The United Through Reading App keeps military families reading together, no matter the distance. Stay connected at storytime by video recording yourself reading a storybook aloud to the special kids in your life even when military duty, deployment, training, drill weekends, or long work days keep you away. The UTR App is free, secure, and available to active duty service members, veterans, and their families who register through Troop ID from ID.me.
Since 1989, United Through Reading has provided service members with the opportunity to share the gift of reading together even when separated by military duty at more than 200 recording locations around the world.
With the United Through Reading App, you can:
● Includes built in viewer, festive frames, and enhanced user tools.
● NOW WITH EBOOKS! Choose from our library of ebooks and record video storytime right now!
● Record, save, and upload your video recordings by registering with Troop ID from ID.me.
● Record your video offline and upload when on wifi.
The NEW United Through Reading APP allows YOUR FAMILY:
- To watch the video on demand online or download for offline viewing.
- To request a FREE copy of the book read by the service member after recording via the email notification or on our website (https://bit.ly/UTRbooks) thanks to Dollar General Literacy Foundation.
It feels like this app was a great idea but then the developers forgot about it. There is only a very small selection of ebooks and I’m currently not in a location where i can buy physical children’s books. Creating a story video is very easy and uploading it is straightforward! however, as the video plays out, the pages don’t turn on their own. They should be turning as the reader turns the pages! I love the idea of the app and would love for it to be another tool my family can use during deployments! But the limited selection, small editing capability, and very simple story playback makes this app kind of disappointing. One could accomplish 80% of what this app does by screen recording oneself reading a kids book and sending it direct.
Stories to go!

Great app! It is easy to download and easy to use. It’s great because you can record any time you want and it’s free! Don’t forget to request your free book when you’re done recording. UTR is truly one of the best military non-profits around. Thank you, UTR, for a great product!
Great app

My kids and spouse love this app
Not download

The E books won’t always download and when they do, the pages are wonky in that they either don’t have the pictures, you can’t turn them, or they don’t have the words. This is super frustrating. Not to mention, not many ebooks to read from.
