Overall good. It accepts incorrect words quite a bit if the first consonant and vowel are correct (ie sat vs sad, mat vs mad etc). They need to work on that.

Ello is user frinedly my 7 old son is able to log on and do his daily 20min on reading. I like the report it gives me after he completes his reading

So far we are loving Ello!! My son is really enjoying this app to help with his reading 🎉🤗 the only 2 things need to be fixed/updated is that it often can’t hear you no matter how loud you are when getting a word correct which is frustrating for the child. The second is when he gets a word wrong it more often then not it doesn’t catch it and just moves on which means you have to sit right next to then the whole time to correct the errors so they learn and so the app doesn’t just move on and you think you reading it correctly. But over all it’s a great experience and once those two things get updates/fixed it will be a 10/10🤗🎊

My daughter really enjoys the app, besides when her words are not heard correctly which is not too often. Thank you for creating something she enjoys.

The app is great except that it’s a bit glitchy.

I love the concept of this app. My daughter is doing better in reading however, the words that she struggles with the most is not registering g through the app. But it’s a wonderful app. I love it

We love the books, but sometimes I have noticed that even if my child says the wrong word, it counts it right. I also feel that when it’s a buddy read, the elephant reads way too fast for struggling reader.

Love Ello for my child BUT as a parent I’d like a section to actually go through and see things like issues they’re having, improvements, books read and things that could help them. Instead of getting emails every so often. Being able to view progress and things as such would be very helpful for me.

My children are really enjoying Ello. They are willing to spend more time per session working on their reading than with a paper book because of the novelty of using an iPad, and the fact that it utilizes voice recognition software makes it more useful than many reading apps. My only complaint is that I feel bombarded by emails from Ello.

My children are enjoying the app very much. They are more likely to work on reading for longer than if they have a paper book because using an iPad is a fun novelty for them. The voice recognition software is pretty good, but not perfect. My only complaint is that I receive too many emails from Ello.

My child age 9 loves the books. She's more independent in her reading and the prizes help motivate her to read more. The only small problem she's having is the app doesn't always understand her because of her speech differently.

Ello is the only reading app I’ve found that lets an emerging reader read out loud and provides feedback/assistance immediately and via subsequent email. Just struggling to keep my 6 year old grandson engaged and reading regularly without making it a requirement/task.

My child enjoys using Ello. Her favorite part is receiving help when needed at her fingertips. She also really enjoys the rewards. I’d love to have better tracking as a parent. For example- knowing how much time was committed to reading each day would be helpful.

The AI system listening to our kids is a game-changer. Really smart setup. Obviously there are some bugs (prompts a little repetitive or computer mis-hears a kid with speech issues etc). But lovely and our kids have been using it off and on for two years and love it (I can't speak to its 'results' since our kids are in a Spanish immersion school and therefore their English reading skills are lagging anyway, but Elli feels like a great support for that gap)

So far so good. I do wish there was like a parent portal, or ways for parents to track their kids progress, see how many errors they’re making, words they consistently struggle with etc. but overall it seems to be going good with both my 8 & 5 year old.

This program has been helping my daughter a great deal. She doesn’t love reading on Ello, but she is learning much more. It’s not a perfect program, the videos after she finishes books don’t play loud enough to hear and when she’s reading, she often reads words wrong and it doesn’t pick up on it, (so I still have to watch everything she reads), but it’s still a good program with good book options. Makes reading easier.

I’ve tried at least half a dozen other reading apps and this is the only one my 7 year old doesn’t get frustrated with and want to quit. It’s been great to see him read! My only question is when he mispronounces words or struggles with words we were told the app remembers and uses that info. I don’t see how tho? Was expecting words he struggles with to come up in books chosen for him. But other than that it’s a great app and we are both loving it. Thank you!

It’s really quite good. The AI doesn’t always get my child’s voice but it’s great overall. I do wish we could change what books he could read because the first few were like overloaded with cats and that is fine if you like cats but it got old
