### 1/5 — I deleted after an hour

*2024-01-28*

No way to get for free, pointless trust me

### 5/5 — wet very soon

*2023-12-25, version 1.0.3*

Real Turn on. Think I am going to be wet really sooon.

### 1/5 — You can’t even sign in

*2023-11-05, version 1.0.3*

, I just got the app and I can’t sign in be it with Facebook or Apple it won’t work & yes i uninstalled & reinstalled 🤦🏾‍♀️Might as well just delete it. Don’t waste your time

### 1/5 — Don’t Use It… OVERPRICED and shady

*2023-03-26*

This app will steal your money. They don’t show how much each chapter costs for it to end up being 150+ coins each. 500 coins costs $5+ with tax. You also can’t signup to get the rewards and the reward videos don’t work!!!

### 1/5 — Don’t do it

*2023-03-25*

The prices are ridiculous. The stories are OK but there’s no corrections, horrible spelling, but 120 coins for one chapter is ridiculous.

### 1/5 — Chapters ridiculously expensive near end of book

*2023-03-23, version 1.0.3*

Doesn’t tell you how much chapters cost. Seemed to get more expensive near end off book. I ran out of coins on third last chapter, brought more, then had run out after 1 chapter. $10 to read one chapter?? I refused to buy more for last chapter and deleted the ap.

### 1/5 — Overpriced Chapters

*2023-03-20, version 1.0.3*

Stories seem good and compelling enough to try buying some coins, only to be slapped with 100-150 coin chapters!  At an average of 65 chapters per book and let’s say 125 coins per chapter, that’s over 8000 coins = $80

No thank you, I will not be paying $80 to read a book.

### 1/5 — App errors

*2023-02-12*

Went to buy coins to read a book but nothing but errors

### 5/5 — Thriller

*2023-01-03*

I like the flow of the book, I just started but it does not lag and is jot slow to build the story. Can’t wait to finish it.

### 1/5 — Cannot find 19052 what is name of novel

*2022-12-26*

Cannot find 19052
