BEST GAME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m 12, and I was looking for a good game, and I found this. Best game ever!!!!!!! I combines literature and happiness, which is the best combo ever. It is really satisfying, and fun. I didn’t realize how good pride and prejudice actually is until I found this app. Lol, I am never deleting this game!

Nice English game

I very love it to reading and practicing

買い切り版が欲しい

Apple Arcadeのトライアルで遊びましたが非常におもしろいゲームでした。
ただこのゲームのためだけにArcadeを継続するのは厳しいので買い切り版が欲しいです。

Dictionary

Hi guys, really liked your app. It would be great if you added a feature that would allow using a built-in dictionary on your iPhone/pad. Thx

Great game and calming

Love to have games like this here, especially for those who want less noise and just enjoyment. Im not a constant reader but this help a lot

Good game!

I like this game a lot, but I have some book suggestions:
The Giver, Lois Lowry
The Outsiders, S.E. Hinton
Friedrich, Hans Peter Richter
All of these books were read by me in 8th Grade ELA, and all of them are good books.

Love it, with a small suggestion

I absolutely love this app. It challenges my brain daily, yet it's also incredibly relaxing. ONE TINY SUGGESTION: when you're looking at a book in the store and hit the back arrow, I wish it would keep your place in the store- I spend a bit of time scrolling to find where I left off in the store catalog. Thanks for a great experience!

Love it

I can’t remember the last time I reviewed an app, but this game is just so great that it deserves a five star review. It is fun, unique and beautifully designed. My brain loves the challenging, educational content vs rotting away with mindless clicks. I’ve now “partially” read many classic texts that I’ve long avoided and have even been hooked enough from the previews to download the full novels on my kindle for future reading.

If I had to choose one “critique”, it would be that I wish there were more modern books available, but other than that, the game is perfection.

아름다운 음악과 세계명작의 하모니

UX/UI부터 책 컬렉션, 데일리 챌린지까지 모두 너무 훌륭해요

Masterpiece!

Unique, Insightful, Provocative, Comprehension Exercises, Direct engagement with words, rearranging syntax.

A beautiful game, all the millions of readers worldwide, should immediately download and play this gem - they would cherish it!

Hmmm

I promise just read books. This is not a better experience just because it uses a technology. Reading books is more fun and you can find them on whatever app your local library uses. If you don’t follow my advice I’ll literally get you so

A great game

Although I wouldn't call it a game. It's more of a tool for developing attention and a great addition if you're learning English.

My favorite game

Dear Reader combines mostly classic literature with contemporary technology in a delightfully entertaining way. The different game types add to the fun of “reading” books that, as a busy adult, I would not have time to sit down and actually read. I enjoy the daily challenges and research quests, and appreciate the ability to change the difficulty. The variety of books is quite substantial and I feel as if I am not wasting as much time as when I play other games.

In love

This is my favourite game in the whole world. I don’t play any other games. It’s the reason I like my iPhone. I turned off all notifications and I hate all social media, and I adore this game. I’m so grateful for everyone who has taken part in creating and supporting this game. Thank you so so mich for creating it, it gives me so much happiness

I was having fun until…

I’ve been playing this game for a while now. I love it betas someone who has been labeled as dyslexic it’s a fun game. I do have just ONE issue. I’ve come across the daily challenges and there’s just one that’s super annoying. It’s where the words are switched places and you click one and it changes automatically. However for someone who (and to anyone who can do this) can basically “autocorrect” mentally and do not read it as an error it’s really frustrating. I actually skip the daily challenges because of this.

Awesome

Great game

Overall an excellent game, although a word definition system would make it incredible.

Love the game but…

Just wish it could be purchased without an Apple Arcade subscription. If it were, I would keep playing.

Offensive content

So, I have the daily challenge widget on my Home Screen, yeah? It includes a phrase from the daily chapter, which goes away once you play the challenge. It’s usually fine, but today is different. I open my phone today, and you know what I see in the Dear Reader widget? A phrase with the word “N*gro”. That isn’t okay! It’s racist! If that word is in the daily chapter, that’s fine. But I don’t want such language featured on my screen. Please fix this!
