Simple and Fulfilling!
I’ve always wanted to—or rather, I know that I should read the classics, but it seemed very daunting to me. Without seeing the full length and width of a text, it’s much less difficult to simply begin. The serialization allows me to a bit at a time and have a time estimate as to how long it may take me, which I greatly appreciate. It’s nice in the context of classics specifically because the use of language can need deciphering and in the smaller portions, I have the patience to take the time to break it down (and take notes within the app so I don’t forget.) The issues (in Frankenstein, at least) are well portioned, where they begin and end makes sense, and make me excited to come back the next day! The app is very simple, I paid the ~$2.99 before I even began to read my first issue to have access to the additional features (not required) and to support the creator!

What a great app!
I’ve only been using Serial Reader for a few days, but I’m hooked! The interface is clean and intuitive, as well as being easy to navigate. The accomplishment badges and words of encouragement are a tad bit cheesy, but they can be toggled off if you like.
Overall though, this is a great way to read a book. I started with “The Count of Monte Cristo”, a classic that I’ve been wanting to read for quite some time now, but just haven’t found time to fit into my reading schedule. The notifications come each morning, (you can set them to your own personal preference), to remind me that the next installment of my novel is available. It’s typically a 10-15 minute portion that I can read with my morning coffee.
The number of titles is somewhat limited to what, I assume, is in the public domain. But that still amounts to hundreds of the great classics! These books are available through other apps, but I really love the idea of serving it up in daily bite-size portions that don’t take up too much of my day but always leave me wanting more. Kudos to the developer for a great idea.
I would certainly recommend this app!
Update, (years later): I’m still using Serial Reader to catch up on the classics. It is my go-to source when an older title comes to mind. And I still rate it 5/5 stars and highly recommend it!

The Spy James Cooper
Serial Reader is Wonderful!!! There are d no ads and so far s as I can see it even sends you the serials you subscribed to off line so you can read wherever you are. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys reading and for those who like to expand their vocabulary, The Spy by James Cooper and the Coral Island by R M Ballantyne are great places to start. You can also find these books audio recorded on YT by Librevox for free. (Bonus: if you like fast adventure and a thrilling story, Ballantyne’s book, Erling the Bold, is the best Viking story I have ever heard and I believe it is based on Terry true events. It’s free of YT)
