As a former teacher, I love seeing this app respond to kids’ mistakes and help them improve. It’s personalized, encouraging, and clearly based in learning science. I’ve seen it help many kids become better and more confident readers. I’m excited to see kids use it for math and ELL, too. It’s always great to see an app that really works with how kids learn.

Wow

Blown away by how much my kid loves reading with Ello more than any other app or phonics workbook we’ve tried. Gives me such joy to see him sounding out words with Ello that he’d be too shy or frustrated to practice in front of me! Also the new math activities and interactive lessons are a nice addition from the previous app.

Fun and educational

My nephew was engaged the whole time, had a lot of fun, and was able to be challenged with some of the math problems

Best AI learning app

This is completely different from everything else out there! It’s like an infinitely patient 1-1 teacher.

Motivates my early reader to actually want to read!!!

My kindergartener has been resisting reading Bob books and doesn’t have the attention span for me to help her decode words when we read together. It makes me nervous that she’s falling behind her classmates because she hasn’t even expressed an interest in reading, she just wants to be read to by me. Ello is the only reading thing she proactively asks for. She can keep going and use the app without my encouragement, and I can already see her advancing with decoding words. I actually have to tell her when it’s time to stop. Super excited that Ello is helping me support her in becoming a reader!

Delightful!

This app was a great way to supplement what my kindergartener is learning in school and do some phonics practice in a very engaging and delightful way. He has been asking to use Ello every day now and loves creating his own stories on the app! He also loves asking Ello questions about tigers. :)

Game Changer

My daughter has been struggling to read . We have tried everything and to only end up in tears.. this program she loves and she is excited to use! Only after a month of using the free version we have noticed her trying to sound out words on her own and her speed to put words together has improved

Love it as a Math and Reading supplement!

Our household currently has 2 children using Ello 2.0, (math and reading). We previously used Ello without the adaptive AI features and think this new program is a great supplement to our children's core curriculum. We appreciate that it does not correct every single reading error, which is helping to gain our children’s confidence in reading. The program asks questions after a reading lesson, which demonstrates our children’s understanding of what they are reading. Since using this program we have seen a shift in learning to read towards reading to learn. We highly recommend this program!

Thank you so much for the glowing review! We're thrilled you're loving Ello and appreciate your support!

My 5 year-old loves this

My son is shy about attempting to read out loud with me, but he loves reading out loud with Ello! He also loves creating stories and asking Ello questions. Such a beautifully designed app.

Don’t waste your time or money

Do not update to Ello 2.0. It’s a push for money. Parents have to have two phone numbers if they want to set up for 2 kids, cannot be under the same dashboard, have to pay for unlimited twice - once per kid if you want it, and free says “limited parent reports” but you cannot even see your child’s grade level or any progress unless you upgrade to unlimited. They used to have a program for low income families, that’s gone “but the original Ello will keep that program” which means they’re charging for 2 separate apps and programs. They say they will release an update to allow for multiple children under one account (which original Ello already had) like that was an after thought after first thinking to charge $400 if you want two kids to have unlimited for a year was acceptable. It’s a disgrace, truly. Don’t waste your time or money.

We're truly sorry for the frustration, especially as a family who's been with us since the original Read with Ello. We genuinely value your continued support! Ello 2.0 is free to use, with daily reading and math activities, while Unlimited is entirely optional. We understand how important affordability and supporting multiple children are for families, and we're actively working to improve that experience. Your feedback matters to us, and we'd love the opportunity to connect personally and see how we can make things better for your family. Please reach out to support@ello.com so we can help!

One of the best learning apps!

I’ve downloaded a bunch of apps like Learning.com, ABCMouse, Khan, etc and this one is getting everything right. It’s actually engaging with my son and listening to what he says and correcting and encouraging him. He loves the book creation element where Ello asks and prompts him about stuff to write about and it generates a book with even an amazing ai cover art. It lets you download it and share but my wife wants to even be able to order it in actual hard cover format. Can’t wait to see improvements and new functionality and watch my son keep learning!

Thank you for such a thoughtful review! We love hearing how much your son enjoys learning and creating his own books with Ello! 📚 Turning those stories into hardcover keepsakes is a wonderful idea, and we'll share it with our team. We're excited to keep growing alongside your family!

Need more than student profile!

I think this is a useful supplement but not a core curriculum. I love the original Ello, especially to be able to have at least three kids profiles .. this is only for one 😓

It says you can do it at age 4 and preschool age but my almost 5 year old it says doesn’t have a level for him.

Only for one child

I loooved the first version and sung its praises to so many. I have multiple children and it isn’t realistic to pay that much for all of my kids to use this app (2 activities a day isn’t fulfilling the math and reading needs we are trying to check off for daily practice) nor do I have enough phone numbers to sign them up. Went from very excited to very disappointed. App itself was amazing, kids loved it.

Impossible to bypass the set up

Tried to create an account for my 4 year old and answered everything correctly ( he can read, do math etc) keeps saying they are not ready to welcome him. No content available. Wasting time and collecting data.

We're so sorry to hear you had trouble signing up. That's certainly not how the process is intended to work. We'd love to help you get set up. If you email us at support@ello.com we can help you get started!

Very good app my kids love it and they have been using it all day

It works just like having a private tutor at home; my child now reads for longer periods without getting bored, thanks to the virtual personal assistant, and interacts with it freely.
