But you get the same chapters you were reading during the ad. And when going to chapter 7, in the app, right there you have to pay for coins. This is a fake ad and nothing is free ### 1/5 — So many dollars for so little content. *2026-08-29* Badly written tripe with incomplete stories. Not worth spending any money on at all!! ### 1/5 — Not Free *2026-08-29, version 1.9.1* I tried this app because it says it free to read, the first six chapters were free and then you have to pay! No thanks! Deleting the app! ### 1/5 — You lied in your ad *2026-08-29* I have picture evidence that in your ad that I downloaded your app from you have a comment at the top under your name saying “where reading is free” then I get seven chapters into the book. I’m interested in and you want me to pay you. No thank you especially at the prices you’re looking at I could buy between one and two entire physical books for the price you want for like seven or eight chapters no absolutely not worth it. I get it. You’re trying to make money absolutely not. ### 1/5 — Not free chapters at all *2026-08-28, version 1.9.1* I feel the same as a previous reader. Ad says free chapters but once you get to where you left off it charges you 199 coins to continue. False advertising. ### 1/5 — This app is trash *2026-08-27* I refuse to rewrite my original review that was so kindly lost and deleted as I was submitting it. To make this short and sweet, this app is complete trash. There is nothing true about free books you can read. After a few chapters it costs a steep price to continue. If you have downloaded it delete it immediately, if you are thinking about it do yourself a favor and don’t. ### 1/5 — Pay to read *2026-08-27* After the top, you blatantly lied and said there was no pay wall, I got back to the point where the advertisement had ended and found out that it had charged all the starter coins, just to get it back to that point automatically without even giving the option not to do so, and then wanted 199 coins to unlock the next chapter and every chapter after cost the same. Wish there was something that could be done about the false reviews that appear to be purchased. ### 1/5 — あっというまに *2026-08-26* 1500円でポイント買って、10話も読まないで無くなった。これは高すぎじゃないだろうか？ ### 1/5 — Liar *2026-08-24, version 1.9.1* No free book as told I will delete the expensive app ### 1/5 — Not well organized *2026-08-23, version 1.9.1* The ad gives you a few chapters to read “free”, but download the app and look for the story and either a) story turns out not to be free going forward, or b) story cannot be found at all no matter how search is attempted. Not a way to develop loyalty! ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-08-21, version 1.9.1* Said it was free reading it is cost money. Not even an option to just play ads ### 1/5 — Wasted *2026-08-18, version 1.9.1* Another app to waste your money on. Way too expensive for very short stories. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — 👎 *2026-09-09* I download this app because it said free books, after a few chapters they asked for $20 to continue and that only paid for the next few chapters. If you charge for the books be honest and tell people. ### 1/5 — Horrible App DO NOT USE *2026-09-08* I downloaded the app based on its ratings and the experience has been horrible! I keep getting charged without ever receiving any credits. I’ve emailed several times just to get the same automated response with no resolution. Unless you really like throwing money away - do not download this app - it’s all a scam! ### 1/5 — Not Free at all. *2026-09-06, version 1.9.1* I downloaded this because it said free. I wasn’t expecting it to be completely free. But I was expecting to be able to earn coins to unlock chapters via watching ads, following the app on FB, YouTube, Instagram , etc. Nope. The only way to unlock chapters beyond the first 5-6 chapters is literally to buy coins with real money. So much for the “read for free” claim their commercials make. ### 1/5 — Liars *2026-09-05, version 1.9.1* It is not Free. You lied. ### 1/5 — Don’t download. It’s a scam. *2026-09-02, version 1.9.1* They say that there’s no paywall. To actually read the book would cost you more than 10 times what a book from the bookstore would cost. I’m very angry a review said there was no payroll when that was a blatant falsehood. Run from this. App run. ### 1/5 — Paywall *2026-09-01* Rubbish full paywall, cannot even watch ads to unlock. Total con! ### 1/5 — Where Reading is “Free” *2026-08-31, version 1.9.1* I’m not shocked that it’s a pay per chapter just disappointed that apps are allowed to blatantly lie. For the cost of reading 10 chapters you can buy multiple books. ### 1/5 — Scam app *2026-08-31, version 1.9.1* The app overcharge us to read. Additionally, it forces subscriptions and tries to take money, even after you reject the transaction. I requested a refund after it, forced me into two subscriptions based on a one time purchased. But not recommend utilizing this app. ### 1/5 — Untrustworthy advertising *2026-08-30* Ad: “No paywall” Reality: All paywall. ### 1/5 — Not Free *2026-08-30, version 1.9.1* I downloaded this app because some reviewers said it was free. I don’t mind looking at ads but paying $20 for 1000 coins and the chapters unlock at 190 is ridiculous. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Absolute scam *2026-09-06* The ad says no hidden traps but you know your lying the price of coins is diabolical your better off avoiding it and to the scammers jokes on you ### 5/5 — Not sure but book 1,2,3 *2026-09-05* They were all interesting stories it felt forever to get to the plot. ### 5/5 — Interesting *2026-09-02* It's a little fine, but I don't like the fact that you don't earn enough to read your chapters. You are basically forcing people to pay money not about to pay 100 something dollars for a book. ### 5/5 — Can’t stop *2026-09-02, version 1.9.1* The stories are so engaging ### 5/5 — Me *2026-08-29* Good ### 5/5 — 👍 *2026-08-27, version 1.9.1* Cool 🫘 ### 5/5 — So far so good!!! *2026-08-20, version 1.9.1* All of the books I have read are not plagiarised or AI tampered with “yet”. ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-19* The stories are short and good but price of chapters are redicules at this point no fun in reading cuz if I read a lot like be then ur paying $100+just for one book. Way not worth it ### 5/5 — Good *2026-08-17, version 1.9.1* Good Want too ups that I don’t have to buy a subscription for ### 5/5 — Free chapters *2026-08-15, version 1.9.1* Wish more free reading chapters before using coins to unlock --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
