Instafreebie - Free books on your device for Android
To be honest, I don't really understand it. The book is usually automatically sent to my email, and from there I send it to kindle. I never see it on this app, unless they're older books that I've downloaded in the past. I guess I'm doing something wrong.
I am frustrated because I have to go online every time to get a password emailed to me and cannot put in the password I would like to use. Otherwise, I do like the app.
While I love the free book opportunities, Instafreebie is not that great at handling the mobi files for Kindle. Anything that was sent as a direct download is still useless even after following the help instructions.
One of the best and most useful apps I've downloaded this year. It gives me access to all the books I have requested, I've even found books I accidentally erased. It helps me save space on my tablet by only downloading books when I want to read them.
I wish it gave us the option of deleting books if we would like to. It would also be nice if the books could be sorted by genre, and if we could mark them as read. If you have a lot of books, it's hard to remember what's been read!
Had difficulties reading books in the beginning but the system seems to have received an upgrade and I can now get the books. Very happy now and the service provided to me by the Instafreebie team was timely and helpful.
This app made it easy to find the books I've downloaded from all the authors I'm subscribed to but it'd be much easier if I could view my library in another mode (why can't I see my books on a shelf across the screen instead of scrolling from book to book?) It's inconvenient to find books on this app if you have to many, there is no sorting involved really. It would also be sooooo amazing if the books came with a blurb/synopsis so I know what I'm reading...I like the app but coming from someone with a TON of books it's not very fun to use :( Please make some updates to this app as I will be using it frequently and don't wish to be disappointed.
I love the app. It's much easier than emailing files to my Kindle. The one thing I would like to have added is the ability to remove a book or change something so that you can mark that you have read the book
I don't have a computer so this app makes it easier to find the books I download through InstaFreebie, on my phone. Keeps ALL of them in one nice neat place.
I loved it at first but now for some reason it won't download my books to my Kindle...they just never appear, and when I download and save it say bad file can't open...several different books has done this to me..it would also be great if you could scroll through the selection of free books that are currently on offer...
Getting my instafreebees on phone was always a hassle before involving USB cables and file hunting. Now every book I claim is available on one app for my reading convenience.
I initially thought I would be able to read books in the app, but it looks like instead it's a relatively painless method to download books into the Kindle app (or, presumably, whatever else you use to read on mobile devices). Keeps my downloads easy to sort, much less complicated than any other method of getting books onto my phone, and if I delete something off the device, it's easy to re-download.
Seems to work well so far. Haven't used it to much.
I love it. I can download from my daily emails, the books I want and they go right to the app until I'm ready to put the one I want to read on my reader. Great app, thank you!
I love it. I have gotten so many books, it will take me months to read the!m all! And I am always adding More books.
At first it was confusing, but after the update everything was smooth sailing. I love the books and that they are free
I already downloaded a book but i cant open it...it says you dont have necesaary app installed...i dont even know whatbi have to install?
I like that I can see all of my instafreebie books in one place, but I still have to manually move them to my Kindle via email.They do not tranfer over for me using the Move To Kindle button, so for me, this is just a viewing/storage bin. Wish I could figure out how to make it work for me using the kindle apps on my tablet/PC/laptop/mobile devices!
This is a very difficult app to use, and I use many apps! I don't know what the problem is. I haven't seen anywhere to get help!
I love this app. Books are easy to download from the Instafreebie site. I have found so many books to read. I haven't stopped reading since I downloaded it last week. Thanks
Have enjoyed the books that I have downloaded. Several new authors that I have not read , and really love the fact that I can find them for free.
Like that I can see all my books without emailing them to kindle but, as others have said, it would be nice to have a sort order and a way of deleting books you've finished with.
Ever since I downloaded this app, claiming a book has become a nightmare. I have been to see the fail whale more times than I can care to count. What is it that is not adding up?
Handy for reading books already downloaded from the website but could be so much better if you could also select new books from within the the app.
Easy to use ..can download books very well..I am not great with technology..so feel really pleased about that. The choice of free downloads is interesting and enjoyable.
Struggling to use it. But have managed to download a few books which I am enjoying.
I LOVE INSTAFREEBIE APP for Android
What a great app! It has tons of reading stuff that are really good and the best thing is it's free! Plus the files are easily sent and read on kindle.
I don't really see the point of the app as I use Kindle to read my books. If one could get the books from the app (i.e. there is a link from the code in the emails) then it could be useful. As it is I don't really use the app.
It is great except it seems to have problems uploading to Google Play Books. Otherwise, very good.
Instafreebie was easy to download and offers a lot of cozy mystery books. I find myself reading more and thoroughly enjoy them
Absolutely love this app. Wish I had discovered it ages ago. Very easy access to all the books I've wanted.
I love this app. Does what I want it to do. I subscribe to Instafreebie and get free books. I download my selections using the IF app and read them later via Kindle on my phone or Kindle device. Get this app and Instafreebie and enjoy. I am a 75 year old male.
This app seems to be nothing more than a library for the books that are downloaded from instafreebie. This app should have books available to be downloaded.
So far the app works great but the emails everyday asking for a review is annoying!!!!!!
You can't even change the password from the one they give you. It might be nice if you add a profile that you can edit
I find the application excellent very user friendly and easy to use. I like the idea the books go onto the app into the library. Instafreebie have some very good and worthwhile ones.
I like the app but it would be better if I could browse all the freebies and select new books to download and read in app
The instafreebie app works easily with the instafreebie website. The website was easy to browse for books I wanted to read. I am looking forward to finding more of their weekly books, or searching their giveaways!

I really like this app and it handy having all books in one place. But there a few downside i can not see how to delete a book i no longer want.( went on youtube to find out. But different feature.)and i downloaded a book which was good and it comes up with three more books which is great. I saw a book i like but mistakenly press back button. So lost it. So throught if download book again would come up. But did not. Would be nice if each month a list of instafreebie books was available. I know we do get emails with different genres. But seem less and same books over and over and would be nice if i could get this app on my kindle and laptop (sorry about essay)
