### Cons

- Excessive ads after every chapter and paid option to remove them.
- Frequent sign-in/login issues, including trouble signing in and being logged out, plus Apple sign-in problems.
- Performance problems: freezing, long loading times, and syncing errors.
- Content deletions and authors being removed, affecting available reads.
- Poor tagging and search functionality, with censored tags and limited discovery.
