The passages they put on here are uninteresting and boring as fuсk. G-Rate does not solve inefficient reading. The thing is, they already have a solution to this called I-Rate. G-Rate sucks and is just trying to control my reading rate when I believe in being able to read as fast as you want. Support mode is also the worst. Completing the 10 combos you have to complete in order to get out of a level feels shіtty enough, but what if you needed to complete an extra one? They really thought of all the possible ways to create hell on earth. Pretty please get rid of these. The 80% requirement is shіt as well. One last thing. It's GAY?

I hate reading plus
September 23, 2025

When i was try to set up my reading plus it said i was reading fast but i was reading normally. It is so stupid because i have to wait until tommorow to go back and it has been happening a lot. I think they should remove the feature because i dont like it and nobody does

Imagine shoving poop in your mouth, pooping it out again, and then using it as face cream. Reading plus is like that exept a shmillion times worse. The stories are meant for five year olds, the lessons take to long, and the questions make zero sense. My teacher makes me read books on here and i hate it. I would give i zero stars if the minimum wasnt one. I would rather be in a coma than use this app. In fact, i would rather tear out my eyes and relace them with uranium than use this app. There are about 2 stories, and neither of them are even a bit interesting. It makes you read in this stupid bubble that always either goes too fast to read or too slow to read. All of the nonfiction stories are boring, and all of the fiction ones try to teach you some stupid lesson. To make thing worse, each lesson takes an hour to complete, and my teacher makes me do like 5 every week. Do not buy this or you will suffer.

I am being specific as to what glitches happen, not only that but reading plus expects YOU to get 80% or higher (a lot harder then you think) The stories are just awful and some questions even lie. Some on questions on vocab just make no sense, NO ONE likes this experience, despite America banning reading plus they bring it here, THIS IS THE REASON BOOK NERDS GET MAD, there's nothing good about it and it's going to be apart of our future generation, THIS LOWERS GRADES, this is why I'm depressed, no wonder it's hated so much, only a few DUMB BOTS like it.

Ok so to be honest why is the stories kinda like...sexist sounding.? Like I saw a story on the website I do in school titled: "No Woman Allowed", Why name it that though.? Like out of all names it had to be that? And in a story my friend read a part in the story, I cant remember what it exactly said, but I do remember one thing, it basically said "Back then kids got into various schools. (Mostly boys)" Like is that really necessary though?.like no wonder it's rated one star, I hate it so much. I HATE IT RAHH

THIS APP IS LITERALLY THE WORST APP EVER! IT IS SO LAGGY IF YOU CLICK TO MUCH IT WILL SAY YOU GOT THE QUESTION WRONG! IT GIVES YOU A 78% FOR EVERYTHING! THIS APP SAYS CUSS WORDS IN STORIES, TEACHES YOU RELIGIOUS THINGS WHICH SCHOOLS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO TEACH YOU, AND DOESN'T EVEN KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INFORMATIONAL TEXTS OR FICTION TEXTS! NOT TO MENTION THE RESETING STORIES AFTER YOU READ THEM 2 MILLION TIMES!

Torture
February 26, 2025

This is torture because the students at my school never have freedom to read the type of books they like to read. The program is terribly made because it is to sloo for kids to read.

I am a parent whose child is required to use this trash program every week. It teaches nothing and causes her reading skills to decrease. The only thing I can think is that maybe the school district is getting some kind of kick back from the publishers to force kids to use this ridiculous program. My daughter stopped using it because she reads just fine and started getting poor grades. Do you know how terrible I feel as a mother to force my child to use a program that is making her reading worse just so she can keep up a grade? If you're an administrator considering getting this program for your school, keep going. All this does is stress kids out and create busy work. I've never seen a program with less usefulness to it.

Horrific
January 30, 2025

I'm a seventh grader who has finished the SeeReader and ReadAround program twice and I spent the free time I had in class figuring out how many levels until I could beat it when I still did them. This site actually ruined my love for reading, I hate it so much, and I first used it in 2023. Please don't use this program, because it feels unnecessary, and it doesn't teach us students anything.

Reading Plus is very bad for people who can read as all the reading is boring and you must do 20 of those reading questions correctly as in get 80% or more to pass while that may seem easy it is hard as if you read too fast even you read in your own pace then it makes you redo the whole thing. From my experience it helps many kids who struggle to read actually get better at reading but if you know how to read then it doesn't help as any people in my class who didn't know how to read in 6th grade liked it and got better at reading while the kids who knew how to read hated it and never got better.
