### 1/5 — This app is very sun

*2026-04-17*

So I just downloaded this app, a random blip. The userbase they say, which is 2 million, is basically a scam. Content is below average and people don't even write or read. Number of views and reviews are fake. Like seriously, 5k reviews and not even one gave a 1, 2, 3 rating out of 5?! Also once you upload something you cant remove it from this app. There is no option to remove it. Upload it, it's gonna be there for a lifetime.

### 3/5 — Still need work

*2026-03-04*

Lots of bugs

### 1/5 — Belarusian subscriptions plan

*2025-06-04, version 6.1.0*

Application is really good but premium plan me per month 99 , 299 3 months or 1 year ek bhi plan me Vishesh novels ki facilities hi nhi rakhi 
Direct 3 saal ka subscription lo to hi Visesh milegi novels padhne 
ISI vajah se Maine Pratilipi choose Kiya wo is se costly hai 149 per month hai but premium Milta hai us me 
Par fir bhi Visesh milta us me

### 5/5 — Thank you Matrubharti ♥️

*2024-10-26*

“I’ve been using the Matrubharti app to write and share my Gujarati novels, and it has been an amazing experience! The platform is user-friendly, making it easy to publish my stories and connect with a vibrant community of readers. Since joining, I’ve seen my followers grow steadily, and the feedback I receive motivates me to keep writing. The subscription service is totally worth it, providing great features for writers like me who are serious about their craft. Thanks to Matrubharti, I’ve found the perfect platform to share my passion with the world. Highly recommended for any aspiring writer!”

### 1/5 — Crashes everytime

*2024-06-08*

This app crashes everytime you open it. Not worth anything

### 5/5 — Suffering from not open the aap

*2024-04-03*

I am a regular reader of matrubharti and i have purchase premium membership of matrubharti. Last 2 days i cant open this app. And if app was open then no data availability. 
Why this is happening?

### 5/5 — Bhedi tapu

*2024-02-27*

It is very interesting adventure novel. One cannot leave it in middle.

### 1/5 — Unable to use application due to mail issue with app

*2024-01-01*

However I have tried multiple email_id , I didn’t get any mail for PIN. I am not sure what’s wrong but it’s annoying. Please check your app is there any bug or what and fix it.

### 1/5 — Worst app

*2023-05-22*

Worst app UI i have ever seen, they know how to make things complicated just by UI. 
Ask you to pay money for some trash content and third party translations. 
None of the things even worth free download.
Looks like some 5 years old build this app, who can not even build anything with LEGOs.
