Unreadable. Very disappointed. ### 2/5 — PLEASE FIX IT *2016-04-24, version 1.6.1* Used to be so great, now a few lines are chopped off the bottom of each page. Useless now. PLEASE FIX THIS FORMATTING ISSUE. I always loved the stories available ( Edith Wharton, O Henry, Chekhov), and would love to be able to use this app again. ### 2/5 — Will it be fixed? *2016-03-19* It would be an excellent app if not for the problem of cutting off lines on each page. Is there going to be a fix? ### 2/5 — Missing text on every page *2015-08-23, version 1.6.1* There is text missing on every page. I have tried changing the font size and some extra text appears but it is still not all of it. I am not sure if this is an iPhone 6+ issue only. I will have to use the website instead until this gets fixed. ### 1/5 — Errg!! *2015-03-16, version 1.6.1* Text is not adjusted to fit iPhone screen, regardless of text size. Missing so much of the story because I can't scroll down, only to the next page. ### 1/5 — Only displays a portion of each page *2015-03-05, version 1.6.1* Useless on iPhone now. Only displays half or less of each page. Good stories that you are not allowed to read ### 2/5 — Frustrating *2015-03-04* Frustrating. The text on some pages is longer than the screen in either landscape or portrait orientation, and regardless of font size. The stories are great, but the delivery is lousy. ### 1/5 — Update the app please *2014-12-17, version 1.6.1* Great app if it worked properly, it needs update. There's at least three lines missing at the end of each page! ### 1/5 — Poor page format *2014-11-29* Last line at the end of every page cuts off which makes difficult for a reader to continue reading the story. Very poor page layout. ### 3/5 — Fix the problem *2014-11-20, version 1.6.1* Hey guys, please fix this problem with formatting text on devices. In my case it's iPad mini 2. ### 1/5 — What happened? *2014-11-20* This used to be my favorite app. It has great stories and worked really well until the last update. Now the stories don't fit on my screen. Sentences are cut off and I can't read them...can't use it anymore. ### 2/5 — Used to work fine *2014-10-16* This app worked great for a long time and I enjoyed reading many stories on my phone. However, for some reason it now does not format the text correctly and won't fit on the screen properly. Several lines are cut off at the end of each page in every story I try - useless app at this point. ### 1/5 — What the heck *2014-10-11, version 1.6.1* I can't the story to fit on my I phone 5 screen. No matter way tilt my phone. This app work great on I phone 4. What happen. ### 4/5 — Great app *2014-01-15* App is awesome and has plenty of access to great stories of different genres. Sometimes characters in the type are messed up but usually works very well. ### 1/5 — Crashes *2013-04-13, version 1.6* Used to love this app until last update and now it immediately closes every time I open it. I see the list of stories and then it closes. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Good content, although the UI is outdated and buggy. *2022-02-22* It’s technically functional, you can still read stories however it hasn’t been updated in 5 years, and so it’s super buggy. It doesn’t fit the aspect ratio of my phone screen, and for some reason all of the quotation marks are replaced by â ### 1/5 — What a shame *2016-12-18, version 1.6.1* Coule be a great app with some good stories, unfortunately the missing text makes the stories unreadable. Lazy from the people who made the app. ### 1/5 — Missing Text *2016-08-01, version 1.6.1* Text missing on Ipad mini and on Iphone 4 ### 1/5 — Missing Text *2016-03-03, version 1.6.1* Of the previous reviews, the first mention of the issue of missing text is April 2015. Some eleven months later and the problem still exists so it's fair to assume that the app developers have no intentions to fix the problem. Shame because it's a decent app otherwise. I can't say if it's only an iPhone 6plus problem but if you have a 6plus don't bother, waste of time. ### 1/5 — Please fix this! *2015-12-27, version 1.6.1* Unable to read last lines of each page. Useless. ### 1/5 — Text/sentences missing *2015-10-16, version 1.6.1* This would be a great app if the developers managed to ensure there were no text/sentences missing from most of the pages. Very frustrating😁 ### 1/5 — Rory *2015-10-11, version 1.6.1* There is missing text on every page, and I am unable to scroll down to reach the bottom of the page. ### 1/5 — Format and customer support issues *2015-09-04* The app worked great on my iPhone 4. On newer phone I have the same formatting problem others have written about. Reloading app did not work, had to give up trying to read any story. Went to their Help section to troubleshoot and got a 404 error. So I had to ditch the app. Too bad it used to be great. ### 1/5 — Don't waste your time. *2015-07-08, version 1.6.1* The last few lines at the bottom of the page are gone. ### 1/5 — Would be great, but......... *2015-04-15, version 1.6.1* The words do not fit on the screen meaning some text is lost, which is a shame. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — A Must Have for Busy Bookworms *2018-02-16* This is the only short story app I can find that allows me to download short stories in groups and rate each story in a way that allows me to go back to all my favorites. The stories are great and cover a wide array of subjects. I wish it was more active still though. If you love to read but have limited time, this is a MUST HAVE! ### 5/5 — wonderful *2017-10-24* The best app ever in this categorie.
