Love this!

Originally got it because my kids needed to read over the summer. Now, they use it even after school,! My kids love it so much and especially love how it’s formatted like their real schoolwork. 5 stars, I recommend especially if your kid is not strong in reading!

This app is so glitchy

I would use this app if I could. I can’t even load in it in freezes your screen and kicks you out every 5 seconds, not to mention it also puts you in the wrong grade level. It puts every grade level besides the one you pick. I don’t like this app at all.
