I’d have enough for two or three chapters and after one use the rest are gone. What is going on? ### 4/5 — 챕터 중복.. *2026-04-02* 컨텐츠도 다양해서 틈틈이 보기 좋아요! 그런데 완결 안 나온건지 업데이트가 느린 컨텐츠들이 있는 거 같아서 그런 부분이 조금 아쉬워요!(귀화한 왕녀와 냉궁황후의 환생록은 업데이트가 언제 되나요?ㅠ ) ### 1/5 — Good but *2025-09-28* I love the book I’m reading but it takes over 200 Canadian dollars to just get to the half way mark! I have over 3000 gems and they aren’t translating to anything, just accumulating. Go get kindle unlimited cheaper. $17 a month for unlimited books ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time *2025-09-14* …unless you want to pay $$$ to finish a book. No visible way to turn rewards for watching adds to coins to open chapters. Authors.. try another format if you want readers to actually read your entire book ### 3/5 — Bad Translation *2025-08-27* If you're going to translate to English, you should know how to edit. Serious problems with repeated chapters & your knowledge of using him & her is poor ### 1/5 — Rip off *2025-08-18* Poorly written books, far too expensive to access chapters. A single book would have cost upwards of $250 just to purchase enough coins to unlock all the chapters. Absolutely shameless ### 1/5 — Expensive *2025-08-14, version 12.7.0* The story is good, but you have to buy coins to unlock the chapter. I’ve already spent $15 and I’m not finished with the one story. It should be a flat fee per month or at least per story. Definitely not worth it. ### 1/5 — Total scam *2025-08-10, version 12.7.0* Unintelligible bonus/ coin system that makes it impossible to figure out what you have to actually pay to read a whole book. $29.99 in and app is demanding more $, but zero indication of how much more total. Story not bad, and I’d love to find it, read it but I’m not paying $60+… crazy… ### 1/5 — DO NOT DOWNLOAD ITS A SCAM *2025-08-03, version 12.7.0* Please do not download you will get hooked on a story that never ends and will spend like $100-200 trying to find out what happens next. And that’s a good outcome it might be more ### 1/5 — Worthless *2025-07-27, version 12.7.0* I will NEVER use this app, read its books, pay the ridiculous amount of money for these ridiculous books nor will I ever even try to earn coins. WORTHLESS WASTE OF TIME. Deleted instantly. ### 1/5 — Makes no sense *2025-07-25* This app is not user friendly. Once you click on a chapter you can’t go back to anything. I have to close the entire app to do anything. It doesn’t show you how many chapters there are. I logged out and came back the day after and had to scroll all the way down to where I had left off, but before I can even get there, the app tried to make me pay for pages I already read. ### 1/5 — Expensive *2025-07-21* Far to expensive, not for me ### 1/5 — Doesn’t cover it *2025-07-02* Can’t earn enough coins for 1 chapter and subscriptions don’t cover the cost of half a book, what a rip off ### 1/5 — Ex Husband Apology *2025-06-25, version 12.7.0* Don’t bother reading this book it unfinished cost is too expensive ### 1/5 — Money guzzling gold diggers *2025-05-14* Seriously are you a Gold digging book club now. Everytime someone spends a little money for coins you up the amount for more smh your such an embarrassment I hope your books fail like the Words and stories do. You can’t even keep the names correct in the novels you morons. I hope our president wipes your apps from our country!!!! ### 1/5 — Scam *2025-05-13* This app continuously changes the cost of the chapters as you get closer to the amount. One chapter has gone from 30 coins when I had none then to 35 when I got the 30 coins and then up to 50 when I got 45. Absolute scam!!!!! ### 1/5 — Points frustrating *2025-05-05* Maybe points system in the app are extremely irritating and false- super easy to earn, but you can’t actually use them. Most frustrating reading app I’ve come across so far. ### 1/5 — Expensive waste of time *2025-04-18, version 11.8.0* They just want your money. It is the only way to read the books ### 1/5 — Don’t waste your time! *2025-04-15* Terrible app. The stories aren’t terrible….. although not incredible either. But it costs a huge amount of money to be able to read anything. It’s beyond ridiculous. Avoid this app!! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Misleading *2026-08-29* I would of given 0 stars if I could - it offers you a option to read the next chapter if you watch 2 adverts but in reality it only gives you one to watch- which is annoying as the book actually sounds really good - also as someone else said all the payment options are ridiculously expensive ### 1/5 — Subscription cancelation doesn’t work *2026-08-21* If you purchase the subscription with PayPal it takes much longer than it should to cancel the subscription considering you have to contact the company in order to get any more action done as there is no way to circumvent around it. ### 1/5 — Fraud! Cannot cancel memberships *2026-08-15* I love to read so i did a weekly as a trial run. I had issues where i would have to exit the app and go back in several times for it to register i had the membership as it kept making me try to get coins for chapters where i was supposed to have the whole book. After a few times it would work. The last day i decided i would just cancel for the cost and the others options i have it mint worth it to me with all the glitches. Well the. It would not allow me to cancel and told me to go through the apple subscriptions went i went to there it shows i don’t have one so thinking this may be why it’s glitching it’s not even showing i have one i let it go and went on. The next day it charged me for the vip. I went through all the process again and tried to do the override provided by feedback to cancel and it gives an error which i provided all to their feedback team they advised they cancelled it but even with screen shots the could not refund the subscription the same day it had processed again. Very annoying since it wasn’t showing active for me to cancel it myself. They will just take your money and honestly there are so many other reading options this one is NOT worth it! ### 1/5 — Scam! *2026-07-09* Paid $12 on a deal offered to be able to read and unlock locked books. Went to unlock the next chapter they wanted me to pay again this time $20. Chapters wouldn’t unlock. Paid $12 for nothing can’t unlock any chapters on any books, totally a scam. Without a doubt they’ll probably continue taking money for a “subscription” I never received the benefits of. Absolute scam app don’t waste your money. ### 1/5 — Stop *2026-06-30* Stop don’t download this app they are a scam, they get you into auto renewal that you can’t cancel. Even if you delete the app or cancel your account they will continue to charge your card. They don’t give you a receipt for the transaction but your bank will get the notification of the payment. They had some good stories but honestly it’s such a scam. ### 1/5 — Horrible App *2026-06-29* This app is a big time scam. The books need major reviewing for grammar and spelling. Coined that were supposed to be to read the whole book was not true. Also it kept taking me back to beginning chapters each time I logged in to read. Overall I would not recommend on any level. ### 1/5 — 응대 별로임 *2026-04-15* 구독취소 관련해서 응대 문의했는데 기다리라고만 하고 언제까지 된다는 말도 없음...구독취소가 내가 할 수 없는 상황이라 고객센터에서 해결해줘야하는데 언제 되는지 물어봐도 답도 없음...ㅋ ### 1/5 — SCAM *2026-03-14* This app is a scam!! Paid for premium vip subscription which allegedly unlocks all books, then all of a sudden I’m expected to buy chapters!!! 0 star rating ### 1/5 — Awful *2025-10-20* They charge a ridiculous amount for chapters. If you were to read an entire book it would cost you $100. And the watching 3 adds/videos to unlock each chapter only works for a few times then you pay or can’t continue reading. Lots of typos in the “books”. Don’t waste your time or money! I’d give zeros stars but not an option. No way is this app over 4 stars. ### 1/5 — Money grabbing app *2025-10-05* This app has gone to be 1 of the worst apps for books out there. Chapters are too expensive 30-50 coins or bonus and u don’t get enough bonus it’s a rip off 5 bonus and that’s once if you watch all 15 ads u only get that 5 bonus rest is gems which you can’t convert into anything. Gems are so you can buy gifts for the authors which has too much focus on. You can’t be gifting authors if you can’t even finish a book without spending real cash or should I say 1 chapter, as you start the book you get free reads then the costing the costing is only half of what you can earn so your waiting an extra day just to read 1 chapter which wasn’t already free. for their books u can only get 15 tokens for daily or once for the 15 ads. I’m honestly surprised how it has many stars unless most people who have this app have spent real money that be the only way it have more than 1 star. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — 굿 *2026-02-02* 진짜 이런 류의 소설앱 중에서 제일 좋아요 너무 재밌는 소설 하나 발견했고… 리워드도 적절하게 있어서 틈틈히 보기 좋네요 ### 5/5 — Love this app *2024-09-22* Great novels on this app ### 5/5 — Great reads *2024-09-09, version 11.0.1* This site has so many great reads ### 5/5 — Histórias boas, mas mal traduzido *2023-11-14* As histórias são boas , mas mal traduzidas, e para comprar os capítulos sai mais caro do que comprar um livro. ### 5/5 — Muito *2023-08-17* Livros com ótimos temas ### 5/5 — Ótimo *2023-06-30* Ótimo ### 5/5 — Livros!!! *2023-06-29* Muito bom estou amando o Alfa ### 5/5 — 🌟⭐️⭐️ *2023-06-26* Ótimo ### 5/5 — Estou amando *2023-06-19* Estou amando ### 5/5 — Bug *2023-06-18* Bjjhggy --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
