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.

However, I have 2 concerns/issues with the Epic experience. One, the cost of Epic membership is pretty high, and you don’t really access much new content for that big of a price. Secondly, once you reach level 150, you can’t go any higher, meaning that the app becomes completely pointless after you reach that stage, which is part of the reason I don’t read that much anymore on Epic. Overall however, good app, would recommend to anyone who loves a good platform for kids’ reading and will be willing to pay that kind of price for the premium. ### 5/5 — Good stuff by the way *2026-08-03, version 7.51* I loved your Panda corner songs and so do my classmates in second grade😏🙂‍↕️ ### 5/5 — Book *2026-07-31, version 7.51* It was cool ### 5/5 — Good for kids to learn *2026-07-30, version 7.51* This app epic is the best app for my kid. My kids learn all about books learning in about the videos. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
