User Reviews

IR Books is praised for its engaging, game-changing concept and strong educational value that families can access via public libraries. Reviews repeatedly mention kids loving the experience and learning benefits. However, several users report reliability problems: persistent glitches and back-end messages that lock them out of content; VR/stereo vision issues on certain devices (notably iPhone 13) limiting usability; and download/scan problems that prevent books from loading or scanning QR codes. Overall, the idea and library access are highly valued, but substantial cross-device stability fixes are needed.
Pros
  • Kids love the books and remain highly engaged.
  • Strong educational value and learning potential for science and technology.
  • Accessible via public libraries, with books and goggles available.
  • Overall game-changing concept that families find exciting.
Cons
  • Frequent glitches and back-end messages that prevent access to books.
  • VR/stereo vision issues on certain devices (notably iPhone 13) with reduced usability.
  • Download and scanning failures, including books failing to download and prolonged download prompts.
  • QR code scanner occasionally not working on some devices.

My kids were so excited to discover this book series. We were able to do two books before the app glitched. Now when I log in, I only get the coding messages but cannot access any of the books.

Worked ok at first, very blurry for mine and my kids’ eyes even with the special goggles. Now every time I open the app it shows all of this back end coding responses. Repeated messages that say “getting repeated”, “camera permit granted”, “found cache” and dozens of others. Just doesn’t work. Won’t be doing this again as it acts like it’s hacked.
