Only Ads to Read, I'll take it!!!! This app is pleasantly easy to use and navigate. While you have options to purchase time or coins to read without ads, there are no limits or lengthy wait times to read chapters, or the cost of diamonds, etc. in order to make your reading/ story more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this app if you're tired of paying money for every chapter read.

Starting to not enjoy this app. I can live with the ads. Maybe not every chapter, however. Had to reinstall 3 times now. WILL NOT do it a 4th time. Can't reach the devs thru feedback 'cause says I don't have an email. Strange email is needed to sign in. Watched 6 ads in a row for coins but kept getting an error & no coins. This causes a glitch so have to reinstall. Enjoy the books for the most part. Am unable to delete books I don't want as they reappear. Recommendations are not interested in.

Publishing anything that has not been edited, it's just horrible. Some story lines are great, let me tell you, when there's no editing, no proofreading, storyline goes back and forth, things are put in that have nothing to do with the story itself, POVs, or point of views, should be dates sometimes, especially when you're traveling back and forth in a story. To be able to publish anything without any of these things, hurts the reader and the writer. Going back to Kindle

I love reading and not having to pay unless I want to. May have to watch ads but it's kinda like watching TV. There are always commercials. This is the best thing about this app. I have done several other apps and got stuck spending money to finish the stories. Thank you Readict for not charging and for allowing a person to enjoy their story

Overall, the stories I've read are good but there's an issue with one I'm currently reading. This story has well over 100 chapters and despite reading somewhere over 100 (chapter 115, I think) the app will open up to chapter 29 after I close it and reopen it later. I then have to scroll through all the chapters to get to where I left off. It's very frustrating. Please fix this issue.

I've actually enjoyed reading with this app, less ads, etc. If I'm ready to read the next chapter, I watch a single ad & can move on, rather than having to put off reading a story I'm really glued to, then forgetting 1/2 of what I'd read sooner (less issues regarding my ADHD that way lol). A bunch of other e-book apps, etc., have too many ads &/or don't let you open the next chapters without spending loads of $, but this has been a good 1, so far

I would give 5 stars but I hate the daily check-in system. I am on the app multiple times a day, but if I don't remember to go in to the specific area to sign in, it doesn't count it. I think I've missed almost 2 weeks total check-ins because I forget. PLEASE make it pop up when you log in for the first time every day! So many apps do it, and it's sad that this one doesn't. Also, sometimes it just opens my browser and I absolutely hate that!

The overall concept of this app is good. I don't mind ads to read a new chapter, and there are what seem to be some pretty good books on here. The problem I'm having is that no matter how many times I try to add a book to my library, it just doesn't appear in the library. Also, after I get past the free chapters and have to start watching ads, it just skips me back to chapter one after the ad instead of letting me read the next chapter.

I don't mind ads between chapters. Unfinished stories is annoying. However authors will absolutely remove the 2nd book to a different platform and you have to pay to finish the story. That's every app unfortunately and I'm not going to the end of every story before reading just to make sure that if there's more than one book I can finish it. Lol. So I've lost interest and I'll just stick to actual books where they can't be taken away

I love this app. I love that you can comment on each chapter. It makes it feel like a small little book club being able to share thoughts and guesses. I downloaded this from getting hooked on a story on a ad. I picked that preference just in case I lost it but is seems you can't change preferences later. So keep that in mind when picking. Also wish people would understand that this isn't the NYT best seller and back off the authors for mistakes.

I have always loved this app, as you really do get to read for free. The ads are every chapter which I can live with, however it's now locking up and freezing every other chapter now. I am becoming extremely frustrated with this, if it can be fix I would be more than happy to fix my rating..

I'm having a problem with it stopping and shutting down repeatedly.can you tell me why, love to read the storys but the constant stopping and shutting down is worse than the add every paragraph, 30 seconds the adds are longer than the reading time.im spending more time watching adds I won't buy from. Tha I do reading. I'm going to have to uninstall.

Loved it until recently. For the past week or so, I seem to be getting cut off of reading. During my past 1 1/2 years of reading on this app, I was able to read as much as I wanted. Now, it seems they want me to start paying. I loved it because it was free. Ad's don't bother me, I just love the stories. Please fix whatever has happened so I can read more!

Best free reading app I've tried by far (let a 15 second ad play and you can continue reading as many chapters as you want without having to pay to unlock chapters or waiting 8+ hours for the next chapter to unlock). Also, the books on this app seem to have much better editing than books on other apps I've tried (only 1 of 8 books I've read so far had glaring errors, such as "to" for "two", "their" for "they're")

I've gone through a lot of apps and this is my favorite for reading on. sure some times there's some grammer errors but oh well. I'll read about 2 chapters and that usually tells me if ill like the book. I'll sit down for maybe an hour and watch all the adds for the whole book then I can just read for the rest of the day without the adds being a problem. its so nice

The two star rating rating is because every time the "telus international" ad comes on at the bottom of the screen, the app freezes. I have to close it completely and open it up again. If and when this bug is fixed I will re-adjust my rating. The story I am reading is interesting, even a bit intriguing. I do wish the grammar was better and that there had been better editing to catch the typos and other mistakes in the storyline. If the writers are amateurs, then I say, keep it up!

This app is amazing cuz it's totally free, forever. Unlike others that have sucked me in and then out of the blue request money that I don't have to give. It has a bunch of great stories! I never knew I would like werewolf and vampire stories. But apparently I do! I'm on book 3 of a series that has horrible grammar. These aren't edited books. They're more like first drafts. Fun for free though. I just ignore the errors and try to enjoy the stories! Thanks Readict!! 💕💕💕

The app glitches too much. I get kicked out and it seems to have to do with the adds at the bottom of the page. The add glitches, my page freezes and then I get kicked out. If it was fixed I would give a 5 star rating. The app has some awesome books!!! The above issue has been fixed, but I'm now having issues with the adds not letting me exit out of them. There is no x button so I have to exit out of the app go back in and watch another commercial before it goes on to the next read.

Most of the stories I've read are pretty good. There are some grammatical errors and typos, but it's usually not too bad. Unlike all the other apps I've checked out this one is legit free. One ad to get the next chapter, which is pretty reasonable in my opinion. Especially since the other "free" apps make you use coins which take forever to get for free and buying them will end up costing you $50-$100 per poorly written book. I won't even pay that much for a real book and I love real books.

Great variety of books to choose from. And I LOVE that you can set the maturity level to avoid content you're not wanting to see!! 😍 UPDATE: Since the last app update on 5/27/24 there is a serious glitch causing the app to freeze when starting new chapters and then kicks you back to your library, or you get a pop-up from your device asking to close. This is very frustrating!! 😬😠 I'm starting to consider deleting the app if this issue isn't resolved soon. I'll give it another week. Stay tuned.
