Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 174 reviews, most reviewers were let down by their experience overall. Many people found the user experience to be extremely negative, citing issues with the app and website being outdated, buggy, and slow. Customers frequently mentioned that the product itself, particularly the reading materials, was boring and unengaging, leading to a decrease in their enjoyment of reading. The quality of the content was also a major concern, with many feeling that the questions were often irrelevant or misleading, and the system for tracking progress was flawed. However, some people did find the app to be enjoyable and helpful for improving their reading, comprehension, and vocabulary, with a few even recommending it highly.

If I could I would give this NEGATIVE stars. Reading Plus is a Bug Filled heckscape. They say it's primary goal is to "increase your reading speed" when in reality it's "decrease your reading speed".... See more

This is really pointless like 😒 bro..

This is really pointless
I have been using this for the past 2 years and apparently it improves your reading speed and i have been stuck at the same speed for two years.the worst part is that we have a crazy amount of work to do,and if you dont do it you have to do it as homework .

Should be classed as torture.

Absolutely terrible. Forces you to read at a slug's pace, while trying to get you to answer stupid questions about some random book you didn't want to read anyways. I have to install ReadingPlusClues onto my browser to even make it bearable. This should be classed as a torture method and it should be illegal to make children use this. The website looks like it came out of North Korea, and the stupid reading combo crap just makes it worse.

Horrible

I have to do this stupid platform for homework and we have to sit there for hours just doing it and when I read it I fall asleep and I dream of a place far away where reading plus is nothing but gone and I get to read real books. When I wake up I realise that I am not in that place and I am actually in class, slowly withering away in front of my screen. This app/website is a waste of gigabytes and you’re better off using you’re device to do steal a brain rot and get a turbotracto 3000

Reading plus is terrible!

Reading plus is terrible! My child struggles lots with their homework and reading, they have to FIVE reading! And TWO vocal and they haven't improved a bit.

Firstly, darcy ,my child, find all of the reading exercises boring! Myself I have looked at the options and all of them are utterly USELESS.

Secondly, the reading is just hard to follow if you miss a single part then you don't understand anything else that it says. And it takes too long! Darcy struggles with her ADHD symptoms and is a very fast reader so she cannot focus on what is being said!

Lastly, the question are just too hard. Sometimes it even asks stuff that weren't in the text. There are TEN questions every 10 minute text five of them is 1 hour 40 mins. Darcy needs free time OFF screens.

I think reading plus is unacceptably terrible, altogether I think homework is terrible, schools i really don't recommend making your students do this its really bad and just absurd! I hate reading plus please get rid of it.

Terrible , life threatening app

I was on reading plus for a whole 25 minutes yesterday and while I was reading a story about the riddle of the sphinx , the dark matter crawled out of my screen , mega knighted me and then chased my innocent family all the way to Ohio . However ,he want done yet , after he did all of that he decided that he’d had ENOUGH and simply swallowed the whole planet .

This website doesn't help me at all

This website doesn't help me at all; it doesn't even help my learning, as it is a waste in class. I think we shouldn't do this in class. I think it should be banned in schools. It is buggy and never helps me, I ask my classmates if they like it and they all said they dont.
