Inkitt: Books, Novels, Stories

For the most part, this app was amazing. I have had this app for a couple years and I have enjoyed reading different genres of stories without much issues like ads invading my reading. However, I have just recently been experiencing a huge app glitch. I was in the middle of reading a story, chapter 14 to be specific, and the app just stopped loading. It started with the chapter and then the app itself. I feel as though I have tried everything to get the app to continue working, I deleted it and then re-downloaded it, turned my phone on and off and even updated my phone to the newest iOS version. Every time I open the app, it’s just a blank dark page. I even tried to go externally and go through the app online, and it wouldn’t even load. And yes, I did try turning my Wi-Fi on and off and just using cellular data (which I have free, BTW) and still nothing. This is truly inconvenient because this has resulted in me deleting the app for good. I hope that this glitch is fixed soon, and maybe I can re-download the app and try to pick up where I last stopped reading. For now, it is back to Wattpad.

I gave feedback in-app but I think I’d like to retract what I said there. The search feature is good actually. I would like to be able to exclude tags from search results though, because it seems no matter what I search, I will always get mafia romance in the results lol 😭 I would also still appreciate if it would give me slightly more specific results (IE if I search for #dystopian #romance I’m gonna get a lot of non-romance books, so it seems like romance is a light suggestion lol) But the search feature isn’t useless at all, and does still take romance into account for example lol. Would like the possibility of making tags required or optional if that makes sense, but it’s still quite usable without such a feature. I apologize for my confusion in my in-app feedback, I’d just woken up in the middle of the night and wasn’t 100% I do also want to say that I love the content warning feature. That kind of thing is what other apps like Wattpad are incredibly lacking in. SO MANY people have stories about being traumatized as kids from surprise bad stuff like r*pe in stories, and I’ve personally dropped several good books because of surprise triggers, so the ability to hide stories with your specific content warnings is very very appreciated. It’s always very sad for me when I can’t manage to continue a book that I’ve already come to like :( I’ll likely be using Inkitt more often going forward. Much love.

I have truly enjoyed being able to read all of the stories on Inkitt. I have read probably close to 600 at this time and the only problem that I have is that people who are writing from another language, trying to translate into English has some continuity problems, spelling problems and grammatical errors. Most of them I can overlook or I can understand what’s being said by reading the context that sometimes I can’t, and I think it would would be a great help to all of the riders to have someone who speaks English to edit is incorrect these problems that way their stories will be. Will be able to be read by anyone who speaks English I know this is maybe a picky point but I’ve had to discard some stories because of the errors that I have found that it is hard to punctuation isn’t a big deal to me, obviously, but spelling and using words that don’t fit the context our problem I want to enjoy all of the stories here and I want everyone story to be told here so if you could encourage someone to edit these stories, I would appreciate it that’s not all stories, but there have been quite a few that have been not that I didn’t go ahead and read them but it just didn’t add anything to the story, so please please encourage English reading editors so that everyone’s story can be read. Thank you.
