Good story . This app charges you an arm & a leg for reading. After you’ve read so many chapters you no longer get to watch ads in exchange for a free chapter. They charge $5.99 for 2 chapters! I had 137 in coins or whatever it’s called. They took that plus the 5.99. I purchased. Only 2 chapters! Each chapter is 197 coins. What they give out in rewards it takes a week to come up with . After this story I’m deleting the app. They are money hungry! Not worth it

Can’t cancel subscription

** unless you want to be stuck with a subscription you can’t cancel don’t get this app**

I’ve been trying to cancel my subscription since I signed up a month ago because they only give you like 30 coins a day and the chapters are 100+ coins per chapter. There is no subscription under my Apple ID from this company so I can’t cancel it there. Their website is useless and only has FAQ not related to cancelling the subscription. They go through a 3rd party app called stripe that can’t even find my subscription to cancel. They don’t answer emails so basically I’m stuck paying 20$ a month unless I cancel my card. If anyone that works at Literie reads these reviews please cancel my dang subscription, or give me the information I need to cancel it. There’s no excuse for having to jump through so many hoops to cancel a subscription.

Unable to cancel

Downloaded the app a couple of weeks ago to read a story. Naturally it got me to pay $8.99 to continue reading. Fine. Planned on just cancelling after it was set up to continue. Well I haven’t ever dealt with an app being impossible to cancel. I have gone through the app & website & followed instructions on cancelling the app without success. I was now charged $9.99 2 more times (weekly) for apparently a weekly subscription?! Cancelling process says to go to subscriptions in My App Store. It doesn’t shows there or in purchases. I have spoken to Apple twice & they see absolutely no history of this anywhere on my account despite me being charged through Apple wallet. I have emailed Literie twice at the email they provide on their site with no response. I tried to come here for an option & the app help just sends me to the web to the same email. I have called my bank however they report they can only dispute what has been charged & not stop the company from charging. No idea what is happening but the story sure wasn’t worth this hassle.

Cancellation issues

Won’t let me cancel , directions how to cancel won’t work and still charging me weekly

Do not subscribe!!!!!!!!

There is no way to unsubscribe. There is no subscription in your Apple subscriptions to cancel either there or within the app. They will charge you!

You can’t cancel

Do not ever subscribe. You can’t cancel and the app team will not help you

Great books

Current book has been amazing so far

SCAM

Did the math on finishing a single book and it was $177. Said book requires over 17,500 coins to read completely, 500 coins cost 4.99, did the math and came up with the total costs just to be utterly disgusted. I’m perfectly willing to pay for a book, but almost $200 is no where close to a reasonable price. This app sucks and should consider restructuring their pricing I pay less for a year subscription on Galatea and they have way more book options and genre variety.

Rip off

Paid $50 and it wasnt even enough for the whole book

Subscription Fees- Not Honest

I just signed up for a month in app which shows the charge as $29.99. However, I was actually charged $44.98. Dishonest within minutes of making an account… not a great start.

Decent Ap but WAYY to expensive

I have to say I have always enjoyed the short stories, even though most of the plots are taken from published authors and adapted into something new. I don’t even mind the spelling, grammar, and plot hole issues. Honestly even the forgetting characters names doesn’t bother me I find it comical.

As an avid reader, I enjoy supporting up and coming authors BUT to spend $300+ dollars on one story is INSANE. We don’t even pay that for PUBLISHED authors.

I thought when you signed up for the subscription it was unlimited reading but I was mistaken. When I see over $300 taken from my account.

Never in my life would I except something like that! Nor would I pay that… it’s an absolute rip off… sorry authors but that’s not okay!

Lying about purchase

States you can read a book if you buy a subscription. Then you can’t finish it and no way to cancel

Horrible Cancellation Process

Tried to cancel this thought the steps. Doesn’t allow. Not showing under my App Store. Reached out to the company many times. No response.

SOOOOO DISAPPOINTED

I have literally payed a monthly subscription and it should slow me to read for as long as I want !! Is that not whole point of a monthly subscription and two I paid for credits to read a whole book twice and still asks for more !! Please do something this is absurd

Definitely feels like a scam

You would think paying 35.98 dollars you would at least be able to read one full book…. Noooo I don’t recommend

One of the better reading apps

So far I am enjoying this app. Good selection of content, proper grammar and easy to work. My only complaint would be not enough ways to earn points and some short chapters are a little high in points. I will say though I have seen worse.

Honestly- I read several

I have used a few different apps. So far these on this are my favorites. I can’t put it down once I pick a book. I also like that while I’m reading it doesn’t disappear. Several other apps will delete or remove books from the app and I cant find or finish them. I have not had that problem with this app so far.

Wow sooo expensive

I’m giving this a 2 star rating due to how incredibly expensive it is to read the chapters.. if I were to actually pay to read the remainder of the story I’m currently reading..(which I really want to as it’s a pretty good story so far) it’s going to cost me WELL OVER $200. It’s ridiculous. I wish this was like other apps where you could get a subscription that allows you to read the whole story instead of paying for each chapter. Ugh I’m so sad I won’t be able to finish the story..

Great reads but don’t do it! Soo $$$ 300 later on one story-

This is literally the most expensive book I’ve read besides a college book. You get sucked in and forced to buy coins or vouchers to finish the story. I actually felt disappointed I even downloaded it because of how expensive the 1 story was.

Rip Off

Fraudulent subscription and then you still pay to unlock chapters ! Only 2 short chapters for $15us . App Store should remove this app
