I hate reading plus it can die in a hole.
I mean like when I was a little kid I could js go play outside without a care in the world and my mom would go the front porch and call for me yelling, "TIMMY COME INSIDE FOR DINNERRR!" and then I would go. I didn't have to worry about the traumatizing app called reading plus, it's just stupid and ruins the dreams and future of little kids. I hope reading plus gets ate up by a cat pooped out ate up again then thrown up then put in a suitcase with a lock and chain, burned then toss the ashes down Niagara falls.

Also your mom's hotter than you :))

Ever since my school has started using this $#*!ty software i have had suicidal thoughts. Do not use this it will make you have suicidal thoughts and ruin your life also since this $#*!bag was introduced to my school i have been very stressed and in tears when i have to do it, also the stories (if even that) are unentertaining and bad. The names are $#*!ed up the pictures are $#*!ed up and why the $#*! should i answer questions that are, yet again, $#*!ed up. I am a 12 year old who should not have to go through this. A song that explains how i feel is "i deserve to bleed"

Tip for consumers:
PS: the design is also $#*!ed up ;)

I need to read 3 stories a week, and 180 points of vocab. The big problem is, since the rest of the class is less-than-average in vocab and reading speed, we all need to do it, including me who reads 950 WPM. The bigger problem is, it won't let you adjust my speed higher than 278 WPM, so less than 1/4 my usual speed. I also already know all of the vocab words, so that is simply mind-numbing. All in all, ReadingPlus is the trashiest "EduCAtiOnaL" products the world has ever seen. Oh, yeah, it's anywhere from $75 to $175 per year per student. Absolute scam.

Tip for consumers:
How mind-numbing the whole thing is.

This app is terrible for 1 it is boring and 2 it sucks to add context i had 2 power boosts that would up your score and i got a 72/ a yellow mark no big deal i could use a boost to up it to a 82 right no this excuse of a app didn't let me this is NOT worth your time. I also should mention how often the app crashes but that may be a issue with my internet but still it pisses me off TL:DR don't buy it read IRL or use another App.

Oh, ReadingPlus, you've turned vocabulary improvement into a comedy show – a tragic one at that! The vocab words zoom by faster than my hopes of actually learning something. It's like a game of "blink and you miss it," but I didn't sign up for a vocabulary version of Whac-A-Mole.

And then we have the guided window, attempting to guide me through the chaos. It's like having a GPS that insists on taking you through a maze instead of a straightforward route. Bravo, ReadingPlus, for turning education into a slapstick routine.

If laughter is the best medicine, then consider me cured, thanks to the unintentional comedy you've created. I'll be recommending ReadingPlus to anyone in need of a good laugh – just don't expect to improve your vocabulary in the process.

Literally so dull I do not want to read AI generated stories about gossip or dams flooding the reading test at the start was actually somewhat fun but the rest sucks.

This product is trash and boring and physically comparable to death strychnine. Whichever idiot made this can die. They can improve this by letting my tactical bomber into their office or prison or where ever they keep their prisoners

Tip for consumers:
anyone who likes this is an idiot teacher's pet and should kill themselves. Everyone who likes this has a crush on Hitler and thinks that the Nazis were the good guys

1. Students should be able to choose something else to read even when starting a new story

2. Remove read last segment instead just make it reread story from the beginning and read where you were last because sometimes I read the last segment and then I'm really far behind

Please take these suggestions into consideration it would make the platform way better than it is now thank you.

The stories are worse than poorly written 8th-grade essays, and the questions at the end are pointless and at times mind-numbing. This app is so poorly designed and I would like to meet the creator of this torture device to tell him that he has contributed to the problems of the American school system. The reading rates slow you down, the books are horrible, and it is overall the worst homework assignment of my week. ( yes we do it every week) If I could give it a 0-star review I would. Please, on behalf of school children everywhere, do not use this app.

I added a picture of Max Verstappen to cheer you up after reading that depressing review <3

Reading plus should be banned by the Geneva convention. Hitler didn't even use this app. It is so horrible and so boring i would rather stick my iPad up my arse. The teacher gave me holiday detention and removed my Christmas because i read a real book instead of reading plus's bullsh*t. The teacher then held me hostage along with 2 other kids my age like the Iranian hostage crisis. She was given a day off work.

The photo below is me when reading plus:

This program does not even help you with reading comprehension it just makes you want to throw your computer at the wall and burn it to the ground. Also studies have shown that reading plus doesn't even help you read faster.

As a student I use reading plus and let me tell you it's hard work. The readings are really not that interesting and some questions I just have to think more instead of just memorizing the readings such as meanings, some are easy, are hard

Reading Plus is the most $#*!ing horrible software I've ever used. It's made me want to kill myself by hanging myself while chewing cyanide pills flying into the Shard because the Twin Towers are already taken by the son of a $#*! Bin Laden. My advice is to kys before you realise the hell of $#*!ing reading plus. I hated doing it but now I'm six feet deep and happier than ever. To the owner of reading plus I will $#*!ing haunt you and drag you by the ankles down your stairs to hell because Satan himself has a bounty on you. Never. Use. Reading. Plus.

I think there needs to be a way to reset your score. There needs to be better things to read, such as, jiu-jistu, instead of kratae. That is the worst most useless thing ever. I wish i could rate this one fourth of a star. Very bad, might be the third to sixth worst thing in the univese.
