### 1/5 — Blank page

*2026-02-24*

After the recent update its very hard to open books, after the ads it only shows blank black page, tried to delete/uninstall/stall the app, on/off my phone but still getting black blank page.

### 2/5 — App Sucks

*2026-02-22*

Only story, nothing went wrong. But all the stories I tried to read after that? the screen just goes blank every single time I access it. AS IN blank. There’s not even a way to go back to the main menu. After the ad, it brings you to literally a screen of nothing. NOTHING. How do you expect people to read or use the app the way you say when the app doesn’t even do the very thing that it’s supposed to do, which is let people READ!? this is absolutely ridiculous.

### 1/5 — oa sa ads mima

*2025-12-21, version 1.9.1*

kada open ng story may ads. kahit kakanuod mo lang para ma dl offline, pag nag open ka another story para ma dl din sana ads nanaman. it would be better if di kada open yung ads. siguro after 5 stories naioopen tyaka mag ads.  kasi nakakatamad if every story na ioopen mag aads para lang maopen at ma dl offline. i get it that its free app pero too much ads can kill the experience

### 5/5 — Thank you

*2025-11-17*

Best reading apps i had ever downloaded

### 3/5 — new chapters are taking too long to load

*2025-11-12, version 1.9.1*

I kept on refreshing my feed to see if the new chapters of the book I’m reading will appear but it didn’t, I tried deleting it and installing it again yet it didn’t nothing to fix the problem.

### 2/5 — Version Bug

*2025-11-08, version 1.9.0*

The latest version is causing a bug on my app. The homescreen doesnt even come out. It’s only a plain white screen

### 3/5 — Failing to load multiple times

*2025-10-03, version 1.6.0*

I have to open the app multiple times because it’s closing itself, I only experienced it with iOS. Please fix this bug, I want to read a lot of stories in the app. It also makes my device hot, I didn’t experience it with other reading apps.

### 4/5 — New update?

*2025-08-16, version 1.6.0*

Curious lang if magkaroon ba ng update for haloreads para sa mga epistolaries? Since may image madalas yung chat fiction. Hear us out po, please?

### 3/5 — App crash

*2025-07-17, version 1.5.2*

I was excited to try HaloReads because the I see that Jfstories is writing in this app also the concept and story selection seemed promising. However, after reading just a few chapters, the app began to crash repeatedly. It's incredibly frustrating to get invested in a story only to be kicked out constantly. I’ve tried reinstalling and restarting my device, but nothing helped. Until this major bug is fixed, the app is practically unusable. Really disappointed.

### 2/5 — App Malfunctioning

*2025-07-10, version 1.5.2*

It was going smooth. However, for some reason, it just started crashing after hours of using it. I tried to close the app several times in high hopes that it would proceed to load. To my dismay, it didn’t happen. Until now, I am having a hard time opening the app as it would just present the loading page with the logo at the center.
