I wasted $20 on this app trying to read something before I realized some chapters are 50 coins, while others go up to 275, which is absolutely ridiculous. As soon as I realized that I quit buying because that’s absolutely insane pricing. I let my friends know since they see this app on Facebook and stopped reading here. The pricing on this app is ridiculous and expensive and you get very little, compared to other reading apps, for your money with their scammy 50 to 275 coins per a chapter if you’re not watching pricing with 1000 coins costing $9.99. There are way better apps out there and if I had realized they did this beforehand I’d have never spent $20 on this absolutely garbage app ### 1/5 — POINTLESS *2025-01-27, version 4.5.70* Do not get this app unless you’re planning on spending well over hundreds of dollars a year. The subscription cost $14.99 a week or $35.99 a month. At that rate you might as well just buy a paperback or hardcover book. I suggest reading on Wattpad or NovelFlow as they offer a subscription to read without ads, but you don’t need coins to pay for anything. This app is just a giant scam and if I could give it 0 stars I would. I’m really disappointed because I was super excited about reading this one book I saw an ad on about, but it’s just not worth it. ### 1/5 — Scammers? *2025-01-27* I realize this is a money only app. However, chapters that I have actually purchased are locked AGAIN requiring me to re-purchase. Not happening. So don’t bother with this app. It will re-lock purchased chapters. ### 1/5 — Too much *2025-01-25, version 4.5.70* The story seemed to be absolutely amazing but continually having to buy coins, not having the option to earn coins and the chapters being extremely overpriced so many better apps out there ### 1/5 — Waaaaaayyyyy too expensive *2025-01-23, version 4.5.70* I’ve spent a total of $50 and barely got to read 20 chapters! My god do y’all want be rich in a day chargers this much for chapters! I didn’t even read enough of the book to know if I really like and I’ve already spent enough to buy over 5 books! Way too expensive! Please adjust pricing if you want too keep your patrons. ### 1/5 — Cherish after losing *2025-01-17, version 4.5.70* The app is so frustrating . After severel chapters, The names of The characters change! The storyline is hard to follow because of The change of names. Whoever is uploading the chapters shoulder pay more attention. The updates take so long! Its getting too expensive to continue reading. Too bad because the story is interesting! ### 1/5 — Book chapters are too expensive *2025-01-12, version 4.5.60* Chapters are too expensive, you cannot even gain coins as daily rewards upon checkin ### 1/5 — Scammish *2025-01-09, version 4.5.60* Of all the reading apps I have downloaded, this one won’t give me the “free” daily coins and the instructions don’t make any sense. I would not recommend. ### 1/5 — Not giving me my coins! *2024-12-30, version 4.5.40* I’ve recharged twice at 9.99 per recharge and I have no coins to show for it. When I tried the first time and none showed I thought I didn’t finalize or something so I spent another ten dollars but when that still didn’t work I checked my card. I’ve been charged but have no coins to show for it. The app says to contact customer service under feedback if there’s any issues but there is no feedback button as far as I can see. So far this app has been a huge disappointment. ### 1/5 — Overpriced *2024-12-30, version 4.5.40* The chapters are extremely short and overpriced. The writing is also relatively rough and unpolished. I would not recommend. ### 1/5 — Awful *2024-12-29, version 4.5.40* This app is awful $70 to read a 100 chapter book that has no ending. The book also had several duplicate chapters and the author couldn’t keep characters’ names right. ### 1/5 — Ummm what..??? *2024-12-29, version 4.5.40* I originally paid for the 14.99 deal but they are trying to charge me for the 29.99??? I will paid for want i wanted and not ANYTHING ELSE. ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-12-18, version 4.5.20* This app is a scam, they robbed me out of $10 and used my coins on random books I never used and there is no way to return the money. They don't have a way to be contacted. ### 1/5 — No freebies *2024-12-08, version 4.5.20* You have to purchase there is no way to earn free chapters…. The books only have the first few chapters unlocked the. Everything is way over priced ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2024-12-08, version 4.5.20* Really wanted to read one of these stories (Lily’s Light) but no other option than to pay a lot of money for a few chapters, no option to watch ads for tokens/counts etc. very poor ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Won’t advance to next chapter *2025-08-26, version 4.6.90* Worst app ever. Keeps failing to retrieve data so can’t advance to next chapter. I just spent $50 and can’t read anything! I want my money back. ### 1/5 — Somehow got a subscription and can’t cancel *2025-07-03, version 4.6.90* I got a subscription and now I can’t cancel! I can’t reach out to anyone cuz there aren’t any options ### 1/5 — Won’t advance to next chapter *2025-06-05* Worst app ever. Keeps failing to retrieve data so can’t advance to next chapter. I just spent $50 and can’t read anything! I want my money back. ### 1/5 — Most expensive *2025-04-06, version 4.5.90* The most expensive app i seen ### 1/5 — Not worth to but for subscription *2025-03-09, version 4.5.70* Not worth it…20 dollars per week 1500 coins or so first purchase and 200 per day on that week. But each chapter cost 250? There no even daily free coins. ### 1/5 — All books *2025-02-24, version 4.5.70* They take your money don’t give you coins deleting this book app ### 1/5 — Scammers? *2025-02-15, version 4.5.70* I realize this is a money only app. However, chapters that I have actually purchased are locked AGAIN requiring me to re-purchase. Not happening. So don’t bother with this app. It will re-lock purchased chapters. This has happened yet again. Don’t waste your $ ### 1/5 — Too expensive *2025-02-13, version 4.5.70* 384 coins for 1 chapter is ridiculous. And to top it off most of the books are over 200 chapters. Do not use this app. ### 1/5 — Not worth your money *2025-01-31, version 4.5.70* You can’t even go more than 2 or 3 chapter without having to top up! Such a scam!!! ### 1/5 — Money *2025-01-30, version 4.5.70* They took over 3000 coins from me and I can’t get them back ## Most praised reviews (6 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — My son-in-law: my secret identity exposed *2025-01-09, version 4.5.60* The book is fabulous! Good writing. Need to pay a lot of money to read it, BUT, and a big BUT: no update for ages. I’ve paid a lots of money to get to chapter 478 and can’t continue to read as is not ANY updates for ages. But what makes me angry about it is that is no where to make a complaint. We can’t write a comment. We can’t get any update from no one. Who is responsible for this APO. I want to continue to read or I will get my money back and report this as a fraud. Scam. How can you charge us to read a book that unfinished? If we can’t finish the book. It’s a fraud. It’s a scam. I hope I don’t need to ask for all the money I expect for read an unfinished book. Shame on who runs this APP. 😡😡😡 ### 3/5 — It’s annoying *2025-11-20, version 4.6.90* I only hate this app bc of the cuts out!! I want it fixed please and thank you ### 2/5 — Not sure why it glitches my whole phone *2025-07-29, version 4.6.90* I’ve downloaded this app twice and I’ve deleted it twice. It a good app don’t get my wrong but for some unknown reason my entire phone glitches with this app. My phone will freeze and stop operating entirely. Once I delete the app my phone is okay. I enjoy the stories that I’ve found in here which is why I wanted to give it another try but it is really messing up my phone. I listen to music while reading and it even messes up with the music app forcefully closing it and restarting it. I enjoy the app because of the books but not the way it’s messing with my phone. Hopefully they can fix it and I can download it again. ### 2/5 — Constantly freezes phone *2025-07-05, version 4.6.90* This app Constantly Freezes your device… ### 2/5 — Flying towards light *2025-01-15, version 4.5.60* App isn’t working and won’t let me get pass the 5th chapter like it’s frozen I reset many times but 🤷🏻‍♀️ Kinda frustrated ### 2/5 — Buying coins *2024-12-06, version 4.5.20* The stories are good but I have to buy coins instead of receiving free coins for completing daily task. I think that really turns some readers away from this app. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
