Enjoyed
I have enjoyed using Serial Reader for the past few weeks and I ended up purchasing the extra features. Two things I'd love to see addressed; the sync, while it works, is a little off. I complete a serial on my phone and sync. I pick up the iPad and tap sync, and it still shows the serial not completed. I would assume it would state I was done with that one for the day. I would also like to see some marking, a badge or similar on finished books, maybe I'm just getting old but I've read 12 books already and I'm forgetting which ones they were when browsing something new to read. I can just see this getting worse. I'd still like to see the detail for the summary and other similar books, so I wouldn't want them hidden.
Amazing app for book lovers
This is my absolutely favourite app, the only one I use, with dedication, every single day. It has enabled me to read, thus far, amazing lengthy masterpieces (War and Peace, Great Expectations and David Copperfield) among numerous shorter books. I can do it chapter by chapter when I am very busy with work and other life demands, or in more lengthy spells when traveling or commuting. I will use this app for the foreseeable future. Fantastic! I could not praise Serial Reader enough.
Serial Reader has changed my life!
I started reading on Serial Reader last year and finished Anna Karenina, which had been in my TBR pile for approximately 7,000 years. I kept avoiding starting it because it was such a doorstop. But I thought it seemed totally doable if I chipped away at it 10-15 minutes a day. And it was. After a few months, BOOM. I finished it. And loved it!
So now I am just two weeks away from finishing The Counte of Monte Cristo, which is also awesome! I'm just going to keep a big old classic going all the time and my eternal TBR pile will diminish.
I LOVE the encouragements when I finish an issue and seeing that percentage tick higher as I go. The daily reminder keeps me accountable.
This has been such an amazing boost to my reading life. ❤️
