It was good in the past. Now it's a buisness as usual. They started showing annoying adds. And now they promote series over stand-alone stories because former gives them more user engagement. For the same purpose only horror and romance genere is promoted. lt's a classic example of how a good idea turns into a disaster because of a ruthless buisness model.

Actually this is a good platform for growing authors to show their talents and nice entertainment for us readers. But nowadays it contains lots of ads. Oh my God I am getting really irritated due to the ads popping up while pressing anywhere. and getting stuck after some ads. It is getting bored day by day.

We apologize for your experience and have shared this feedback with our team. We'll work on improving this issue. For an ad-free experience, consider trying Premium. We appreciate your patience and welcome any further suggestions.

It takes more than 12 hours to unlock a single episode, which feels like a total waste of time. We visit the app to continue our reading hobby, but we end up feeling frustrated because each episode takes so long to unlock. It's really disappointing and annoying.

Hi, we understand your dissatisfaction with waiting time and daily unlock. We wished to keep Pratilipi free for all and hence we unlock parts daily. At the same time we wish readers to buy subscription and support authors. Hence we have knowingly kept frequency at one part per day for unlocking without subscription
