1. This app wouldn't let me even get in to the reading part. It keeps saying "try for free!" and when I would click on it,it would say try this or something else 2. If your even reading this, I recommend NOT installing Epic. its more not Epic than it name.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts about the subscription. Please note that Epic is free for educators only. For family use, we offer monthly and annual plans that provide access to our library, including a free trial—so you can cancel during the trial if it’s not a fit.

What a great way to share the love of reading! There are so many books here and we won't possibly read them all. I love the variety and suggestions. And most importantly, I love reading some of the nostalgic books from my youth! The parent dashboard is great for keeping track of what was done. There is also the timer for kids to keep track of how long.

I use this app to listen my favorite audiobooks at school, but when I download and try to sign up, it doesn't work! It just says "Oops didn't work! Please try again.", and I KNOW my network isn't the issue.
