Minimal ads, and the free push notifications are quite nice. Edit: The banner ad has been moved to the top of the UI, which makes it 100x times more intrusive in a god damn reading app where most of the time in bed you’re looking at the top of the page content to read anything. […]

3/5 good stories, easy to use, pretty good TTS, went premium (awesome), used for 5+ years. But Moderators struggle. I found a great text expander that also does auto calc (great for game lit). Use it in job. Love it. Become a affiliate. Start sharing it with favorite authors on RR. Think to self, “why […]
This is a perfect translation to an app that I’ve ever seen. It works functionally the exact same as their webpage. Often times new apps add extra ads or things like that and nothing like that has happened here. I notice the ads a little more but that is probably because my screen is smaller. […]
It’s not very intuitive. If I was a new reader who stumbled onto this app I would be turned off by how to get around. EX: having to click on the fiction tab to go to the book page, then you have to scroll to the very bottom to add it to a list. Everything […]
The app has its benifits, but I’d honestly stick to the site for now. The UI and the dictionary are great, I’d like to go in more detail, but alas, too few characters. But the problem is that in every other way the app is worse, the constant advertisement in the bottom of the screen […]
It’s okay. The interface is a bit better than the mobel web, but I will probably stick to the web version for now. It has to do with how I leave a finger on the screen when not scrolling. I kept accidently opening the dictionary. I have the same problem with making highlights on the […]
Simple, fast, and easy to navigate. All the important features from the site, but not bloated with features you’ll never use. The devs from Royal Road nailed it with this app! it’s a great reader all around. Premium is a reasonable price, removes the ads and enables OFFLINE READING. FINALLY! Maybe I just haven’t found […]
honestly the best app for reading light novels, everything is free to read and it has a really nice sense of community. i would like to give a 4.5 star because there is one issue but im not going to knock it to 4 because of it. i wish the app tracked reading progress while […]
When this app first launched, it had a couple crashing bugs, but within a few weeks, all the crashing bugs I was experiencing were patched and fixed. I now use this exclusively over the webview. Royal Road is one of the original players in the Web Novel space, and is dedicated to their authors and […]
Love the app. Only missing one star because occasionally I can not connect to the servers, about once or twice a week. I use the app 2-3 times daily and hours at a time. adds are appropriately spaced. very rarely (like maybe twice in 6 months) do I have to change my font/background settings to […]
So, until today I was planning to rate the app 5 stars. The ads have been reasonable, the search functionality extensive, and it does have a lot of good stories. Then they removed their best feature: inline edit suggestions. I was about to start putting my own story here, but maybe I’ll look at other […]
Crashes constantly. Would be alot better once that is fixed. I would prefer to have the ads moved. I accidentally press the lower ones when attempting to use my phone buttons. Edit: The ads are now movable, which is nice. Royal Road still crashes a bit. Edit: It looks good nowadays. I don’t randomly crash […]
Don’t bother using the app. it would not let me log in (kept getting an error mesg), and when i sent an email to get it fixed, I got an email back saying to use the web browser and just 3 or 4 word responses after that. The website works, and i look forward to […]
You’ll be hard pressed to find a better place to read fantasy, sci-fi stories in web novel foum anywhere else! You can’t write in this app though, I think they said they’re going to make a separate app for us writers. Wish they’d hurry— were the one providing the content for this app in the […]
they’ve fixed the constant log out issue, I love the app! Great app, love it use it every day but… It keeps logging me out, a lot, I have the app installed on my phone and I love to read on it, but sometimes it just shuts down, and then you have to log back […]
I very much enjoy this app. The only problems I have is when using audio it gives me an error of not being able to load the next chapter if I don’t have my phone screen on and the app in the foreground. Kind of breaks the usefulness some. Also when searching books, for example […]
I enjoy being able to read through the stories and using this as a way to find more stories. Some things I would like to see implemented to the app would be better voices to choose from for when you have the app read to you, a way to hit next page and have the […]
I was reluctant to use this app, because the website is already convenient. But I’m pleased with it. Every time I open a story the app remembers not just what chapter I was on, but whether I’d finished the chapter and how far I’d gotten. Even if I was reading something else. It warns me […]
App has been very flaky. It also has annoying spelling mistakes (“fictions”) in obvious places. Deciding to add a story to your favorites involves leaving the current page and hitting a button that doesn’t make sense to me. Audio doesn’t function properly: It doesn’t register itself as a proper music source and so doesn’t show […]
If you consume story product by the genre, this is your Ultimate Unending Smörgåsbord of free lunch. I have been surprised & captured by More than a few places the author cartoons..err, I mean ads…no. Some call them that, but I say not ads- cute little 1-4 panel cartoons that end you up at adding […]
