Ratings and reviews

I've been using this app for 4 years nw and it's been awesome until 2023 when Free Books by WorldReader stopped showing adult content really it's so frustrating. I did not use the app for close to a year cos i lost my smart phone and on getting a new phone to finally enjoy some of my favourite books then all i find is children content. Pls something should be done about this even if standard data charges apply cos they already do.

Why would you lie to us to download this app? It doesn't work, it just displays an error message "something went wrong" what is it that went wrong? You said you access websites for free, or you meant with data bundles? Be clear. That 1 star I put is only so that I can post a review.

I enjoyed for a very long time but not anymore. If you want to "see more" feeds it will not show. At the end it will welcome you and tell you to select your friends as if you are the first time user. Can you please upgrade it if need to. I use to see more of previous years not anymore. Its frustrating.
