Common complaints
- ✗Downloaded and read books disappear after updates58% of mentions
«I used the app for many years. And one day everything disappeared. I wrote to support: "Where did my books go? The authors I was subscribed to?" They said: "You never had any subscriptions."»
- ✗Entire authors and series disappear from the catalog32% of mentions
«Where did all of Dontsova's books suddenly go? Sure, they used to remove them selectively, but today I logged in and there isn't a single book by her. Out of 80 books from my favorite author, I can now reread 7.»
- ✗App crashes, glitches, files fail to download18% of mentions
«Books that were downloaded and read disappeared somewhere, some authors vanished, and if you find something, it won't let you download it—says the file is not found.»
- ✗Intense ads that are annoying and lengthy22% of mentions
«Ad every two pages, very annoying, it wasn't like this before. The ads are killing me. How many times do you have to tap to keep reading? It's ridiculous.»
- ✗Broken search — returns everything instead of exact matches8% of mentions
«I type "The Surgeon's Heart" in the search bar. Your app returns me a bunch of books where those two words are used separately, not together.»
