Serial Reader App Reviews

Im really enjoying the hell out of this app. The bite-sized issues make it easy to reach a daily reading goal and leave you motivated to keep reading the next day. They have a good selection of books from different genres, and if you start one and dont like it, switching it out for another takes about two seconds. I got the full version because I like reading more than one book at once (so that if Im not in the mood for, say, horror, I have an adventure story to turn to) but the free version is more than enough for those who prefer to focus on one book at a time

I love this app! I have been digging into classics I have been meaning to get to for so long. Its so nice to have them in these great little chunks every day. And I love getting achievements and encouragement from the app. I wish this app existed when I was in high school and college. The classics are much less intimidating in this format!

Im a lifelong reader, but havent read as many of the Classics as I should have. This is a great way to tackle them. They have a selection of many authors and categories. The books are divided up into daily reads, and to add even more , you also are awarded badges for different levels. Give it a try.

I like the daily read thing because it help me put thought in what I read and not rush to finish it. I think that companies should start doing this concept.

The library available is varied and rapidly growing, the font options are extensive, the interface is all easy to use and pleasing to the eye. I love the encouragements and achievements! The app is clearly a labor of love, as it is constantly being improved and new titles added. Its a perfect app for getting reading done in those spare moments during the day when youd usually be browsing social media! There is a paid version, but its only $2.99 and the app is great with or without it. I found it worth the $2.99 because it allows you to make a "read later" list and read ahead when youre on a roll! I was happy to support the creator of such a great app!

I wanted to read more, but I didnt have the patience or the time for a big book. Ive always believed that small amounts of time applied to anything over long periods of time could produce big results. My children learned to play piano by practicing just 15 minutes a day over ten year. Ive finally applied that concept to my own life and Im reading lots of books slowly. It feels great and I look forward to my issue every day. I wanted the option of having the app sync across devices and to read ahead when I wanted to so I purchased the premium version. Im so glad I did. I love this app.

This app works beautifully. I look forward to my daily portion and am reading more classics than ever before. The translations are well done - very readable. For $3.00, I added the option to read more than one portion a day, and it added a large choice of additional fonts.

I think the app is great and have enjoyed many of its features. I would ask that you add an ability to mark books you have already read before using the app as finished. Would be a great way to track them all. Thanks!

I was loving this app, but have not been able to access it for over a week. Immediately shuts down when I try to open it. I had hoped update would solve my problem, but sadly didnt.

Its great for those of us who spend so much time reading that we never have managed to fit in those classics we keep promising ourselves. I just wonder if it will ever take off with those who could really use it, those who see reading as a challenge instead of a pleasure. I hope you can find a marketing strategy that will bring these books to those who would never read them otherwise. Thanks for your time and effort

What a wonderful little surprise, and such an encouragement to encounter or reacquaint oneself with such good stuff - and serialization was a common way to consume many of the originals. While I look forward to UI improvements and refinement, I decided to not allow that to influence the rating - being vastly more interests in the titles which will be added. Bravo! (and thank you)

If you really want to read what you have always wanted to read, try this app.

Great free classics

Fun idea to read some great books I probably wouldnt have otherwise.

This app is outstanding! Ive been looking forward to reading a classic but due to my hectic schedule, I never found time. This app sends about a chapter a day so its super easy to fit in between appts! No glitches, loads fast and tracks my daily reading goals!

But the losing a place in a book is a major problem. Hope the developers fix that.

just got this app and read 1 issue, Ive been trying to get back into reading but I dont want to buy new books and carrying them in my bookbag weighs it down. Havent played around with it enough but really nice right now

This isnt a perfect app and the missing elements make it seem amateurish, which it probably is. It is wonderful all the same. It is such a simple concept and somehow so charming. I wasnt reading novels and havent for some time. Reading makes me feel like I am growing and I am reading and growing once more. Its a wonderful feeling and it seems so amazing that a simple and flawed app can do that, but it has. For that reason, Ive given it five stars. I wish I could look up words and that I could sync this across multiple devices. That would make it nicer. I hope that that will come. In the meantime, I am waking with anticipation of my short morning reads.

I love the idea of Serial Reader. Getting bite-sized issues of classic novels is pretty neat. The app is designed very well, but there are some issues. It would be nice if you could select text so that you can use iOSs built-in Dictionary to define words. It might also be better if your issue was delivered at midnight the next day, but you got notified at your preferred time. That way if youre early one day, you dont have to wait to read.

Gr8. I wish for those with a really large number of issues you could read more than one daily because I feel like Id forget a lot of details over time.
