This app is excellent. As an avid reader, but now a new mother, it gives me achievable reading times that I feel I can conquer in the minimum time I get for myself!

Most of the classics you want in a digestible amount of time. You can push yourself to read more or be satisfied with just the effort for today. I have been surprised by how consistent I have been using the app. You very quickly chew through books you’ve been putting off for years. Highly recommend especially those with a busy schedule.

All the books you know you should have read by now, delivered in accessible, bite-sized chunks. It becomes a pleasant mission to keep up with each day's 10-15 minute section, which are delivered automatically at whatever time of day you choose. So far my experience has been that the books are sensibly and logically divided into sections almost as if that was the way they were intended to be read. I can't say enough about the work Michael has put into his continuing project. Use this app. The books are public domain and daily delivery is free. So pay the onetime $2.99 upgrade, which is the only support for the work he puts into it.

As a neurodivergent person trying to recover from burnout, I really do appreciate the pacing of serial and the accessibility of the app. I haven’t read for fun in years but I feel it slowly coming back ❤️

This app brings me along to examples of antique, wonderful craft in little tastes that make me crave more. Already I have been defaulting to Serial Reader instead of other things that feel more like a waste of time than literature.

I’ve really been enjoying this app. A one time charge of $3 is a great deal to be able to read as much as I want a day. There is a large selection of works to choose from. The creator is also quick to respond to emails and questions! I can also tell that each section/serial is hand selected: the breaking points for each day feel very natural and lead to ease of reading every day. Thanks to this app I’ve read a lot of great works I would not otherwise have picked up or found.

Thank you for this app. I might not have the time always to check on it but whenever I open it I am in awe of how it’s so easy and available in just a press of a button! Thank you very much! Can’t express further! Can’t thank you more!

Simple yet perfect. It is easy to use and gives you a perfect little chunk each day to enjoy without overwhelming you. I really like that you can earn some badges; it makes reading classics a fun little game!
