Request/Offer Constructive Criticism
Request/give upon request constructive criticism.
Reviews are great, but don't serve the same purpose and like every other rating system can be used as a popularity contest or revenge outlet. It would be nice to have the option to request constructive criticism (some authors may not be interested) and for readers to offer notes to those authors who make their manuscript open to this input without it being part of rating based system.10 votesHi there,
we are currently working on a concept for advanced community editing.
It will come in the next 2 months. So stay tuned and thank you very much for giving us this idea!

Make it easier for mobile readers to be able to leave feedback.
At least 20+ people have contacted me to say they have been unable to leave feedback via mobile reading. This gives an unrealistic analytic view because I am not able to get feedback. I have 22 comments when I know I could have had nearer 50. Just something to think about for future changes.
Kind regards
Laura10 votesHi there,
we just released nested comments, so a second layer commenting on chapter comments for better communication and feedback giving.
We also work on an advanced community editing that should come live in the next 2 months which will enable readers but also peer authors to give clear and helpful feedback.

work with other formats than just Word.
I'd like to see Inkitt work with other document formats. I don't use Microsoft Word, and I don't have it on my computer. I recently uploaded a novel to Inkitt, but I noticed a couple problems. I stupidly used WordPad to correct those problems before uploading again, and WordPad completely messed up my formatting. (Because my novel starts with an epigraph in italics, the whole document was now in italics, but because I'm unfamiliar with the site and the process, I didn't realize until I was almost finished with the submitting process.)
Allowing for the upload of an open format…

Provide a story's vital statistics in its listing
I'm delighted that Inkitt is hosting both fanfiction and non-fanfiction, but I need more to evaluate whether I want to try reading a story than merely a picture and sentence fragment. I want to know the following:
- [Required] Title:
- [Required] Author(s): - make sure multi-author stories are well supported!
- [Required] Genre(s): (e.g., Sci-Fi, Fantasy, Romance, Humor - these are not mutually exclusive!)
- [Required] Rating: (use a recognizable system, please)
- [Optional] Trope(s)/Theme(s)/Motif(s): (e.g., Hurt/Comfort, Peggy Sue, AU)
- [Required] Whether or not it's fanfiction
- [Optional] Fandom(s): (if it's fanfiction)
- [Optional] Pairing(s): (specific character names if it's fanfiction, genders and multiplicity either way)

Allow bookmarks or marker
It would be great to place a marker where I stopped reading. When I return to finish the story I could easily find where I exited.

please make this site able to center the text
The story I'm currently writing needs a text to be in the center of the page so this way it can be what I want. I'd appreciate if you can do this
Thank you,
UnknownDiggerP.S. please make this site able to have indentions for paragraphs, that would be lovely.

Allow authors to promote their own work, and offer at least one free promotion from Inkitt.
This website seems like it intends to promote new authors but doesn't do it as well as it could. Allow more space on profiles and provide us with link space that doesn't take up our short biographies. And the biographies section is too short. 200 characters only? That's little more than a Twitter post and says little to nothing about us as authors.

a progress bar to indicate how many words you have wrote for the next chapter
With the progress bar, you can indicate how many words you have already write for the next chapter... Like the nanowrimo stuff. You put a goal on your bar (for example 2000 words) and you have an indicator of what you did (example : 1456/2000 words). And then, the lector can see if the chapter is coming soon or not.

Freeze the top and chapter menus
It would be great to have the top menu frozen so it's easier to navigate the site. this way all of the main links are available to the user regardless of where they are on a page. Also, maybe freezing the side menu with the chapters list in the writing section, as well, would make it easier to work. Either freezing the chapter list menu or allowing it to move freely and separately from the writing section would be great!

Announcing the picture insertion in chapter.
I found out by accident that inkitt does offer the service of adding pics in the chapter. I really like that and was really disappointed that most inkitt users didn't knew about that. I spread the word as best I could. I would like if inkitt spread word about it.
