User reviews

Users love the app for its engaging children's stories and its ability to foster family reading time. However, many long-term users are disappointed by its shift away from adult content, missing previous novels and reading history. Technical limitations like brightness, page loading issues, and lack of audio features also impact user satisfaction. Overall, while the app is well-received for kids, adult readers feel underserved compared to the original Worldreader app.

Cons

The app now mainly focuses on children's books, causing disappointment among adult users looking for novels and non-fiction that were available in the original Worldreader app.
Users have lost access to previous reading history and popular adult titles, making the app less attractive to long-time users.
Technical issues such as pages not loading properly and no option to adjust reading settings like screen rotation or brightness for night reading.

Dear Worldreader, I believe you can make provision for kids below 12 and grown ups alike. I miss my library and reading challenges.
