Actually it is a good app. The problem is, are there only hindi, English ,telugu and other few languages,even there are some foriegn languages like Portuguese. Even I do agree with other people that there should be kannada. It is becoming difficult for the children who speak kannada. Google I need a positive reply of this feedback as soon as possible. Please 😞

I am unable to open this app in my phone. After download when I tapped on app icon all screen went blank and all apps icons disapeared for a moment and apeared again but this app could not open. I have to open it from play store each time. One other problem is that it is not accepting partener code. It always shows "some error please try after some time.".

I purchased a lot of mobile data (which is very costly at my place) to be able to download enough stories on the tablets of my two kids to use offline. Few days later, all downloaded stories vanished into thin air. I tried to download them again with extra purchased data but to no avail. Even though my data keeps being used up, the only feedback I get is "Wait for other stories to download". Meanwhile, nothing new seems to be downloaded even after updating the app to its latest version.

Sync progress to parents account to view on multiple devices.. more TTS voices to choose from that may sound more natural.. functionality to manage and download multiple stories

I think this app stresses on the journalistic version of "Received English" which is just a British accent without a 'h' accentuation. Many kids speak an Indian accent, which is not supported well. (Even though the original purpose of this app was to serve Indian rural audiences.) A more standard American accent makes it go insane. Handles drawls poorly. It's very mundane - and should have something for all Lexile levels IMO.

This is a great app. My kid keeps on reading on for long time, she has also managed yo fasten the reading speed. Sometimes the app acts weird on terms of listening.. sh speaks right words but it still keeps ok repeating.. One more glitch. The speach bubble from the word games just gets frozen on the screen and doesn't go at all.. even if I kill the app. It just is there. I have to restart the whole phone.. please please please fix this Google. Thank you

It is very useful for junior students. It wiill be better if the app speaks also and let students speak afterwards in English and one other language of students choice. Thereafter the self speak or read stories will be much more helpful. Likewise it should have high level speaking or reading from various subjects for senior students or a separate app as may be possible.

The overall view and content of the app is very good but it would be better if it classifies the content into three levels i.e. Easy, Medium and Hard so that it would help children know their level of development and would also help in improving the reading skills successfully. Also, the games like for increasing vocabulary,Make Sentences, Short Write-ups and also even increasing the level of word formation (Jumbled Words)all this would help improve the reading skills of every child effectively.

Loved this app, it is helping my younger sister who unfortunately missed her kindergarten classes and is poor at Reading English. There are a few bugs apart from that, this is excellent app from google. The bugs like when there is a noise around us it is taking the input as correct, when we go back to read that line again it is not giving that option, forcefully scrolling to next screen, when v want to read the previous screen it should allow us. Hope developers fix these issues soon..thnx

It is a very good app. It helps children to read. It also has mini games after every story. The person who guide us has a good voice. I suggest you to add a mode where we can click a picture of our own textbooks. It helps by-see children can click the pic of their school textbooks and read. The guide will help to read them correctly. This will help in homeworks which say to read chapter/Lesson-. Overall this is good.
