1. [R2] iReader-Story 5/5 · US Love: Lots of great books
2. [R17] iReader-Story 5/5 · US Good books: Found some great writers on this app. Good way to pass the day, and great books.
3. [R23] iReader-Story 5/5 · US What I love about the app: I love it so much it has some drama and some juicy stuff when I am having a breakup I read this app I love it so much and a lot of the romance stories Is literally drama and I love drama and romance mixed together ☺︎♡ඞඩා✶✵✸✷✹✺❁
4. [R25] iReader-Story 5/5 · US Yes.: I found one of my favorite books. Took only 3 minutes to find. The one other book app I was using wasn’t working and kept me spending money so much just to read. But this one is great!!
5. [R3] iReader-Story 3/5 · US Good stories..: Love the stories….just wish it didn’t cost cost much to unlock chapters. It discourages readers who are looking for good books to read for free. I won’t spend money and end up leaving stories half read bc I don’t have time to watch ads for coins, then sit and read. I’d rather read free fan fiction online, or go to the library it’s free and you get the whole book to read at your lei
6. [R4] iReader-Story 1/5 · US Way to expensive: First of all this app asks people to give a 5 star rating to get extra coins (could be wrong, but isn’t this against Apples rules? Faking reviews?). Secondly it is way too expensive. You’ll end up paying more for a poorly written and unedited story than you would for a professionally edited best selling book. Sure you can earn some free coins but not near enough to read an entire
7. [R5] iReader-Story 5/5 · US Not free- You have to buy coins or earn daily to read: High rating may not truly reflect the app. If you leave a review, you get bonus coins to be able to read more chapters. Like most apps, I’m sure it goes quickly especially if you’re like me and read a chapter quickly. I feel these apps shouldn’t make you buy coins to read, or at least give a few chapters at a time with the coins earned and all
8. [R9] iReader-Story 3/5 · US Great books: I love the books on this app, but I find the purchase options aren’t that great. I personally purchased the weekly unlimited subscription for 9.99. I’ve gotten to the point it is making me purchase more i coins or I vouchers, which I don’t understand as I paid for the weekly unlimited subscription. This app needs to go to the same payment model as it’s sister app NovelWorld. Never had
9. [R6] iReader-Story 3/5 · US Great App: Love this app. It’s easy reading BUT it’s hard to get out of the books to do you daily check ins. I hope they fix this flaw!!
10. [R13] iReader-Story 2/5 · US Not Worth It In the Long Run: Though I found the app to be well designed, easy to use, and stable, the way it is run on the business side leaves much to be desired. With most e-book on the market running at +/- $5 USD, the cost of most I have seen in iReader run 5 time that or more. In the long term, this limited the number of books that can be enjoyed by the readers.
11. [R32] iReader-Story 2/5 · GB Cannot change font colours: Cannot change font colours so when in night mode the font colour is too dark to read
12. [R40] iReader-Story 4/5 · US Not had app for too long: I love how the stories read and the edit for the page turn is soo realistic. You do have in app purchases to get more point things to be able to read more but there are other ways to earn points too. I would recommend to my friends
13. [R1] iReader-Story 1/5 · US Cannot Log In/Log Out: I ended up with 2 accounts (one on my phone and one on my tablet). I wanted to add the app to my tablet and log in with the same info as my phone but now the account from my phone is gone along with the books and coins I’ve already purchased. Currently I cannot find any way to contact any type of support. Wry frustrating!
14. [R7] iReader-Story 1/5 · US Lost purchases: I got a new phone and lost everything I previously purchased. I have tried leaving feedback and it still does not work.
15. [R16] iReader-Story 1/5 · US Unfinished Books: Who is to blame for my money lost on this app? I like good long books.Why is it that I put my money into coins and get to a high number of coins and then the book stops getting updated?I need my money back or updated books.This company really needs to do better with the people they choose to write for them.I feel like I’m being scammed for my money.Then I have to give it a star r
16. [R28] iReader-Story 1/5 · US No place in the app to get help or complain: I really got into a book on here that was very interesting and well written and labeled “complete.” My bookshelf indicated that I was 96% or more done with this story so I was looking forward to finishing it and seeing how it ended. Instead of an ending that wrapped up loose ends and gave some type of closure, the final chapter was a modified repeat of
17. [R11] iReader-Story 5/5 · US Good but costly: I am enjoying the book I got this app to read however it is really expensive. Way more that a regular book you would purchase.
18. [R12] iReader-Story 3/5 · US Don’t do it: Most of the higher reviews are fake because you earn credits for them. This is an EXPENSIVE way to read a book that is not beta’d and gets repetitive. Find another way.
19. [R14] iReader-Story 5/5 · US Must leave for coins: It’s sad I have to leave a 5 star review just for coins.. I highly dislike this app compared to others. It is confusing.. and the chapters are crazy expensive & cost a lot of coins. There is not many ways to earn free coins like other apps. So far.. I wouldn’t have even given this 2 stars..
