Leave a Review Radish Fiction
As good as… I guess
I only used it to read a book that had been removed from Wattpad. It’s fine and I’m about 50 chapters and no complaint so far other than the hour wait time between chapters but now any time I open the app, even after updating it, I have this, what I’m guessing is a playable ad sound playing in the background with whatever I do within the app. I have force closed so many times and no matter what I do it just plays with no way to get rid of it. If I want to listen to anything in the background while reading I can’t. I have to read with my sound on silent. Not a big problem but very worrying when I’m trying to read when someone is screaming “HELP!” In the background.
Please fix this 😩Show lesscooperman2009
Waste of money and not good for your mental well-being
Don’t bother wasting your money and don’t bother reading the reviews as they have filtered them to make it score higher. I wrote a review months ago which was on here but has since been removed (it was honest but not offensive. I have since tried to write two more reviews, neither of which has been added! Story chapters are too short, stories that were once great are serialised and ruined (I feel for the authors) and certain Stories have ALOT of toxicity in their comments and chats section which Radish do nothing about. Bully’s are allowed to mass report comments they don’t like and Radish remove them without reviewing them and ban paying users without reason but let the bully’s continue to post abusive, offensive and r@pe supporting comments! I’m actually convinced that radish has now employed some of these toxic people as their writers. I’d liked to be convinced otherwise but no matter how many times they email you to say they do not take sides, the proof is in the pudding!! Steer well clear if you want to keep your mental well-being.Show lessMeemo1
The Billionare’s Surrogate
Thank you very much for the free coins I love reading this book I cried a lot 😢when Colton and Emily had the argument over the Dr Wolf kiss. It’ll be interesting to see what Diana gets on with Prince Eucardo and I wonder if Craig will finally fall in love with Diana or will Diego come back into the scene Please pass on my thanks to the author for a lovely romance novel 💙♥️💜Show lessTio55
Overall greedy!
The app itself is really great and all works well, no bugs or issues when reading BUT you’ll be lucky to even get half way through a book! You have to use coins each chapter/ page but there’s no way to get these coins other than one “prize draw” a day where I’ve personally only ever won ONE coin a day….and that’s your luck! (Most chapters are three coins each or more - so basically takes you THREE DAYS to be able to carry on your book)The rest you have to pay for. No videos for coins, no other way of trying to get these coins - not that it’s actually necessary to pay for each chapter a time - so if you like spending a year or longer to try finish your book this is for you! If you like to actually read and get stuck in a book…good luck🙄Show lessColes2000

Hi, we have plenty of ways for you to earn Coins! Contact us at support@radishfiction.com and we can give you more information. :)Disappointed
I love the books, they’re great. Some of them are not correctly edited. If I win coins they will expired in 24 hours; then don’t give them to me. Have to wait 1 hour for every new chapter and it’s frustrating because the chapters are really short. Only two chances a day to only wait 10 minutes. If I leave the app for 24 hours I won’t have 24 chapters because I have to claim every single chapter after that 1 hour ends. I cannot go in and out of an app 24 times a day whether I forget or I have things to do. But what happened today was it for me I got very angry so I just finished a challenge yesterday and they haven’t let me claim my prize. You are taking away the opportunity of people reading so many great books by charging and those long waits if you’re gonna sell the book sell the whole thing. AND I WANT MY PRIZE!Show lessJasmiley!
Decent. Could be better
Overall, it’s an interesting format. Some of the stories are excellent. Some are trash, and not in the fun sort of way. I don’t particularly like books that haven’t been completed. Some are so many seasons it’s insane to try and read them.
I think the wait feature is fine BUT waiting an hour+ for a chapter you read in less than a minute is ridiculous. Chapters should have to be a minimum length or wait times should be shortened to 15-20 mins tops. Also I wish it had an Auto Unlock feature if it stays an hour. I don’t always have time to go in and manual unlocked ten stories every hour just so I can have 5 minutes of reading time later.
Editing should be mandatory for stories published. You are charging people, be it time or money, for a product. I don’t expect perfection but when each chapter is riddled with basic grammar and spelling issues, that’s ridiculous.
Lastly, coins should not expire. I should be able to save and use them when I want to on whichever books I want. Sometimes a story will require over 100 coins to unlock. I shouldn’t have to do that incrementally. 3 coins is a lot to unlock one chapter that may or may not only take 1 minute to read. And I have a very short time period to decide how to use them. It’s also very difficult to see which coins are still available and when exactly they expire in your history. I like it when the story will tell me exactly how many coins I need to unlock the remaining chapters.Show lessNickielynn02

Hi, We appreciate all feedback and will submit it for consideration. Feel free to reach out to us at support@radishfiction.com with more suggestions of how to improve our app! :)Books series free after 1 hour, except the last book!!
So this series I’m reading gave me a free chapter after every hour. But in the last book in the series, you have to pay with coins. First off, that is stupid to get ride of the free hour. Second of all, how am I supposed to earn these coins if your videos never “have anything available” to watch for the coin? I loved this app, but after I realized I have to pay for the last book, it’s kind of crap. I gladly spent coins when I didn’t want to wait the hour, so it’s not like you wouldn’t make anything. If all your books are like this, this is the last book I’ll read (I have to finish the story), and then I’m going to delete the app.Show lessjessynicole89
Crooked company and just a never-ending written soap opera
Not only does this “book” have no indication of ever coming to a conclusion, just like a soap opera, but the app will not allow you to use your “coins” to buy an episode, even if you have enough. If you need 3 coins to buy an episode instead of waiting, and you have 6, you should be able to spend 3 and read on. Oh no, not only would it not let me read then, but when I purchased 25 more “coins” it still wouldn’t let me read the next “episode”, but put me right back into the same vicious cycle of trying to make me buy more coins. I should be able to spend 3 coins out of 31 to read on. This is ridiculous. I will definitely delete this app when I either finish this “book” or get completely tired of the storyline. Do not recommend.Show lessWisgirlVA
Nice, but needs more work
This app is fun, however if you want to read anything for very long I suggest you look for the ones that are “completely free” because the ones that are behind a paywall are expensive if there’s very many chapters.
Sometimes the chapters are very short and I wish they’d set some sort of word limit authors had to reach before posting. The coins expire too fast, and the daily chance doesn’t seem fair at all. No matter where I click I only get the one coin option. I normally click on the same spot and the other chance cards are always in the same place. It seems, as others have suggested, made so that chances are very low of getting a high prize.Show lessSweetAffliction
Too expensive
I spent $15 which wasn’t enough to read 1 book. To buy complete e-books like these is usually less then $10. You get a free ‘episode’ every hour but they are so short that you read them in about 30 seconds. There’s much more affordable romance E-books out there. If on the other hand you have no money to spend and you’re very, very patient then download the app. There’s some good writing on there.Show lessCazz1967
