### 1/5 — Fix it!

*2026-08-18, version 2.5.106*

The Dawnbound heros ad will not allow you to close it. If I restart the app, it just starts over.  There is no way to get past the ad to get to the book!

### 2/5 — Needs more selection

*2026-08-13, version 2.5.106*

Needs more to the books available

### 5/5 — Great app love it!

*2026-07-23, version 2.5.106*

Please add better voices for the text to speech the current ones are so bad. That app would be 10 times better if it just had better voices!

### 4/5 — Need Ai voices

*2026-07-20, version 2.5.106*

Just add Ai reader already

### 5/5 — Got me addicted

*2026-07-13, version 2.5.106*

Only thing bad about this is that there isn’t a website for pc and that some novels aren’t there

### 4/5 — It has a smaller selection of novels but is good

*2026-07-12, version 2.5.106*

I like the different options for colour and text sizes

### 1/5 — Thieves

*2026-07-01, version 2.5.106*

They steal novels from online sites then plaster ads every 3-5 chapters. Then to address this they conveniently offer a way for you to pay not to have ads. Complete thieves honestly they should be sued and dropped from the App Store

### 3/5 — Needs updating

*2026-06-17, version 2.5.106*

Love it but this app needs updating it constantly crashes lately it's barely usable nowadays

### 5/5 — Interesting App

*2026-06-16, version 2.5.106*

Hello, 
Can you update some of the stories like Can’t take my eyes off you.. that story was downloaded 4 years ago and still waiting for the remaining chapters to be updated. I am wondering why some stories never get updated and are left in limbo. This is a sincere request to update some of the old stories so we can enjoy the ending.

### 4/5 — NovelReader

*2026-06-14, version 2.5.106*

This is app is very good and has a large range of novels….but lately there are no addition of any new novels. Also the time for novels to update per chapter for some novels is too long (try to make it 5 to 6 chapters per day).

Pls try to work on it
