    Brilliant, well written books! Also more cost effective than any other reading app.
  • Huge let down

    I’ve never been so disappointed with a reading app before. Not because of the app itself per say, but the ethics of the administrators / editors. I literally have it three months to see some kind of assistance with promoting (I do my own typically) but you’d think that bc you sign a contract that stipulates some amount of marketing and promotion from the company that they would adhere to their own terms. Even though I saw little to no featuring or posting, I stuck with it. They’re “help” has two different emails that one answers you but don’t handle author issues. Yet, the one email that handles author issues NEVER answers you. When I finally asked to have my book removed from their site and I want OUT OF MY contract, do you think they responded? If you said no, you’d be right! If you’re an author I would strongly suggest you go elsewhere for your publishing purposes. They failed to deliver on two sections of the contract I signed. If I didn’t follow my side, they’d have no problem with penalizing me. But they don’t want to hear from the author if you call them out on their failures.

  • Great

    Love it so far
  • It used to be great

    When I first downloaded this app, the stories were decent and it was relatively easy to read through a whole novel, either by unlocking chapter with bonuses or watching an ad. Now though, I can never finish anything! I get halfway through a story and then I can no longer use bonuses, I have to use coins that I have to purchase. Let’s say each book averages about 110 chapters. You get through half with the freebies so you have 55 chapters left to read. Each chapter averages about 42 coins, so you are looking to spend a total 2310 coins to finish the story. It is $20 to buy 2300 coins. That is $20 to just finish a book and it still probably won’t be enough. The average paperback is about $15 new and at least then you get a complete story.

    The app used to give free passes after a person checked in for several days in a row. Yet now, it doesn’t offer that service and resets your check-ins after logging in on the app 7 days in a row. What incentive do I have to still use this app?

    The only reason that this app is not getting a one star review is that the caliber of the stories is pretty decent. Will any win a pulitzer or a nebula award? No. But for the most part, they are entertaining serials.

  • Better than most!!

    Have a few different reading apps similar to this one and this one by far has the best stories!!
  • Awesome

    Found the app on Facebook and downloaded it to my phone. I found that I love the books and the app. I have told friends and family about the app.
  • Broken marriage

    I love the book My favourite character is the lead woman
  • Scam

    Literally took a novel off of Wattpad, and made me pay to continue reading. I don’t doubt that a lot of their stories are also stolen from other platforms.
  • Beta daughter

    So far so good
  • Be better with directions

    So far I’m enjoying the story I’m reading, but the app itself doesn’t provide directions on how to make the bonuses work. It’s too much trial and error. Maybe they’re hoping we’ll give up and buy coins rather than use the free version.
