### 4/5 — Works fine

*2026-03-13*

Worked fine for what it is when I tried it. 🤷

### 1/5 — The quality of the app is horrible

*2024-09-22*

The app rarely gets the orientation right and the AR video jitters like crazy when playing, which is really bad to kids’ eyes, so I deleted the app after a few tries.

### 5/5 — SO AMAZING!!

*2023-06-12, version 1.5.1*

I read every book and it’s so awesome! Lots of twists and turns, and they never make you bored. It’s thrilling, and really keeps you on the edge of your seat. It’s my favourite book series ever. I love it more than Harry Potter, and that is seriously saying something. The AR Reads app really helps it bring it to life. So I strongly suggest you stop reading and download right now.

### 1/5 — Why?

*2023-06-05*

When it dose not work that get me aggravated I was so excited to do the secret code and then it didn’t work very disappointed

### 1/5 — Did not work

*2023-02-19*

Does not work at all, tried with an iPhone and ipad

### 5/5 — Zoe.w 10

*2022-10-14, version 1.5.1*

I can’t stop reading. There’s so many really good adjectives

### 4/5 — More dragon adventures!

*2022-06-16*

Great freebie app to bring the dragon books to life a bit more, my toddler loves it and likes repetition so this is gab for him. Works fine on my iPhone.

### 3/5 — Cool But Doesn’t Always Work

*2022-03-25*

I love this app when it works, but it takes me a long time to actually get it to scan the page.

### 1/5 — No audio

*2021-12-26*

Audio doesn’t work - disappointing.

### 1/5 — App is glitchy. Audio has never worked.

*2021-09-20*

App is glitchy. Audio has never worked in any of the books and some of the graphics are unresponsive
