★★★★★ Notification abuse like this is a quick way to have your app deleted.
5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ Was really excited to find this via LA Public library but after downloading it, I found the App to be slow and it would close by itself constantly.
★★★★★ However, the .75x audio speed is too slow as well and the narrator sounds like a robot.
★★★★★ For the last few weeks Instaread (if it opens - currently just crashes on my iPhone) is INCREDIBLY slow!
4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ There is no other payment plan or option and the entire app is essentially useless.
★★★★★ It's poorly coded, there is no account information, subscription summary, nowhere where I can cancel right away a wrong subscription fee.
★★★★★ Every “key takeaway” started with the author's opinion and ended with the instareader's “facts” about why the author or their interviewees are wrong.

Love Instaread. Makes you powerful. Audio articles are very useful.
The app keeps freezing &/or crashing. Library not working at all. This was once the best app of its kind. What is going on?
Fairly certain this is a dead app. Any emails to support get ignored, app can’t hold more than 20-30 saves in the library and new books haven’t been added.
Spent 1 hour trying and creating to login to the plan I signed up for. Doesn’t remember. Always asks me to sign up again. Tried numerous fixes. No luck. They need to FIX this before selling this app.
