Leave a Review Radish Fiction
Good stories but really long wait times
I’ve been enjoying the stories a lot and they’re very engaging but the waiting times are VERY offputting... it gets to the point where you don’t even want to read them anymore due to waiting. It also doesn’t help that the chapters are SO short. If one of those points were fixed, it would be a much more pleasant experienceShow lessMeelar03
Coins EXPIRE?!?!?!
I was enjoying this app. I don’t read a lot of fiction but was ok reading some of these stories. I was even happy to pay for coins so I read as much as I wanted when I had time.
Then I didn’t have as much time for recreational reading once uni went back and I work full time and have a child as well.
Imagine my shock, and anger, when I finally had a free hour to myself and thought about reading the rest of a story, only to find that my coins had EXPIRED?!?!?!?!
What the actual f$%^?!Show lessjavajunkie80
His royal appetite
This story is like a soap opera. Glad I never paid anything to read it. Story never ends and the plot is completely ridiculous. At times it’s like the author can’t even remember what they have written earlier in the book as the plot story lines don’t add up and many twists happen that are never resolved. I read some of it for the amusement of how crazy the story was but it just got too stupid in the end so I deleted this appShow lessriri8890

Too Much Waiting Ruins the Story!
This app has a "wait to read" format that completely ruins the reading experience. Without exaggeration, every single comment on the app features a complaint about the waiting period between each episode. You read one chapter and then you either wait one hour for the next chapter to become "free" or you buy coins to read the chapters continuously. It will cost you 3 coins to read EACH chapter without waiting. You can buy 6 coins for $.99 or $9.99 for 100 coins. The chapters are extremely short....and take only between 5 and 10 minutes to read, AND there are about 72 of them! By the time you have finish reading, you have paid well over $20 for a story that is nowhere near book-length and which is amateurishly written with a dire need for editing. Most readers are saying they're deleting the app as soon as they finish reading. I plan to do the same.Show lessBoRhap77
The billionaires surrogate
I also think that radish charges way too much to read their books. I started reading the billionaires surrogate and in order to see what the story is about from start I ended up paying almost $100 and I’mJust barely I would say past halfway. I really enjoyed the story and think that it is very well written by Jamie but gosh it’s awfully expensive which I will not be able to afford being on a fixed income so therefore I probably won’t have a choice but to cancel my subscription before the anniversary date at the end of March. Which is really a shame because I do enjoy your stories if there is any way you can just charge a lump sum per book that would probably be a lot better and I think you would have a lot more customers also I subscribed to the 200 coins per month for $9.99But because I was trying to read the book from the beginning I went through the 200 coins pretty fast and I did try to buy another 200 but it will not let me I don’t know why thank youShow lessjust memories

Hi, we're sorry you didn't enjoy your experience on our app. We're always open to ways we can improve and any feedback you may have. You can contact us at support@radishfiction.com with your suggestions.Very frustrating!!
Total rip off - each chapter is about 2 minutes long - then you have an hours wait until the next one unlocks - or you can buy coins, each chapter cost 3 coins, it’s £3.99 for 25 and so on. Because the chapters are split into about 4 paragraphs each one - it creates the book to have more than 300 chapters!! Therefore unless you wait an hour in between chapters to read for free - you will easily end up spending around £100 just to finish the book - it’s total madness. Such a shame because the book I started is fab, I’m hooked but will not spend anymore money. So I’m only reading around 3 chapters a day with all the waiting In-between. Seriously frustrating.Show lesslucyclairet

Poorly edited time wasting cash grab
I will not be reading any more stories on this app after I finish the first. The editing is terrible, the writing isn't great, and the wait is killing me. I only have to wait an hour between 5-minute pages because it's my first story ("Torn Between Alphas"), but this entire "book" would've taken me a very short time to read if not dragged out over the course of several days by the cooldown period. New chapters don't automatically unlock if you don't open the app, so you have to check it often to keep the story going, and there isn't a simple way I've found to mark actual progress while unlocking multiple chapters for later. The price of the coins to read the story at my actual reading pace is ridiculous and would still be ridiculous if it were well-written and edited. I will assume this is the quality of other available stories since it's been so highly advertised in my other apps. In which case, I have no interest in continuing to waste my time.Show lessBirdieH84

Honestly, just buy books instead. The number of stories on this app that have infinite chapters and seasons is astounding. They’re literally sagas that’s never end. Imagine a ‘book’ with 120 chapters and 40+ series (they call them seasons). Each chapter costs 3 coins. You could build your own library with the amount of money you spend for mediocre writing and incomplete books. There’s no quality control either. They don’t check for the standard of writing they publish. Twelve year olds can write better. Trust me. Stay miles away.Show lessAppleAddicted
