Amazing

Inkitt is a wonderful app that I love so much. I'm learning new words and reading new books that I didn't even know that existed! I have never had one problem with Inkitt! It's even helping me in school with my vocabulary, now that I'm reading again. I used to not like reading as much because the books at my library never kept me interested, only very few books did but those books were in a series, then I found this AMAZING app, Inkitt, I love all of these books on the app because they all keep me interested in reading, and I am so glad!!

I enjoy it but...

I haven’t been on this app long. I’ll be honest. I do love it and how simple it is to find books that I’ll enjoy and being able to read them any time. However, I don’t really like that I can’t swipe to the side instead of scrolling up. I also find it very annoying that every time I open a book, my phone tells me that in app purchases are not allowed. Considering the books are free to read, I find this very odd and it’s annoying to have that pop up every time I just want to read the book and have some headspace. I’m not saying this is something that changes my view on the app, but it is a little frustrating to deal with.

Great App, with a few issues.

I like the idea behind this app, I’m a massive fan of Wattpad, which is similar, but I appreciate Inkitt supporting its writers.

Unfortunately, for me, this app has become almost unusable. It crashes constantly. I’m using an iPhone X, with the most updated iOS (11.2.5), and yet the crashing is just getting worse. Originally it was only crashing after 15mins or so, now, it probably crashes 3 times a minute!

I also wouldn’t mind a page turning feature (instead of just scrolling) similar to the way page turning works on an eReader (kindle etc.) however this wouldn’t affect my overall enjoyment for the app, it’s just a preference! Sorry if this already exists somewhere I can’t find, the crashing has become to frequent to look for it!

Hey there! Thank you for the feedback, and we're really sorry to hear about the crash issues you're having.

I love this app

Inkitt is really great for authors and writers. They respond well to any concerns readers and writers have and they actually do what needs to be done instead of waiting around like Wattpad.

Inkitt is safer for writers as well since they combat any sort of plagiarism unlike Wattpad. The writing lay out isn’t complicated. Inkitt has clear guidelines for everyone to follow and they email you letting you know if you aren’t following some.

The only thing I complain about (and why it hasn’t got the 5 stars) is because the IOS app still has a long way to go with giving notifications for anything you write or read. It’s also hard to see the full reviews of your work. So if you want all that you’ll need to go to the web page because you can see and do everything easily there. Other than that it’s a great app and you should definitely try out

Awesome

Great! Download a few books and read away. No connection need once a book is downloaded, unlike most games.

Good but crashes often...

Awesome app, once you get used to the layout it’s amazing! I’m hoping to get my book published, it would be a dream come true but I know it’s a long shot and to compensate I’m putting my blood, sweat and tears into it.

One issue! It crashes after about a minute or two whenever I open it. I can do stuff until it crashes and it saves but it’s super annoying so please try to fix this ASAP!

Great Community and Support

Has a great community and very unique way of determining whether or not a novel/novellete/etc. is worth publishing by using data collected from the readers. Excellent way to receive feedback early into writing and get tips and tricks plus there's also a ton of content to read to keep you busy! I love it to bits!
