Inkitt: Books, Novels, Stories 12+

Don’t get me wrong, Inkitt is awesome. I love that I’m able to read stories by upcoming authors, download them for offline reading and potentially see the stories be published by the Inkitt Team themselves.
Now, a question. Do I have to re-download my stories every time there’s an update? I’m asking because I downloaded a story before the update, but when I did it and opened the same story, grey lines appeared instead of the text. When I reopened the app online, it took me back to the start of it.
Some suggestions - I know the app automatically saves my position, but can you please add bookmarks? I like to skim ahead and would love to be able to get back to where I was. Also, blurbs. Half the time, I do not know what type of story I’m getting based on the short descriptions (which are usually the first few lines of the story) supplied. Maybe make it so the authors have to write a blurb before they publish? That would make it easier to find other stories in a series too.

It would be amazing if there was a battery saving option or something as I like to take my iPad on trips to read. I came from wattpad but didn’t like how it only allowed users to save two books without premium, but it also didn’t use up the battery it making it last a couple of days without charging. I have found with Inkitt after a few hours my battery percentage is very low. Don’t know if it is possible but I would love if it can be developed into the software. Still love the app though!

Absolutely love Inkitt and I’ve been on here for years and years. I’ve been using the app for the last 1/2 years now (originally online on a laptop and now on my phone) and never had a problem until now.

A few weeks ago, noticed how the chapters weren’t loading like normal so I had a feeling that the app glitched, got out and tried again, still didn’t work. Uninstalled the app and then reinstalled, still didn’t work, searched it up (said to do what I already had done) tried it all again, with no luck.

So stopped reading for a few days thinking it may resolve on its own, no. I’ve done the whole uninstall and reinstall all over again and nothing is working.

I’ve had to resort back to the online method (which I now hate because the app was super easy and convenient to use) just to read my books, including the books from the paid subscriptions I have.

Tried some new books tonight thinking that maybe it’s just subscription books because the free ones were working before.

No they not working now either, you just get either the first paragraph of writing or nothing.

It’s gotten to the point where I think I’m just going to cancel my subscription and stop using Inkitt and move on to Wattpad or something because at least their website is a lot easier to use on a phone.
