### 1/5 — Poor IT help

*2022-03-01, version 2.5.0*

App is crashing and not working. It won’t let me read any new books on the app. Very disappointing.

### 1/5 — FRUSTRATING

*2017-12-20, version 1.1.8*

Downloaded this app.
Fell in love with it.
Then everything that could go wrong went wrong!!!
Now, it doesn’t work.
It could be something great if they would just fix it...too bad they don’t care.

### 1/5 — Don't bother with this app

*2016-05-11, version 1.0.2*

Every story I try to open has no chapters and the app just keeps closing. Good thing it was free. SMH

### 1/5 — Couldn't get it to stay open

*2016-04-01, version 1.0.2*

I just downloaded this today 04/01/16 on both my iPhone & iPad & was looking forward to reading some short stories, esp. from favorite authors. Unfortunately, it kept closing before I could enter my email address or even read any instructions. I deleted it and reinstalled it. Rebooted my phone. Nothing worked to resolve the problem. I hope they read this review and send out a fix.

### 2/5 — I have to agree with frustrating!

*2018-08-25, version 2.2.9*

When I first downloaded the app everything was great!  Then all of a sudden if I try to read a book it tells me I am off line!  I know for a fact that I am on line because I can get into my apps that are strictly on line apps.  So I know it isn’t my i-pad, it is your app.  So it would be nice if you fixed the problem!

### 3/5 — Nice app, but frustrating

*2016-05-08, version 1.0.2*

Downloaded the other day and enjoyed reading a few quick reads. Then started to read one story, got to a chapter, hit the next button and the app closed.  Tried on my iPhone with similar results. Waited a day and no luck. I even tried deleting app and redownloading. 😳

### 4/5 — Dialogue

*2021-01-08, version 2.0.3*

Revised review: Problem has been fixed, dialogue has quotation marks! Thanks so much for responding! There are good stories with good writers. 
I tried reading a story and immediately noticed the lack of quotations around the dialogue so I tried another book and it was the same, then I started clicking random stories to see if any of them had quotation marks. None of the stories I clicked on had them! I don’t know if it’s a formatting error or what but I can’t read them like that. Not only does it make it confusing, it’s also frustrating and uncomfortable to see- it’s just wrong.

**Developer response:** Thank you for your review and feedback! We apologize for this bug with the quotation marks and understand the challenges that presented for a good reading experience. The issue should be fixed now if you want to try again. If you still find any stories with missing punctuation, please feel free to let us know the story name at support+harlequin@iversoft.ca so we can investigate further. Thanks!

### 4/5 — Preview before you read

*2020-05-20, version 1.3.7*

Would be great if you could know what the books about before you pick your read that would be a great plus

**Developer response:** Thank you for your rating! We'll pass along your suggestion to the product team.

*2020-12-05, version 2.0.3*

Book Breaks is perfect. This allows me to take a break in my day and read what I love to read. Book Breaks gives you several genres  to choose from, offers short or long stories by some of my favorite authors. It even holds me over between shipments of my reading books. I highly recommend to everyone who enjoys reading.

### 5/5 — Great Book app....

*2016-02-12, version 1.0.2*

This app is really cool.   You're only able to read the books thru their site which is ok..
Just wish there was a way to change the font size....   Like that all the books are free...

**Developer response:** We're glad you enjoy it, thank you for your rating!
