Hi
This I so fun but you have to buy some things
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!
So glitchy!
We couldn’t get anywhere with this app because it kept closing randomly. Kinks definitely need to be worked out!
It’s pretty good
It’s fun to read but some thing is missing
Needs improvement
This app is just terrible so slow and the reading voices are just the same from my I pad. Fix now please I love the books but you know… yeah.
Review
Please make the app free. It will be much better. I’m in grade 5 by the way.great books tho. But please make the app free.
Great content and design
This app is easy to use and filled with great content.
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.
I like it a lot
I do like this app, it really has helped me with reading comprehension and memorizing skills although, it cost so much money for me because I don’t have a job yet and I would like it to be a little bit less money. Anyways, I do recommend buying this app.
Bad
These books are good. But there are so many books unlocked! I ran out of books my grade level! And you have to pay? If many people like it, I would say it’s OVERPRICED AND OVERRATED !
Shop the money to unlock
I think it is so unnecessary to have books unlocked, I can’t aforesaid to pay, I want it for free
RECOMMENDEDDDDDD!😍😍😍😋😋
I love this app. It is so great good for your child and also you get free lessons, but not all of them are free but still there’s different types of books like and different types of Grade for your child. I love this app and you need to download it. Trust me!!!!!!!!!!
Screen freezes
I can't even use it bc the screen turns purple no matter if i redownload or not fix it.
Good
So far it has been great using this app except for all the payments.
BEST APP EVER!
So many options to read from and the quizzes at the end of each book really help me understand things like text structure main idea events and more! I really recommend this app. You can even pick what level reader you are and then recommend books based off my level.
Has a glitch when you open the app
I love this app, but it has a glitch. When you open the app and select the profile it will kick you out the app. I tried a few times. I’m already uninstalled the app and I’m about to reinstall the app again but I’m worried it will kick me out again.
Bad review
This is to hard so make it easier by making the words biger
Love thisssss soooo much. 😍
I have soooo much fun reading there and I am only in the 5th grade. I can learn like this and have more fun my siblings would love this game too.
No
Toooooo much money that I don’t have
Pls add this
Hi Can you add the SMILE books pls I’m in grade 4
So cool
It is helping me learn to read better and I really like reading better
I hate this app
I hate reading 2,3 and rade books I’m literally in 6 th grade
It’s great just a few things..
This app is awesome 😎 it’s just payments... I am currently in grade 4 and read a story called: “Holiday Spirit”. And I wanted to read more. So I scrolled down the home page. And saw grade 8 reading,I pressed it because I’m good at reading and can read grade 8. But when I clicked it said:”Payments”. And showed an amount of money you have to pay,I was sad 😔.... Please improve the paying!! That’s why I rated the app 4 out of 5. Anyways, the app is awesome!!! :D
Please can you let me have this offer free
Please
Restore my individual apps or give me lifetime access please
I don’t dare update this app because I assume it will strip even more content than it already has. An FYI about this developer- I purchased many, MANY apps spanning all the different grades for reading and learning, from this dev a long time ago and ALL have been removed from the App Store, but first updated to remove/place content under a paywall and three page ads for this Spark app added there… restore feature DOES NOT WORK, even though I still have these apps on my device. I am a special educator and work hard to find quality resources for my students. Yet again PRO /FULL apps were updated to become LITE apps, then removed from the App Store , and replaced with this subscription app! Please contact me about how I can obtain a free LIFETIME app to regain access to the contents I once had, because this is not cool to do to early adopters of your app!
good
very good
To the books
The story’s are a masterpiece put together
F
Bad
good for kids under 18
it is good for kids
Not actually a free app.
This app isn’t actually free. It is a 7 day free trial.
