### 1/5 — Coins

*2026-02-03*

I got the reward the first time but now it just doesn’t work and it doesn’t give me any and i cant read the chapter I got and it always says 20+ when it is more then that and I get no coins from it this is a huge problem

### 1/5 — Do not download

### 5/5 — easy to use

*2025-12-23*

Super easy to use and very reader-friendly. I like how I can track my reading and pick up right where I left off.

### 5/5 — Great one

*2025-12-16*

It makes me addicted, I can't stop at all

### 1/5 — awful

*2025-12-15*

it doesn’t work when you buy a chapter with coins, it just takes your coins with no chapter.

**Developer response:** We deeply regret this experience – it was far from what we had hoped for our readers. Due to a brief system malfunction today, some purchase transactions were not completed successfully. Our developers have already begun working on resolving this issue, and the affected tokens or chapters will be reimbursed shortly. Thank you very much for your patience. Please do not hesitate to reach out to us if there is anything we can assist you with.

### 1/5 — Information grabber

*2025-12-10*

Terrible app, gives you coins to unlock a chapter then keeps saying you need to log in and wouldn’t show the unlocked chapter. Shame on you
