This is off-putting. The lack of options for the background compared to the website is odd. The ads so far are bearable. (I haven't seen many yet, as I am new to the application.) ### 4/5 — Great an utterly fantastic *2023-12-07* The only problem as of late is that no chapter will load from any of my books hopefully y’all are able to fix this ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — feel tricked *2024-04-22* wont load on vaction page loads frozen ### 1/5 — New update is app infested *2023-12-13* The new update is garbage the ads can’t even be closed and the amount of pop ups is insane I have deleted their garbage app and the charge for vip chapters now when they are a rip site that steals chapters from author nothing but scam artists. **Developer response:** Sorry about that, we will resolve this error as soon as possible ### 1/5 — *ucking trash *2023-12-11* It was good until they started charging to read new chapters. You are a pirate site… so you were already making money off the original writers work. Not only that but it’s a huge slap in the face to make it so expensive. I would not mind paying if it were a few dollars a month, but the price you charge is stupid and no one is going to buy it. We are just gonna use a different pirate service. ### 1/5 — Bug *2023-11-26* It’s not even workinh ! **Developer response:** There is a problem with your IP address, please contact our support team in the account tab (chat support) ### 1/5 — Why doesn’t it open? *2023-11-22* I see people write about how the app is so good and all that but why doesn’t it respond after being downloaded? **Developer response:** There is a problem with your IP address, please contact our support team in the account tab (chat support) ### 1/5 — New update is app infested *2023-11-08* The new update is garbage the ads can’t even be closed and the amount of pop ups is insane I have deleted their garbage app. **Developer response:** Sorry about that, we will resolve this error as soon as possible ### 3/5 — Update Breaks Black Background Reading *2023-12-08* App just updated and now trying to read with a black background and white text just gives you a black screen, black text on a black background. ### 3/5 — Overall pretty good but there are some flaws. *2023-11-30* One flaw is that in your library the app doesn’t tell you if there are new chapters. It’ll just say what you have read. So for example if I’ve read 5 chapters. The book will just say 5/5. Even once new chapters are added. The next thing is a major flaw when trying to read offline. Downloading books is pointless because if you try to access the app while offline, the app tries to load any promos or whatever but it can’t because you’re offline. So it just perpetually loads and you can’t do anything. I’ll change the review once these are fixed. ### 4/5 — Good Selection, User Experience can be better *2024-06-09* A good selection of books to choose from, I’m in the military and there are alot of times where I won’t have an internet connection so I download a lot of books. Sometimes when you choose to download a book from a certain chapter it’ll ignore it and will download the book from ch1. Sometimes the chapters won’t load when I have no service even when the book is downloaded(it loads when I switch to airplane mode though). You don’t get chapter updates and you never really know how many chapters you’ve read as it doesn’t show that. I thing I would really liked fixed is when I close the app and go back to my last read book and it’ll show where I was reading but then it shifts itself a chapter ahead then I have to find where I was in the last chapter. ### 4/5 — Amazing App *2024-05-11* The app is really good, but I think there's space for improvement in the user experience. I'd love to have the option to view books in a list format to see the full titles in the library. It would also be helpful to be able to mark all the chapters I've read in a book. The transition from one chapter to another could be smoother; sometimes it jumps to the next chapter before I finish reading. Additionally, some chapters don't show spacing between paragraphs, which I think is an issue with the HTML. Overall, I'm grateful for the app and the great work done, just hoping for some improvements in the user experience. Thank you! ## Most praised reviews (8 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love the free offline reading *2024-08-06* 1. Got to read my favorite book, Omniscient Reader’s Viewpoint, for free, while on other platforms, cost me money. 2. Little to zero ads. Only gives one at the start and ends of each chapter, no pop ups while reading. 3. If I just view a chapter, it downloads it and lets me read that entire chapter offline. 4. I can change background and fonts. 5 stars easily. ### 5/5 — Better than before *2023-12-12* The app is great. Everything loads in fine and there are lot of novels to read. I used to use NovelReader to listen to novel which was similar to this app. I just hope you can bring audio to this app for those of us who likes to listen while working instead of reading in our limited time. ### 5/5 — Love the app but….. *2023-11-04* App is great. But i bought the 3 months with no ads and it only been like 5 days and now the ads are back. I press restore purchase but it doesnt help. Emailed support but it came back as no such email. **Developer response:** We're sorry to bother you. Please update to our latest version and press restore ### 5/5 — Great app *2023-10-13* Ive been using the website for a while now, and its the best. You get new chapters as soon as they come out. Also, shout out to shadow slave, the best novel they have! **Developer response:** We're always working hard to improve the app. Thanks for your download and feedback. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2023-10-09* Great app . Tons of books to read. I have one suggestion. I’m super busy with work. So I don’t actually have time to read . So i hope you add a audible/text to speech function. So I can actually listen while I work . I don’t even mind if it’s a paid option. Thanks **Developer response:** Dear User, Thank you for your suggestions. We will try and incorporate them upcoming versions. ### 5/5 — For the app and *2023-10-08* Got my time going on ### 5/5 — Good app to keep *2023-10-07* Can’t wait till my next update ### 4/5 — Good app, could be improved *2024-01-19* I like the variety of your app just the amount of books that you can’t get anywhere else easily the major bonus in my opinion but you can improve upon is adding a text to reading function. I can’t see well, so being able to listen to a book, makes a lot easier at the end of the day. Otherwise keep improving with the app because you’re doing a good job overall. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
