In July 2017, Renaissance will remove the Accelerated Reader app from the App Store and retire this offering. We have optimized the web browser version to provide the best reading practice experience.

We recommend that teachers and students access Accelerated Reader in the web browser on their tablet or any device larger than 7”. On the web, users will be able to see the latest features and enhancements.

Pros and cons of Accelerated Reader™ app for iPhone and iPad

Accelerated Reader™ app good for

I love being able to check the progress of my own children. I would like to be able to use my teacher log-in with the app to monitor my students progress. Please add teacher functionality!!!
The urls to get to your schools specific pages are so long and cumbersome. To just open up the ap is amazing, especially for younger kids. We have loved the ap. Thank you!

Some bad moments

So I tried to use the "just trying out" to learn about this app more, but every single book I typed in didnt work!!! This is a major bug...
Would be a lot better if teachers could use it instead of being tied to the online website.
As an app developer, not having a saved login is just bad design. At least cache the username, save the user some steps. Security is needed, sure, but this takes usability to a very low level.
Great app, but the bookshelf wont load. It says "error loading / tap to retry" but nothing. I tried deleting the app & reinstalling but that didnt work. When I clicked on "app support" it says "we cant find the page youre looking for". Any suggestions???
I really would like to know! I have typed in the web address, I mean that is what it at least told me to do! Then, it says type in the RPID! The suggestion box told that it would on the home screen. Guess what I found... NOTHING! Grrrr!!! I had Renaissance on the computers along time ago and it gave me no problems! That is why Im so frustrated about this. Bc reniassance place was so great on the computer I had NO problems with it!
The RPID is the funky code at the bottom of the AR page, at least it was at my school but I always forgot to write it down before the year ended so I didnt have a use for it then but it works anyways
