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! ### 2/5 — Annoying messages overlaying end of each chapter *2022-06-21* At the end of each chapter a message overlays the last paragraph advising it’s taking coins out of your purchase. The chapters are only a few pages each making more coins needed to buy more frequently. The story is good, however I’ve had to interpret some phrases to English in my mind. There are many typos as well. I will be deleting this app when of if I ever finish this book. I may just leave when my coins run out this time, due to frustration! No reply is required! ### 3/5 — Pregnant again *2021-10-31, version 2.0.2* I am unable to receive my reward bonuses ### 1/5 — Waste of money *2021-09-17* This app takes a lot of your money for stories that never get updated. Waste of money **Developer response:** Hi, I'm sorry for the inconvenience. We have finished novels and updated novels in our application. If you only want to read the finished novel, you can check to see if the novel is finished on the book details page. ### 1/5 — Don’t get sucked in 1 book around £50 *2021-09-11, version 2.0.2* Is out of rages ! I have picked 2 books very similar with 1000 mistakes, inconsistency and not making sense will 100 repeat it self. I’m sorry I never payed £40 for paper books, so how come every 3 days £8.99 cousins lasted just 1/5 of book is totally rip of afte £40 still not enough!!! Useless! ### 1/5 — Too expensive *2021-08-22* We have to pay for each and every chapter.. not worth it.. even if it was hardcover wouldn’t cost this much.. even after paying a lot more money we get to read a very little .. you can charge for the app, instead each story’s each chapter I need to pay.. and this is too coastly .. who will be interested if it is like this.. story is good, but it is not worth this much money,, I have spent atleast 3thlusand indian rupees, still I am unable to complete the half of the story.. very disappointing.. **Developer response:** I'm sorry I didn't satisfy you. We will try our best to improve. In the future, we will also launch member activities to make recharge more preferential. Then you can unlock more chapters. ### 1/5 — Expensive *2021-07-31* It’s expensive and not worth it. **Developer response:** Hello, we have received your feedback, I'm sorry not to make you satisfied, we will improve in the future. Thank you for your feedback. ### 3/5 — Too Expensive *2021-07-30, version 2.0.0* The books are great to read but very expensive to recharge. Other apps are much cheaper. I don’t think it’s possible to finish a book without spending loads of money. Which is very disappointing. You look are reducing your rates. ### 1/5 — Costly! Don’t bother! *2021-07-28, version 2.0.0* Can any of these novel charge a standard price for us to read to the whole book?? From the looks of all these novel apps it take as much money as they can! The novel will cost more than if you buy a book, hence I am deleting this app also!!! ### 1/5 — Point usage keeps going up *2021-07-24* I really enjoy the stories the app has but the fact that the chapters go up in points is extremely frustrating. It doesn’t show the price of each chapter either so I never know what to expect. It would be nice if there was one point amount or price to buy a whole story. **Developer response:** Hi, sorry, we currently only support unlocking each chapter, and we cannot purchase the entire novel yet. We will consider buying the entire novel in the future. But before you unlock, the unlocking floating layer of each chapter will be clearly written, unlocking the coins needed for the current chapter. You can clearly see the cost of unlocking the current chapter. ### 1/5 — Too Expensive *2021-07-20, version 2.0.0* I already spend £10 and I am only in episode 68 not even in half of the whole episodes😡😡😡 your ripping us off! I’m not recommending this apps. 👎🏼👎🏼👎🏼 ### 3/5 — LikeRead *2021-07-14, version 2.0.0* It’s a very nice app with nice books, but we spend quite a lot of money compared to just buying a book either physically or digital. I think you should re-assess how much people are charged, especially when it’s short chapters which we pay massive amounts for. Also, maybe there could be other ways of gaining coins, such as constantly watching videos or ads. Other than that, it’s a good app ### 1/5 — Dont even try it *2021-07-13, version 2.0.0* I spent £20 and i can’t even finish 1 book is already asking me to credit again. ### 2/5 — pertaining to most books *2021-07-04, version 2.0.0* Stories are food yet the update for the chapters takes a long time. It decrease the momentum of the reader while reading g the novel. Somehow, it’s dissappointing. Authors and editors should be aware of this if they want to keep up with their novel ### 2/5 — No bonus *2021-06-26* This app has good stories but nothing is free. No bonus awards for using their app to read books. A big downer since you have to pay for every chapter **Developer response:** Hello, we have received your feedback, I'm sorry not to make you satisfied, we will improve in the future. Thank you for your feedback. ### 3/5 — Cool app but hella expensive *2021-06-13, version 1.2.9* App is not bad at all, story are nice except for a few grammar errors but it would be nice to watch videos to get coins on IOS like I’m talking every time you ran short of coins just watch a video cause otherwise it’s hella expensive. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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. ### 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. ### 1/5 — Review *2022-06-28, version 2.0.2* Today I had charges on my Apple account from Read Writer that were not authorized Would like money back ### 1/5 — App seems unstable *2022-05-29* After spending money to read book, app will not open saying network unavailable BUT every other app is working perfectly. Have tried trouble shooting but nothing. Completely ripped me off. ### 1/5 — Too much money *2022-04-28, version 2.0.2* If I pay out for every chapter I read this book will cost 75.00 way too much money like book but will be deleting app chapters are too short makes book drag on and you can’t claim bonus you earn doesn’t work ### 1/5 — CUSTOMER SERVICE IS ON VACATION??? *2022-03-04, version 2.0.2* I just downloaded the app and purchased coins. My account still shows No order in Recoverable Order. When I go to Customer Service I am sent straight to Facebook Messenger to be sent the message that it is ON VACATION and to leave my ID # and explain my problem. I guess I am out of luck until ‘Customer Service’ gets back from vacation? Not impressed and want a refund!😡 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Subscription *2024-06-21* Is there a monthly fee you can pay versus paying for chapters? ### 5/5 — Love the app *2022-07-12, version 2.0.2* Love the app but way too expensive ### 5/5 — Earning more coins, chapters cost less *2021-08-19* I am enjoying this app. I just wish the chapters cost less coins. I hope there is a way you can earn on your coins throughout the day instead of being limited, like video ads, connecting to social media etc. **Developer response:** I'm glad you like our book. We have received your feedback and will improve it in the future. Thank you for your feedback. ### 5/5 — Summer sweetheart *2021-06-09, version 1.2.9* No comments ### 5/5 — Rewards *2021-05-25, version 1.2.8* The rewards given does not even worth one chapter? You have nice novel and fun to read but waste for a day trying to get rewards to read one chapter. If gathered enough the chapter starts again on the previous chapter not the new or next chapter ### 5/5 — Summer Sweetheart *2021-05-03* This is my most favorite story to date. It’s not too sugary-meaning the heroine is too innocent, clueless, helpless. I really love how the writer strengthens Summer character after each trial. I love the fact that Leonardo can be so strong, unrelenting, stubborn, unpredictable, and predictable, but is vulnerable to all things concerning Summer. Bravo to the writer! I anticipate more stories **Developer response:** I'm glad you like our book. We will try our best to do better. ### 5/5 — Summer Sweetheart *2021-04-06* Can you update more than 5 chapters please? I refuse to read another story until summer sweetheart is finished, and could you make the story more affordable, they’re good and we’re sure to support you. Minimize cost, more support, more money, fast sales, small profit, more money **Developer response:** Sorry to keep you waiting, we will update as soon as possible. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2021-03-11, version 1.2.4* It helps me relax and your books are awesome reads. ### 5/5 — Love *2021-02-01, version 1.2.3* I like the real ups and downs in relationships! And the uncertainty ### 5/5 — Stories *2021-01-04, version 1.2.2* Awesome app love the stories --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
