Review summary

User reviews praise easy setup and reading convenience, but multiple reviews cite content quality concerns (AI-generated or non-existent titles), frequent instability (crashes, loading issues), a limited catalog lacking certain genres, and billing problems after cancellation. Some users also request features like dark mode or a page-count view. Overall sentiment is mixed: positive on usability and reading experience, negative on reliability, catalog accuracy, and pricing.

Pros

Easy setup and self-explanatory onboarding
Convenient to read, easier than going to the library
Overall enjoyable reading experience with a well-designed interface

Cons

Perceived AI-generated or non-existent titles and misattributions (content quality concerns)
Frequent instability: app won’t open or loads slowly/crashes
Limited catalog: missing Westerns, Christian titles, and modern/YA/children's books
Billing issues: subscription charges after cancellation and refunds denied

2026-07-30	Bi*****	I signed up for a 7 day trial. Early on the seventh day, hours before my subscription expired, I was charged $39.99 for an annual subscription. This was a premature decision for FREEBOOKS. Apple refused to honor my request for a refund. By the way, these books are low quality and read by an AI reader. I’m really by these inappropriate actions!

2026-07-19	Ja*****	I love this reading app as it allows me to customize the text I’m reading but it also allows you to recap on everything that you have read so far making it easy to remember everything in the story.

Some stories even mention “Ai” to sound more natural. Then they ask you to pay for more AI slop. Just another lazy company taking advantage of people for money.
