Not getting what you paid
Ok I first gotten this app about a year now and you have to pair with taxes on cdn 12.64 a month but this only gets you to read the free vip books but you must pay SP points for other books and they all have different prices for each book. . So you get about 450 Sp a mth for that price but if it’s not a free book you might only be able to pay for 20 or 40 chapters a month on 1 book. Who reads so little seriously. That’s too much and they mostly don’t properly translate the SP you spend on a book that is totally unreadable. I would stay on this but because at this point I’ve read all the free ones that were good and now there is only 7 that are not finished. I’m not willing to continue to pay for something that I can only get 1 chapter a day on and everything else is just wasteful, especially for a binge reader. Maybe I come back in a year to just read the vip and cancel again. I get more from Netflix than I get from this app that is just money wasting. I caution those who believe this is a worthwhile app. I thought so but if you can only pick out some books that are worth it then is not worth it. That’s why this is my last month. I’m sad to go but if I can’t get what I’m paying why keep giving. Plus the administration don’t care or see what is logged on by the translators to give people what they paid. 2 stars and that’s for the total of the books that where free in the monthly nothing else. That’s says something. Good luck!

🚩🚩 Fake Chapters 🚩🚩
I understand if a translator wants to drop a series cause they can get REALLY long, but randomly making up a ending chapter for it so you can slap a completed tag on it to make money?!? Excuse me??
For example “the supreme princess” is not only 331 chapters, its almost double that, and yet it’s “completed”.
People pay for novels and expect at bare minimum that the series is true to the original text, even if the translation may not be 1 to 1. Randomly stopping mid way, making up a ending chapter, and hoping readers might not notice is fraud. This is not the kind of service i expected when i paid, i would rather MTL the raws.

:/
Don’t know how I feel about this app. Aside from personal preferences, I have found that a LOT of the translations do not tell you what the original work is. The story is real, but the title and even character names are changed. I used to like it for some of the translations that were done well, but after finding numerous subpar translations with the big changes, I am no longer comfortable using it. MTL would be closer to the original. That said, there are some good translations and I appreciate the translators that actually tried.

Mostly good
It’s a good site for Chinese BL stories, interesting stores, decent translation. Although they could use some editors. And they occasionally port over fan translations wholesale,, errors included
Response from developer
Hi, thanks for your rating and feedback. Your experience and suggestion are always important to us, we will keep working harder to optimize our APP and bring better translations to you dear reader.

😭 PLEASE, fix the audio!
I dont mind paying for chapters, but i basically ONLY listen to the audiobooks so i can multi task.
The default voice used to be understandable, but ever since i updated my iOS the app has changed the voice to something that’s barely understandable and unpleasant. Very VERY robotic. Please let us select the voice in the app or at least set the default iOS female voice to Nicky(not enhanced).
If this continues i dont think i’ll ever be using flying lines again, because again, i only listen to audiobooks/text to speech.

Hmm
Very disappointed
New to Flying Lines
I happen to come across this website and it seems like something I will enjoy. I will review later once I have become very familiar with everything. I would like to say Thank you to all the authors for their amazing works. Thank you to the site and special thanks to all the wonderful translators! 🥰

Bought VIP TWO TIMES
As the title said, I bought it two times for one month because the first time didn’t work. One of the most frustrating experiences I’ve had with an app and wasted money on two months worth of subscription for just one month. Don’t bother buying VIP and save yourself money.
Great app
Love the stories here
Great App!
I am able to read my favourite novels with no pop ups and advertisements! Perfect!
