1. [R3] MoboReader 3/5 · US Typical: It’s a paid to read app. Stories are grossly overpriced and writing is subpar.
2. [R6] MoboReader 3/5 · US Overpriced: Love the stories but the cost of each chapter increases as you go through the book which is ridiculous. I’d spend hundred dollars just to read one book.
3. [R15] MoboReader 3/5 · US Good stories: Have really enjoyed the stories so far, but they are way too expensive for the length of each chapter. Additionally, every single story I have read is filled with typos, grammatical errors, poor sentence structure, and syntax. One of the stories I’ve read is riddled with sentences that make no sense at all. This site needs to have higher standards for the stories they are publishing
4. [R25] MoboReader 1/5 · US It's cheaper to buy the book: 500 rubles for 10 chapters, the book has 221 chapters. Calculate how much this reading will cost you. On LitRes, with a subscription, you can buy 3 books. For that money, you can buy a wonderful physical book at Chitai-Gorod. It's free at the library! Oh, and ads. You watch an ad and open a chapter for free. One chapter is about 5 minutes of reading, and you watch an ad for 1 minute, often the same one. · translated
5. [R1] MoboReader 2/5 · US Engaging stories……: Update: I’m updating because the longer I have this app the harder it is to earn coins and even making purchases rarely helps. In one week I bought 3 packages but then you have to check in 7 days to get the largest part of your purchase. Would be much better if you could make a purchase that allowed for a week of reading for a speed reader like me. 1)The stars are more for th
6. [R9] MoboReader 3/5 · US Review: Has a lot of great books. I wish you could just earn coins instead of point though.
7. [R11] MoboReader 5/5 · US Points vs Coins: The only thing i would change is being able to covert points to coins. or more ways to earn free chapters. other than that im impressed with the app.
8. [R12] MoboReader 3/5 · US Frustrating: The books on this app grab your attention and you start reading and then here come the adds, videos and buy options just to get to the next chapter after you have read all the free chapters. It’s very aggravating the process you have to go through and you never receive enough coins to go forward and the points to watch a video is a joke.
9. [R7] MoboReader 1/5 · US Holy scam batman: $10 down the drain, the weekly ‘vip’ subscription literally doesn’t do anything. I’ve been waiting ten minutes for it to go into effect so I can read this novel and it’s done jack diddly squat
10. [R10] MoboReader 1/5 · US Complete scam app: I downloaded the app to read one story that popped up on social media. The story never ends and the facts within the story changed constantly. There was no consistency to the characters. The worst part is I cannot cancel the subscription! I have contacted them and they say to use the app and when you delete the account, it assigns you a guest account and bills you again. DO NOT
11. [R13] MoboReader 1/5 · US Unauthorized charges: I have not had this app. Did not suscribe and I keep getting charged. When I contacted them, the auto reply of log in to your account - which is not helpful.
12. [R16] MoboReader 1/5 · US Scammers: DO NOT GET THIS APP! Scammers!
13. [R18] MoboReader 3/5 · US i like it: not a bad app since you’re not forced to pay for specific chapters. The 2-3 ads you must watch to read the next chapter or series isn’t so bad. i like the AI mini dramas they have even though they are cheesy. i get a kick out of this ap.
14. [R31] MoboReader 1/5 · US Terrible app (but not the worst): It loads chapters and opens books incredibly slowly, just a black screen (internet is Wi-Fi, phone is 17pro). Either pay or watch tons of ads. A chapter is 4 pages, but you watch 3 ads. I spend 4 times more time watching ads than actually reading. Sometimes the ads aren't long, but sometimes they're 2 minutes. And sometimes you wait and wait, and the 'close' X never appears (on Opera · translated
15. [R52] GoodNovel 5/5 · US Reading: So far it’s been good to read for free. The story line is pretty good
16. [R54] GoodNovel 5/5 · US Love the app: I’ve really enjoyed using this app! The stories are engaging, the interface is easy to navigate, and I like how often new content is added. It’s become one of my favorite apps for reading during my free time. I hope to see even more books and features in future updates. Great job to the developers!
17. [R56] GoodNovel 5/5 · US Love: Super great reads and very easy app to navigate
18. [R60] GoodNovel 5/5 · US Goodnovel a: Amazing can read the chapters for free
19. [R66] AlphaNovel 5/5 · US Good Read: The novel is good, the need to pay is not.
20. [R69] AlphaNovel 4/5 · US Review: I really Love AlphaNovel and the books keep you coming back, but as you read more so does the price for the chapters, I rather pay one price to read the whole book.
21. [R72] AlphaNovel 5/5 · US The Alpha King Plus Size Mate: Great story
22. [R74] AlphaNovel 2/5 · US Good reads: The books are good. App is easy to navigate. However, two stars because the reading time is not very good. I have been reading for the past 45minutes or longer and the app has yet to recognize even a minute of that read time to earn coins. Longer chapters would be better, but this is based off artist commission so the more chapters the more “coins” one spends.
23. [R80] WebNovel 5/5 · US Defying the Lycan King: This was a great read from beginning to end! It was engaging, thought-provoking, and kept my attention throughout. The author presented the message in a clear and meaningful way, with insights that were both encouraging and practical. I am waiting for more chapters but feeling inspired and with plenty to reflect on. I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for an enjo
24. [R89] WebNovel 5/5 · US More reading: Great reading app i came back to read this story. I am addicted by the introduction of it. I had no choice, but to delete my reading apps, since i am retired now and need to save money for myself.
25. [R92] WebNovel 5/5 · US Books: I enjoy reading the books on here. They are very in gauging.
26. [R94] Manobook 4/5 · US Read: I like that you can earn points to read and not always have to pay to get coins.
27. [R97] Manobook 5/5 · US Great stories: The app is pretty good. You are able to read quite a bit for free after watching an abundance of ads. I just wish you could earn more coins instead of points for reading or you could unlock for a full day after watching so many ads.
28. [R100] Manobook 5/5 · US Me encanta: ManoBook es la mejor app de lectura que he tenido hasta ahora. Las opciones de puntos y los planes y más aún los obsequios de lectura gratis, ojalá y fueran más seguidos. Muy agradecida por esta app
29. [R101] Manobook 3/5 · US Love: I’ve really enjoyed using this app! There are lots of interesting stories to choose from, and it’s easy to find something new to read. The app is simple to use, and I like being able to read whenever I have some free time. Overall, it’s been a fun reading experience!
30. [R108] MyPassion 5/5 · US My thoughts: I love this app, it’s has awesome books of all genres.
31. [R111] MyPassion 5/5 · US Love the stories: Great stories. Well written
32. [R117] MyPassion 4/5 · US Types of books: I love how there are several different types of books and genres on MyPassion, many of the books peak people’s interests while reading them or even just skimming through the book.
33. [R118] MyPassion 3/5 · US Compared to Other Reading Apps: Books have better grammar than some of the other apps I’ve read. But still same short chapters, and with this app it feels like there’s less ways to get coins besides subscriptions. I wish the full books were available for a price.
34. [R20] MoboReader 4/5 · US Love it: My first day, I read almost non stop, just watching a couple of ads between chapters. I don’t mind watching ads. It’s the having to wait to be able to earn more “coins” that bothers me. I read when my children aren’t home and want to read as much as possible, without having to pay per chapter. The second day, I got to a point where I didn’t have anymore ads to unlock until the following d
35. [R19] MoboReader 1/5 · US Watch out! Fraud: I bought $20 in coins for the free reading challenge it offered. I selected it, my coins went to it, then an hour in it stopped letting me access chapters. When I checked with the help desk they said no only VIP accounts can do the challenge (by the way nothing saying that was on the screen that you pay the reading challenge on) at that time it reflected my 2000 coins on my acco
