Data collection was using online questionnaires through Google Forms and interviews. Content analysis was used for analyzing the data. The result of this study indicated that all participants had progressive insight into the Reading Eggs Application in supporting teachers’ teaching-learning programs. According to certain data, teachers think that Reading Eggs cannot replace the main material in learning even though the contents of Reading Eggs are excellent.
