### 1/5 — Nothing loads

*2026-05-27*

Signed in via web to click the “I’m not a bot button”. Nothing loads, probably due to not bypassing cloudflare/recaptcha or whatever NU is using.

### 4/5 — Please add a search option in reading lists

*2022-09-28*

Works as intended, but sometimes reading lists refresh weirdly (novels will no longer be listed by most recent updates). It’s easy enough to use, however, please add a search option in the reading lists, developers! With long reading lists, saved novels become lost, and they are difficult to find again because of the lack of a search bar. Overall 4/5 stars, and I would recommend.

### 5/5 — Best app for novel reading

*2022-06-11, version 3.1.0*

…

### 1/5 — Stopped working

*2022-04-27*

Upon launching the app it crash

### 3/5 — Account Sync

*2021-10-29*

It’s mostly ok, doesn’t have built in reader so it links to external pages. Which is fine since I can still access the stuff from NovelIpdates. 

 The problem is that the account sync is super gimmicky?? In addition, there are bugs everywhere that will freeze. I used it several months ago and it was okay but recently came back and somehow it got worse…. Please fix!

### 5/5 — Works well

*2021-07-01*

Very helpful app!

### 5/5 — Fantastic App!

### 1/5 — Currently broken

*2020-12-15*

Reading list functionality current broken, errors out. Will update when it works

### 1/5 — It broke.

*2020-12-07*

Idk what happened it was working fine a few days ago and suddenly it’s stopped loading My reading lists not to mention all my bookmarks are gone and all my favorites are missing too. I even uninstalled and reinstalled it the app to make sure. It’s a shame I have to go to the website to see my stuff and read it’s not a big deal just kinda annoying

### 1/5 — Useless

*2020-10-11*

It doesn’t work anymore

**Developer response:** Try updating and see if that gets things working again. You may also need to re-login. Thanks for trying out the app
