So that you can get the most out of your mobile when it comes to reading good books, we are going to compile the best applications to read comfortably on your mobile. Unlock your phone, grab your reading glasses, make a good coffee and download it.You have a whole world to discover!
Wattpad
Do you know the phenomenon of fanfic? Fanfic is a word made up of two others, Fan and Fiction, that is, fan fiction. A very widespread genre in the Internet age and in which amateur writers (who later, on occasion, have become tremendously popular, as is the case with E. L. James and his '50 Shades of Grey' saga) they use famous real or fictional characters to tell 'fictional' stories An application to get thousands of fanfics and be able to read them comfortably on our phone is Wattpad.
The Wattpad application is about 10 MB in size and is free. When you open Wattpad for the first time, the first thing it offers you is to read the first fanfic, but let's go in parts.In the lower bar of the application you have the navigation buttons. From left to right we have:
- Fanfics categories: mystery, suspense, romance, love, fantasy... as well as fanfics recommended by the app.
- Our library: here we can add our favorite fanfics to always have them at hand.
- A section where we can write our own stories and share them with the rest of the app's users.
- A wall of notifications featuring Wattpad recommendations as well as notifications from authors you follow.
- Profile page.
To start reading a fanfic you just have to press above the cover of one of them and start reading.
Google Play Books
The official Google application for reading books on your mobile is highly recommended for several reasons that we detail below.
- Its easy interface. Accessing Google Play Books is like accessing a perfectly organized library. It's clear and its familiar layout makes anyone who's used other Google apps feel like a fish to water.
- Audiobooks. The user can already buy audiobooks from the Google Play Books application, being able to listen to free samples before buying them.
- You can take notes in books that are automatically synced with Google Drive.
- You can read the books offline.
- Night light function. Automatically adjusts the brightness and background color so reading won't make you sleepless.
The Google Play Books app is of course free and without . Your download file is 9.10 MB in size.
ComicScreen
We continue with the applications to read on the mobile with one specifically created to enjoy comics on our phone. Its name is ComicScreen and its installation file has a weight of 15 MB. The application is very basic and works as a file browser on your mobile phone. To read the comics properly you must have them previously downloaded on your phone. Once you have downloaded it, all you have to do is search for it in the application's browser and open it. To turn the pages, simply slide your finger on the screen or press the '+' and '-' buttons that you have in the app itself.
Blue Light Filter
At night, using your mobile phone can be somewhat counterproductive for falling asleep. One of the most common sleep disorders, insomnia, is produced by the blue light emitted by our mobile phone. That is why applications like Blue Light Filter are quite important. At least, we must have an application like this installed on our phone, especially if we are reading at night, because we will notice how less tiring our sight is because the blue filter is quite aggressive.
With this application we can obtainr different filters of warm light, similar to that given off by a light bulb or an incandescent lamp. As soon as you open the app, you are informed of its beneficial properties and some tips to avoid problems with the app, such as disabling it when we want to install any app or when we take screenshots.For it to work, we will have to have permissions to act on other apps.
To make it work, press the switch that appears on the screen that will take us to the main screen to configure all the parameters, such as the color temperature or the intensity of the filter. The application is free although it has and purchases inside.
Free Books – The Total Book
With this application with a bombastic name we are going to end our walk through the applications to read on the mobile. With Free Books – The Total Book we will have access to a good handful of world literature classics that can be downloaded for free as we no longer have rights to them. In order to start reading the books in the application, you just have to click on the cover of the book. You don't have to download them in advance or anything, they are read directly from the app.
The Free Books – Total Book app is completely free and ad-free.
