This is a free app.
Its for students in grades 3-12.

The review site that I chose is a credible source because it comes from educational pad and most of the reviews come from teachers.
Readworks would be hands down the best for me because you can modify it based on lexile levels and it pretty much works on any standard because it comes with tons of articles based on the grade level.

Hey Lakessiah! I have used Readworks in the past and I love it. I like that the website allows you to assign passages digitally or print them, but I did not even realize there was an app. I will have to check that out. I teach math and science, so I could definitely find a way to use it for my science standards. It is also super easy to differentiate based on lexile and grade level. I have not heard of the other apps, but I will check them out!
