### 4/5 — Have had for a couple of years now

*2026-04-16, version 3.0.0*

I give this app a solid 4 and when they added the ability to watch ads for double points to daily check ins it was great but in the last month it doesn’t work anymore. Just sits with a loading animation, went a full minute I backed out and try it every day but it doesn’t seem to work. Was hoping with app update it would correct issue but sadly no. Otherwise I will continue using daily for stories

### 1/5 — Not worth it

*2025-10-31, version 3.0.0*

Let’s you read a few chapters then starts trying to force you to buy coins to read more.  Not paying $30 - $40 - $50 for stories that aren’t even that good.

### 1/5 — Stealing stories

*2025-07-16, version 2.6.1*

This app is stealing stories from Wattpad and selling them on here! Disgusting!

### 1/5 — Scam

*2025-05-21, version 2.6.1*

Stay far away. I canceled all subscriptions for this app and deleted it and they still took money from my account and refuse to refund.

### 2/5 — Buyer beware - not worth the money

*2025-03-24, version 2.6.1*

I’ve read precisely one book in this app. It cost me $30 by the time I was done. In spite of the numerous errors It’s painfully obvious the story was never edited. If it was, the author didn’t bother uploading the revision. In spite of that, the basic story showed a lot of potential, and I decided to read it again. Until the next chapter required I purchase coins to continue. There were also no options to earn coins. Nope. Not going to happen.

### 2/5 — App crashed

*2025-03-19, version 2.6.1*

I like this app a lot, however it froze and crashed right in the middle of a story! I hope they get it fixed soon, will probably give a better rating if they get it fixed and I can finish the book I’m on!

### 1/5 — Expensive

*2025-02-19, version 2.6.1*

This app is a complete scam. If you want to read a book just buy a solid copy which will probably cost around £5-£10 because with this app you’ll spend £50+ just to read a whole book and that’s with a 20% discount too. They also drag out the story and make all chapters very short so you’ll buy more coins to buy the chapters. Btw 500coins costs £5.

### 1/5 — Stolen works

*2024-10-02, version 2.6.1*

They have stolen my stories and have yet to take them down after numerous attempts.

Do not buy or support this app in anyway. A quick glance at this app and 90% of these stories are plagiarized. 

DONT SPEND 30-50$ on a book many offers have for free or under 5$!

### 1/5 — Copyright infringement

*2024-08-12, version 2.6.1*

You have posted my book The Gray Brothers not once but twice and renamed it Forced to live with the hot boys. You post stolen intellectual property.

### 1/5 — Huh?!?!

*2023-10-17, version 2.6.0*

I have over 800 bonus coins and it’s not letting me unlock the next chapter. What the heck is going on?!?!
