Great stories, needs better navigation options
I’ve found a lot of great stories on this app, and I like that I can save them in my library, and look at the history of what I’ve checked out, in case you forgot to save something you want to go back to. But I really wish the search options could be improved. I would like to be able to filter my searches more. For instance, look only at completed stories, or filter out topics I’m not interest in (werewolves, for instance). Also, there should really be an option to look at all results, rather than being limited to “popular”, “new”, or “recently updated”. I don’t know if this is the right place to make these suggestions. I hope they end up being seen. Thanks to all of the authors for the great stories!Show lessBflecka
Love this app, though it could be better
At the rate I go through books, it’s great to have a whole extensive library. It has everything, and I mean everything for anyone. I do wish that it would recommend books based on what you’ve already read. Also would be nice if they would caution readers about books that have been “offline” for an extended period of time. Nothing is more frustrating than really getting into a book just to have it end unfinished and the author hasn’t touched it in over a year. It does have it on the bottom, but maybe move it up top so it’s right in a reader’s face. Or move them to a different category?Show lessbook_worm needs her stories
Good stories but has a lot of bugs/lags
I’ve been using this app for a while now and it has some really good books and interesting stories. Inkitt has a good variety but that’s not my problem with it. My issue is that the app itself is so laggy and it takes some time for books to load in your library or when changing from different chapters. Another BIG ISSUE I have with it is when I leave a book, then close the app out and open it back up again, it opens back in the book I was reading AFTER I’ve already closed it. It’s literally one of the most annoying things I’ve dealt w/ from this app. I hope this problem gets fixed soon so I could give it the 5 stars.Show lessidfk466
Love the site, hate the app
Alright, I love love love the stories on the Inkitt site, and I love that (as of June 2020) the stories are free (one of the reasons I stopped using Wattpad is that it was a free space for authors to share their work when I started and then slowly started adding monetization, even without the knowledge or consent of the authors and without paying the authors for the ads they were placing on our stories without us allowing them to)
HOWEVER this app is a MESS. It glitches all the time, randomly freezes, goes black, shuts down. It takes forever to load anything and it’s incredibly hard to find stories aside from the same 5 that the app seems to always have in the recommended for you section. I’d love to read more, but can’t find any stories I haven’t read. Now I don’t know if it’s because there aren’t any more stories on the site in the genres and tags that I’m searching or if it’s bc of some algorithm that makes it hard to find them. I’m going to give reading online a try, simply because I am so frustrated with this app lately that I just don’t even want to use it anymore.Show lessMonaL16
Great App
I love most of the stories are free. You know before you start if you need to pay for a book. It’s so fun to see what various authors have to offer. Some are so good it’s impossible to put down, while other authors are just beginning their writing journey. It’s so fun to sift through the different options.
It would be helpful to add suggested books after finishing a book. It would be so much easier to find new reads. However, the current set up is still very useable.
I like this app much more than bumming around a library or book store.Show lessradddgc
In need of more advanced tools
I love the app it not only allows me to read more stories but more Mature ones that wattpad started to take down or made it difficult for some authors. The only issues I have are that there are no previous chapter button, I hate when I accidentally press next chapter or I forget what happens and instead of swiping or pressing something I have to go to the chapters and slide down to the I want, I’m not sure if it’s available on desktop but I personally don’t like reading on a computer so even if it was it wouldn’t benefit me
The next problem I have is when searching for new stories to read there are no filters that can have you choose “Completed” or not, sometimes I don’t want to read unfinished books my patience can’t handle sometimes.Show lessZTalya
Great app! some issues!
First, Inkitt has been a god sent! I love the catalogue and the fact that it is quality stories for no cost. I have been a Wattpad reader ever since before the design and price changes and I have to search in the nooks and crannies to find a quality book that is free! But Inkitt has it all I look for in a reading app in one place! But the only shortcoming is the layout. Now the layout is horrible there’s waaaay too many things trying to be crammed on one home screen and none of the pictures see conclusive, they just seem to fade. I would suggest a way to organize it to make it more user friendly and another is the FONT. PLEASE CHANGE THE FONT or give us an option to change it when we read because the current one is very hard to see and especially against the stark white background! But other than those simple design issues 10/10 app! I would definitely recommend!Show lessNatalie2134677
Maybe user error?
Fantastic app but I was wondering if there is anyway of horizontal reading. I swear I looked it up to see if I was just dumb and couldn’t find it but if there isn’t a way to read horizontally this would be a good option to add if possible. I use my iPad horizontally constantly and it’s kind of annoying to have to turn it vertical when I’m jumping between a video and reading. This has also held me back from really using this app. Also would be nice is if books had the ability to show they are finished or completed like in Wattpad (if these are all features already and I’m just dumb I apologize I obviously haven’t used the app much to figure everything out but, I also figured my five star review would just help instead of hinder). Thanks!Show less197426896
Fix your algorithms!!!
I love this app. I really do. I love it so much that I’ve read just about every single story on the popular and new pages. However, when I search for new books by genre, the same list of books pop up.
Now I read a lot. I can finish a 500 page book in a day. That being said, I am searching for something new to read everyday, if not multiple times a day. I’m losing hope that there is even anything new on the site for me to even read. Please refresh your algorithms so that I can see new stories and new things.
Not being able to see the page count of each story on the app before I click into it, is frustrating. Something with 30 chapters that’s complete can be misleading. Most of the time, those books average about two hundred to three hundred pages, or even one hundred. I’d like to be able to see how many pages are in the book before so that I don’t accidentally cause the app to crash like it has so many times before.Show lessChariteehope
Great App but has issues
I love the stories! I usually do all my reading on this app, but it has bugs that I’ve been dealing with that a super irritating. Sometimes it’ll just completely cut off as I’m reading something and I’ll end up at my home screen. Another issue I’ve been having is that when I go to write comments on a chapter my keyboard will get in the way and I can’t submit and or see the things I’ve written to check for misspellings. There’s also the problem of when an author has an update on your news feed and I click it, it doesn’t take me to the new chapter, it takes me to the previous one. The biggest issue I am currently facing is every time I open the app it takes me back to whatever I read last, even after I exit out of the chapter and click on a different tab like discover it news and when I do try to go back the screen won’t load. So now I can’t see any of my updates of read anything new for that matter. I’m seriously thinking about deleting which is a shame because I love a lot of the stories on there.Show lessMs.Mystery*
