I try using all the time. However, the app is so awful we often give up. It skips back to a previously read section, if your phone goes into lock mode that’s it…it won’t play again for awhile, and you cannot manipulate the controls to decide where you want to begin the reading. It’s extremely frustrating. ### 4/5 — Learning ally *2025-10-12, version 4.13.0* I’ve been using this app since I was in 6 grade I’m in second year college. This app single handily got me to read again! But this app is rough it will randomly start and stop and skip and go back a lot. But still I think it’s very useful and simple to use would recommend if you looking to read a lot of classics. ### 4/5 — I love the app there should be two more series added Stargate universe hyperspace. Hi Zach Harrison *2025-05-29, version 4.9.3* The series Stargate universe should be added. Also, this series is hyper space high should be added as well. there are six books in the series ### 4/5 — Good for most *2025-05-24, version 4.9.3* It is good but doesn’t have a lot of books for 5th grade and above. ### 4/5 — It’s great, but you need to add more books. *2025-04-30, version 4.9.3* Can you please add the Loop by Ben Oliver, because it should be on the app. ### 4/5 — It’s good *2025-04-02, version 4.9.3* I like learning ally but it keeps repeating the same page which is kinda annoying ### 4/5 — Only A Few Issues *2025-03-25, version 4.8.0* In my opinion, Learning Ally is really great. The app is easy to use. I think the notes thing is really useful, especially for those who like to summarize a book. Although I think that there should be an option where you can select to listen from a specified place to another, in contrast to manually pausing. The only real problem I've encountered is that in order to even read you need a subscription, but if you're a student in the U.S. then you probably already have said subscription and only need to log in using your school email. Another thing is that the books don't save progress between devices, like of I listen from page 25 to 84 in "Percy Jackson" on my computer whilst working, then when I go to my phone whilst traveling, I'm still going to be on page 25. The final problem I've noticed is that sometime when you're listening to an audio book on your phone while doing something else, after a "long" time, it glitches out and stop completely. When this happens I have to go manually to my phone, the press the last piece of text I heard in order for it to keep reading the book to me. Other than these problems, I really haven't seen anymore. So if you like reading or are a student who likes to read, then definitely download this app. ### 3/5 — Love this app, but it has some bugs *2025-03-25, version 4.8.0* I love the app, but every time I get to the end of a chapter it just starts over that same chapter and keeps repeating. It is very irritating and it didn’t used to do this, but there are so many books on here and very rarely do I find one that it doesn’t have. ### 2/5 — The is a glitch *2025-03-24, version 4.8.0* The book that I am reading is missing like 1 to 10 lines at a time. ### 4/5 — More books please *2025-02-05, version 4.8.0* I would like to see more books or baby sitters club and baby sitters little sister. ### 2/5 — Books take too long to load *2024-11-30, version 4.8.0* It is a good app, but whenever I try and download a book it takes 1+days . It is very annoying. ### 3/5 — App has gotten more difficult *2024-11-21, version 4.7.10* The app, as wonderful as the concept is, is having lots of issues lately with glitches. The highlighted portion doesn’t keep up with the reading, it starts at a different location that where I was when I logged off last, I get logged off randomly, etc. The app was much better in the past. ### 2/5 — Fix the bugs *2024-11-12, version 4.7.10* The app was never very user friendly, but with the new update it is unusable. Every time I click out of the app or turn off my phone the audio shuts off. ### 4/5 — A bug *2024-10-31, version 4.7.10* I’ve been using reading ally for six years now but for some reason it just started every time I leave the app it stops playing back to me. I reset all the settings to default but it still doesn’t work. Please fix this. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — UGAHAGAGAG👹 *2026-03-01, version 4.13.0* This goofy ahh app won’t let me log in!!!!!👹👹😭🥀 help me I forgot my book.☠️ ### 1/5 — Can you even do this *2026-02-25, version 4.13.0* So this app is great in all but literally I’m listening to it and reading the same book at the same time. And all of a sudden the reader just decides to go off script and put in or take out as many words as they want. Like are you even allowed to do that? So I’m reading Mao’s last dancer and in the book it says “As we were about to land in Chicago.” (which is the start of chapter 18 filthy capitalist America) and in the audiobook, it literally says “ our plane began to descend through thick cloud we were about to land in Chicago.” like bro get your story, right. ### 1/5 — BMW Series 3 *2025-08-31, version 4.10.1* This app is the worst app that you could be using which school can see which books are you reading? ### 1/5 — So bad *2025-07-25, version 4.10.1* If I’m being honest, every time I had to flip a page it freezes and I always have to reset my phone so it gets back to the point but by the time I finish resetting my phone, it makes me reset like 30 pages back. Worst learning all audiobooks ever would not recommend. ### 1/5 — It is really good but why does it stop *2024-09-23, version 4.7.8* It is really good but why does it stop like it would be 5 stars if it did not stop please take a look Thxs ### 1/5 — Lag *2024-06-14, version 4.7.6* I can’t even get it to play. Worsted reeder ever. And if I could I would give it a 0 star review ### 1/5 — Can’t login via school district *2024-05-16, version 4.7.6* I attempt to login in via the school district, proceed to the next page, click on login with PISD Portal, then it redirects me to an error page that tells me I’m not able to read books here. Makes the app useless for me. Works fine on the website though… please fix. ### 1/5 — Learning Ally *2024-05-04, version 4.7.6* Does not work to sign in terrible app ### 1/5 — These audiobooks keep stopping when I haven’t touched my phone *2024-03-09, version 4.7.3* 🙁🙁 ### 1/5 — WORST MF APPP EVER *2024-01-23, version 4.7.3* Ugh don’t get it ducks ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Book *2026-02-23, version 4.13.0* I like this app. But sometimes its glitchs like it wont remember my bookmark and start reading at the top of a chapter. ### 5/5 — Best app ever. *2026-01-31, version 4.13.0* This app got me into the My Weird School fandom. Those books are amazing. I also like reading Wings of Fire! And I also like reading The Inheritance Cycle. I’d never thought I’d admit this but this app is actually just as good as Epic! Thanks for making this app! (I just hope nobody bashes my opinion for this review.) I wish you all the power of Wings of Fire! (It’s 2026 so I had to change some mistakes I had no idea that my username was numberblocksarethebest until now haha) ### 5/5 — It is amazing but…. *2025-11-15, version 4.13.0* So it works really well, but every once well I can sigh in. ### 5/5 — It stops when you get to a chapter *2025-10-08, version 4.13.0* This has been helping me with my dyslexia when I got diagnosed with it ### 5/5 — Book *2025-09-27, version 4.13.0* This app is great when i get fr8m school i go straight on it. I love it but some if the books i like dont have it on here i like the books warrior cats and wing of fire, mostly just animal books! My whole family loves reading! Me and my sis have this app because we need it lol. This is so great!! ### 5/5 — Excellent way for a poor reader to have independent access to books that are age level or higher! *2025-08-28, version 4.10.1* The reader follows along with the highlighted text and can tap in unknown vocabulary words to see the definition. One improvement would be to have that word and definition read allowed as well. The book choices are amazing and most of the voices are done as well as actors would read. We have loved LA for six years! ### 5/5 — Best for dyslexics *2025-05-04, version 4.9.3* Learning ally allowed me to see the words and read them myself and be able to hear the pronunciation of the words to correct myself. ### 5/5 — Slay *2025-02-26, version 4.8.0* I love learning Ally because it is amazing. and it helps me read better. it is really creative it highlights your senses. it’s amazing for people that have ADHD dyslexia and dysgraphia ### 5/5 — I love this app!! *2025-02-10, version 4.8.0* I love this app so much my school pays for it. I have dyslexia and without this app I would have have never been able to learn to read. I thank that you should put more books of the babysitters club because I could only find like two of them. And also can you please please put the new diary of wimpy kid hot mess on here. Another thing that I would say is that sometimes when you login to the app the Highland part is highlighting something different then what it actually is reading And I wish that if you have to reset your password it would not get rid of your already downloaded books. Thank you! ### 5/5 — Thank you learning ally *2024-10-31, version 4.7.10* I truly thank full for having this app I have read so many book and really got me into reading and listening to books yeah the app has some bugs but I can sometimes figure a way to fix it and if can’t fix it I just ask learning ally for help and some day I hope to read audiobooks a few times for people on this app --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
