Dear Reader

I loved the game. Just add a dictionary

I really liked the idea, but after finishing the first volume of Pride and Prejudice I booted the game again and it seems all my progress was lost :(

For those who love books, or those who just love great stories, or a fill in the blanks game, THIS game is great! It has a rewarding-style, it is challenging and makes you think very critically which words fits better in each case. The books available so far are very nice, neither of them I had read before, and I’m loving it! Another great point is that the game is simple, straight to the point, the sounds are great too and the flow in which the game happens make me want to play even more! It’s not often that I write a large review like this, but I think this game deserves! Great job Local no. 12 and Apple in bringing this game to us. Thank you 🙌🏼

This is just a Fill in the blanks app with public domain texts.

I picked this up because I like word games and thought it could be cool - now I can’t put it down because I’m reading again. I have ADHD, so it is prohibitively hard for to read. I haven’t read a book in years. I’ve listened to audiobooks, but mostly easy to read ones. I wanted to have read Dracula, and despite the story being fantastic, even listening to the audiobook was a slog that I had to force my way through. When I play through a book on this app, the puzzles increase the level of engagement I have with the book. I have to actively engage with each word. Focus is no longer an issue. In fact, focus has become so much of a non issue that difficult linguistic patterns in earlier books is more intuitive and intelligible than they would otherwise be. I went through college as an English major, focusing on poetry as much as I could, and reading verse through these puzzles makes it easier for me to appreciate the meter, rhyme scheme, word choices, AND understand what’s going on all at the same time. The experience is a revelation. I cannot overstate how much more accessible reading is to me now than before I downloaded this. That said, the books in the app are heavily abridged. The purpose of this, it seems, is to make the game more palatable for people who are using the app as a game, but the unintended consequence is that it limits the app’s effectiveness as an accessibility tool. My greatest hope for this app is that they will realize how revolutionary this app is when used as an accessibility tool instead of as a game and choose to include more unabridged books. I tried to read Frankenstein once, and despite loving it, I couldn’t get more than halfway through - I’d love to read it with this app! Perhaps as more books are added, we will start to see books that are less heavily abridged, and perhaps even an entire novel length book. Fingers crossed!

I teach second grade and when we have our English language arts testing one of the tests that they score very low on is where they have to pick one of three words for various sentences and a story. I think this would be great practice and perhaps could be used in schools.

I love this game. It is 100% amazing. I would recommend this to anyone who loves to read, likes reading poetry, and likes to solve thrilling challenges like: finding spelling errors, missing words, and or figuring out Shakespeare’s wonderful, hard, and old English writing. And I hope that they keep adding new, and wonderful books to the list. 😁✌️😉 To alllllll the BIBLIOPHILES out there, you’ll love this game

Wasn’t sure how I felt when I first started, but it wasn’t long before I became hooked. And now I’m reading some of the full versions of books I’ve started in the game. This is a great way to gently introduce yourself to lots of books that you probably wouldn’t have considered reading otherwise.

Dear the person who made dear reader, it is outstanding trading to fit stuff in and grammar
