Love it
I love this app! Although it freezes and kicks me out at least 2 times a day. It still is awesome! I’m reading my 1st book on it and I love it. Alit more choices in stories :)
It’s ok
For the first year or so using Inkitt it was quite good, I use wattpad but due to changes decided to try out Inkitt, some of the problems I had was were my books that I had saved were and I couldn’t figure out how to delete books. Whether that’s just my own stupidness or an actual issue I don’t know but apart from that it’s was good. But a couple of days ago I went onto the app to find all my stuff deleted and my account gone, it tried to log in again and it wasn’t working so I then tried to reset my password because maybe I had a different password that I just for got so it said that it sent the email, and I never got that email so I done it a couple of times and it wasn’t working my email is synced to my phone so every time I send or receive and email I get notified on my account but I received no email and when I tried to make a new account I used the same email but different password saved some of the books that I had lost and got off the app and carried on with my day but I go on again and the blank page, library and lists again. Honestly I liked this app but it’s really annoying and some of the books I can’t for the life of me remember the names but now I’ve lost that and to be honest it’s a bit sad and annoying because i really liked this app.

Hi there! Can you please email us at support@inkitt.com, so we can help get this resolved for you? Thanks!
User-friendly, interesting, but could improve.
I find this platform easy to use and nice compared to others. I am an avid ‘Wattpad’ fan, but lately with all the changes of premium and paying but only getting the first 5 chapters of a story, I was leading towards other platforms... and honestly, I’m impressed. The stories are interesting, compelling, and most importantly, varied.
I found that with ‘Wattpad’, nearly every single story had the same plot or the same lines. Which, is not the company’s fault, I just needed a change, and ‘Inkitt’ delivered that.
However, it could be improved in some ways (As is with any other app). For example, the beginning blurb/plot line, I feel should be where the book’s information is, like there should be a pop-up page when you click onto the book to tell you the blurb, ratings, etc...
Also, the tiny bit of information under the books should be longer and have more space instead of the ‘...’ at the end, after about two lines. It’s a bit off putting, and the author would have a lot more reads if they could put more information on about their story.
Despite this, ‘Inkitt’, is a user-friendly, dummie-compatible app, it’s nice to use and the books are interesting and varied. So, all in all; a good app, and worth your time.

Hi Cytherea! Thanks for the feedback. We'll definitely consider these points moving forward. Right now, the blurb can be read in italicized text right before the first chapter begins, but our tech team is looking into more options (and information) in future updates, so stay tuned. If you have any other concerns or questions, please let us know at support@inkitt.com OR use the Contact Support button in the app. Thanks!
Wow
I’m a wattpad user who felt a little guilty trying a new writing app but inkitt was refreshing in terms of the fairness of being able to have your work seen rather than having to compete with readers only selecting the stories with gazillions on reads. Writing is easy on the app and things are being improved or in the works all the time for new functionalities. Don’t get me started on their sister app Galatea - inkitt would appear to be the future of online writing and one step ahead of everyone else.

Convenience
This app has made my life a little easier when it comes to finding new books online. I usually have to use my internet to find new books to read, but having to keep so many tabs open just to remember which ones I wanted to read and going to multiple sites is annoying after a while. I love using this app because I can just open and close it and keep reading when I want. I also like that it gives you the option to download the stories you’re reading and it keeps track of your history.

Current reads sect. & switching from on phone and computer
I have a problem with how the current reads section is set up. I have a hard time figuring out which one has been updated. (I know it says which one in the tab that is notifications but it’d be helpful here as well.) It shows which book that you’re currently reading vertically and shows (too many) recommendations underneath, but it doesn’t show that there has been a portion updated on any of them. If you were to show just the current reads and the update status on each of the books horizontally with more detail it would be easier to go back to another book that you were reading in the past and read the updated parts. Kinda like how Wattpad has theirs set up but in your own way per se?
On another note! I also have noticed that when I am reading on my phone and want to continue reading a book on my computer it looses where I was at. Either completely starting from the beginning of the book or from the beginning of the page that I am on.

Hi there, and thank you for the feedback! We really appreciate the suggestions. Our tech team is actually working on changing the library layout, so there will be updates on that in the near future. Regarding losing track of where you are when switching from the app to website, we don't currently have the functionality on the website to match the app's progress, but this is also on our tech team's list, so stay tuned. If you have more feedback, definitely let us know at support@inkitt.com OR use the Contact Support button in the app. Thank you!
Inkitt
IM IN LOVE! Everyday I look forward to opening up Inkitt to see what’s new and what I’ll enjoy. This is one of my top 5 go to apps every single day. I love to read and I have other reading apps but this is probably my top favorite one to open up. If your a reader from Wattpad, Inkitt is very similar except it’s mainly just different writers. Another is there is no Beta Program blocking’s you from reading anything that you would have to pay for. I found Inkitt after reading some comments on Wattpad and fell in love with this App. Both I recommend and a lot of my friends would agree I just think I love Inkitt even more.

I love it, but some issues.
I came from Wattpad because most of the authors have moved onto this site, at first I like it, a lot. But now i’m having issues. First of all, when I hit “next chapter” it’ll be bring me back to the current chapter I am and have to scroll all the way down and hit the next button all over again to move onto the next chapter. I also would like a different lay out of my library. It’s hard to navigate, columns or rows would be nicer then sliding side to side. I’m also having trouble removing books I’ve already finished or started and aren’t gonna read anymore out of my library. Please fix some of these things! I really love the books and authors on here and would hate to find another app!

Best I’ve seen in a long time.
I love this app, it truly is the best book app I’ve seen in a very long time and I go through quite a lot of books 😂 but Inkitt seems different and more mature. I know I can log on to the app and immediately be hit with not only amazing stories but also amazing service. The app is easy to use and I am so happy I found it because it lets me satisfy my hunger for reading and it allows me to do it freely and not be restricted to WiFi or 4G so I do think this app is amazing and I hope it stays that way long term.

Need fixes
This app is very nice and I personally like it as a reading app, but I generally don’t like it when it have to login in your account. It’s a basic thing and I know that because I’m not dumb, but connect the devices that aren’t a computer with any device. I started my account on a ipad and I wanted to write a book. Though I soon to realize you have to write it on a computer. I was okay with that because I have a computer and some apps prefer that, but I forgot my password (since it was a long time) and I tried multiple times to login. I finally clicked “forgot password?” And they did email me the link, but almost all of it say it couldn’t find my account. Then, I received a working link and I wrote in my new password and when I came back to my computer—typing the same password I wrote on the received email— they told me I did something wrong. I don’t know why it won’t let me in which I want the developing team to fix because when I try to do it, they would either give me a new account (which I didn’t wanted) or I did something wrong with the signing in part.
