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. ### 3/5 — Tapping *2025-05-24, version 1.4.0* I’m a reader who loves to visit authors’ profile and check their stories, and if ever I find an interesting book to add. I’ll immediately tap its title it but sometimes it does not work. I have to refresh the app multiple times, yes, it works after many attempts. I’m just hoping this will be fixed. Thank you and congratulations! ### 3/5 — Need improvements *2025-05-04, version 1.1.0* They genuinely need to fix the scroll bugs. I can’t read peacefully on this app without feeling dizzy every time I scroll. The whole screen is shaky and there’s a delay each time I scroll down to read. ### 3/5 — Review *2025-04-20, version 1.1.0* Until now , unsuccessful to open the app. ### 3/5 — Takes time to load *2025-04-18, version 1.1.0* Nagc-crash yung app. After magbasa then, pag-open ng app, it’s taking too long to load even if the signal and everything else is working fine naman. ### 2/5 — Feedback *2025-04-04, version 1.1.0* I’m a fan of reading, I used IOS for this app. Just recently the app keeps closing whenever I open it. It only allows me to read for a minute and log me out. I have enough space in my IOS so I dunno why it happens. Please help me with this issue. I want to continue using so please help me. Stories are perfect for me. I don’t wanna stop just because of this. ### 3/5 — Crash *2025-04-01, version 1.1.0* Hello! I like this app since some of my fav stories that were removed or under paid program in wp are here for free. The problem is the app crashes everytime huhu. Nakaka-frustrate lang every time na nagbabasa ako and then bigla-biglang nababalik sa home page. I don’t know if ako lang ba nakaka-experience or phone ko ba ang problem but ‘yun huhu thank you ### 4/5 — Suggestion *2025-03-21, version 1.0.8* I would like to express my appreciation for your application. I am thrilled that it provides a free platform for readers to enjoy stories. However, as someone who faces challenges with vision, I would like to offer a few suggestions to enhance the user experience. Firstly, it would be helpful if the book cover images, perhaps making them a bit larger would improve visibility. Furthermore, I noticed that when searching for an author, the results do not immediately appear after clicking "Done." It would be more efficient if the search results were displayed right away, rather than requiring an additional step of selecting a category to view all the relevant information. I apologize if these suggestions seem numerous. As an IT intern assigned to Quality Assurance, I am simply sharing my insights about the app. Thank you very much for your hard work in developing the application. I truly appreciate it. ### 3/5 — usage *2025-02-22, version 1.0.5* still too hard or confusing to use ### 2/5 — App issue *2025-02-09, version 1.0.3* I defo created an account but it says na wala daw akong network connection when in fact, naka 5G naman. I am sure also what’s going on, nag log in ako as a guest pero puro loading lang siya. Siguro 5 minutes na ang nakalipas, it is still the same. Sana po maayos. Thank you 🫶🏼 ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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 ### 1/5 — fvkassapp *2025-07-03, version 1.5.2* I really like the app but its crashes after several use ### 1/5 — Crashing app *2025-05-20, version 1.1.0* It crashes after some time of usage. ### 1/5 — pang8t *2025-02-11, version 1.0.3* ang tagal mag loading, akala ko wifi namin yung may something then i tried using other apps pero malakas. sadyang di pa talaga fully furnished and developed yung app ☹️☹️☹️ hoping na mas mapabilis po and mas gumanda yung app, struggle is real 😭 ### 1/5 — Bash *2025-02-09, version 1.0.3* The Loading is so long even if the internet is strong!!! ### 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. ### 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 ### 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. ### 2/5 — loading issue *2025-04-18, version 1.1.0* always stuck sa loading screen ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Thank you *2025-11-17* Best reading apps i had ever downloaded ### 5/5 — Notification *2025-03-21, version 1.0.8* pa update po sana ulit na yung following author lng po sana ang nagnonotify sa app kapag may bagong posted na chapter, ang hassle pa kapag hahanapin kac nag uupload ng mga chapters ung ibang authors na hindi ko finafollow.

Especially, when I’m reading and left it a bit to open other apps like messenger and when I will read again..it will start over from the home page ### 5/5 — Enjoying again!! *2025-02-04, version 1.0.2* It’s so nice to finally re-read my comfort stories again.
