User Reviews

Read and Learn is highly praised for its language-learning focus, broad language support, rich book library, and strong on-screen translation features with optional audio. Users appreciate the UI and reading experience, plus the ability to import PDFs/EPUBs. However, recurring bugs and instability, subscription-driven pronunciation features, and navigation friction when translating limit the experience. Content availability also varies by language, with some languages showing limited titles. Overall it’s a powerful learner’s tool hampered by reliability and access concerns.
Pros
  • Excellent for language learning with broad language support and on-page translations of words and phrases.
  • Huge library of books across languages, including many free titles.
  • Intuitive UI/UX and a strong, pleasant reading experience.
  • On-page lookup for words/phrases plus optional native pronunciation audio.
  • Supports importing PDFs/EPUBs to expand content beyond the built-in library.
Cons
  • Bugs and glitches degrade reliability, with frequent crashes and unstable syncing.
  • Pronunciation/dictionary features often require a subscription or don’t work reliably.
  • Translation/navigation UI can be cumbersome, with separate pages for translations and per-word taps.
  • Content availability varies by language, with some languages having limited titles.

I use it to read books I n the languages I’m partly or fully proficient. It’s a game changer in my appreciation of untranslated literature.

this app could be awesome. compared to lingq and readlang, this app allows you to import full pdfs and epub files, images and all. this is amazing, and for that i absolutely love it. but then, you’ve got the bugs. and boy, there are plenty of them. often times the connection to dropbox will stop and won’t return unless you restart the ipad. the only way to get them in with consistency is to export the file from dropbox right into the app — but that took me a lot of time to figure out. at one point i tried to import books through a link and it simply deleted all books i had imported. all of them!! also, it’s impossible to tell which books will import correctly. pdfs with perfect text (not pictures of pages, but real text) won’t work. epub files which should in theory work, lose all of their tables after being imported. so, it’s a gamble, and after you painstakingly test dozens of files, it will delete all of your library. will i stick to it? yes, because i can’t find anything better. but i honestly hate this app for all its potential and really bad, absolutely terrible execution.
