### 4/5 — Free?

*2026-06-10, version 26.6.2*

First 30 minutes free then u pay 😡

### 2/5 — Problem

*2026-05-20, version 26.4.24*

What is wrong with your app. I watched ads to build minutes and it isn’t giving me the minutes. The app is also closing out on me on its own for no reason. It just shuts down. So far, I’m enjoying this app until today. All these problems started today. The app is even just shutting down while I am listening to a book. Please fix!!

Please read above…… 05/20/2026. New review . Your app is shutting down again after watching an ad to try to build minutes. It’s still doing the same thing and I have tried to contact you from the support on the app in the App Store but when I go there to do that, it only gives me the email to email you all with. Maybe if you try updating your app maybe it will fix it this time. It’s very frustrating watching ads and not getting no credit for him at all. Could you please fix this? I mean good gravy. This is driving me crazy I really enjoy the app, but I’m getting really tired of having to keep messing up on me closing out on me when I watch an ad and not get no credit for that ad

### 4/5 — It’s good

*2026-01-29, version 26.1.14*

I’ve been on this app for about five years and I love it so much but I don’t like that they changed it from the third 60min get 60 free min to now 90min get 40min free. Not fair! 60 get 60 is fair. 😡

### 2/5 — Nice n steamy

*2026-01-16, version 25.12.15*

If only they we’re real

### 5/5 — Nice app

*2025-12-27, version 25.12.15*

If your lgbt people and love hot sex porn stories they have it hot and steamy. So give it a try

### 5/5 — Excellent app one tip only

*2025-12-27, version 25.12.15*

To start off this is a great app, everything they say is true. Tip for developers, enough with the unfinished series!! It should tell us how long ago a book was published or if the series is complete or not so at least we’re not left hanging or waiting for a book that’s not coming. PS, sorry if I’m just being annoying at this point, Im genuinely trying to help but if you want me to stop I will.

### 5/5 — The best part of the show

*2025-12-25, version 25.12.15*

I can’t wait to see the results

### 5/5 — Mrs Lee

*2025-12-21, version 25.12.15*

Love this spp

### 3/5 — No Book Summary

*2025-12-19, version 25.12.8*

Great app.  However, I would have liked being able to read the summary of the stories like other apps allow. Additionally, I am unable to access any reviews made by others. Lastly, if I have 60 minutes, it dissipates within 30 minutes. I’ll look at phone to time it, but the hours in the app are really like 30 minutes which I find disappointing. Other than these, it’s a good app. I hope those issues are fixed.

### 3/5 — $40 a month!?!? Does anyone proofread??

*2025-12-15, version 25.12.8*

I’m really enjoying reading the novels, but I fail to see why you’re charging $40 a month. There are so many grammatical errors that it’s distracting.And sometimes it appears that the novels are interpreted incorrectly from another language. I don’t even think I would pay $40 a month for well known published authors.

### 5/5 — No purchase needed

*2025-12-11, version 25.11.13*

I love that you can just watch ads to get time to read. Most of the books I’ve read so far have been great. Love this app

### 5/5 — Erinsluv

*2025-12-11, version 25.11.13*

It’s great it really gets me hot

### 1/5 — Change up narrators

*2026-08-10, version 26.7.16*

This is a bad app compared to my other apps. I went through every story that I had saved and they all have the same woman narrator. Charlie/Charlotte are obviously the same person because the voice is the same. I get tired of hearing the same  voice over & over again in all my stories. They need to change up who they're using for the narrator's voices. I Deleted the app, and I'm continuing my other apps. Also, I had trouble deleting my account from the app.

### 1/5 — Id leave zero stars if I could.

*2026-06-24, version 26.6.2*

Something happened to all the books in my library. They just disappeared! A week ago I sent a complaint with no response. I spent hours and hours listening to these books and I can’t even find them in your menus anymore. Menu doesn’t  respond until I select it several times. I earned all the episodes from listening to hundreds of ads! Now I can’t even finish what I started. Spend hundreds of earned minutes to open up more episodes. GONE! GONE! GONE!

### 1/5 — Bad

*2026-05-22, version 26.4.24*

It is lam

### 1/5 — It is advertise as a free FM, but honestly, it’s not free

*2026-04-26, version 26.2.25*

It is advertised as a free event, which is technically the title of the app But it is not free. They want you to purchase it. You only got five minute free. To listen and then after that, you have to purchase. I am giving at zero star because you cannot advertise something for free and then expect us to pay for it.

### 1/5 — MINUTES DISAPPEAR

*2026-04-16, version 26.2.25*

Are they seriously resetting minutes that I bought with money everyday .

I had 400 minutes and woke up to them gone.

And it seems after you initially join when there are lots of and deals all of a sudden the spinner wheel stops giving out 40 minutes and is only 10 every time (those are some weird odds hitting 10 everytime)

This app is misnamed its unfree FM 
And just short of a scam

### 1/5 — I really wanted to like this.

*2026-02-28, version 26.1.14*

I’ve always been an avid reader, and I particularly enjoy romance novels. I even enjoy corny novels that I can laugh at, and playfully poke fun of. However, the novels on this app aren’t just corny, or funny bad. These are just bad. They’re poorly written, fanfic style “novels”. Most are written from 1st person present tense, a personal pet peeve of mine, have trigger warnings, POV indicators and lots of things that make me think I could read a similar story on creative writing forum in some unknown part of the internet. This leads me into the other great annoyance that I’ve come to realize about this app. That is the way they monetize it. In theory, this is a free app with free novels, but if you don’t want to be bombarded by ads you can pay $13 a week for a subscription with no more ads. I grew up reading $1 Harlequin Romance novels, even a “premium” romance novel didn’t cost more than $7-$8. You would have to be going through at least 2 whole novels a week to make it worth it IMO. If you don’t pay, then it uses “minutes”, a micro currency that you must watch ads to receive more of. The ads are annoying and often hard to close out of, even if you watch the entire thing. There is a free spin that will give you minutes, but it often times isn’t enough to read more than 1 chapter per day. I can see that this was designed by following the template that gacha games are designed by, with micro transactions and addiction being the primary mechanism used to bring in money from consumers.

### 1/5 — Daily Spin wheel

*2026-02-27, version 26.1.14*

The daily fortune is a rip-off to give someone three minutes six minutes, et cetera is ridiculous. The wheel should give better prizes! They want people to listen daily but don’t have much time daily is ridiculous. It’s a way to get money from people. It’s ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Sur cette application, on ne peut pas choisir la langue

*2025-11-11*

Quel dommage qu’il y pas de traduction en français

### 1/5 — They still your money

*2025-11-08, version 25.9.26*

They won’t let me get back to my book that I paid money for the coins to listen to it.

### 1/5 — Eh

*2025-11-05, version 25.9.26*

So I can either listen or read but can’t do both ….

### 5/5 — A piece of advice for the developers

*2026-06-26, version 26.6.2*

The book Luna rising, I think you suggested to all new listeners and that is a terrible idea. Not because it’s not a good book. It’s a fantastic book which is kind of the problem. Maybe don’t suggest a book that’s been on a cliffhanger for the past three years. You’re setting all your readers up to get hooked on a really good book only to be disappointed a few years later when they realize there’s never gonna be another one.

### 5/5 — Only one I could find that I liked and was free

*2026-05-09, version 26.4.24*

The only thing I think should be changed is that when you watch a video for more minutes that it give you ten in stead and if it give you more then one video I think that it should give you the right amount for how many videos it will give you plz take in consideration and think about what I said because I think it will boost how many people will listen to the story’s on the app also I was wondering if someone could put my true mate book 1-5 on the app because it’s my favourite
