The reason I wouldn't say I like Reding Plus is that it doesn't get any faster its slower than the speed of smell it just sucks.

I was a happy child once until covid struck. Now, it wasnt covid itself. It was the introduction of reading plus. My school was forever changed. Hat first it was 8 inchest now its -8 inches i did 29.999 minuted of reading plus then my english teacher nuderd me, I found my first computer hanging from a tree with a not on it saying i just couldnt take it anymore. In fact we have seen a increase in suicides after reading plus. I haven't seen john in a while. Now hitler is the principle of my school and osama bin laden it the assistant princible. Im just waiting for the school to explode.`

Horrible!
October 2, 2023

Reading Plus thought they would be so funny, doxxing me and taking my location. It's DESPICABLE. I haven't seen this bad of a site in my 2 years of living. Horrendous, and sometimes the vocabulary practice doesn't even have the proper definition, it's some definition nobody's ever heard of! AND IT CALLED ME OBESE! BOYCOTT READING PLUS. I am TIRED of this, I work tirelessly to get 8 lessons done and IT'S STILL NOT GOOD ENOUGH YOUR TIME WILL COME READING PLUS... I HOPE THE NEXT PRESIDENT SHUTS DOWN UR STUPID APP AND MAKES YOU PAY EVERYBODY BACK THEIR MONEY, PLUS TAX, PLUS INTEREST (interest applies to the already added tax)

Absolutely useless
September 29, 2023

My school uses Reading Plus for their students. And if I'm being brutally honest, it's horrible. The book selection that they have is terrible; all of them being either brain numbingly boring, or so painstakingly hard to read that I end up reading with my eyes instead of actually processing the words. The questions they have at the end are fine. They remind me a little of Accelerated Reader and the quizzes they have at the end of each book you read, except Reading Plus has it 10x worse.

Even as an avid reader myself, reading books on Reading Plus has made my reading burnout more worse than if I were to just read a large amount of books by myself.

If you actually enjoy this app you are on a road to depression or you are blatantly a nerd, wait no just a f***ing sack of **** that no one loves. It is soooo bad and so poorly made, this is the reason 911 happened, 2.8 trillion dollars lost, I don't think so, reading plus becoming public was the reason. It should have never been released, hegarty maths is better anyway

I once was a young boy. A young boy that loved reading like it was his own uncle. But that all changed on the 20th of September, 2021. The day I was introduced to Reading plus. I was eager at first as I was still completely oblivious to the tyrannical software I would be forced to use every single day until I suffered from a brain hemorrhage( I was slowly going to reach the end. The Diana way.) My teacher scolds me every time I get less than 110.9478 percent on my average end of book score. One time, I forgot to do 2 books extra and the software hacked the Russians defence force data base and launched 50 Kh-101 missiles towards a random village in Ukraine. Then, when Me and my friends collectively forgot to read 6 extra books(each.) Reading Plus instructed 20 Ukrainian tanks to fire depleted uranium shells at an army and children's hospital. Furthermore, When over 92.******* students forget to do 5 books and 90.1 vocab's. Reading Plus and its secret police enjoy dropping an explosive christmas present on random settlements in Mali (RIM-66 Standard standard missiles.) In conclusion, Reading plus causes complete brain death In students, Violates 3 of the 4 main aspects of the Geneva convention and to top it all off, It gives teachers power. Power nobody should be permitted to have. #TRUMP2024

ABSOLUTELY HORRID.
September 14, 2023

DO NOT EVER GET THIS THING! It is just simply HORRID and it has caused multiples near-deaths as you can see from the other reviews. It should not be allowed in schools, it is a very poorly designed website and it hardly even does the one thing it was meant to do.I does NOT encourage reading at all.

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.

Could use work
August 19, 2023

I've been using this app for school for 2 years now and I still hate it. I hate the seereaders how do they expect you to read a whole passage by only seeing 4 words at a time, not being able to go back and reread what you read sometimes, and you have to answer 10 questions and brings your score down when you look back into the passage. You cant be stopped to do that on paper. Why can't they just let you read the whole freaking text without blurring 97%. That's how you fail it.

Reading plus is an app we use in my school and its just simply terrible. You are made to read a story that that doesn't even make any sense at all but you are ALSO expected to answer 10 questions at the end! I really wish that I could give this app 0 stars. Sometimes when I'm trying to press on the right answer if doesn't let me press it to confirm my answer which can be really annoying! Definitely would NOT recommend this app to anyone.

This doo doo arse piece of sh1t made osama bin lardin get mad and crash planes into the world trade center. This website made hitler mad and then poopidy scoopidy 6 million jews died. I think suiasidadle thoughts and listen to jucie world because this sh1tty app exists. My english teacher hates it so much that he lost all his hair, c0ck and balls too, infact he tecknekly is a girl now that his balls are gone. Kim john uno is the greatest guy in the world because he banned internet in his country so no one would have to witness this doo doo poopidy doopidy sh1tty arse app.

Waste of time
June 13, 2023

Reading plus is the biggest waste of time to exist. As a student who goes to a school that requires using reading plus, its just not worth it. For the see readers, you get 3 questions wrong and you score decreases dramatically. You need 80 percent to pass the see reader, anything lower and it doesn't count as a completed task. In all honesty, you would learn more from reading physical copies of books or reading something of your choice online. You get the whole week to complete all the tasks and it's supposed to help, but in reality it just more workload for students or others. Absolutely WOULD NOT recommend for anyone, it's a real pain in the $#*!, from experience. Would give no star rating.
