This book is engaging, I can’t wait to read the next page! It’s got a lot of pull for the reader …. from the dialogue to the characters. I can’t wait to finish reading the rest of the book!

Give us more please

It takes so much longer watching ads than it does to read the few short paragraphs where not much happens, that are deemed to be a chapter! Make us feel like our time it’s worth more and at least double the length of each chapter. It makes the app not worth my time.

Stupid coins

All I want is an app where I can read a lil story without having to spend so much money on passes or stupid coins. As a broke girl with no job Luna Lola is not worth the money for me to buy coins to continue reading.

Terrible

The free experience is awful. This app lets you read a chapter every hour until you get half way through. Then there’s no more free chapters. Its 2 adds per chapter for about 5 chapters before you’re done for the day. Half the time there are no ads available or it will let you watch 1 but the other is not available so you don’t get the chapter.

So, please contact us at support@fictionme.net with "App Store review" in subject and we will reply promptly. Best regards, the FictionMe Team

Not worth the effort

All the chapters you can read for free is already available on insta. When downloading the app to actually read the book, it’s 5.99 for CHAPTERS that are a page long LOL I’d gladly support the app if it was 5$ for the whole damn book. There’s no spell check and the majority of the books are all regurgitated ideas anyways. Just change a few characters names around and boom, same books different titles.
Idk why I was hopeful

Please get it fixed!!! that’s the only problem that I have!! that’s why it’s three out of five star review!!!

App

I was a little disappointed when you could only read once per hour unless you have coins. But I’ve had it for about a week now and I just got to a point in the book where I no longer get a free chapter every hour it’s telling me I need a subscribe or pay with coins. and if you pay with coins, the price has gone up. The books are pretty great. It’s just the app that makes me frustrated.

Thank you for highlighting your experience! Best regards, the FictionMe Team

I love the app but..

I find the video part of the app buggy. Sometimes when you watch 2 videos to go to the next chapter after watching the 2nd video, when you go to close it out the finish video it takes you to a black screen. Then you have to close the app out reopen and though it shows you watched the second video you have click to watch a 3rd video. If you are lucky then it will let you go to the next chapter. If you are unlucky it takes you to a black screen where you have to repeat the process of closing and reopening app and watch another video. Sometimes I have had to repeat this process up to 10 times. Other than that I love the app.

Rip off

This app charges so many “coins” per chapter. Fine. I get that. But when one book ends up costing me more than $50 to finish? Not worth it. The option to earn coins is there too- supposedly you can watch ads to unlock chapters- except you can’t. You watch the ads but the chapters don’t unlock. They give you the option to unlock a chapter after 1 hour too- except that one hour restarts every time you PAY for a chapter! Absolutely ridiculous for an app that doesn’t even have published books to download or buy.

Glitch?

When i first started reading it was going great, id watch the ads when i needed to and i could then start the next chapter. Unfortunately for the past couple of days that hasnt been the case, i havent been able to read the next chapter despite watching the ads, everytime the video ends the screen goes black and so i close the app and try again just for the same result. Please help.

Ads Malfunction AGAIN!!!

Ads not functioning properly again. Happened a week after first downloaded but seemed to resolve itself. A month later it’s now back to black screen following the ad and although once you close the app and re-open it shows 2/2 for ad reward chapter does not open.

Read Before Downloading

5 stars so it will be seen.I loved this app at first. I was reading “You Rejected a Silver Wolf” and loving the story. Until I got to chapter 108. Now there are no more free chapters and you have to become a member to read more. Like a lot of us, I’m not able to pay to read books when I could spend that money on something I need. If you can afford it, just do it from the beginning. Otherwise, don’t waste your time reading half a book. Libraries are still open and lending books for free, or you could start a community book swapping club. Meanwhile, I’ll be deleting this app and picking up a good book from my collection.

Do not be surprised

I downloaded the app and to have a more complete access to the books I subscribe to the VIP, you get nothing with it unless a phew coins and vouchers that you will use quickly and easily. After that you will have to continue to pay for coins packs to read them. Is a money trap.

App has changed and not for the better

I love this app. Great stories, can read free if I want to. I really like this app. Until recently. On one story, I have come to the place where I can no longer read free and must use coins or bonuses to read the next chapter. Fine. I need 35 coins/bonuses and I have 39. Great! Except. I get a message that says I don’t have sufficient balance to continue. What’s up with that? And this isn’t isolated to just one novel. This is the third time this has happened. On one of the attempts, I continued to accrue bonus until I could open the next chapter. It took 55 bonuses. Not the 35 stated on the chapter. I have taken a screenshot of the most recent issue if you would like to see it. I hope you can fix this.

Ads don’t work properly

I love this app and currently addicted to a book I am reading I love that a chapter gets unlocked every hour but when I go to watch the ads to unlock the chapters early I am able to watch the ads then when I go to close them they never take me back to the app and I have to close the whole thing down and reopen it it takes me 7-8 videos to finally unlock the chapters when it’s supposed to be two. I have updated the app and was hoping that it would fix it but it didn’t please fix this issue

Black Screen Not Resolved

Please can you fix the black screen that occurs every time I watch an add. Just now I had to watch 4 ads and I still cannot move to the next chapter. If not resolved I’ll be forced to use another app.
