1. [R5] Epic 5/5 · US Epic epic: This is amazing I definitely recommend if your children like to read but not on books
2. [R9] Epic 3/5 · US The adds are stupid: If a kid likes reading, but doesn’t want her 15 minutes of reading, they like reading count that for their 15 minutes a day they’re gonna read naturally don’t force them to read for certain amount of time when you know they’re already gonna read they like reading other than that great app ninja cats great series sorry I mean cat ninja
3. [R17] Epic 5/5 · US Lots of books that you can read: I like epic it is a cool reading app
4. [R23] Epic 5/5 · US Epic: It’s very fun. It’s great place for kids to start reading. It’s educational. They’re always making new books. That’s why I think this should be 555 stars.
5. [R1] Epic 1/5 · US Not free: Subscription based. Only get book previews free. Be careful signing up it’s sneaky about subscribing.
6. [R3] Epic 3/5 · US Amazing but one thing.: I love epic and they have great books for younger and older kids but one thing when you sign in you have to get a subscription. I had signed up and agreed with terms and stuff but yet it still told me it would only show previews of the books, even though I already got the subscription I keep doing it but it still does the same thing. It might be just me either way if it is
7. [R7] Epic 1/5 · US Epic is NOT epic at all!: Epic is NOT epic at all! It doesn’t work when you try to get an account, try to get the “epic family” and it doesn’t let you read any books! It only lets you read five/5 pages of a book and then never lets you read anything else! I only had this app for about 30 seconds before it wouldn’t let me read anymore! 5 words: DO NOT GET THIS APP!
8. [R10] Epic 1/5 · US BLUH: So bad im a amazing reader reader but when I got this app I deleted it because you,have to pay to use the app thats why i gave i star
9. [R6] Epic 3/5 · US Good but something: Good but I HATE WHILE I WAS READING I got interrupted by blah blah bah I don’t wanna talk about it
10. [R12] Epic 3/5 · US It's okay but more updates 2 to: I like it, but I try to go in it and it keeps saying that I don’t have an account, but I already do and it makes my brother very mad because he was trying to read a book, but they kept telling me to buy it
11. [R25] Epic 2/5 · US Double charges: My kid genuinely loves Epic for the read-along books and craft videos, so I wanted this to work. But the billing has been a constant headache. For months I was charged twice for the same monthly subscription. Every time I caught it, I had to go request a refund through Apple myself. Epic support just pointed me back to Apple instead of fixing anything on their end. I finally bough
12. [R49] Epic 1/5 · US Stop charging me: Please stop trying to charge me! I even removed the app from my phone. Never renewed or anything. I don’t even have you under my subscriptions, but you still continue trying to charge me $85. Please stop. Thank you.
13. [R66] Little Stories 3/5 · US NOT ELIGIBLE FOR REFUND: Cancelled my subscription &they still took my money!!! PLUS THEIR STORIES AINT WORTH HAVING IN YOUR PHONE TO READ TO ANYONE!!!! THEY WONT REFUND ME SO HERE I AM GIVING A BAD REVIEW FOR THEM &APPLE WOULDNT GIVE ME MY REFUND; I DONT RECOMMEND THIS APP BECAUSE I DONT EVEN USE IT I DELETED IT &CANCELLED MY SUBSCRIPTION &SAYS THATS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR A REFUND; UNLESS YOU WANT TO
14. [R67] Little Stories 1/5 · US No response on email from support: I have purchased the stories to share this as family subscription with my kid account but despite many attempts it is not working and over many weeks no response from abc@…. Support address either. Either refund the money or fix the problem. Posting it here to get a resolution.
15. [R14] Epic 5/5 · US Great but needs more badges: When I first got all the badges, I only had three more left I really want more badges. I still give five star reading because your app is amazing. I love it.
16. [R20] Epic 5/5 · US Kelani statement about epic reading: 10/10 Great for kids great for learning
17. [R21] Epic 3/5 · US Good App but I don’t like Reading for 20 every Mon, Tue, Wed, Thurs.: The app is a good app for reading but it can get boring if you read for like a hour every single day, so when I have to read for 20 minutes each day I get sad so it is a good app though. 👍
18. [R24] Epic 3/5 · US I liked it at school but HOME??!!!: Ok this is just well..”epic” I do like reading some cat ninja after a lesson but when I tried reading this at home we’ll all the books didn’t have the full story until you PAY so please fix this epic I love these books I believe in you 📖📖📖❤️
19. [R43] Epic 1/5 · US Awful: I have to pay to read a book. What the heck man. That’s like saying I need a yearly subscription to breathe air. I might never use this app again. Oh, right I couldn’t cause I had to pay for it. What the heck man. This app is awfully awful. I hate this app. I can’t read cat ninja! CAUSE I HAVE TO PAY FOR IT!!! booo…..
20. [R31] Epic 1/5 · US I hate it: Why dose it cost so much it cost 84.99$ so much money.
21. [R36] Epic 3/5 · US Just another overpriced subscription: This app was amazing when I first used it, I happily bought the membership because I thought it was worth it so my kids can read every day, especially during covid lockdown when we couldn’t go anywhere. When the prices increased I would wait for the deal to get a year long subscription. They even used to have a limit of books available daily for free, or free
22. [R63] Little Stories 3/5 · US I decided to let my little sister listen to these stories, but I saw that they're paid. There are only four free stories. Why not one star? Because there are a few stories, I think it'll do for five days. · translated
23. [R87] Little Stories 3/5 · US Very Well Made But…: This app is beautifully made. You can tell the developers really put their time and effort into it. However, you only get ONE book to read unless you want to spend money. It’s free to download the app which is nice but you’re limited to just one book which is quite pitiful.
24. [R88] Little Stories 1/5 · US Disgustada: Solo te permiten leer un cuento y los demás tienes que pagar para que sean desbloqueados.
25. [R99] Little Stories 3/5 · US More books: I think you should have more books that you can read. You should not have one book you can read or two books you can download .What about the kids who parents does not want to waste money please make more books that you do not have to pay for.
26. [R70] Little Stories 1/5 · US 8 a month or 50 a year: Not paying for free books
27. [R73] Little Stories 1/5 · US NOT FREE: Costs $9/ month
28. [R75] Little Stories 3/5 · US Good but not enough stories: I was so excited to get this and the stories seemed to be good. I got the yearly subscription and my son and I got to reading one every night. I was SO surprised and disappointed to reach the end of the book rather quickly! I thought for sure I could have made it at least 6-8 months before I reached the end of the library, especially paying $50 for it. It’s a good and
29. [R64] Little Stories 1/5 · US Limited: No login option so can’t use it on other devices
30. [R78] Little Stories 3/5 · US I like but: I like the app, but I don’t see an option to log into the app from a different device. I pay for the app so naturally it’s on my IPad, but when my daughter downloaded the app, there was no option to log in. I had to cancel my subscription unfortunately.
