I wanted to hate it, but... it's not half bad.
I'll start by saying I was fully prepared to hate this app. When you open it up you can tell it has potential but it's rough around the edges. I went through it and was a bit disappointed. But then I found myself going back to the app again and again, scrolling through the free episodes. One thing about Voltage that keeps you coming back is their stories. Though the collection is small right now, the stories are definitely quality. And that's what keeps you hooked. Their selection of free titles is amazing. They don't skimp on the good stuff just because it's free. Next thing you know you're spending money. I prefer the coins option because I don't have to make multiple transactions for each story and the possibility of accumulating free coins is there. Their monthly subscription is on the right track, but with a savings of only a few dollars, the perks aren't really worth it yet. The VIP room is still in development so maybe that will up the ante. It's definitely a step in the right direction and I'll be keeping an eye on it's development. In the end, I have to concede that I really enjoy this app and can understand it's benefits to readers like me who want to spend a bit here and there when I have extra but still want to enjoy free stories without having to come back every day for 5 chapters worth. It has a lot of good things and lots of room for improvement. Don't count Voltage out just yet!

has potential, was not ready for launch
TLWR: It has potential and could be really cool but it needs to be worked on and there is a lot of content that still needs to be added.
I know a lot of people are being kind of negative but I think this has some real potential and I want them to keep working on this. It needs more content first of all. Some of the new stories they added are nice but not all of the options are available yet and don’t seem to be available until the end of December or next year. This is a terrible idea and they should just put out all the stories at once and add additional content later. Second, the coin idea is nice but there either needs to be a way to gain free coins or just allow people to pay each route. I might be in the minority but I like the idea of having the option to just pay for one chapter. If I just want to buy one chapter for whatever the reason I have that option. You should also be able to buy the whole route but having options is good. Lastly, they need to work on how the V.I.P. Monthly access membership works. Maybe run a promotion where people get a free trial to see how it works. Right now it looks like a mess that isn’t finished. As is it looks risky to pay for it right now because it might not be worth it in the long run.
