ReadingIQ Reviews

by Jordieleighbee

I signed up last night for the free one month and had every intention to pay the monthly subscription but this morning after a few attempt on my phone and iPad this will not be the case. To start every time I opened ReadingIQ it would take me to creating a new profile even though I had three set up already for my daughters. When I would click the back button to see if I could go back the screen goes blank until I close out ReadingIQ completely. I repeated that step a few times like I said above. I even tried to creat another child profile just so I could see if it would let me go to the main screen so I can cancel the subscription and now it’s telling me we can’t add that child right now. I’ve emailed support but we’ll see since I just read the other reviews saying customer support isn’t great. I should have done this through iTunes at least stopping subscriptions through there is easy. DO NOT BUY.

They are fine if you are purchasing the subscription manually. I had it on auto renew the yearly subscription and not it's saying I didnt pay for the account after they took the money. I tried getting ahold of the company and no one really helps! You get the biggest runaround. Then they sent me a link to create a new account, i have things saved in my account and shouldn't have this issue. Very disappointed.

I got ReadingIQ with the intention to get a yearly subscription since it sounded really promising. I signed up for the free trial and never got it to work. On either Mac or iPad (both run the newest software) I get stuck on a blank screen, created several profiles with the same child and there’s no way to advance or even get so see a book. I reached out to customer support the same day with all information and screenshots provided. A response came 2 days later asking me for the same information I had already provided. Now since 4 days nothing and I can’t access the parents section to cancel this non existing trial or remove my credit card on file. Tried uninstalling ReadingIQ several times, tried different devices and browsers. Very disappointing!

I signed up for ReadingIQ using iTunes. After my trial I paid for the one year subscription. After paying I received an email from this app stating my account had been terminated for non-payment. I contacted this app providing my receipt from iTunes requesting they correct this issue and make my account right, or issue a refund. They refused to do either one. (iTunes is issuing me a refund at this point) I’m shocked at their unwillingness to correct the issue even with proof of payment and the run around to try and get my money again! I will not attempt to use ReadingIQ again and do not recommend it!

Hi. I just downloaded ReadingIQ with high hopes but not happy so far. A few things I don’t like.

1) I created 3 user profiles for my 3 kids, ages 9, 6, and 4. From what I can tell, they are able to switch users themselves? So my 4 year old could pop on to my 9 year olds library? That’s weird to me.

2) what’s up with the “Read 20 mins a day” logo on top of the My Shelf page. That’s so silly. My kids read much more than that, which is why I was looking into ReadingIQ in the first place (for additional content for them to read)

3) ReadingIQ kept freezing up as I was trying to set up an account, kept getting the rainbow circle around and around and around...

In conclusion, I’m going to let my 9 year old play around with it for a few weeks to explore the content but I’m not going to let my 6 and 4 year olds have it until I know that they cannot switch users.

I have not even used the ap yet, but I’m disappointed with the way it was presented. I am a kindergarten teacher and only signed up for website because it Is “free” for teachers. When I created my account it automatically took me to the screen that directed me to download the ap. I downloaded the ap only to find out that there is a 7.99 per month fee. I don’t know if that’s just for the ap or the entire website. I’m very disappointed in this bait and switch type of sales.

Daughter loved ReadingIQ but has now outgrown it. Tried to cancel as per their “easy to cancel anytime through parent account” claim...
Cannot even access parent account...emailed customer support and have not heard back...buyer beware you may be paying for ReadingIQ well after you need it . I feel like I’ve been scammed.

I want to love ReadingIQ. I feel like the levels of reading are so inconsistent. I can find one book at his level that is way too hard for him and another that is too simple. The “read to me,” section is somehow the same books for every level. If they would add more read to me books, with appropriate levels, and make the books listed consistent for each category, it would be awesome. I would love to go to a higher level for him and have it read to him and then have him read it independently after.

So tried ReadingIQ out, which is great love the variety of books, so they had a promote for 1yr subscription, which I purchased through ReadingIQ Store. Next month when required to login, came to a screen to Purchase another subscription. I immediately contact Reading IQ with and email about this, which they haven’t responded to as yet. This is by far the worst customer service, feel like I have been ripped off.

My goal when subscribing was to get specific Lexile level books but was unable to easily find books books within the level my child needed. Lexile score was only listed at the end of the book and was unable to sort books by level. I am disappointed it did not provide this because it would much easier than searching in the library.

I subscribed last year and paid via ITunes. The books selection are great my kids love it. But sometimes, for some reasons, it required me to sign up again and my email address wasn’t recognized anymore. So, I have to cancel my subscription. My iTunes email address is different from the email address that I used for Rainbow IQ. Now, I tried to resubscribe using the recognized email address but it required me to pay. However, I already have a cancelled subscription from my ITunes which is still valid until this September. The question, how can link my recognized email address from Rainbow to Itunes email address?

I did the free trial for my 4 year old daughter. I am a kindergarten teacher and have a thousand (literally) books I can read with her. I was looking for something that would read books to her when she needs to keep herself busy. Unfortunately, their “read to me” library is incredibly limited. I may look into it again when she is older, but I felt this was a big missing piece for a program whose advertising targets preschool children.

I love the array of books. However, to compare with A-Z books, the books that read themselves should be better if they were to have the option that you press the word and reads to you the word that you don’t know.

My teacher introduced this wonderful app to me in the beginning all it asks you to do is a little test to see your level and I rate this for all ages 👍🏾

I love ReadingIQ . For homework, my daughter has to read a book every night, and written In her hw log. ReadingIQ definitely came in handy because it has so many books to choose from. However ReadingIQ keeps freezing and closing out after every 10 min. Very annoying. Please fix!

I just got ReadingIQ and it’s already amazing there’s tons of books to read but I’m interested in a series called wings of fire if you could add it to ReadingIQ I’ve been reading it and it’s a really good series for ages to 9-15 your app is amazing there’s no glitches no bugs it’s amazing

I am a fifth grader ReadingIQ helps me so so much I just want to say thanks so much I love that there is new books added and it’s a great experience for me these days in COVID. I feel like I am in a huge library 😊 there is also the leaderboard where we can see how many minutes everyone has read and I just adore ReadingIQ
Parents : My dad and my mom loved this

My daughter loves it. She doesn't like to get off her iPad so this is perfect. We saw an ad on TV so we got it. I'm so proud of her talking about the books she read. And I already purchased it and it's worth it. It is better than any learning app. Suggestions: there should be quiz after reading a book. There should be ratings for each book. There could be videos related to the book. That's it! Have a great day! 👍🏻❤️

Hello! I love reading I.Q, but there's one problem. Sometimes, when I tap a new book or a book I want to read again from the first page, ReadingIQ won't let me go to the next page. But this glitch mostly happens when I want to read the book again. Please help!

P.S: This only happens with some books & also, I love your app Adventure Academy! Keep up the good work! 👍

The choice of books, the text to speech and highlighting, plus the pause feature is great. I highly recommend this program for parents and those who work with children with reading delays. However, some of the adults reading the books use that very annoying, high pitched, child-like voice. Why on earth is that necessary? Also, I wish there would be a way to slow down the reading speed just a bit.

by Tigermelonmomma

You can’t even open a book and then take it on a car ride without the loss of pages. (You can’t finish reading the story.). This doesn’t really work for us. Otherwise, love the concept.

I love that it has a lot of books but I don’t like they’re small books. I’d like some bigger books! And I hate paying so that’s why I use it for one month then stop using it and make a new account. That’s the best option!! Read this review

I have trouble getting to the library so this is absolutely the best app for a kid who loves to read! Instead of watching videos on the way to/from school, she reads books on ReadingIQ! Thanks so much! I definitely recommend this!
