They won't let people under 17 make an account I thought it was for kids

### 1/5 — Dumb game

*2026-08-20, version 7.51*

I couldn’t even type in the freaking search bar whenever I tried to type in the search bar, it would just kick me off and then when I tried reading on it, it wouldn’t let me when I tried watching videos on it. It wouldn’t let me.

### 2/5 — Please fix page loading!!!

*2026-08-20, version 7.51*

It seems like many books don’t work, specific ones where multiple pages in the book are stuck on infinite loading states. So annoying!!

*2026-08-11, version 7.51*

The reading “buddies” are a little annoying because if your a boy and your 3 star costume prize is a tiara.. also needs more books featured towards teens. Overall pretty good though.

### 5/5 — Esto es increíble

*2026-08-10, version 7.51*

*2026-08-08, version 7.51*

I came home one day to see my children at the front door, begging me for epic so I gave them a year ever since I keep coming back home, they would be in their room reading a book or listening to a book. This is amazing of you. You should totally get it.

### 1/5 — Fix the bug

*2026-08-07, version 7.51*
