dispite being ages 17+ there are many YA books although I wish it had an audio book mode that was free and it has many books I have to read for school

So glad you’re loving it! 💫 We’re happy you’ve found plenty of YA books (and even school reads) in the collection. Thanks for the suggestion on audiobooks—we’re always exploring new features to make the app even better!
Search completely non-functional
FreefallPhoenix
This app is great for picking up and reading things- I’ve read quite a few things myself already and the experience is well-done. But the search for specific books or authors does not work at all, just showing the most “popular” books regardless of what you search, meaning it’s hard to find any particular book at all. It may have a big selection but there’s not much point if you can’t search for it.
Developer Response
** Update **Quick followup - we’ve completely rebuilt our search with a new database in the latest update. You can now filter by title, author, genre, and more—making it much easier to find exactly what you’re looking for. We hope you’ll give it another try and see how much smoother searching feels now!** Original Response **Thank you for your feedback! We're so glad you're enjoying reading with Freebooks. We completely understand your frustration with the current search experience. We're actively working on a major update to improve our search architecture so it will be much better at finding specific books and authors. Thanks again for highlighting this — it's really helpful, and we appreciate your patience as we make Freebooks even better! 🙏
Dark mode?
!Lacey09
It’s an amazing app, I love it so much, but there doesn’t seem to be a way to turn on a dark mode, and the light mode hurts my eyes. Is there a way to add the feature? Or is the feature hidden somewhere in the app and I just can’t look. Overall amazing app though, have loved reading on it so far.
Developer Response
Thanks so much for the kind words—and you’re absolutely right to call this out. App-wide Dark Mode isn’t available in FreeBooks yet, but it’s a top priority and we’re actively working on adding it in an upcoming update to make reading more comfortable, especially at night.In the meantime, you can already customize the reader colors: while reading, tap the screen, tap the menu button in the bottom-right, then tap Customise View to adjust the appearance to something easier on your eyes.We really appreciate you taking the time to share this feedback, and we’re excited to get Dark Mode into your hands soon. Happy reading!
Love this app, but
heysoap
I wish the books had pages. As someone who tracks the amount I read in pages, not chapters, I would appreciate if you could add a page function for the readers that want it along with the chapter layout for the readers that like that format
Developer Response
Thanks so much for the feedback and for loving FreeBooks, heysoap! We hear you on wanting a page view—tracking progress by pages is important for many readers. We’ve shared your request with our product team to consider adding an optional page-based display alongside the current chapter layout in a future update. Happy reading! 📖
