Жестко

Я как бы все понимаю , очень нежно . Но платно
Даже бесплатные 3 дня заставили развернуться и сразу удалить приложение

Greed

Its making you pay a subscription or a lifetime purchase of almost 200$CAD. This is absolutely insane. Ridiculous.

Question

Hi, I’ve never tried the app before but it seems amazing and I love how u can customize and see the cover and side of the book unlike other apps that only have the words on the side. I was wondering if you search for a book and it’s not there can you request somewhere for the book to be added or something? I tried on the free part at the beginning that lets you look up one book and I couldn’t find the book I was looking for.

Response from developer

Hi! Thanks so much for the review! It’s strange because our database has 110M+ books. Could you send us the name of the book you searched for at hello@slowreadapp.com?

Incredible

SlowRead is quickly shaping up to be my favourite book tracking app. Having your own library is brilliant, the design ideas are so good and anything they haven’t thought of they actually listen to feedback and provide the updates users are looking for. Congrats to the team on a continued job well done.

Response from developer

Thank you so much for all the support! We work on improving the app all day and we’re putting so much love into it. Users like you make it possible for us to live this dream. Thank you ❤️

No free option

Unfortunately, as much as the app is cute and I would have loved it, there’s no free option and you have to pay a subscription right off the bat. With book apps like Goodreads and Fable (those have premium options for cheaper) this makes no sense.
