User reviews

Developers listen

1st: graded readers app is awesome idea.
2nd: not enough books
3rd: your pricing model does not work for an app. Consider getting a larger catalog then charge like a 4$ subscription per month for access to all. You will earn more. Get more downloads. And be more successful.

Beware

Downloading stories can be frustrating

Useless

The app takes my money, but then does not deliver content.

Sound doesn’t work

Sound doesn’t work

Can’t purchase stories

I’ve been trying to purchase stories and it won’t let me. It will say purchases, say I’ve spent money, then never finish “purchasing” the story so I can’t read any of the stories I’ve bought :(
