If I could rate zero, I would.
ReadKidz took my money, their platform didn’t work, and they refused to refund.
I purchased a ReadKidz subscription on December 13, 2025. Since then, their platform has repeatedly failed to function on my end:
Character generation runs, then the screen goes blank.
Images/content don’t display
“Explore” doesn’t load other creators.
Credits were deducted anyway until my balance hit zero.
I tried multiple browsers (Chrome, Internet Explorer) and followed their troubleshooting steps. No fix.
I contacted ReadKidz support more than 20 times (yes, twenty emails). Their responses were a loop of:
“Send screenshots… send your book link… confirm your ISP… clear cache… try another browser…”
Then it escalated to this: they asked me to download Wireshark and perform a packet capture (network data capture), save a .pcapng file, and send it to them so their engineers could troubleshoot why images weren’t displaying.
That is not a normal expectation for a paying customer—especially when the issue appears to be a known problem with certain providers like Spectrum/Xfinity, which they themselves cited.
After all of this, I requested a cancellation and refund because the service still does not work. Their response on January 4, 2026:
They refused to refund and pointed to a policy saying refunds only apply within 24 hours and only if no credits were used—even though credits were deducted while the platform wasn’t functioning.
Let me be clear:
I am not paying for a subscription that doesn’t work, and I’m not doing advanced technical diagnostics to prove a product failure that your team already knows about.
ReadKidz: cancel my subscription and issue my refund.
