You pay a fortune to gain these. The Asians are starting to try and rip us off by charging so much. Not worth it to keep paying outrageous amounts. Cheaper to buy a good book! ### 1/5 — Total rip-off *2026-08-12* The 4 plus star rating is clearly from people paid to give a good review. In reality, you have to pay a fortune and even if you watch the ads, you get maybe 30 bonus a day, and you need 199 coins for a chapter. I’m not even sure if a bonus is worth the same as a coin. Don’t bother starting any of the stories, because you will either pay a fortune or just have to give up early. And honestly, even if you are enjoying the story, none of these are good enough stories to spend real money on! ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-08-12* You advertise that all chapters are free yet I hit a locked paywall I have already screenshot everything and will be notifiying apple services ### 1/5 — Points *2026-08-07* How do I earn free points daily ### 1/5 — Don’t bother! *2026-08-07* You are unable to finish a book without paying the monthly fee. So why would you even start one? ### 1/5 — No rewards nothing to fall back on *2026-08-07* I cant find a damn way to make rewards You get paid for the ads yet you cannot help someone to read a story?????? ### 1/5 — Price *2026-08-06* You could let us watch commercials. Not everyone can afford $80 a month. You get us to a place that grabs us, then it’s over you get money from all those ads so why not let us read the great stories ### 1/5 — False advert *2026-08-06* It ask for money to continue reading. so what is that advert " all chapters free to read"? ### 1/5 — Pay to read!! *2026-08-05* No option to watch ads to read chapters…. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-09-02* This app is a scam. Don’t even bother reading anything on it because it’s expensive and virtually impossible to earn enough for a chapter. Also, each chapter is 199 coins. Unbelievable ### 1/5 — Expensive *2026-08-31* Chapters are short and expensive 199 coins each. ### 1/5 — Absolute Rip-Off *2026-08-30* When you go to a bookstore and buy a book, you pay, what, $10-$35, depending on whether it’s an ebook, paperback, or hardcover. Maybe $45-$55 for a large or limited-run hardcover book. The book will have gone through an editing process prior to publication. The book will have been carefully designed by a human, its font, its layout, and the cover and interior art by a human artist with thought, skill, and talent. This app? Look forward to spending at least $100 on an unedited, un-proofread, unprofessional “novel” that is obviously not planned out. Each novel will cost you as much as the most-expensive college textbook. For no reason. Don’t support grifts like this. ### 1/5 — Stories = $$$ *2026-08-26* I would love to read more of the book I started on this app. It says the next chapter requires 199 coins to read. You go to the rewards section to see if you can watch an ad to unlock the next chapter. You get 10 coins per ad and the daily limit is 3 ads. It also lets you check in and the reward is 5 coins and you can get an additional 5 coins with a bonus ad from the check in so in total I can get 40 coins per day when the chapter is almost 5 times the cost. How is anyone supposed to read these books without using real money? ### 1/5 — Way too expensive!!! *2026-08-24* Seriously 199 coins to open a single chapter?!?! Do they think they have bestselling authors in there or stories that are completely original? Even bestselling authors don’t charge that much for their books so this whole nonsense about supporting the author is absurd. I agree the author deserves some compensation for the story, but not that much. It’s way too expensive. ### 1/5 — All chapters are not free *2026-08-22* All chapters are not free ### 1/5 — Horrible *2026-08-22* Do not purchase!!! They do NOT give you an option to cancel a subscription! It is a fraud!!!!!! ### 1/5 — Rip Off *2026-08-22* DONT WASTE YOUR TIME OR YOUR MONEY ON THIS APP!!! Be prepared to pay through the nose to read a chapter, with virtually zero ways to earn enough coins to read even a chapter a day. Not bad stories but it’s much cheaper to pay full price for a book at Barnes & Noble. Having to watch an ad per chapter on some apps is annoying but that not even an option here. ### 1/5 — Disappointing *2026-08-20* Found a story to read but it cost so much to read just one chapter. ### 1/5 — Free book claim is a lie *2026-08-17* Ads for this app claim that if you download the app then all chapters of this book you started reading is available for free. It’s not. It’s a bait and switch. Don’t bother. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
