GBI was getting charged almost $85 for a… I was getting charged almost $85 for a subscription I didn't even know I had. I have no idea how long I've been paying for this or how to even log in. I just happened to notice it was taken out of my account. I contacted Epic about this situation and haven't heard back, I'll update if I do. Update- I contacted Epic and they did get back to me within 24 hours. While they did refund my money for this month and cancel my subscription, I have apparently been paying for this since May of 2022. I know I wouldn't have signed up for something that was $85 a month when my child NEVER uses this so it's likely that it was free for 3 months or whatever and then it started charging. I wasn't receiving any transaction emails, nothing. I'll take blame for not canceling a subscription I didn't know I had (or must have forgotten about) and for not checking my CC transactions better, but they very discreetly steal money from you.

GBI got this service for the offline book… I got this service for the offline book reading during a trip. It was problematic and constantly was logging me out and since I didn't have internet service, I couldn't log back in to have access to books. When we were able to listen to books, the longer chapter books didn't save where you were at in the book, and it restared at the beginning every time the app was opened. My kids love Epic, but if you want this to use this service offline, it's not reliable.

GBBrady's books What an amazing experience for children. I was Leary about spending this kind of money, but it is well worth it. Thank you Epic for giving my Grandson, Brady, this great opportunity. I would most definitely recommend this website. You'll be happy that you did. Love the awards the children receive. Nice incentive. Thanks again.

GBMonumental Reading Experience My daughter is now 11 years old and was introduced to EPIC the reading program two years ago in her elementary school. She is profoundly deaf with a CI that is and experimental prototype. Using the EPIC Read-To-Me Books she is able to follow along with the reader and has learned to listen to sounds/words and has learned to "hear" so much better. In fact as I am writing this review I am glancing over at her while she is signing a Read-to-Me Book that is being read out loud. I CANNOT express just how thrilled I truly am at the progress my daughter has made by using this one single program. I would strongly encourage every parent to give it a try.

GBNot worth it Not worth it. No challenging content for kids trying to grow their reading skills. Limited library overall. Save your money, go to your local library and give your kids the life long value of discovering actual books, not just regurgitated branded lowest common denominator content. Also, their customer support turnaround times are terrible and their answers not helpful.
