I love the app when it works. Witch is not right now. It is saying I'm not subscribed when I am and that I don't have internet when I do.
Cannot login . App hides keyboard
I CANT EVEN OPEN THIS DUMB APP
Cool concept but not the most user friendly. I may have signed up for several subscriptions just trying to get out of the trial mode so my son can get more books, and really only 5 books for a whole month! Might be something we should be made aware of before choosing those books, so that better choices are made
Inconsistent. What ever update has happened has locked the app, rendering it useless. Subscription has been renewed, but can't get to the sign in on restricted mode for children to use.
Get at least your payment system in order. Got charged 49.99 for a year but get subscription expired!! Support doesnt even seem to work on weekends. Total letdown.
Wish the app and books could be stored on SD card. Constant reminders about being low on space because the books and app get so large.
Epic is a much better app This app works fine on my galixy 12 inch tab but on my kidses 10inch tabs I get at black screen were I need to log in andwith the new update it dose not even get to the log in it just crashes at star up
Was working fine on Ipad and Samsung GT-N8013 with 4.1.2 Android no matter what I do I can,t get to start, installs fine no errors but comes up with error unfortunately Skybrary has stopped. Says it should work on this version of android. Will update review when I know more.
I love the content but the stability seems iffy. The videos frequently fail mid stream. Very frustrating for my kids.
I just installed this app and was trying to set up an account but the opening portion where the little boy is talking doesn't load properly. You can hear him talking but you can't see him and the keyboard wont wont show up either. Help Please
I never do reviews. However, I really wanted to for Reading Rainbow, Levar Burton, and for anyone who loves to read, especially to/with children. Thank you for this app and its books. :)
App force closes on opening. Please fix.
I love it. My daughter was really interested and it was easy to navigate.
Samsung galaxy note 10.1 only shows a black screen now. Worked recently. Frustrating.
Unable to use in restricted mode, rendering app useless on my children's tablets
Keeps crashing before I can even log in
This app wasn't actually available to be installed on any device that I currently own, which between several Samsung phones and tablets is inexcusable. My Kickstarter code (from nearly a year ago) is a complete waste, since we cannot use this app. Why has it taken years to roll out a not-even-functioning app? This is shameful.
I paid 9.99 and it still shows me as using a trial
Works fine outside of restricted profile on my Nexus 9, but crashes immediately upon start up when the same tablet is in a restricted profile. Restricted profiles are the "parental controls" of Android, so it's baffling that an app made specifically for children wouldn't function within them.
Great app, very well done and my son loved the interactive stories. Gave it 4 stars because it takes too long to load books and my son gets bored. Android app.
Way too expensive!
Love it love it love it
Reading rainbow
. After all this time and it will not install on most devices. From a basic Moto G, to modern KitKat tablets and even my ultra high-end Motorola, HTC and Samsung phones - all are not compatible. What a disappointment LeVar. What's up with the "TESTIMONIALS" - they're all for the iOS app and not the Android app. Pretty sure that is what my mother would have called a lie. That said, on the whomping 8% of the devices it would install on, the app worked so-so. The books themselves were somewhat choppy but the audio was clear. Browsing books was brutally slow. Far slower then the iOS app.
Lots of bugs. Lots of books don't work. Using Galaxy Tab 3. Once the app gets out of it's growing pains, it should b fine, but unless you are using next gen devices, you will encounter problems. Can't give it 5 for functionality, but it looks beautiful and has lots of potential. Can't wait to see the fixes implimented.
I love this app. After reading to my son tonight he ask if I could read to him from it tomorrow night as well. It works great on my Nexus 7.
LOVE this app. Got it for our 3 year old when we moved to Ecuador and I thought he wouldn't have access to a library. It served us well during our 2 years there. I cancelled the membership when we returned to the States, but now with Covid and our local library closing I repurchased and love it even more! I would highly recommend this app.
