Read aloud additions

Hey I already said this is the app but I thought I’d double dip. I’m extremely impressed with the app, however I wish there was more content in the read aloud side of things. It would be great if there were more additions like pronunciation correction, skipping certain words or phrases, or only skipping/highlighting sentences instead of full on paragraphs. Great work otherwise tho

It’s meh.

The app looks great but the amount of ads popping up? Terrible the amount of points you get from watching ads? Terrible the ad at the bottom of the screen making scrolling laggy? Absolutely awful Ima stick with NovelReader it’s better.

We're sorry to hear that your experience wasn't a good one. We understand that ads can be frustrating. We try to balance keeping the app free with providing a good reading experience, and your feedback about the ad frequency, coin rewards, and scrolling performance is valuable. We'll continue working to improve these areas in future updates.

Really Awesome!!!!

There are many novels that can be read online and you also get points by reading them . I can also downloads novels with these points and every log in gift points are generous. I sometimes log in daily even if I am not reading to collect points and so I can use them for later. The points system is really fair and I like it . Not like other apps where you can only get so little and have to buy them.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! ❤️ I'm really glad you're enjoying the coin system and daily rewards. I wanted to make it fair so everyone can keep reading without feeling forced to spend money. Thanks for your support, and I hope you continue enjoying LightNovel. Happy reading!

Add a fast forward/ rewind option

Please add an option to make it where when your listening to the audio you can skip/rewind so it will be easier to listen, I’m at work and some want to skip in the story, please add this I saw in the App Store a picture the had an option where this was available but I can’t see it, it’s the 4th picture on the App Store where it says every novel, now an audiobook

Fantastic app

One of the best novel reading app that I’ve tried. Almost all the novels are present and you can even listen to them

Thank you so much for the 5-star review! 😊 I'm really happy you're enjoying LightNovel. It's great to hear that you like both the large novel library and the listen feature. I'll keep improving the app and adding more features. Happy reading (and listening)!

Love it

Love it and only thing they could change is the sound of the narrator AI it should be real like sound person . If they use sound like the chat GPT I think it will be awesome . But over all it’s amazing app lets you read or listen as much as you can . With some ads but still way better than spending 1000$ on other apps

Thank you so much for the amazing review! 😊 I'm glad you're enjoying the app. I completely agree that more natural AI voices would make the experience even better. I'm actively working on improving the TTS quality and adding more realistic voice options in future updates. Thanks again for your support, and happy reading!

One glitch which should be resolved however amazing app in all

I’m enjoying the app so much however there’s just one problem. When I tried downloading the chapters with my points, it didn’t download and I couldn’t get my points back but it happened only once so I’m guessing it was a glitch apart from that I can’t wait to see more about the new feature that has been updated.

Although there are lots of ads, you can gain points by watching them which helps you to download the chapters. For me once the chapters are downloaded I can switch off my data and WiFi and enjoy uninterrupted reading, so in all I’m really enjoying the app.

Thank you for the kind words and the detailed feedback, it really helps. Sorry about the points not refunding after that failed download. If you email me at contacts.simplestudio@gmail.com, I'll credit the points back for you. More features on the way, happy reading.

Great novel app with one flaw it removed some downloaded chapters over time

I love how you can download the novels so you can read them online it’s a great novel the only issue is it keeps removing what’s been downloaded after a bit so if possible I’d like that flaw fixed

App used to be ok but kind of annoying now it’s borderline unusable without premium

I always used this app for one specific book only because it is free on here otherwise I use other apps because the ads are overbearing, now they added an update so that you can only read 15 chapter for free per day unless you watch more ads even if you downloaded the book, which you also have to watch ads to download, the only way to get around is to pay premium which also sucks because you guys already stuff this app with ads every 2 minutes

Update (honest review )

I purchased the lifetime membership since it was affordable and just made sense in the long run.
It is definitely worth it; having no ads and the "auto-next" feature is great. (Cough, cough... most apps include auto-next as a freebie, but I guess it helps drive subscriptions, and I can't complain too much since Royal Road does the same thing!)

The Text-to-Speech (TTS) feature has also improved a lot. There are no more awkward pauses at line breaks, and the text formatting is way cleaner now. So, thank you for those updates!
However, the library is still pretty limited and doesn't have the greatest selection of new books yet.

Overall, I'd give it a 3.9, but I'm rounding it up to 4 stars. If you can improve the selection of new books, this app would easily be the best out of any third-party app out there!

Thank you for explaining this in detail 🙏 We’re really sorry for how disruptive this is — that’s not the experience we want for readers. We understand your concern about moderation, and your feedback has been shared with the team to urgently review and fix the ad behavior. We truly appreciate you speaking up.

I love this app

It’s cheap the ads are not even bad if you don’t buy the subscription and it’s just a good place to read and the ai audios are on point and read the exact text

Best light novel app in my opinion

Some ads are intrusive but it’s for purpose of devs trying to earn some money, so it’s justified. I just download the chapters and read them offline with my wifi off, no ads in sight.

Thank you very much for taking the time to provide your review. We appreciate you offering your thoughts and feedback on this matter.

A singular problem I found

The app is good in all ways, but sometimes I can’t skip the ads and enforced to get off of the app entirely before closing it and opening it again. This might just be because I’m using VoiceOver but either way the issue should be addressed.

Thanks for the kind words and for taking the time to report this! We're sorry about the ad experience — accessibility with VoiceOver is something we take seriously, and we'll look into making sure ads can be properly dismissed when using it. If you run into this again, feel free to reach out to us directly so we can troubleshoot further. Really appreciate the feedback!

Good but be wary of ads

It’s great for what it does except if you don’t like ads. I personally never minded them so to be able to read light novels for free is all I need
