### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-01-17, version 2.0.2*

Can not cancel my subscription. This is a scam. I didn’t want it in the first place but they trick you into buying the subscription. Then just keep charging you and not giving you anyway to cancel the subscription. Do not get this App.

### 5/5 — Subscription

*2024-06-21*

Is there a monthly fee you can pay versus paying for chapters?

### 1/5 — Subscription

*2024-02-03, version 2.0.2*

Having trouble canceling subscription. One month doesn’t cover o e book.

### 1/5 — Not enough chapters a day!!!

*2023-07-28*

For the amount of money you charge to read a book with the only way to get bonus points is to check in or read for over 10 minutes. Ask your authors to upload more than 5 little chapters a day please!!!

A very unhappy reader

### 1/5 — Scammers

*2023-02-14, version 2.0.2*

I’m so angry that I don’t understand why the apple keep taking money out of my account but not even connected me to the app so I can read the book. This is not the first time and this beyond scams and ripping me off. Can I please get my refund back or allow me to read the book up to a $51 worth. Saane Garrett New Zealand

### 1/5 — Fraud

*2022-12-18*

Do not use this app. 
I purchased coins on this app. Prior to purchasing coins, the chapter I was going to read was to cost 11 coins. Once I made the purchase, it tripled in cost to read the chapter. I cannot believe Apple is allowing applications to exist on their platforms like this. I am disappointed more than I can say. I will be seeking a refund. And warning everyone I can of this fraudulent app.

### 2/5 — Way too expensive

*2022-09-17*

The app is very clunky to use. Can’t even get the rewards. And it is way too expensive to read. No matter how good the regurgitated story may be, and make no mistake it is , it isn’t in any way worth what is being charged. These apps should be ashamed of taking advantage of people in these hard times.

### 4/5 — Expensive chapter

*2022-09-10*

I like it, but these days, chapters are getting more expensive! You should open more options for free coins or points!

### 1/5 — Poor

*2022-08-29*

1. The writing and grammar is poor.
2. The wrong name is used multiple times in the story I was reading.
3. I could have bought a published book for what I paid to read a portion of this book. 

The plot was great and intriguing. I could have over looked the price if the quality was better or the quality if it wasn’t so expensive. Now I’m just mad that I’ve spent the day reading part of a book I’ll never finish, and I wasted $10.

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2022-07-12, version 2.0.2*

Love the app but way too expensive
