Leave a Review Inkitt
Great concept, app is buggy and crashes
I came across Inkitt, but not being an online or techy type of a person I don’t like apps that require massive amounts of work to use. I find Inkitt right in the middle, fairly easy to use for this traditional writer. Having said that, I have found an issue. I uploaded my manuscript, did all the tags, genre info etc. and published, no problem. I went to edit tags, genre and when I opened the “more info” section - genre, age rating etc. the whole app crashes, and keeps crashing. I have deleted the app and reinstalled it, rebooted and everything else I can think of but cannot find a solution. Any advice??Show lessJackie Hemingway
Irritated
NEVER write directly on the site. I feel dumb for saying it, but if your device glitches and you loose that 900+ word chapter you’ve worked weeks on, there is no way to recover it.
Write your work in Google docks or Office and upload it. Save yourself some grief.
Also, I don’t know if I’ve just become a pickier reader, but a lot of new material on here seems to be made by people who only have a tenuous grasp on the rules of writing. It used to be that new authors had to pass a quality control period before being allowed to post. I’m not sure if Inkitt has stopped doing that, or if the standards have been lowered, but it’s irritating to try and decipher what people are actually trying to say instead of being able to just enjoy a story.Show lessirritated-use-2468013579
Crashing
The app was working fine but i had to delete it for a few hours and when i reinstalled it the app wouldnt get past the logo without crashing. I restarted my phone after reinstalling it about 5 times and it still not working, after i restarted my device it worked for a short at most 3 mins before crashing while i was reading mid sentence and is now back to crashing after the logo appears. I wouldnt be so upset about this if the author of the book would just upload the rest of the book on the app (i will not name it) that she started the book on in the first place. Still very dissapointing no matter the situation that the app is made for people to enjoy their favorite novels and the app cant even do simply what it is made to do. Please fix this problem!Show lessmyrtle d turtle
Great app and totally free!!!
I have read some reviews and seen people mention having problems with stories or the app. I would like to say I am using the app on my iPhone 6 and it works great! I have had no issues whatsoever, it’s not slow, doesn’t crash, and I love that you can read these stories for free!!! I have used good novel and a few other apps that have great books but you end up spending more money to read those books then you would in real life, I would know cause I have been suckered into it a few times. Luckily I came across a book series on her that I have fallen in love with, and have enjoyed waiting for the author to write and post her chapters, cause she is very good at doing it regularly! If you love to read I really suggest trying this app!!Show lessHeavensentme420
Really good app but…
Really good app i’m a big book worm and love having a change from wattpad but there’s a lot that needs to be worked on with Inkitt. 1 my notification history keeps updating me on books i’m not longer reading and can’t delete the notification. 2 i need to know how lidar i am in the chapter or sometimes the app could crash and i now have to scroll quickly in the chapter to get back to my spot. 3 i love added multiple books in my library at once then picking which one to start first i would love it more if i didn’t have to go inside the story just to add it then go back to add another. All in all i love the app but with me having this app 2+ years and nothing has changed it’s still the exact same app from when i first downloaded it i doubt it will start taking suggestions now.Show lessItsonlykieaa
Unfinished story’s or story’s that are not getting updated
There are thousands of story’s on Inkitt but there’s ones who don’t update they’re storys for months if not years and they just sit there I’m just saying maybe Inkitt needs to give people who have not complete there book and not updating for very long periods of time a warning that they should update or maybe take the book off of Inkitt bc I kno from personal experience that start to read a good juicy book and then finding out the author doesn’t update it really kills the mood and makes me not even want to read on Inkitt anymoreShow lesslatairia20076
Overall Great
I think this app is pretty great. I like reading, so this is a great way for me to read. The one thing I would suggest is maybe making a dark mode for the whole app instead of just changing the page color of the books. A lot of people, myself included, have sensitive eyes and it can be very jarring going from a black background to a white one. Also maybe add different fonts to choose from when reading. Other than that I like how the app is.Show lessBluefire21
Solid
I’m an inkitt writer who started on wattpad but wanted to branch out. Being so familiar with one app I was scared and hesitant. I like things to be familiar. The inkitt writing app is helpful if you are constantly writing, but it is not necessary. You can edit your works inside the app as well which I appreciate because I enjoy both reading and writing and I would hate to HAVE to switch between apps but here I have the choice. I still use it for when I have a lot of work to do because it is more writing focused.
There are a lot of community options and people to interact with. I’m still not totally familiar with it, but over all very pleased so far with how well it works and the fact that my books are being recommended to people, despite them being brand new and having few readers.
I will continue to write on the app and read others worksShow lessPaigeHerel
Love the app
No ads is a big plus for me. There are NEVER any ads. It’s totally FREE. There are no promotions to buy a membership or spend money on better books. Everything on Inkitt is free and available to everyone.
Anybody can write on the app so you do have to do some digging to find the good well written books, however since it is completely free and there are no ads I don’t mind digging through books and sorting out the amateurly written ones from the professional quality.
My one request would be that they update the app and fix the recent bugs. The scrolling progress bar appearing in the middle of the text rather than on the far right side where it’s out of the way. The app crashing after each chapter or at other random times.
These bugs are new but they’re very frustrating and I would greatly appreciate you making an update to the app just to fix those! Thanks!!Show lessavae2710
I love this app there’s just a few glitches
So I love Inkett and have been on it a while but lately there’s been some lagging. Like I’ll be reading and get to read a couple chapters but then the next time I hit next chapter, the chapter won’t load and only will display the title. I’ve closed the app, restarted my phone, gone to different WiFi’s and tried data, and even deleted the app and got it again but every few chapters it won’t load until I delete the app and reinstall it. This is really frustrating because I love Inkett but it’s really annoying to have to go through that process just to read a couple chapters.Show lesscr sjxjcksoa
