[R2] MoboReader 5/5 · US Wonderful app: I love this app, gives you ways to get coins without buying any! The stories are intriguing and keep you wanting to read! Found my perfect reading app indeed!
[R3] 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.
[R5] MoboReader 5/5 · US Great Stories: So far, I am really enjoying the stories on this app!
[R8] MoboReader 5/5 · US Mono Reader: A great app. Doesn’t seem to have the poor grammar of other sites ! I enjoy reading from this app and would recommend it!
[R7] 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 17 Pro). Either pay or watch a ton 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 ad isn't long, but sometimes it's 2 minutes. And sometimes you wait and wait, and the 'close' X never appears (on Opera. · translated
[R11] MoboReader 5/5 · US Great story app: The stories are good and it’s easy to unlock chapters.
[R12] MoboReader 3/5 · US Great app but: I have no issues with the app except I’ve spent a lot of money on coins and I still need more to complete the stories I like. The app is easy to navigate and simple to use.
[R13] MoboReader 2/5 · US Don’t do it: You’ll get really into a book and then the ads just start glitching and you’ve spent 20 minutes just trying to get to the next chapter
[R1] MoboReader 1/5 · US Cheaper to buy the book: 500 rubles for 10 chapters. A book has 221 chapters, so calculate how much this read will cost you. On LitRes, you can buy 3 books with a subscription. At Chitaigorod, you can buy a wonderful physical book for that money. It's completely free at the library! Oh, and the ads. You watch an ad to open a chapter for free. One chapter is approximately 5 minutes of reading, and you watch 1 minute of ads, often the same one. · translated
[R4] MoboReader 2/5 · US Read: It takes way too long to be able to finish a book on this site!
[R10] MoboReader 1/5 · US Fraud!! Unauthorized Charges!!: This site is a scam!!! No matter how many times you ask them to stop charging your account they won’t stop! Your money is gone!! I’ve sent emails, chatted with their “help” and am still getting charged!
[R16] MoboReader 1/5 · US Do not pay for this they will not cancel: I downloaded this because I wanted to finish the teaser story from the ad. I used PayPal to pay and have been trying to cancel after the first week but there instructions do not work. I’m getting charged $24.99/week for poorly written stories I’m not using. Hopefully I can keep someone else from having the same expensive issue I’m dealing with. Update stil
[R9] MoboReader 3/5 · US Ok: Stories seem to not make a lot of sense.
[R43] MoboReader 5/5 · US Good Reading App: I love one of the books I’m reading only thing is the ads I hate how long they can be but worth it
