Not what it promises

This is “free” if you listen to ads. However, most of the ads are 5 minutes long and play every hour. It’s almost impossible to close the ad when it’s do so you are stuck in a loop.
You can skip the ads, how? By paying for tokens. This is a ripoff and the stories are mediocre.

Response from developer

Hi! We're sorry to hear about your experience. 💜 On Freewave, you can watch ads in advance to stack up listening time and then listen without interruptions. Purchasing extra listening time or a subscription is entirely optional. If you're having trouble with ads, please contact our support team via welcome@wromance.com) or the Contact Us form in the app, and we'll be happy to help.

So so good!

Options to get free listening time, reasonable prices if you want to buy time, the stories I’ve listened to already were done really well!

Romance - palooza

Finally, steamy books I can get behind and in front of. Love this app.

Best audio app

I’m addicted! The fact that I can pay or watch ads for actual minutes of play time is amazing! No points or keys or tickets. You watch ads for a full 5 minutes of audio or you can pay a VERY reasonable amount for blocks of time. I’m so elated I found this app. Not to mention the stories are riveting with REAL narrators that do an AMAZING JOB. You won’t regret getting this app it’s the best!!
