I've been using Epic! with my now 4 year old for over a year. It's awesome. There are a plethora of great books. They miss many of my absolute favorites, but the ones they have are very good and we've found new favorites. And tons of audiobooks! Those are fantastic to have. However, finding all the books in a reading level is impossible, and I very much wish that was MUCH easier. I create lists myself and have found workarounds, but it's annoying and I wish we could search by reading level only.

I Love this app! It's very fun for the kids have a list of their favorites and the "read to me" option is also good help, when I've got to help another child with their school work. Kids also get to change their profile pictures as they earn higher achievements. The only issue we've had... is that I can't seem to be able to link our already existing account, to his teachers group, with all of his classmates.

This app is great! I like the variety of books available, though I hope the library continues to expand. The user interface is easy to navigate and I love being able to download for offline reading. Two things I'd like to see added are a repeat button so the littlest readers can easily replay the same book again and again. Add the ability to download the book from the non grid style list along with the available options, collection and/or favorite.

The best feature of this app by far is the appearance of the digital books, as compared with books on Amazon Freetime, which download slowly, and are hard to read until you double click the paragraphs, which is difficult to get right with a child, etc. Even the digital books on Libby are sometimes frustrating to read. Every book, audiobook, read-to-me books, and videos play seamlessly. The selection is excellent including books in Spanish! I also love that it's free to educators.

Love it!! I am a mother and all 4 of my kids use it. It's awesome that some of 4he hooks are read to you and the words are highlighted. It helps so much with my little ones and it has other books that you can read on your own. My kids use it when we are in the car and they just go from book to book. The app is easy to use for any kid and it's just a great amount of book options for many age groups.
