HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (229 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

7 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ The app keeps freezing &/or crashing.

Lost data, sync, backup7%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ So many apps I have deleted because for some Bizzare reason app people think people on the other end will blindly give info without giving what they have to offer.
★★★★★ Once you paid, the money is gone.
★★★★★ Notification abuse like this is a quick way to have your app deleted.
Slow, laggy, battery7%

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!
Wrong or poor results6%

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.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • Please let me cancel! 1★, May 3, 2021
  • I was charged for 89$ instead of 1 week free trial , i need a refund please , this is not fair 1★, Nov 17, 2019
  • I want an outline and summary of the book, so that I can choose to disagree with the author myself. 2★, May 17, 2018
  • It would be great if this problem can be fixed 4★, Mar 7, 2018
  • It would be great if the motivations pop up would stop asking you to turn on notifications 2★, Mar 1, 2018

Major bug issues rn

The app keeps freezing &/or crashing. Library not working at all. This was once the best app of its kind. What is going on?

★★★★★Sep 2, 2026
Dead app?

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.

★★★★★Apr 19, 2026

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.
