Launch Reads is the best publisher platform that I've used for getting honest feedback on my books. They really care about publishers. They always respond to me with my customer support emails, solving my problems, and they are always releasing new features and are very transparent about their process. I would highly recommend them!
Great realiable platform for getting ARC readers and feedback. Super easy to use and very good UI, has been key for success amazon launches
Always got accurate and speedy results. Highly recommended. The great UI definitely helps.
I’ve been using Launch Reads for my books, and it’s been a big help! Getting people to read your books and leave reviews isn’t always easy. Since I started using Launch Reads, my books have been getting reviews much faster. I also like that the reviews come from real readers sharing what they think. It’s helped me get my books in front of more people. I’m really happy with the results and would recommend Launch Reads to other authors!
Impeccable service! Always on time, great reviews, amazing customer support. #1 review platform by far.
LaunchReads is an awesome launch review site that does what it promises for getting genuine reader reviews for a book launch. What I appreciate most is that the team is constantly adding new features that improve the experience, it feels like a product that's actively getting better rather than standing still. Worth a look for authors planning a launch.
I started a few weeks ago. I funded my account posted a couple of books, created my bid $6 a review and everything went fine. My initial $100 dollars bought 15 review within a week. Seemed great. I refunded my account again and nothing moved. I was not sure if my books were live or not. Reached out to customer service and they simply said I need to increase my bids. I don't understand why it worked great the first time but not after I funded my account again. It has been 3 weeks with no new reviews. In the meantime on BookReverb I have had several reviews in the same time, same bid, and same books. I do not recommend this service. I have had better luck with the other services out there. I would give them 1 star but I did have success the first week, just not the following weeks.
Reply from Launchreads
Hi P. Gerard,
Thank you for giving Launch Reads a try. We understand how frustrating the slowdown has been after your strong first week.
Our Q4 promotions have brought more publishers and books onto the platform, increasing competition for reader attention. Launch Reads is a marketplace, and $6 is our minimum bid. A bid that attracted readers quickly earlier can move more slowly as competition changes.
Raising your bid was our recommendation for improving visibility in the short term while we work to improve pickups for all publishers.
We have made the dashboard clearer so you can see whether your book is live or needs action. We have also added emails to confirm when your book goes live or explain what you need to do next. If you have not seen these, please check your spam folder. We recently shipped email delivery improvements as well.
We appreciate you giving us a chance. You are welcome to check back in a few weeks as we continue these improvements. Please contact Launch Reads Support with your account email so we can check your campaigns directly.

I find that Launchreads is a wonderful resource and useful tool. I find the dashboard easy to navigate. I am so happy that they have the three English-speaking Amazon sites to help me target my audience in each of those countries.
I’ve had a really positive experience with Launchreads. As an independent author, getting your books noticed isn’t always easy, and I truly appreciate platforms that give authors a chance to connect with real readers.
What mattered most to me was getting genuine, honest feedback about my book, not an Amazon review. I wanted to know what readers actually thought about my story, what they enjoyed, and what could be improved. For me, that kind of sincere feedback is far more valuable than simply collecting reviews.
Launchreads has been a great experience, and I genuinely appreciate the opportunity it provides to independent authors. Highly recommended!
Clearly a lot of thought has gone into this.
I found the site very easy to use. Uploading my book and link to Amazon was very quick. Setting up bids and number of desired reads was easy and response was also very quick. I consider Launch Reads a trusted partner.
Launchreads has performed so well for our published books. Staggered reviews, not all 5 star which is fine - we expect honest reviews and we got them. I will continue with all 30 of our books,
Easy-to-navigate site and process. A fresh and excellent option for REAL reviews.
Terrific experience. Readers signed up quickly, and reviewed quickly, as well. The site is easy to navigate and to use; it's very intuitive. I recommend Launchreads!
Amazing service and a great option for real Amazon reviews!
Launchreads was able to rapidly deliver my needs for legitimate Amazon reviews. Would recommend to anyone.
