Love to read but need trusted advice? READy is a free app edited by experts, especially designed for young readers. A sort of large shelf on which there are only highly selected titles, sorted by topic and keywords.
Each book is told in a few words to let you understand if it is what you are looking for and want to read at that moment, but there are also insights into who wrote it, images, audio, video, parts of the text, and above all links to other similar stories including novels, graphic novels, films, essays, biographies.
You can simply browse the covers on the bulletin board and proceed by keywords, or, if you want, receive two recommendations once a week, one related to the searches you've done within the app, one that wants you to discover something new. And with the Augmented Reality function you can physically frame the covers in the library or bookshop and have them tell you what they are about.
No profiling (unless you want to receive personalized advice), advertising, chats, clubs and reading challenges… only excellent reading recommendations, already tested with thousands of young readers.
