A new reading adventure app for kids ages 3 to 9 Hosted by LeVar Burton, the App offers a trusted library of books customized to your child s interests, plus exciting video field trips to meet ...
For 4 99 a month I am incredibly impressed with the book selection As a preschool teacher I also appreciate the variety of fiction nonfiction Since much of early reading is about interest and developing a love for reading asking for the child s interest is right on track                     Impressed HappyUserAutumm
Do not use this app It is a ripoff You pay 15 00 for every stupid book you get     Good app d.j. jordyn
My granddaughter loves this and wants to say something I luv this stuff it is It inspires you to be anything I feel                     Great Mushy carrots
My family was very excited for Skybrary but it has fallen short The actual practical use of a educational distraction in the shopping cart car or on airplane travel is unavailable Overall the price tag is not worth the time I spend downloading and returning the 5 books you can check out My kid devoured those in two seconds         Not usable without Wifi No Airplane Mode
This is the best book app out there My kids and I love it                     The best JEBS9747095618
When you are looking back and your memories of reading are the worlds that were brought to life in your imagination that s your reading journey Now you re a guide to that journey with a beginning reader I bet you want to guide this new journey to magical memories for your new young reader This is THE cutting edge of creating that train depot that leads anywhere                     Learning to read is a journey kerrymosser
The text in some books is SOOOO small I have to hold the screen to my face just to see what it says         Good app BUT Dudleymom88
    I don t want to pay to read pink blue 60
How can my daughter learn to READ if the writing on the books are so small you can hardly make out the words without putting the phone right up to your face Illustration and voice over is great would be better if she could actually read along with the book without squinting her eyes         Writing on books way to small Mommy of a three aged
Too hard to read     Print in books too small Markka dry
I love the interactive books and videos                     One of my favorite apps Tons text
My family loves it They always use the app when we go on car rides or when they re bored at home It s good to keep their imaginations going with reading I totally recommend Plus I love reading rainbow I remember watching the videos when I was a kid                     Awesome Gonzachr006
My 4 year old says he doesn t like it Please cancel my subscription     My son is not interested I want to cancel Quicksand420
We couldn t access a single book The app just shuts down My kids didn t tell me it didn t work until after the 30 days and now I can t stop the subscription Awful scam reining the reading rainbow name I would have donated the but I e I am just mad and would like a refund on principle     It s a scam Lrigykruc
It was a great app that helped me and my kids know what it was like to have a good book                     Great app Derrell&Emily
I am so grateful that I heard about this program I wish there was more publicity so everyone could know about it My son is reading so much more because the books read to him so he doesn t have to rely on me I get tired of reading after reading a few books to him myself All of the video content available is also amazing 5 a month is less than one of my coffees and BEYOND worth it for what is available I do not have a library I can borrow books from that is in a safe area so this is a God send Also I met LeVar Burton and he really is a genuinely nice guy Sign up for the app and website and tell all of your friends so no one misses out                     LOVE 765;:
Update Go to read a book that s been in the backpack for months and it has to re download Our subscription is still good but we re using a slow hot spot Just check the subscription license DRM shouldn t require re downloading everything Everything that we didn t like about it last time we subscribed is still broken and more In some books books that have been in Skybrary for years animations pop over the text and stay there whether you tap on them or not obscuring most the text on that page before you or your child can read it Yes even and especially in the pre K books Rather than fixing this app or the versions for Android Kindle it seems that all pretense at quality control has been dropped across the board     The price is more manageable but witchdoctorIT
VERY costly app in both money and time for parents and frustration for kids The app constantly asks for the password which requires the parent to enter Of course you ll forget your password and spend 15 minutes reseting it Then your child will not use the app for 3 months in the meantime you ll be charged for another 6 month or year subscription which you have no time to cancel nor warning of the recurring charge upcoming Don t get suckered Buy your kids some real books and read them to your children You know Like real parents     Yuck the real raskol
I ve backed this since the Kickstarter campaign and subscribed since the app was released I really really really want to use this more but I don t find my son and I using it all that much Why Finding books is clunky There is no listing of books by authors Often how we find a new book is by reading a book by an author and liking it then going and finding more of their books Absolutely no way to do that here No search There s a search button but it tells you search is coming soon It s been three years Only five books at a time The backpack idea is cool but come on I should be able to add books to an endless list like shows movies in Netflix Since you can only download five at a time if my son rejects those five or we read them all and want another we have to find another book and wait for it to load etc The sticker thing is still coming soon What s with putting buttons in your app that don t work Finally and perhaps biggest to me although admittedly my son probably doesn t care the books are low quality images Children s books that I buy on iBooks look gorgeous on the big iPad Pro But in Skybrary they don t take up the whole screen and are all pixelated Offline reading It s back now but why was it ever gone I really wish this app was easier to use and more functional I really support the mission behind it and want it to succeed Unfortunately as it is it doesn t feel like a cutting edge app and service                     Could be so much better rcniman
This app is great because not only do my kids love it I mean LOVE IT but as a parent I can trust all the content in this app The diversity of the books available are outstanding My 5 year is reading about everything from Hanukkah to Sir Cumference math stories to stories about monsters pirates and fairies oh my All the while totally engaged and entertained And that s just the books I could write another review just on the quality and subject depth of the video field trips alone The world of Reading Rainbow inspires my kids imaginations and sparks conversations about the mysteries of the world which brings me great joy It s the starting place for so much that I can then add to and that s truly priceless All that plus LeVar as their guide need I say more Sure the apps not perfect no apps are but I trust that these guys will continue to develop it and that s all I could ask for for my dollars                     Still a great app macdaddy5000
Amazing I grew up watching reading rainbow very educational I downloaded the app for daughter 3 years ago she loves it                     Mom Abcdefghjklmnopwrstuvwxyz
I downloaded this and there are no books to choose from     Downloaded but no books to choose from ZionsOwn
We absolutely loved the app but after the new updates we have been disappointed We can no longer access anything if we don t have an internet connection This is very frustrating when traveling         The app was sonnig better before your updates broke it Frustrated In TN
We ve had the app for Reading Rainbow practically since it started loved it My ten year old had every sticker available the 3 year old just got her profile and first batch of stickers We used the reading history as a memory timeline Now no picture no history that one is heartbreaking and it shuts off three or four times every book we have to keep restarting the book It s frustrating the girls are getting fed up It s sad that constant tweaking has ruined a great app         Renovation fail RossCrew #6
My daughter and I loved the original app she would read books before nap and bedtime There were nights she asked for Reading Rainbow because it was so fun She can t even download books without me lifting the restrictions this is ridiculous Please allow offline reading and book selection My daughter gave me her iPad after an hour of trying to download book she s disappointed in the updates     Frustrated my preschooler Mom of frustrated preschooler
My 5 year old daughter loves this app She loves story time and loves when someone reads to her She loves watching the field trip videos Missing search feature I heard it is coming soon LeVar inspired an entire generation to read I am glad he is back inspiring this generation                     Great Reading App for my 5 yr old Sammysir
I am so happy to see Reading Rainbow and LeVar Burton continuing to do such great work I appreciate the diversity of books and videos offered at a variety of reading levels My two boys love the books being read to them and clicking on the fun interactive animations Thank you RR for making reading fun                     My kids love it Beegee4567
Skybrary is one of only a handful apps I trust whole heartedly and will hand to my kids without a second thought Both the book and video content is rich deep and thoughtfully curated to encourage satisfying curiosity through reading Topics range from art to nature to science and adventure Both my children love it so much that Skybrary is regarded as a reward That s impressive Thank you Reading Rainbow for putting a quality app out there My kids just LOVE it                     A favorite at our house RubiRedness
My oldest has been using the app for a couple years and now my youngest is now in the app s age range What sets this app apart from the other similar apps is quality over quantity Other apps have more books but they do it with comics cartoon characters and other franchises Also the videos teach kids about the world that they may not experience in their immediate lives Especially after the recent US election I appreciate Reading Rainbow s videos showing diverse topics cultures and perspectives in a very approachable and appropriate way for kids Oh and thanks for the iPhone app Super convenient for car rides and restaurants                     Reading Rainbow Rocks Muruaneq
My kids and I love reading books together and with this app we can read hundreds of books                     LOVE this app macarrao_e_guat
My 4yr old loves reading now This app is fun and engaging for him He loves the animations and engaging stories Can t thank you enough                     Finally an app that gets my kid to read Mggdavis
My son loves this app and after the latest update I had to leave a review Much faster and looks better than ever So great having an endless supply of worthwhile children s books                     Fantastic for kids ronche82
I grew up in this show and when I heard it was coining back I was super excited I read the other reviews and thought I would chime in My two nephews and I love this app We read the books together unless LeVar is the voice of the auto reader then we find videos we can watch that are the same subject of the books Eli 2 years old likes the Honest Abe video because their is a scarecrow in it Ethan 7 years old is really into the dragon books because I read and he gets to make the pictures animate when he touches the screen it s amazing to get to share my childhood with my nephews I love the animation the many islands full of books There are pieces of the original episodes I know people seem frustrated with no being able to view the books offline but even with that minor flaw the app is worth it I am not a technical guru but I can say bed time stories have become a must in our house hold and I m so happy with this service Ethan wants me to add every kid need this because it s soooooo coool                     Go anywhere be anything Tommypx3
My kids love it It s good to see them so fascinated in content that s edifying and uplifting I haven t experienced any of the issues reported in other reviews maybe try deleting and reinstalling the app That sometimes helps apps that are having issues after a version update Thanks                     Fantastic App and Service Deathbrin
Disappointed I can t get past the page to subscribe It just keeps saying it s loading I hope it doesn t charge me It never loaded for me to even see the free version     Disappointed AimeeLaw13
This App keeps crashing when we try to read any book It doesn t save pages where we left off It doesn t give the option to scroll through multiple pages like the video shows We have to turn page by page and hope the effort doesn t make it crash Also I m not pleased that my kids can t use this App offline They should be able to fill their backpacks like before the update Please correct these issues Otherwise it s not worth a 60 subscription I ll rather purchase a different reading App     Keeps crashing 3vgals
Has potential I cant even create an account before it crashes So hopefully it gets fixed and I would bet it will be a 5 star app        Crashes
This is the best thing in the world for long car trips Our 5 yo son has had this for a year loves changing his backpack having books read to him watching LeVars videos We love the educational material so varied And we dig LeVar his voice is soothing to parents Thank you Reading Rainbow staff                 Dynamite
Tech support refused to contact me never refunded my money Not worth the risk     Buy at own risk
My 4 year old was so excited to get books and start learning to read with this app But weve had too many problems dealing with it Partly from our horrible Internet military overseas dont have other options for companies but partly from this app The books dont load right no option to redo a download if it doesnt download correctly I wish I could give this app 5 stars and that I was even tempted to pay the subscription fee This trial run is just full of disappointment        Disappointed
We can never get enough of Reading Rainbow here at our household I can remember watching the show back in the day when it was on PBS now I think its SO great that it was brought back so now my kids can enjoy it as well I love that there is new video content with LeVar Burton and he STILL is amazing and hundreds of books to chose from I cant say that I have experienced the same bug problems that others have reported on here As a family we like to get together and pick and chose different books to read especially around bed time my kids cant get enough and never can I Thank you Reading Rainbow and LeVar for continuing to produce wonderful content From a very happy mom                 We LOVE This App
My son is seven Hes not the biggest fan of reading He strives to do his best but if he hits a snag while reading he tends to become frustrated and lose the desire to read This is now his favorite app His ability to read when and what his mind desires surpasses his frustration We have tried many learning apps throughout the years This by far has the most content It is subscription based and for me thats fine I just want him to find out how wonderful a good book really can be                 The joys of reading
I am furious After donating to the first very first Kickstarter campaign because I deeply believe in the core principles of Reading Rainbow and the spirit PBS brings to making educational materials available to all I find this product unaffordable for my family We still count on PBS over the air because we cant afford cable I certainly cant afford the subscription rates offered here Great app great program lost its spirit     Great program lost core values
Reading Rainbow is truly amazing and I use it often as a teaching tool in my Educational Therapy practice However I would use it MUCH more if I could quickly find books by age Id also like to see books for children under the age of 6 These issues are problematic for me but I still give it 4 stars              Wish I could find books by age
This is way beyond badits reprehensible There is a stupid video that plays EVERY time you start the app and cant be stoppedyou have to sit through it Then there is an annoying signup where you have to give your email address but every address we supplied was already in use even the one we made up with 20 random characters I can only figure they want your email address to send incessant emails This procedure so confounded my daughter and I that she got upset and started crying     Made my daughter cry
I like the app but you should be able to buy the books you want without being forced to subscribe to the app     Forced to subscribe
I cant even get logged in I hope they get things fixed because Im so excited for my kids to try     So excited But crashes
Bummer I loved Reading Rainbow as a kid This app is beautiful and has a lot of selection and variety of books on the iPad but when I can get all that for free at the library I just cant justify spending 50 a year 5 free books just isnt enough and the subscription cost is too high        Should have read the fine print
This is awesome Im trying to instill an interest in reading and Reading Rainbow plays a large role in that for my children ages 7 and 9                 Terrific
Really enjoying Reading Rainbow with my kids Five books were free then I bought the monthly plan so they could keep on reading Nice to see LeVar doing what he does best but now for my children                 Great Update
Im beyond disappointed I paid the 50 for this app largely because I believed Id be able to access it from my desktop as well as my ipad It doesnt work at all Customer service thought quick to respond was not helpful in fixing the problem Instead admitted that it was a known issue when the app is first purchased from the ipad What I want my money back Such a waste of money If an app is going to cost that much money it sure seems like the developers would do a better job at making sure it works as advertised Seriously how can I get a refund     Beyond disappointed
My sons teacher recommends this app but I cant even subscribe It crashes every time I get to the email screen so I cant even subscribe Lame I certainly wouldnt pay 5month for a subscription if I cant even get the app to work     Frustrating
Children have the choice between reading the story themselves or having it read to them which makes it great for older children as well as the younger ones The only reason I gave this app 4 stars instead of 5 is because the text is not hightlighted as it is read I think from an educational stand point highlighting the text would draw more attention to the text so children could see and hear the words simultaneously              Almost perfect
The kids I babysit have a limited time to play games or watch tv so I got the app in hopes of them passing time And it works The kids love the animations each book has They also play with stickers and watch educational videos that the parents are happy with The videos star LeVar Burton like the original series which reminds me of my childhood All in all Reading Rainbow Skybrary is a great time and definitely lets me have some free time from the kids                 The App is a Lifesaver
My daughter I love this app The book variety fun videos enter active books make our bedtime reading time fun This always room to grow but this app has enough value to warrant my subscriptionand I dont pay for apps often              Very entertaining app
I cant seem to get this app open in my iPad Ive had RR on my daughters kindle and never have issues Guess well stick to that     Crash crash crash
We bought the year subscription as a gift for my daughter She really loves RR especially the videos and the great recordings of the books The biggest issue you need to work on other than the crashing is that theres no way to increase the text size unless Im missing something and some of the books are written in either small or serif curly q fonts which are difficult for early readers to read with no way to increase in size           Love that RR is back BUT
We love this App Yes Reading Rainbow is constantly making updates to improve the experience and we appreciate the effort This is an excellent alternative to video games The kids are reading while they get their technology fix for the day They enjoy picking out their next story                 Great Update
This app does not work on my ipad air 2 When trying to register I can not see the while screen     Can not view on ipad air
This app gets my son to read Great selection of books                 7 year old loves it
I havent experienced any of the issues others have reported What I have seen are numerous updates that have continued to make the app better and better Theres already a huge library of diverse books and videos and more come every week so I trust my kids can always find something theyre interested in It really is a TREMENDOUS VALUE and CONVENIENCE to have so much 5star content available to my kids daily I dont doubt the issues others have reported what software doesnt have bugs iTunes itself has crashed twice while writing this review but any issues are far out weighed by the benefits this app brings to my kids But dont take my word for it youll just have to try it for yourself Its not perfect but still great in so many ways                 Not perfect but still great
My kids are both drawn to the app The books are wonderful and the look and feel of the graphics are spectacular A lot of thought went into this                 Fantastic
My daughter loves reading rainbow But the videos are not playing Hope its a bug that gets fixed soon              Love it but
Bs programit never allows you to dl more then one book at a timeAnd while it is dl that one book it keeps saying dl interruptedplease try againI have excellent wifi in fact Im sitting right next to my routerI want a refundDo not Pay for shy service     BS
My 6 year old daughter constantly asks me why there are only 2 girls backpacks and 45 boy backpacks Please fix this              Almost perfect but
My kids and me too really enjoy this app I have young kids but at very different reading ages and not only does this app offer books that are skilllevel appropriate for both but also the titles are across a wide range of topics Music history biography fantasy adventure science all kinds of stuff Really cool app                 Fantastic Breadth Neat Graphics
Every time I get to the part where the new user signs up by email and password the app shuts itself down Ive tried several time and Im giving up and deleting it Im sad too because I love reading rainbow     App wont start
I used to enjoy the show as a kid and my daughter has enjoyed her limited time using the app After my initial use of the app I have not been able to log into my account I have requested a password reset numerous times and I do not receive the promised email with a new password However I do receive annoying promotional emails from you daily I would like a refund if this problem is not resolved as my money is paying for no service at all Why is the login feature even required If I have paid to have unlimited access what is the point of requiring me to login from my own device No other app requires that nuisance My child would like to access the books I have paid for her to read Please fix this issue soon or refund my money Lana Warren     I paid for nothing
Agonizingly slow downloads Rarely updated with new books We had high hopes for this kickstarter app but it is not aging well Most disappointing is the frequent trivial updates to hide critical reviews and constructive criticism        One month is enough
My 4 and 6 year old adore this app Its truly wonderful                 My kids love it
Great app Fast downloads New books and video field trips added every Friday                 Reading Rainbow Rocks
This can be a really wonderful app but always crashes as soon as I attempt to sign into our existing account or try to navigate to an island This may work on a newer unit but Ive thus far had zero luck on my 2nd Gen iPad Troubleshooting notes if youre curiousFYI 1 There is ample HD space remaining on this unit over 1GB 2 Ive made sure that all other program instances have been force closed 3 Ive shut downrestart and unreinstalled the program several times cmon Bessie I can say that it CAN be a great app because it works fine on both our older Kindle Fire and our new Kindle Fire HD not HDX with some minor animation sputters on the older unit I honestly thought that if it worked on those itd be golden on even an iPad 2        App Can Be Great Always Crashes on my iPad 2
I grew up with Reading Rainbow I downloaded this app to help my son learn to love reading This app always crashes we are unable to download and deleting the app and reloading it is not helpful Save your money     Very Disappointed
We love this app But suddenly nothing works Please fix ASAP I paid for the subscription I need it to work please     Help What happened
I havent been able to access my paid app in weeks Its asking me to log in Ive tried all the email addresses that might be associated with this app and gotten nothing back using their forgotten password link Ive written to the customer service email 3 times and the only response I got was a use the forgotten password link Again I paid for a 6 month subscription It is a great app when it works But seriously give me what I paid for     Terrible customer service
First of all this is a very good app for such an ironic mission to get kids reading books on screens The layout is great options seem vast and once the interface is a little more polished it should be a real winner However as a parent of two girls I was disappointed to see the host is asurprise white male Also it seems out of place in this day and age to make a child select their gender to experience reading I understand the app wants to tailor the experience but I think that can be done on age and interests alone              Very good should be gender neutral
It really help me monitor my sons reading habits                 Great App
Whys the Camera going sideways           Camrera
I have three kids 10 6 and 2 All three of them love this app Great content Lots of books and educational videos Well worth the cost of subscription I grew up watching Reading Rainbow and I hope that they will make ALL of the old episodes available some day soon so that my kids can see them too                 Lots of great books and videos
My nipple hurt best game doe              Cheese
My 6yr old son loves this app The videos are fun and educational He loves that he can pick out his own books and return them I love that each book is read to you A great app worth the money                 A great app
It is great for summer and educational Makes screen time a learning tool                 My kids love this app
my daughter loves this app but today she showed me that she cant download any new books it says download interrupted and we have tried everything We are using the paid version and would really like an answer           great but cant get it to work
My students love the App but this last update has been one crash after another Needs to be fixed ASAP              Love the app but fix the crashes
I want to like this app because of its history but again Im up to 30 minutes and three tries in trying to download the same book           Hanging hanging gone
I paid for this subscription when it first started It worked well for and the last several months I have not been able to download any books No way to contact anyone and no updated app I am really unhappy and my daughter is really disappointed     Cant download books
