after I’ve logged in.
