## Review summary

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.
