Comments on Serial Reader for Android

★★★★★ Dawn-Renee Rice · Mar 1, 2026
As an avid reader, I'm enjoying this app!! I'm reading multiple books at once but in manageable bite size chunks. Perfect for an ADHD person like me!
★★★★☆ Alyssa Jolma · May 26, 2026
it's okay so far, will there be more books added that aren't just the classics? I'd love to be able to use this with my library app for books that im struggling ro sit down and read
★★★★★ Rehu Cooper · Nov 6, 2024
Great. Lots of classic books to choose from across many genres. I love that I can serialize my own books in to manageable chunks as well. I'm actually reading more using this app. Wholeheartedly recommend and definitely worth the premium price.
★☆☆☆☆ J P · Aug 2, 2023
Interesting reviews. I installed the app and no where is it free. You have to subscribe to read. I wasn't thrilled on the selection. It makes me giggle at these reviewers, almost seems like they get reward cookies for fake reviews.
★☆☆☆☆ Hassanat Adebowale · Dec 16, 2023
This app would be great but there are so many bugs. Especially, if you want to add your own serials after paying for the lifetime subscription. What's the point of paying if I can't get the perks?
★★☆☆☆ -0r3st3s López · Mar 9, 2025
This is surveillance, not recommended, but some content is good.
★☆☆☆☆ Sarper · Nov 9, 2023
Please be careful before you buy the premium features. The app took my money, but I couldn't get the features. This is an unacceptable experience for a new user.
