Endless Reader for Negative User Reviews
✓ DeannaUntil recently, I would have given Endless Reader a 5star rating as my granddaughter loved the app. However, awhile back I did an iPad shuffle and passed her iPad to my grandson. I had to reload the app back onto the iPad several times in order to get all of the word lists I had purchased. Now I find that the app only works when connected to Wifi - which was NOT the case when my granddaughter used the same exact iPad just weeks ago. When not connected to Wifi, the app simply crashes upon opening I have tried to contact the developers THREE TIMES to no avail. As is, the app is useless, as my grandkids use their iPads in the car, without Internet connection. I am extremely disappointed in the lack of customer service and feel that my money has been wasted..Version: 3.4
✓ Good Learning App but…...It’s a good educational app but would’ve like to be able to change the voice to be British English, Australia English etc; particularly with the phonics. Maybe the developers would look at this option in the future upgrades. I paid for the full version. A warning for any early educator buying this app for their class; these words aren’t the traditional ‘sight words’. eg. ‘to’ is a sight word but in this app they use ‘two’..Version: 1.0
✓ Son finished the “free” portion in less than 1 dayThe 1st 10 site words are free and have cute graphics, however you must pay for anything after. It doesn’t even get completely through Level 1, before having to pay for more words. Truly disappointed. Maybe if we could afford to pay to unlock all the levels, it would be more beneficial, but that would cost fortune. Cute idea, but we can continue learning site words another FREE way just as BENEFICIAL..Version: 3.6
✓ Distorts the soundsI quite liked the look of this one in that it states the letter alphabetically and phonetically. With the word ‘cake’ the ‘a’ was pronounced ‘ay’ phonetically which I thought was a nice detail until the ‘e’ was pronounced phonetically when it should have been silent. Good intentions not well executed. Not UK English and also the monster voices distorted how you pronounce the sounds phonetically and also whether the sound is stretchy or bouncy. Not very innovative either. I think my children would feel as if they were doing work with this one and do it for less time!.Version: 3.4
✓ Not worth itYes ok it's free to begin with and I can but up with the app only going up to the letter f before I have to buy more but I am so glad I didn't buy anything as this game just kept crashing. Ended up deleting it. Not worth the download..Version: 1.8
✓ Do not recommendI purchased the 4 pack bundle a while back. Every time I get into the app it says it’s downloading new words. I don’t actually think the feature works. Also for the last 5 years step 3&4 has said new words coming soon. I don’t think the developer actually pays attention to this app. If your going to use this don’t purchase the bundles..Version: 3.8
✓ Can't buy packsMy daughter loves the app. When I try to buy a pack for her. The app makes a weird noise and then crashes. If you fix this issue I will give 5 stars..Version: 2.1
✓ Poor customer supportQuick to reply but not helpful. I was advised to repurchase the app to solve my problem. Plus I'm uncomfortable with how visible the in app purchases are. My kids are constantly accidentally getting into the purchase funnel and then asking for help. It's unnecessary and exploitive to have premium features in the regular flow of the game in a game designed for sub five year olds. Wish I had never purchased..Version: 3.4
✓ Too expensiveOverprice.Version: 2.0
✓ Paid but need paid againI paid for the app but somehow it need me paid again after 2yrs???.Version: 3.4
✓ Rip offI paid for the starter pack $16.99 to have the whole alphabet and then some and in the last month in an update I had it all taken away and only have A to J now so even though I paid for the stater pack and shelled out the money for what I thought I was getting for the life of my iPad now if I want it back I have to pay again??? Not right at all. Refund me or give me back the app I paid for..Version: 2.0
✓ Still downloading complete pack after 3 daysWe’re big fans of Originator and have purchased complete packs for the Endless apps that we have (123, ABC, Reader, and Wordplay), but Reader has been stuck on downloading words for the past three days, even if I leave the app open and on (connected to WiFi and >100 mbps cable connection). It’s been pretty frustrating, and I can only assume that the pack is either utterly massive, or there are issues with Originator’s server, neither of which are assuring..Version: 3.5
✓ No downloadsMy children love this app so I decided to pay for the full version and get the extra 20 words and now it will not download the words I paid for :(.Version: 1.0
✓ Good app but really annoying bugMy son loves this game, but he also loves pressing the home button on my phone and unfortunately this app has a bug where if you leave the app (by pressing the home button) then come back to it, it no longer makes the sounds for he letters or the words as you drag them around. When that happens, my son gets really upset so I have to quit the app then start it up again to get the sounds... but then when the home button is pressed again, we are back to having to quit the app again. It get very annoying very fast for both of us. And if you quit it too many times in a row, when it starts up again sometimes the sound gets all weird and then the app crashes. I wish the solution were as simple as "don't press the home button while you're playing" but my son doesn't get that, and he's obsessed with the home button... so anyway, it's a good app that we both like, but this bug makes it so we both end up annoyed and frustrated very shortly after we start playing. Without this bug I would have given the app 5 stars though..Version: 2.1
✓ Fun but needs workThis app is certainly cute with terrific animations. However, from a learning perspective this app needs work. These aren't sight words - all, ball, cake, dog, eat, funny. These words are at different developmental levels. The pronunciations are unclear. The "t' is said as "ter, tie or tight". The app sometimes pronounces them phonetically, sometimes using letter names. Fun, but there are better apps for learning..Version: 1.0
✓ Ripped off!My 2-5 yr old loved the free stuff and thought I'd buy all levels. It's downloading all day and nothing has loaded?! Give me my money back or fix the glitch.Version: 1.8
✓ Brilliant but way too expensive to buy full versionMy 4yo loves this app but got bored very quickly with what's included in the free version and would like to progress. But it's almost $50 to purchase all the packs - ridiculous. Please make this more affordable for parents!.Version: 2.0
✓ Needs Educational SupportExcellent graphics and entertainment however this app needs an educational perspective. The developers need to research what constitutes a "sight word". They might also like to reconsider their pricing. One positive for this app is in its treatment of words at a word, letter and sentence level. Maybe provide the option for users to switch between letter names and phonemic sounds. Better still, allow the user to record their own to overcome pronunciation concerns. Keep developing!.Version: 1.0
✓ My kid loves it but I'm not sure he's really learning anythingMy kid likes this game a lot. But I'd like there to be a setting to require words to be spelled in order. He already know his letters so he's just dragging them onto the model word in whatever order he pleases. He can't possibly be learning anything useful about spelling or reading. This feature seems so essential that I'd gladly pay extra for it -- although honestly, I can't believe it's not the default..Version: 3.1
✓ Ok but needs British English optionA really good app but don't use it if you're British as there is no option to change from American English, as this will only confuse British children and put them off. If a British English option was available it would be amazing!.Version: 1.0
✓ Files too large, game repetitiveIt takes up almost all of the space on my phone if you buy all the levels. I was hoping the game would change a bit with the more difficult levels but it's just the same thing over and over. I wouldn't recommend purchasing past level 1..Version: 2.5
✓ Family sharing failThe app itself is great! Our grandkids ask to play it on our phones every time we see them. So I bought a big $$$ pack. Turns out that it does not "family share." Only the FREE part of the app is shareable!!! Who needs to share the free part of the app? The purchased part will not go onto my husband's phone. He would have to sign in to MY Apple ID to use what we bought. I'm sorry, I'm not spending $60 for this stuff. I wish I would have known this before I bought any..Version: 3.4
✓ Paid version is crashingPlease fix this! 5 stars if it wasn't crashing.Version: 1.2
✓ Letter sounds need changingGreat program, BUT the animation needs to make the correct sounds for the letters and then heaps of schools would purchase this app. As it us now, our school won't purchase this app as it teaches a silly sound for the letter as you move it into place. This is confusing for young children learning their letter sounds. Please update endless reader and change letter sounds to the correct sound we teach in schools. Thanks.Version: 1.4
✓ Amazing app with one fatal flaw.This app, and many of the other endless games are great and have a really effective way of teaching the letters and words. Unfortunately they are completely “open” for exploration which means that my daughter simply selects the words that she likes the animations for...and skips over the rest. It would be much better if there was a way to lock the game down and guide the kid through a set of sight words systematically. I don’t let her play it any more because she literally just goes back to the same 3-4 words over and over and over. It’s annoying..Version: 3.4
✓ Good but it can be betterWe brough all 3 level word pack for this app and used for half year. Today when I play with my daughter sone pronunciations of letter are very robotic. For example the word myself, the l sound lalala. It should sounded ell instead but the system simply uses the default pronunciation. This makes learn much harder for learn the flow of pronunciation..Version: 3.8
✓ BooYou have to pay for all the levels.Version: 3.8
✓ Excellent but expensiveEngaging and clearly successful in aiding youngsters recognise words, sound letter blends and form sentences. Over-priced for additional packs..Version: 3.5
✓ Unacceptable accentThere should be an option to choose different accents, or to record new audio for each card if desired, because not only does my child not understand what some of the words are in the accent provided, she's going to be told that she's saying them wrong if she says them like that at school. A more neutral accent would have been a better choice..Version: 3.2
✓ Slow down, add highlightI like the app but it needs to highlight when the words that are being read and also a way to slow down the sentence being read because it is fast for my four year old..Version: 3.6
✓ Does not work with family shareWe purchased this app twice on the same family share account, and now trying to install it on a new account under the same family share, and it is asking us to buy it for a third time!!!!.Version: 3.4
✓ No level 2No level 2 because my dad didn’t allow me to buy it.Version: 3.7
✓ Unreasonable price for in app purchasesMy toddler loves this app but unfortunately it only comes with 4 words. He is super frustrated that his new words don’t unlock with progress and the word packs are super overpriced. 3-4$ for one word of $40 for a set of 12?! Parents, don’t waste your time..Version: 3.4
✓ Not good????I dont like it beacause i dont play it its for under 6 age?.Version: 3.5
✓ Good App But...App crashes sometimes. I purchased all the levels but am not getting all the levels.. none from level 2 and perhaps some missing from other levels too. I used to have them all but replaced iPad and not getting all of them anymore. I paid like $50 so yeah.Version: 3.5
✓ "rate me 5 stars" pop ups mid gameIt's a beautiful app and my kid loves it. But it keeps popping up a screen saying "rate me 5 stars" in the middle of her playing with it. I kept hearing her scream "dad! There's a thing with letters. What do I do?" interrupting her play and making her angry. Pretty doubtful the audience of this app would be able to rate it, so why annoy them with this? I'm sure many parents would gladly rate it anyway without prompts like this. I've rated highly other apps by this developer. But this is just annoying and disrespectful..Version: 1.0
✓ Nice looking but...Nicely presented but some difficulties in presenting language like this... taking ‘cake’ for example, the letter ‘a’ when interacted with is being sounded out as if in a blend with one or more other letters. So for the word ‘all’ the presentation of ‘a’ is different. As a learning tool for phonics/reading it doesn’t really work, better to show how the letters blend together to make new phonetic sounds and therefore read whole words..Version: 3.2
✓ I want to love thisI really do want to love this app, everything about it is brilliant apart from they don't teach the letter sounds. For example cat is sounded out c -a -t but they use the letter names see - ae - tee when word building and that is really confusing for emergent readers. I wish they sounded out the words and then it would be really, really amazing..Version: 3.6
✓ Great Until You Switch PhonesI purchased the first set of words and my son loved them. It actually helps with his speech impediment and makes it fun. The app was awesome until we got a new phone. My son got an early gift from his grandma (his very own phone) and I put him on my family sharing plan. All the learning apps I had purchased for him we were able to upload on to his new phone and pick up where we left off except this one. It’s showing all his levels are locked and for him to continue I have to purchase the same levels I just purchased not too long ago. I feel this app should allow us to transfer to another device just as the other apps did. I have to give my phone to my son just for him to use this one app which makes it inconvenient when I also use my phone. If it hadn’t been for this I would have given this app 5 stars..Version: 3.4
✓ No Checks on the LearningI really had high hopes for this app. I bought the full version from the beginning for $30. Now as my 4YO is going through it... there’s no way to ensure she is really learning what is being shown to her. There is no check/test/quiz or something. You can’t even select a sub set of words to continue studying. It’s really annoying and I’m really displeased with this app that I spent money on. I truly feel like it was waste..Version: 3.1
