## Review summary

Users praise Inkitt for its large catalog of free stories, indie-author focus, ad-free reading, and a writing-community vibe. They like discovering new authors and the cleaner reading experience. But they report repeated issues: the app crashes after updates, progress/history gets wiped, and bookmarking/position tracking is unreliable. Subscriptions are a frequent pain point; verification problems, unresponsive support, and ongoing charges. Many readers also complain about unfinished books and slow updates. Overall, strong content with frustrating reliability and billing problems.
