THIS is amazing usually I don't like reading because books for me are extremely boring and as a person who is really into horror and thriller this app is amazing my only note is there is a lot of adverts and every time you wanna go to the second part of the story then you have to watch two ads however overall this app is amazing I think for people who don't like reading that much and for people who like horror stories and movies this is your app!! ### 4/5 — Okay *2022-08-12, version 2.2.8* You have to pay to SEE.
