Reading plus isn't good.
February 4, 2024

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

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.

So this improved reading stuff really thinks you can give out history books with misinformation example 'After Franz Ferdinand was shot they declared war on Bosnia causing the start of WW1' Bosnia did not exist until 1996 the start of WW1 was in 1914. Also this is if you blink you have failed all the questions. And why does it take hours of work to read misinformational texts. The books there are no selections and overall I have not meant a single person who likes this. My guess is Teachers see the 'Real reviews' on readingplus's front page and go huh that's great our students need that. BUT BRO FUN FACT THIS PLATFORM IS THE LIVING EMBODIMENT OF SATAN

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.

If this doesn't stop I am going to dig a 15 ft hole into the world trace center and stick fifteen bulldogs inside. If I ever find the owner of Reading Plus I am going to jump him. PAKISTAN NUMBER ONE!

LITERALLY SUCKS TOURTURE
January 17, 2024

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.

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

ITS SO BAD. Literally i would read 100 irl books that actually don't suck so i don't have to do this for a whole week. I hope the owner of this awful website get covered in oil shot set on fire turned to ash gets set of fire again shot again set on fire again repeat that same cycle ************** times until there's and atom left split that atom and keep splitting it until it turns to into nothing. Also if i get arrested for this for a 100% true review that gives you a whole other reason to sue them. If a staff member sees this PS-kys before it is too late. Your welcome for the slight use of grammar this site did not teach me :) and yes please commit KYS before downloading this awful website.

This app is disappointing
November 16, 2023

Man, I totally hate Reading Plus, bro! It's the worst, you know? It didn't do squat to help me with my reading skills. Instead, it just made me despise reading even more. Like, seriously, what's the point, right? It's such a letdown when something that's supposed to help ends up making things worse. But hey, I won't let it bring me down. I'll find my own way to enjoy reading again, without the help of that lame program! I just can't do it especially with the test and all the lessons to do I have to do 6 a week! I mean and I can't even do it at home I mean what kind of app is this?! I hate reading so much because of this app and I have to do it at school too, I just wish that I enjoyed reading :/

Reading plus may seem good but it does not do good on telling how fast you should go and you can not customize to your liking so I do not recommend reading plus.

Reading plus is a rapist
October 26, 2023

First off to the creator of this sh** website i will go to ur house while ur asleep and drag u down ur stairs till u lose ur life and i will wrap you with ductape and rape and beat the crappity crap out of you and take u to hell with me. U mistake, i hate this website with a burning passion and i rage whenver someone mentions it. I hope the creator of this website gets gang banged by 15 men every single night becuase his wife left him for lebron jahamed this website is worse than my grandmothers alzheirmers and is worse than the 911 incident i honesty hate this website and it is a nightmare osama bin laden was depressed by how bad this website was before 911 hes looking up from hell and thinking about his crappy plane crash and how it didnt kill the creator of this website. Russia got so mad at reading plus they started bombing ukraine so it cause a huge problem yet the website still lives. Hitler decided to make ww2 bc of how reading plus influenced him and boris johnson and donald trump is probably reading plus' biggest inspiration (ruin peoples lives) (be crap influences) while reading books from this website i slowly started to realize my right hand get raised and random german words being recited behind me. When i read from reading plus i contract 37 unknown diseases and develop a stage 8.96 PTSD including extreme trauma. This has impacted my mental health completely and im concerned for my future mental health. Ive logged into 89 mental asylums because of this website. :)

Horrible.
October 10, 2023

I hate it, it makes me wanna never read again even though I love reading and it's something I'm ever so passionate about, but school and this website just really pushes me to my limits. The window is really horrible and irritates me a lot, it makes me read like two words per second when I read really fast and quick and that's how I like reading and that's how I enjoy it, it pisses me when on the fourth bit where you read on your own without the window that when I tap the screen after I'm Done reading which is really quick it stops me and makes me reread. I hate reading with it. The window distracts me from reading a lot, making the other words all blurry so I can't focus because it keeps moving. The questions don't make sense, because why would my score get lower all for reading the text again? That doesn't happen in real life, I don't lose a mark for rereading. I think the creators should really have a check on the reviews they are getting because in my opinion it's not good. Anyone who says they like it is joking or just a generally weird person. My school makes us compete against each other to be better at reading plus all because this one stupid student does 33 reads instead of the normal 5 my teachers set us. It's horrible, awful, irritating, annoying and bored the absolute heck out of me. I hate it, not one tiny minute little bit do I even like it. I would give it -10 stars or 0 but I can't, so I have to give it a one even though it's no where close to that.
