Very convenient! Thank you, guys! All the needed books are available and the prices are really attractive!
Nice app, has all the functions I need to use it as an audiobooks store and player. There is a bug though. Each time I open the player, it always opens on the first book I have purchased and listened, despite I have finished and archived that book and currently listening to another one. A bit annoying, please fix.
Good: you can buy and read books Bad: eats battery like it's caviar Ugly: the UI/UX is abysmal and full of bugs. For example, it is stuck opening the first book I bought by default. I finished that book months ago, deleted it, archived the record. And yet, every time I open the app it will redownload and open that book instead of whatever I am reading at the time
Long live the electronic library. Easy to use, great selection.
Great source of all sorts of books. Nice recommendations. Lots of users' reviews - very helpful!
Not the best app for audio books. Audio takes forever to load and start playing, you can't speed it up because then audio gets broken and the same extract is repeated over and over again. The subscription doesn't have any advantages at all - you pay for three free books but the selection is very limited. Books in English are extremely overpriced and there aren't many titles.
I like this app, had never problems using it. Only one frustration i have -- it takes sometimes 10 times to make a payment so it could go through, when i buy a book. But i'm sure it's because i live abroad, maybe my bank security issues or something. Other than that -- everything works perfect! Thank you for a great product!
The prices are not real, it's actually charge 2.5 times more than it should, 6usd becomes 52nis which should be around 20nis
Plays the books fine, but i lack customization and want to use it as a book player mostly. Cannot turn off notifications and suggestions of the shop.
Great books collection. And affordable prices. Love it.
There was a minor payment problem in the beginning, but the client service immediately solved it
Love this app, easy, intuitive, simply perfect Great user experience
A lot of audio books. Very easy to use even in the car when I drive.
I love LitRes, it is so iseful and convenient to read.
Easy in use, low prices, lots of books in different languages. Highly recommended
Noticed strange behavior. I received notification that the book I was reading, is returned to library, but it still present under My Books. When I try to open that book, it shows just blank screen. I can not find an option to open that book again. It happened already with the 2 books I was reading. I had to clear data from the app settings, the login again and only after that the book disappeared from My Books.
Great books! The app has relatively approachable price for the books (still cheaper than a hardcover). Some Russian classics are actually free! I like that there are occasional promotions and sales. The app is easy to navigate. Great stuff!
This is a very good app, with wide selection of books. However, I randomly have issues with payments - every now and then I pay for a book, money is taken from my card, but book is unavailable. I got the response from their support once or twice, but they stopped responding to any of my requests. So be careful and watch out for your money.
Absolutely awful, doesn't load books properly, defaults to a book I looked at months ago that I hadn't bought. Constant issues
My favorite app for reading sbd listening books. Want to buy more and more. Lots of great books! Such a big variety. All books have feedback sp it helps to choose snd buy. Low prices. Fantastic support. Helps to solve any problems if it happens. All working great! Love and recommend it! With this app I can read books every day. I live overseas and app helps me to find lots of books on my native language. Thanks developers!!!
terrible for making bookmarks and notes. I like to highlight and make notes while reading, I am unable to highlight the exact abstract. I'll have to do it hundred times and at the end I just give up. I love using Kindle or iBooks, but this one is a nightmare. But for now this is the only source I know that has these many books written in Russian language.
Okay-ish app that causes occasional frustration --- Pros: 1) books in different languages (not just Russian) 2) Embedded player for audiobooks 3) Lots of free literature (mostly classical) --- Cons: 1) Very slow 2) Bad usability of reading mode 3) Some books are in a format not supported by the app (?!) 4) Recommendations are not personalized 5). (!) When you are offered a free gift: you're given limited choice, the discount books are MIXED with free ones and the is NO search or sort option!
An undemanding and easy to use app. Good variety of books (however the majority is in Russian). The only drawback of Litres is it's poor search and filtering feature so you'll have to scroll a bit to find what you need.
Two years later still one star. All issues still relevant. Do you check your competition? Have to delete a few mins after installation. Where is option to use system brightness? Where are warm backgrounds? Where is continuous smooth scrolling that even free readers have? why in custom scheme I can not use own custom backgrounds or at least own customs colors. Had to delete anytime I install it. Pls check your competition. Amazon spends millions to develop app. Might be good idea to get ideas.
Great app, but recently too many audio books have started to show up in search results. Would be great to be able to filter audiobooks out completely, otherwise it's very confusing
Great app. To make it perfect allow us to download books as a file in specific format via app.
I have zero problems with reading interface, other than it lacks some customization options (like hotkeys for example). But shop, search and library menu is absolutely the worst app experience I ever had. It's just slow and buggy as hell. Takes forever to load search results, takes forever to do basically anything on the main page, extremely buggy when it comes to payment, random errors occur every now and then.
