Royal Road Reviews

Unbearable Ad

Fallen Sword on

United States

There is an ad that routinely pops up on tis app thats is a white flashing bar that continues for minutes at a time. It is insane to me that a reading app would have something so obnoxious.

App is *really* laggy.

Shfifndbduhxxhejsj on

United States

I think this is a problem which started with the most recent update. The app has been making my phone really hot and lag so badly that it freezes and I cannot even access notifications or the control panel easily. My phone runs games fine, so a giant wall of text shouldn’t be doing this.

I love books

And I love to read them here

Can’t listen to music while reading

Onequestion0110 on

United States

For some unfathomable reason, an app meant to just read stuff insists on taking over my phone’s speakers and stopping my music. I’m not going to be using this app until an update fixes the issue

Authors can control there ratings

Spike123345566 on

United States

I don’t think is fair that authors can control there stories ratings. If someone comments about something in there book they are writing they can block them from even rating books. I think it great that authors can stop someone from commenting hate speech or anything like that but to even stop them from rating and reviewing there story makes it unfair for all of the writers out there that don’t do that and there story get effected negatively. A lot of the stories on here gets picked up on Amazon kindle and there rating the stories get on here can effect the chances and stuff like that. Less say they have a million views and almost 5 star rating that looks really good for them. But if the author blocks anyone who says a something negative in the comments section from reviewing or rating the story then they can keep the review rating up. I have seen some story have a negative review then it has been removed later so I thinking they may be even able to remove negative reviews from there as well, but hoping they just change there mind later because that be very unfair for all of the authors that takes remarks and reviews fairly and keeps amazing rating from there hard work.

Great, but keeps stopping my music

JamesMcDonals on

United States

Love the app, but recently it will stop my music when the banner ad changes. I don’t even think the banner ad has sound, still stops the music. It is very annoying, and I’m likely to just use the website at this point.

Overall

The Sacred Panda on

United States

The app is basically the same as the website, maybe some slight variance in customization but the one thing that made me choose the website over the app was the fact that if you listen to music on the app the music stops every min whereas in the website it doesn’t do that.

Love this

Ihatethattheymadememakethis on

United States

Writing this review just to plug it tbh. I want more people to know they can read cool books from a pretty well functioning app. I like that I can choose where the ads are positioned

Awesome

Poppizza#1 on

United States

First off, plenty of content to explore. Everyone from newer authors trying to build audiences to some experienced authors writing free novels for others can be found on this site. Secondly you, if you don't want to pay the small proce to go adless, you get to choose how you experience the ads, which is really cool. Thirdly, very easy to start building a small audience for new authors trying to find out how to connect with there communities. Love it! Could use more dragons tho

Pretty neat

Godly Time Wizard on

United States

Works well wish there were more adds for actual books instead of Amazon products and scams but just buy premium
