This App is a reap off. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2025-08-26, version 1.3.0* Don’t download this app it’s a con the prices for coins are silly ### 1/5 — App Fees & Issues *2025-07-30, version 1.2.9* Fee Scamming. Several times I have tried to subscribe to the “weekly subscription” @ $19.99 and don’t receive the 2500 benefits. I get charged but do not receive the coins. I am unable to reach anyone to correct this problem, so I’ve had to contact my bank to block the charge. I have also noted that, if I have a small amount of coins in my account, but 100+ in my bonus coins, I am unable to use them to open a chapter even if I have enough between the regular & bonus accounts. If I want to read another chapter I have to purchase more coins. It has quickly because the chapters are very short and you can end up spending a large amount of money for a story you don’t even own. DO NOT USE THIS APP! ### 1/5 — Why the poor review. *2025-07-28, version 1.2.9* I like the stories, they are short and sweet, and yes some are almost the same story. However, I did the weekly purchase, for my personal phone. Happy that I will get to finish the book I started to read, to than see that the funds was not credited to my app. I have tried to reach out, sent msgs, and haven’t gotten any response. So I by the end of this week I don’t hear from anyone, than I know not to ever do this to myself again. ### 2/5 — Expensive *2025-07-17, version 1.2.9* The stories are not worth 150 coins when they are not complete Finish series 1 before you write series 2 & 3 Annoying format Don't expect complete stories. Better off downloading another app that allows you to watch ads to get new chapter to read Deleting app ### 3/5 — Payment info required *2025-07-13, version 1.2.9* I use to be able to open your app without payment information why did you change ### 1/5 — One star because of…… *2025-06-22, version 1.2.9* I have enough coins yet I can’t unlock next chapters! It makes me wonder if it’s really SCAM because it asks to top up everyday!! I recommend y’all DON’T DOWNLOAD THIS APP!!! ### 1/5 — Do Not Fall For This *2025-06-07, version 1.2.8* You pay $30 for a half dozen chapters of poorly written stories with bad English and grammar. Nothing but a scam. ### 1/5 — They worst. 9.99 for 4 chapters. They are insane *2025-06-02, version 1.2.8* The worst. Don’t waste your money ### 1/5 — Waste of Money and time *2025-06-02, version 1.2.8* After I use up the money I added to this app, I’m uninstalling it forever! It’s too expensive and u like other apps, the chapters a short! Also the chapters are more expensive than other book apps! Not worth a penny! ### 1/5 — Deceiving *2025-05-25, version 1.2.8* Link doesn’t work ### 2/5 — Disingenuous *2025-03-29, version 1.2.8* I gave it a 2 cos the stories I read were interesting. But stories with over 100 chapters?? And an automatic auto open that comes on even when disabled? Total rip off!! ### 1/5 — Expensive *2025-03-11, version 1.2.8* Not worth it at all. 199 coins for an 8 page chapter. ### 1/5 — If I could give it zero stars, I would. *2025-02-13, version 1.2.7* Every chapter is horribly overpriced and what you pay for a few, you could buy multiple completed books. Any author who uses this platform doesn’t care about having their work read, it’s a money grab. ### 1/5 — Nutty *2025-01-24, version 1.2.7* These prices are nutty I deleted as soon as I saw them not worth it ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-12-30, version 1.2.6* Nothing but Wattpad AI generated stories that cost more in a week than Netflix in a month. Just go to Wattpad or buy real books both are cheaper ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-12-25, version 1.2.6* Scam ### 1/5 — G *2024-12-24, version 1.2.6* Expensive ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Awful *2026-06-11, version 1.3.5* I just signed up and your stories repeat the same chapter over and over. Am I paying to read the same thing over and over. Really bad editing,sloppy and careless ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-04-16, version 1.3.4* I downloaded the app cause of their sample chapters in social media . I am so disappointed in the app. When i downloaded it, i topped up my coins and read a few chapters. I then noticed that i can get bonus coins for logging in to my facebook account which i did thinking it wouldn’t clear out my library or coins. Sadly, it did. Not only did i have to unlock the chapter i already paid for twice , they then would not let me use the bonus coins awarded with my second top up and for signing in to facebook to unlock a chapter. I am uninstalling this app as it is a big fat SCAM. I honestly dont know how it got 4 stars when its this terrible and expensive with its scammy behavior. I will stick with WebNovel instead atleast that app rewards what it promised and lets you use your coins, points and passes they even give out discount and offer free books ### 1/5 — Expensive con avoid *2026-04-05, version 1.3.4* 159 coins for goddam chapter should be put on watch dog absolute scam ### 1/5 — Rubbish *2026-03-25, version 1.3.4* After reading free chapters 129 coins to read any more chapters, deleting app after this review. Better apps available Now ### 1/5 — Rewards *2026-01-10, version 1.3.1* There is no rewards it’s not worth playing. When you try to get rewards it says 400 Bad Requests ### 1/5 — Wedding dress trashed *2026-01-09, version 1.3.1* The app just keeps saying “network error” and won’t let me get to the page I can purchase coins! It also says “404 error” when I hit Rewards to check in an earn coins! Poor design - breeds better coders. ### 1/5 — Check in *2025-12-26, version 1.3.1* For some reason I am unable to check in and get daily rewards ### 1/5 — Total scam *2025-11-07, version 1.3.0* Who can afford these stories? Many are poorly written,poor English, story changes, and names change. Can’t recommend any of these apps. ### 1/5 — Absolute Rubbish *2025-10-19, version 1.3.0* Story line drags on for expensive chapters, and then jumps to a completely different story. DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2025-09-26, version 1.3.0* Don’t download this app it’s a con the prices for coins are silly it said read more free chapters it’s a lie because there aren’t any ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Outstanding *2024-12-19, version 1.2.6* Very captivating stories!!
