NOT! *2025-10-13* Love the stories. However they don't know how to tell time. After watching 1-3 ads, about 2 minutes, you're suppose to have 5 minutes of free reading. Most I have gotten is 4 minutes. Why lie? Just say after every chapter watch 2 minutes of ads for 4 minutes of reading. I wouldn't have wasted my time downloading it but at least it would have been honest. **Developer response:** Hello, and thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention in your review. Please contact our team using Support in Amora's settings so we can investigate the issue causing minutes to be credited or spent incorrectly. We look forward to hearing from you! Best regards, Max Smith Riseforward Team ### 5/5 — Hot *2025-09-29* I’m looking forward too a lot of man and women only together **Developer response:** ​Hello, and thank you for the five-star review!

We’re excited for you to start reading and hope you enjoy it just as much as your sister does!  Best regards, Max Smith  Riseforward Team ### 5/5 — No visit to library *2025-09-20* Don’t have to go to the library and have a time limit to enjoy a novel 😃 **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for the wonderful review. We hope Amora continues to bring you only positive experiences! Best regards, Max Smith Riseforward Team ### 2/5 — Not actually free reading… *2025-09-13* Disappointed! You can read without paying but you have to watch an AD for every 5 mins of reading time. It’s usually only one short chapter’s worth of time. So No, you don’t have to pay; but saying it’s FREE is big stretch. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for sharing your experience! In addition to watching ads, you can earn extra minutes by spinning the wheel or claiming daily rewards. By saving up minutes, you can enjoy your favorite books without interruptions. We truly appreciate your feedback and are continuously working to make the reading experience even better for everyone. Best regards, Max Smith  Riseforward Team ### 5/5 — Truly free *2025-09-03* You can pay if you prefer no ads but they aren’t too burdensome if you want the free route. ### 5/5 — Just what I needed! *2025-09-02* This app has wonderful stories and they’re free to read. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Fake ad. You get a small amount for free then get *2025-11-26* Ready to pay highly **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your feedback! Amora is free to use, and you can earn more minutes by watching ads and claiming bonuses. The optional subscription disables ads and includes helpful features to enhance your experience. We hope you’ll consider giving the app another try! ​Best regards, Max Smith  Riseforward Team ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-11-23* This app is free and I was happy to watch the ads for 5 minutes of extra reading time each time, but everytime I finish watching 2 minutes worth of ads the app crashes and I don’t receive my minutes. The number of ads that I’ve watched is actually insane whilst still having 0 minutes. This app is just a scam, don’t download it. **Developer response:** Hello! We're sorry that you're experiencing crashes after watching ads! Our team is gradually releasing fixes in updates, and we hope to resolve this issue permanently in the future. Please stay tuned for new versions! Best regards, Max Smith Riseforward Team ### 1/5 — I can’t find the book I was reading! *2025-10-26* Why can I not continue the book I was reading on the ad before I downloaded your app? I was expecting to be taken straight to the story to continue reading. Does the story really exist? Also why can I not read the reviews? I want to see what others think of your app and content. Are you scared? **Developer response:** Hello! We appreciate you trying Amora and sharing your feedback. If reviews are hidden on Amora's App Store page, this may be due to your preferences.

Best regards, Max Smith Riseforward Team ### 1/5 — Don’t see what they advertise *2025-10-01* I have looked for the book that they have in their add, but I can’t find it anywhere. That is the only reason I downloaded the app. Very disappointed. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for the review.

Best regards, Max Smith Riseforward Team ### 2/5 — Adds *2026-01-07* Way too many ads, I have to watch over a minute of an ad just to listen to maybe five minutes it’s too much **Developer response:** Hello, and thank you for your feedback! Ads ensure that free reading and listening are available to all users, as they help us continue to develop the app and release new stories. We'll keep improving and hope you enjoy our books! Best regards, Max Smith Riseforward Team ### 2/5 — Locks up, shuts down! Needs spell checks! *2025-12-17* Spell check these books! They are electronic, for goodness sake….does anyone spell check? This app locks up, freezes, and shuts down….what happened to that last update? I watch 2 - 5 adds and when I click to read the book the app crashes in some way. Then I have to watch the adds all over again and sometimes more than I had previously. Yes, it’s “free” but is it really? I was thinking about purchasing but now I will not because of all these issues! **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for your review!

Best regards, Max Smith  Riseforward Team ### 2/5 — Time Thief *2025-11-03* I do enjoy the stories so far but there is no way I can afford a subscription. If multiply the cost that is like $45/month-$540/yr. My complaint at this time is that I watch as much as 2 or more minutes of Ad’s so can read a chapter and yet after 31/2minutes of reading a chapter when go to go to another chapter I have to watch more Ad’s. This app regularly steals 1-2 minutes of time. Pretty sad that they do that. **Developer response:** Hello! We appreciate you bringing your concerns to our attention! Please reach out to our team via Support in Amora's settings so we can investigate and assist. Thank you in advance! Best regards, Max Smith Riseforward Team ### 2/5 — Amora *2025-09-16* Story is fine but free no way, 3 ads per chapter is over kill. **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for reviewing Amora. Ads provide 5 minutes, so depending on their length, each chapter may require more than one ad. Also, ads may consist of multiple videos or be split into two parts, with the second one much shorter than the first. We hope you stay with us! Best regards, Max Smith Riseforward Team ### 2/5 — THEY SAY COMPLETELY FREE *2025-09-14* When they’re advertising for this app, they say it’s completely free. So you get to read several chapters and then you either have to pay, or you have to watch ads. And it’ll say, watch an ad, for five minutes of reading time. Now it’s not just one ad it’s two ads and sometimes three each time. And you get five minutes reading time.. I’m a fast reader, but I never get more than two chapters and the chapters are small. I don’t call that free. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — The second marriage chance *2026-01-26* Grea **Developer response:** Hello! Thank you for sharing your feedback!
