So thankful to have become part of their community. **Developer response:** Thank you for the review! Very happy to have you as part of the aJoara community! ### 5/5 — Great app *2021-06-18, version 1.0.4* This is a great app lots of cool books and I’m going to write one on there is going to be called mafia’s Weakness ### 4/5 — Thank Goodness no Ads! *2021-06-17* As a Hunter-Of-Good-Storytellers I followed one of my newfound favorite authors (SEViolet) over to AJoara where she had migrated as an author. I then searched to find other new authors. The search was short because the stories I began to read either 1. Didn’t hold my attention; 2. Was filled with language I do not appreciate; or, 3. Was not clean or wholesome. And I am sure there are other writers on AJoara that I am hunting for and eventually will find—but in the meantime I cannot remove the unwanted authors from my library. So until I can remove the unwanted, I will only be reading SEViolet’s works. I like AJoara for other reasons. It’s format and function are user friendly and when reading I am not interrupted with ads every other page. So yes! 4 stars! When I can remove unwanted reads out of my library I will upgrade to 5 stars. Thank you. **Developer response:** Hello. Thank you for the review. We have updated the app so you are now able to remove unwanted stories from your library. Let us know if you have any other questions! ### 5/5 — Both A WattPad & aJoara user *2021-06-17* I love both platforms to write on. While I’m newer to aJoara (since About Mid-early May 2021). Versus having been part of WattPad long in comparison (since late 2018/early 2019…?). I learned about aJoara last May on my instagram (@japanimationgirl). It was a comment on one of my book covers “Excalibur’s Heir” (Book 1). It was about entering their story writing April/May 2021 contest. Since I was still very new. I didn’t know how to enter my story into the contest. I emailed the admin/one of the admins for the app. Around close to mid May. The day after I got a response! They helped me (even with a screenshot) about how to do it. Turns out I just needed to select publish (whoops lol). Since my story was officially submitted too close to the end of the contest… I wanted to try to enter it again into the June/July 2021 contest. However I noticed the rules were a little different. I requested to aJoara using the same email chain from the first time. To give me an exception this once. Since I was “alittle too late” with submission to the last contest. They gave me the green light for ^_^ And they submitted the story for me this one. I have definitely this to say about aJoara… They are understanding and help the best way that they can. That’s the big won over from them. If you use WattPad like me (and I still do). I also highly recommend aJoara. After all… more readers on more than one writing platform. Can help any writer out get discovered :D. So why not post your story on aJoara too? **Developer response:** Thank you for your review and feedback. We are happy to know that you are having a great experience on the aJoara platform.

I already have a favourite newbie author (EmTay93). Not my demographic but really enjoyed reading her books aimed at young adult (I’m 53 lol). Looking forward to diving in further and finding more aspiring authors to read. ### 5/5 — Surprisingly pretty good *2021-06-16* I thought the app was well designed and has a user friendly interface. This seems like a good app for aspiring writers so this definitely deserves 5 stars compared to other bogus apps out there. **Developer response:** Thank you for your review! We always strive to continuously improve the user experience so your feedback is very encouraging. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. ## Frequently asked questions about aJoara ### What can I do with the aJoara app?
