ReadingIQ is an award-winning digital reading platform for children. It offers a vast collection of books across all genres and reading levels, including picture books, chapter books, and graphic novels. Parents can track their child's progress, and the 'Read to Me' feature helps early readers build confidence and vocabulary with professionally narrated stories.

Our Expert Score

94/100

ReadingIQ is arguably the gold standard for digital children's libraries. It manages to cram over 7,000 high-quality titles into a single, easy-to-navigate interface that feels safe and encouraging for young readers. What I find most impressive is the curation; you aren't just getting generic filler content, but legitimate hits from Disney, Marvel, and National Geographic. This brand recognition helps keep kids engaged when they might otherwise lose interest in 'educational' apps.

The 'Read to Me' feature is a lifesaver for parents of toddlers, providing professional narration that helps with phonics and word recognition. For older children, the Lexile level matching ensures that they are always reading books that are 'just right'—challenging enough to grow but not so hard that they get frustrated. The progress tracking is robust, allowing parents to see exactly how many minutes their child is spending on each genre, making it an essential tool for any household prioritizing literacy.

No books? (Revised)

After contacting again the readingiq tech team were able to fix the problem and now we have access to all books For about 6 months we haven’t been able to access any books on the app except the ones he read before. I paid for the app and everything but haven’t been able to utilize it. I sent in several messages about this and the replies are always they are working on it? It’s very frustrating because it’s been a complete waste of my money

Don’t Buy

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 the app 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 the app 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.

Don’t buy for grades 4+

Update: after a few iterations, Customer service refunded my annual subscription and provided complementary access to the company’s other 2 apps. So while this app is not useful for grades 4+, their customer service team made it right. I would encourage the company to change their marketing for Reading IQ App is a complete ripoff for grades 4 and above - maybe 15 books in total for all of grades 4-6. Customer service acknowledges books for these levels are limited and actually suggested selecting the lower levels. Right - I have a 5th grader and you want me to give them 2nd grade books. The worst part is you can’t see the selections available until *after* you pay!!!! Terrible product with false advertising!!!

Great except for one thing

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.

Be careful

I got this app 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 the app several times, tried different devices and browsers. Very disappointing!

Can’t recognize my email
Thu Feb 20 2020 charvey33

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?

Can't read the books 😔😔😔
Wed Sep 02 2020 MikoKitty1479

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, this app 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! 👍

One of my fav's

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! 👍🏻❤️
