Epic! 'Netflix for children's books' app finally updated with universal support for iPhone

October 28, 2014

Oyster, Scribd, and Kindle Unlimited have all been described as “Netflix for books.” But if “Netflix for children’s books” is what you’re looking for, especially for your kids, then look no further than Epic, which has just received its universal update.

Launched late last January for iPad, Epic has been updated with universal support for iPhone and iPod touch. This means that you and your young ones can now enjoy Epic’s library of children’s books on your smaller iOS devices as well as on your larger ones.

Note, though, that Epic hasn’t been optimized yet for the larger smaller iOS devices, i.e., the iPhone 6 and the iPhone 6 Plus.

Epic’s library offers access to various titles for kids aged 12 and below, including picture books, chapter books, comic books, graphics novels, nonfiction titles, and junior novels.

Epic has the following key features:

  • Thousands of great titles with hundreds more added weekly
  • Audio enabled “read-to-me” books
  • Books from major publishers including HarperCollins, National Geographic and more
  • Online and offline reading (take Epic! in a car, on a plane, or camping)
  • Multiple profiles = a personalized reading experience for every kid in the family
  • A detailed reading log to track reading progress
  • Unlock fun rewards, achievement badges and cool customization features by reading

Compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad running iOS 6.0 or later, the new universal version of Epic is available now on the App Store for free.

Epic is free to try for one month. After the free trial period, unlimited access to Epic’s library is available for $4.99 per month.
