Reviews of Serial Reader

  • Excellent tool! Just what I needed

    I have tried many times to read some books on small portions a day. It is cumbersome to calculate and keep track. This app is the perfect way to tackle some classics that I have always wanted to read and never had. The app is simple to use but it has very nice extra features that I didn’t expect. I love the highlighting and how you can download them all together. You can do notes. Fix the type and size of the typeface on the reading screen. It has fun words of encouragement every day and landmark badges. Great app. I am thankful it was recommended to me and gladly paid the for the premium version.
  • So good

    I love this app so much i’d marry it. It makes reading addictive - I’ve gone through half of the count of monte cristo in about 3 weeks. I’ve read ahead of course but seeing it broken down in 15 mins chapters gets me reading everywhere, since there really is no excuse to not read for 5 mins vs scroll on twitter.

    It has helped me keep and improve my new years resolution of reading more, since im tackling these huge books and really enjoying them. Plus the little awards are a nice incentive. And everything is so carefully and skillfully designed, a real treat. I prefer it to the apple Books app or Kindle. Download the paid version and upload your own ebooks, you wont regret it.
