### 1/5 — Joke of an app

*2025-12-28, version 3.1.0*

I purchased a subscription that I couldn’t cancel. I sent 3 emails, used the chat feature and no one gets back to you until you have been charged again. Then literally the day you have been charged they respond asking more and wait until the get charged again. I had to cancel my card after already getting repeatedly billed. Not worth is.

### 3/5 — App update?

*2025-10-27, version 3.1.0*

I’m guessing there was some sort of update, however, now ads pop up in the middle of reading. I cannot express just how annoying that is. It’s not the ads that enable you to read a free chapter. No, these are just random ads that interrupt your reading. If there is a way to get rid of them they need to go. I like the stories, can’t stand the ads.

### 1/5 — Awful update

*2025-09-28, version 3.1.0*

Unable to scroll through unread chapters that were previously purchased.  This update is horrible. Wasted money.

### 1/5 — Wow

*2025-08-24, version 3.0.0*

They keep deleting my reviews. The app would be good if they didn’t cost over a 100 coins per chapter(4pages tops) coin packages are too expensive.

### 1/5 — STOLEN BOOKS

*2025-07-26, version 3.0.0*

Finding her worth is a stolen book from Wattpad. I didn’t have any other way to report it so I came here.

### 1/5 — Over $300 to finish downloading book

*2025-06-22, version 3.0.0*

Again great stories but too expensive.   An additional $300 to download the rest of the book after what I’ve already paid is ridiculous.  I’ll stick to kindle for $12 a month and still get similar wolf stories.

### 3/5 — Frustrating rip off

*2025-05-17, version 3.0.0*

I decided to give it a try bc the story was juicy but I’ve already spent $30 and I haven’t even hit the middle of the book! Way too expensive and not worth it. They should offer annual subscriptions bc buying an actual book would be cheaper. Save your money.

### 4/5 — Good Reads

*2025-03-14, version 3.0.0*

Good collection of books. Well written and engaging.

### 5/5 — Love it

*2025-03-14, version 3.0.0*

Really love this app and all the stories in it

### 5/5 — Second Chance Mate

*2025-03-14, version 3.0.0*

Awesome book. It jumps right in!
