Pricing is a lie.

In the app description the pricing is listed as $5.99/month for VIP. The only options it gives you are $19.99/week or $99.99/year (on sale). These apps are a rip off.

Money scam.

At first they ask you to buy subscription that is not cheap, and then to read any other books you then have to add more money. It is a scam for money, and not even a good one. If I could give it less than one star I would.

Scam

Asks you to purchase a $19.99 subscription for unlimited reading, but it doesn’t actually allow you too. And the app still expects you to purchase coins. There’s no way to cancel the subscription or work out to tech support.

Good but expensive

I want to like this app but I hate how expensive it is just to read a book. The chapters get more and more expensive as you ready them. You don’t even get the option to buy the rest of the chapters. I really hope that the money spent goes to the authors.
