I like the story that m currently reading but you to really consider that the options are too expensive.. greedy ### 1/5 — Zero Stars *2022-09-22* Seriously, you don’t put the price on the chapter and $10for a few chapters???? Prize gouging are we? ### 1/5 — Greedy *2022-09-11* 17 Chapters into the book and I spent over 20 dollars please!!! That is crazy price gouging ### 1/5 — App won’t load *2022-08-21* Downloaded your app and I can’t get it to load. keeps showing an error. Have tried uninstalling and reinstalling numerous times. ### 1/5 — Won’t load anything *2022-08-20* App keeps telling me it has a network error and won’t let me see the books ### 1/5 — Wont load *2022-08-19* I downloaded this app because i seen an add on fb with a preview of a book i rlly thought sounded good and it wont even load. Im connected to wifi at my house and even turning my phone on only data it still says not internet connection so im rlly disappointed ### 1/5 — Doesn’t work *2022-08-19, version 1.0.2* Don’t waste your time. If anything loaded I’m sure you’d have to pay money for anything decent ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — I deleted after an hour *2024-01-28* No way to get for free, pointless trust me ### 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 ### 1/5 — Cannot find 19052 what is name of novel *2022-12-26* Cannot find 19052 ### 1/5 — REWARDS NOT WORKING *2022-12-07* The rewards for watching video ads and reading duration do not work. I’ve tried reporting the problem twice, but have not received a response. ### 1/5 — No transparency on pricing *2022-11-18, version 1.0.3* This is by far the worst book/ reading app I’ve tried. There is absolutely no transparency when it comes to the price of a chapter. I bought some coin because I wanted to see how much chapters cost and it was over 100 coins per chapter.. way over priced. Don’t waste your money. ## Most praised reviews (4 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — wet very soon *2023-12-25, version 1.0.3* Real Turn on. Think I am going to be wet really sooon. ### 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. ### 5/5 — I like it…. Buttttt *2022-08-22* It won’t let me sign in for open “ earn rewards”. It keeps saying failed. I have uninstalled and reinstalled it and it still doesn’t work! ### 2/5 — Disappointed *2022-08-21* Downloaded because the story in the ad was really good. Against my better judgment, I purchased coins. Three days later and every thing on the app comes up “failed”. Still have 400 coins and cannot read. Good luck if you download it. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
