## Inkitt Reviews in South Africa

-- steelmystic🍃, 2024-08-13

### *---- "Deleting and downloading"
I have to constantly delete the app and dowload it again. It freezes and nothing happens
-- Nmfjj, 2024-05-28

### ****- "Wonderful app!"
App works very efficiently! Enjoying the stories! Can’t fault the app for occasional grammatical errors.
-- Doricad, 2024-01-03

### ***** "Best read app"
I love the fact that Inkitt doesn’t give limited offline books, and the format of the app is just incredible. This app is underrated, it needs a lot of attention for its features. I’m a constant reader and I highly recommend this
-- 제ㅔ시, 2023-02-14

### ***** "I love Inkitt"
This is the best reading app out there, as well as the best writing platform in my opinion. 

I’m a writer myself and I have to admit that Inkitt has made me able to publish my works efficiently. As a reader I also highly recommend due to the library that archives every book you save and makes it easy to read offline too! 

The Inkitt Team is quick to respond to emails whenever anyone has issues and they have always received me attentively. Thank you Inkitt Team for your great work, I hope it stays this way.
-- JMKS_, 2023-02-09

### ***** "Just need one little thing"
DARK MODE!! My eyeess XD I'm so used to everything on my phone being on Dark Mode, I struggle to stay on the app for a long time. But that's just me, but would be GREATLY appreciated if it could be implemented :D
-- Megsieunilover, 2022-08-08

### ***** "Thank you!"
The opportunity to choose from hundreds of free stories? I think that says it all.
-- kakashikarma, 2022-06-30

### ****- "Love it"
This app is used so much on my phone that it’s the only app Siri is suggesting I open all the time. Just a technical thing when I go to the page to read comments and replies on my reviews there is no way to go back to the library. I have to close the app and open it again? As far as the reading and user friendly goes this is awesome!
-- mel9339, 2022-03-25

### ***** "YOU are the BEST"
I am a reader- I love the on the go library that you have created for domeone like myself. I love this App and give it 10/10.
-- Simbekelele, 2022-03-15

### ***-- "Great"
Great app, I love the fact that it doesn’t have ads between chapters but you can go to the next chapter and it shows a blank page for days until it goes back to normal on its on
-- regalmary, 2022-03-08

### ***** "Love"
❤️❤️❤️
-- Tanz154, 2022-01-06

### ****- "Dark mode please."
Absolutely love the app, but can we have a bit more in terms of the overall view settings? Dark mode? Font size? Font type? Etc. The bright white background is really annoying. Other than that, I enjoy the app!
-- SnappingTurtle3, 2021-08-10

### ***-- "Not responding"
Its a great app but recently the app won’t oped even if I uninstall and itstall it. What can I do?
-- z3lli3467, 2021-06-26

### ***-- "Issues"
I have been having issues with this app for the past week. I’ve deleted and downloaded the app every day and it works for the first few hours and then it stops working. In certain chapters of some stories, the app freezes on a blank page. Can anything be done? Because I am getting tired of having to delete and download the app everyday. When I re-downloads it, all my stories are mixed up and now it’s getting frustrating.
-- MissyMAB, 2021-05-19

### **--- "Software update"
Since I updated the app it now freezes :( so disappointed as clearly there is a bug
-- TTM 1978, 2021-05-14

### ***** "Great App"
This is the best reading app by far. I had no glitches and it’s user friendly. There is a wide variety of books and no irritating adds and pop ups. Love it and would highly recommend Inkitt to everyone.
-- Erika4444, 2021-05-02

### **--- "Ouch"
This is the obviously still in beta so there are some major hiccups that will hopefully get smoothed over. I can’t open any books at all and I just downloaded it as one of my favourite authors moved to this platform.
-- Mai-Jean, 2021-03-21

### *---- "App malfunction"
The app just loads and loads... i cant read my stories at all the whole app looks empty.
-- Notha23, 2021-03-11
