### 5/5 — great tool

*2026-07-18*

to be able to get that book out my head has been great. How do I get to have a hard copy

### 5/5 — amazing app (Outstanding Good Job)

*2026-07-14*

You can write an outline for an entire sitcom season in 15 mins with editing and recomposing.   if i would add anything it would be more female voices. tia carrere maybe?

### 3/5 — Buggy

*2026-06-28*

Okay, so this is going to be a lengthy review. First off, love the app. You can make any story and do anything. You want horror? You got it. Want spicy romance with action being a superhero? Easy. I only have a few complaints about the female voice sometimes saying random words during short sentences. 
Now for the complaint: I have been using this app for almost 3 months and I opened the app today and for some reason I was logged out. I tried to log back in but it asked me to buy another subscription. I tried to re-sign in again and it still asked for another payment. When I tried to make the new payment it said my subscription was active on another account and now I lost my 13 books. I don’t know how to bypass the paywall and re-access my account and now I think I’m just going to cancel my subscription and never be able to finish by books.

### 3/5 — Buggy AI

*2026-05-18*

Tried to make another account but couldn’t because I’m perma stuck on the screen telling me to pick a subscription. Can’t access my other account so I can’t use the app anymore ;/;

### 2/5 — Pointless without paying for a subscription

*2026-05-07*

What is the point of allowing someone to make the audio book, not allowing them to be able to listen to the entire thing, or even make corrections? Have a cap on how many can be made for free, or don’t allow people to make their audio books for free, but don’t give limited access to the only one we’re allowed to make for free. You’re not going to last like this.

### 5/5 — Blindninja

*2026-05-04*

Really enjoy the app, although I would really appreciate a way to add sound effects, or the AI to understand to put them there when I tell it to you, it literally just narrates them into the story it doesn’t give actual sounds, although I understand how hard that may be, and if you delete a book, you’re not happy with could y’all make it so your credits come back?

### 5/5 — it's really cool and awesome

*2026-04-17*

it's really fun addictive even however you have to be very patient or pay money because you could only make a certain amount of books at a time and then you have to wait a certain amount of days and basically it's trying to get you to pay but you don't have to pay which is why I still gave it a good rate

### 5/5 — Fun app if you like making story’s

*2026-03-15*

It’s truly wonderful to have something like this app I love the ability to make story’s based on just ideas and concepts and listen to other people’s ideas, great concept hope this app stays for years to come

### 2/5 — Amazing idea, frustrating execution.

*2026-03-14*

As someone who is dyslexic, I’ve always had story ideas but struggled with actually writing them. This app finally made it possible for me to turn those ideas into a real book. With enough guidance, I generated an 18 chapter story that I’m genuinely proud of.

However, the point system is extremely aggressive.

You can burn through 80k points just trying to get a story started. Every correction, suggestion, or question costs points, and even minor edits regenerate large sections of the story.

That means you’re constantly paying to fix problems the AI created in the first place.

The concept behind this app is fantastic, but the current pricing structure makes it feel more like a novelty than a real writing tool. If the pay model were redesigned, this could become something truly special.

### 5/5 — Addiction

*2026-03-11, version 1.3.27*

Got me addicted after writing my first few fanfiction ideas and listening to the story
