Reviews for BookTop- Reading & Booktok

This app offers a keep reading for free award for 5 star reviews so be aware that things aren't as they seem. It appears to be free with adds but the adds won't play and there is no other option to keep reading making it unreadable. I deleted the app after a few minutes. Not wort my time when adds don't play on wifi or 5g and you can't even pay for access. The 5 star rating keep reading free award was worthless. You cannot actually use it to keep reading even with more points. Adds must play.

So far I've missed two days of check-in points because the ad won't load. Why can't I claim my daily check-in rewards to continue reading? I'm getting a message saying it's something wrong with my Internet connection yet I don't have an issue on any other app that I use. So far I can read up to the seventh chapter and no ads will load so I can go any further. If this is fixed then I can give a better rating.

I'm having issues even getting in the app. It tells me "oops we are caught up in another web story." And gives me the option to unravel, but I've clicked on it so many times and it just keeps repeating. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and nothing, it doesn't tell me that it needs an update. I really wanna read the stories you guys have.

I am deleting this app because of the unfinished stories. I'm not going to dedicate days to a book, only to have it say that it has not been updated! There is no warning that the book is unfinished or when another installment will be loaded. The books shouldn't be offered until they're complete. I'm willing to put up with awful grammar and spelling and childish, unlikable main characters, but it has to be compIete. I didn't have trouble with the ads. Other apps like this have a lot more.

Along with several other people, I, too, enjoy the app except for the spelling errors, forgetting characters names midstream, and ending chapters mid sentence. My other problem is no bookmark. Sometimes I can't remember the name of the book so I spend alot of time trying to find it EDIT: I was really enjoying reading The Alpha King's Breeder, but now it's disappeared from the app completely. It's not even on the list anymore. I was at the part on Teal Isle. Please help me.

This app could only be FREE. The plot started off interesting enough. Yet there were glaring spelling errors so indeciphorable that I just had to ignore the mistakes and try to make sense of the rest of the text. Then the heroine went from clever and talented to incredibly stupid. And the storyline went to a completely different, ridiculous direction. They give you no clue to how long the novel is, so I finally had to abandon the book before I lost valuable brain cells. I'm deleting the app.

This app sucks! There are way too many ads and not the least bit user-friendly. Every time I'm FORCED to watch yet another ad, it either scrolls back a page or tries to skip to the next chapter (of course, it will only open after viewing what you ask???? Yep, another ad. I know, SHOCKER!!! If I ever manage to read the book I started, I will delete the app. Even with claims of being 100% free, in truth, it is only free if you PAY for it to be ad free!

I didn't mind the ads. I love the free reading. My big problem is all the grammatical errors, and if that's not bad enough, I've read 2 different books now where they mess up the names. Leaves you totally confused. Another book I was just reading changed the name of the main character. Like they forgot it while writing the book. Some of these books might be really good if the writers could fix these problems.

I love to read, and I don't even mind the ads. My issue mostly is with missing pages and constant network issues when trying to watch ads so that I could continue reading. I ended up subscribing just so I could continue reading. A lot of the chapters in the book I'm reading will end chapters in the middle of a sentence , (my first on the app, and a two book bundle) leaving me wondering what more is missing from the story. I don't know if this is an issue with the app itself, or the formatting.

If you're going to translate stories from German to English, please make sure the genders referred to are correct. Very distracting! Also, story continuity is important. I just finished an "Editor's Choice" story and had second hand embarrassment for the editors. The story was interesting but had so many errors and then just jumped from the heroine getting ready to go shopping with friends to some wildly inaccurate cobbled together mess of an epilog.

if you are going to use AI to write a story, at least go back and edit it. characters switching names, plot points changing, grammatical an spelling errors all make it difficult to enjoy a story. As soon as i'm done reading this first novel, I'm uninstalling this app. If I had to pay by the chapter, I would have stopped reading 1/3 of the way through.

Love that it is truly free (that part deserves 5 stars). The first book had some minor editing issues, but the second one was too hard to read. Genders were switched, past tenses were used inappropriately, there were spelling errors, etc. I look forward to trying different stories to see if they are readable because I really liked the first story.

I have read my 1st book. Way to many errors in book. I gather no one proof reads or even runs thru a standard program for gramner and spelling checks. Characters name are mixed up often and even gotten completely wrong. I often read late at night. Cannot do it with this app, because you have to watch an ad to continue to next chapter. If no ads are available, you cannot continue. Finally made it to the end of the book. Evidently, the person who wrote the book, ran out of ideas. Lousy ending!

I love the fluidity of this site! No constant intrusive ads! Just very pleasant reading. After having read more books, some authors definitely need a proofreader!!! This the seventh story that I am having trouble reading. There are just so many errors in grammar, pronouns, spelling, word choices, and more!🙄Tired of trying to read the next chapter, and getting sent to the one I just read! Getting glitches by the day! I used to enjoy booktok, now it's a nuisance!😡😡😡

Thought I might enjoy a story or two. But as soon as I finished chapter 2 this add came up. Wanted me to pay $10 a month to go add free. I tried everything I could think of to get rid of this add to no avail!! The stories in this app are not free. Don't waste your time. The story I was reading wasn't written well enough to warrant the price of $9.99 per month!!!

I really like this app.. It is free with the exception of you having to watch ads which are not that long. Though the app is also not without its glitches sometimes I have to close it and reopen it because the ad won't start or you have to watch more than two ads which didn't happen in the beginning. Other than that so far I will give 5 stars I just finished my first book and it was an amazing read.

So far, so good. I'm enjoying the first story I'm reading. I really appreciate that I can open and read the next chapter just by watching one ad/video, unlike some of the other reading apps. There's no limit to how many chapters you can read each day as long as you're willing to watch those ads. Would definitely recommend this reading app over most of the others out there.

I can handle the spelling errors and other errors caused by unedited AI posts. It is the ads that will not let you X-out when complete, and the pages that won't let you go to the next page, but will flip back to your original page that are annoying. I am having to close the app and restart it far too often to make it enjoyable.

The stories are nice, however the last chapter is not letting me go forward. Chapter 13 - I have watched 6 ads "Videos" in their entirety and still you want more. This one and most of the new ones just want you to watch ads or pay to remove them. I have tried several and they all wanted me to watch lots of ads, ads are ok but hijacking my reading to keep me watching ad after ad is outrageous. If you cannot afford Kendal then look for Goodreads or another like it.

The app worked okay through the first 1 & 1/2 stories, except that it keeps freezing up and needing to be restarted. Frustrating. The 1st story was very inconsistent and kept changing more than can be accounted for by the changing POVs. The 2nd story was a lot better until I reached a point that claimed I needed to update. Following the update button took me where I don't want to go. It looked like a fake site trying to access my Facebook. So. 2 stars may be either too many or overreacting.
