Content is great. The app? Not so much… When you open the app via a notification for a story update, you have to constantly select, then re-select the chapter you need to even get it to load. Usually, you’re dealing with this about 3-5min on every entry into the app. It started in roughly Sep/Oct […]

Absolutely love this app, has amazing stories and anyone can write what they want..however there are so many glitches. Blank screen when I move onto another chapter, resets all of my reading progress or deletes books from my library, when you try to scroll and leave your finger on the screen it tells you to […]

The best app for books so far!!!! Counting my streaks too and so easy to use. The collection are so good too! But I don’t if it’s only on my device or it’s a thing on the app…I can’t comment on a paragraph even though the icon is showing to add a comment or there’s […]

L.O.V.E! During quarantine I used this app to read for pleasure for the first time in a long time. Well, something besides manga. My ONLY complaint is that many books are works in progress and unfinished, with no new chapters submitted for days, weeks, or months at a time. So I’m kind of reading 10 […]

First thing, thank you for no ads! I can read while listening to music and not get interrupted every other page! The selection of books is great! I haven’t found any major issues at all. Two tiny ones, like moving books to reading lists/ and it will close itself every once in a while. But […]

I’ve used this ap for 2 years. I did have it at five stars, but have now lowered it to 2! It is constantly freezing. To where it’s impossible to even write anything. If it’s not freezing it wigs out and all my writing has big gaps in between the paragraphs. I’m so frustrated with […]

I love that this app is completely free and has no premium option because I had Wattpad before this and they updated to premium a while ago, which irritated me when I found out. I do suggest, though, that there is an audio version where you can highlight a word or words and tap the […]

Reading is seamless and enjoyable, writing reviews and comments is easy, and you have a good chance of getting good feedback and reception. Plus, it’s not all fanfic or YA romance, and that’s wonderful. No ads too, yet everything is free to access. So maybe I’m in the minority, but Inkitt is my go-to app […]

Great app but can be better. love that it gives authors freedom and control over their writing. The reading experience can be better. It glitches often, won’t open books from some pages, the page count won’t appear sometimes, when a chapter comes out it loads the end of the chapter not the beginning (spoilers) and […]

Honestly, it’s a well-made app. If you’re looking to read/upload your own stories, it puts you out there and isn’t biased like other networks (helps if you put books in contests for views), as well as you get people reading your work a lot quicker compared to other apps (wattpad, etc.). And you can read […]

I found some good stories to read, but I can’t help but wonder how many I didn’t get to read because of publishing/saving issues. I had actually started my first story, great opening paragraph and a half, saved, went back to work on it the next day and it was gone. However, after looking at […]

Perfect for reading books by aspiring authors! There are so many genres to choose from and explore. No ads that are annoying! However, searching for a certain type of book is SUPER hard. Adding a hashtag search would be more efficient for readers. Also, please make it so it does not take me all the […]

I love the fact that it’s got organizational features rivaling those of my favorite novel-writing software. I especially love the fact it works on both PC and Android (which SOME apps refuse to do). However, my main aggrevation is two fold, and hard to ignore. First: When I’m in the app, for some odd reason, […]

The content on the app is amazing and free like it states. The problem I have is you can’t read a single chapter without the app auto refreshing and taking you back to the top of the page, taking you to a random chapter of the book, or the app just straight up stops working […]

I love this app, it reminds me of Webtoon, the way you can comment, like, and share the stories, but what makes it better is that you don’t have to pay for early release or things like that. This app makes it easy for new journalists or people who just like to write to publish […]

If I could rate it 0 stars, I would. If you sign up for a subscription, then later want to cancel, they make it impossible to do so. I tried on computer, different browsers, in this app, and on my phone on browsers. The menu where it should be, isn’t there. And customer service ignored […]

They just did a new update and I thought updates were supposed to fix problems not create more. It was fine before but now there are so many technical issues. It takes literally 10 minutes for each page to load. And when it does,there is so much lag I have to touch the sake button […]

There are minor issues with the app. There a little bugs like not being able to click the three dots on stories in my library. Other issues like when reading stories, if you make one comment inline, all inline comment spaces disappear (this doesn’t happen on web page, you can inline comment many times) The […]

5 stars, app is amazing & actually gives people what they want, books to read. as far as I have seen, most everything is free. I’m not stressing about “tokens” and unlocking chapters, and not paying an absurd amount of money to finish reading a story or just left hanging if you dont want to […]

the app freezes a lot for me. Whether the story is saved or not, when im scrolling through a book and reading it, it often “freezes” on me and very slooooooowly will it scroll down itself. i havent found a way to fix this. it does it randomly and takes forever to fix. I usually […]
