The chapters are short though. ### 4/5 — Good stories *2026-08-30, version 8.6.9* Good app with good stories. Shame about the price ### 4/5 — Its a joke *2026-08-30, version 8.6.9* I’ve been trying to get free coins but your Walmart ad just freezes up and you never get your point. Makes it hard to get the next chapter ### 4/5 — Love the stories but . . . *2026-08-30, version 8.6.9* I love the stories but the editing could be better and also the fact that you can’t finish a story without paying more for a subscription or watching a lot of ads is irritating. ### 2/5 — It’s ok *2026-08-29, version 8.6.9* This app is ok, but the chapters aren’t long enough for the amount of ads you have to watch to get one! ### 4/5 — Found a book that’s full of intrigue *2026-08-28, version 8.6.9* Way too many chapters but the storyline so far is good, hopeful that it remains that way it doesn’t need the spicy stuff. ### 4/5 — So far so good *2026-08-28, version 8.6.9* Just started a few days ago but easy to use ads to read at a pace that works for me!! ### 4/5 — Boas histórias *2026-08-28* Boas histórias, mas são intermináveis!!! Capítulos demais!!!! ### 5/5 — Stories *2026-08-26, version 8.6.9* Excellent books ### 4/5 — Great *2026-08-26, version 8.6.9* I love the app it is one of the very few that lets you earn free chapters multiple times a day. Big variety of stories to choose from and you have the option to have the book read to you if you don’t wanna actually read. The only thing I don’t like is once I got to the end of my book I realized the chapters are ridiculously expensive almost 300 coins to unlock and it stopped letting me watch videos. I’m sad to have spent over 40$ to finish a book and now I’m stuck waiting for days and days to come up with more coins because I refuse to just keep spending ### 4/5 — Easy read *2026-08-25, version 8.6.9* Easy good read ### 5/5 — GREAT READING *2026-08-25, version 8.6.9* AWESOME 🤩 books the one I’m currently reading is called the Phoenix, the scared Heiress Revenge ### 5/5 — Ótimo aplicativo *2026-08-25* Boas histórias e aplicativo fácil de manusear. ### 5/5 — Lecturas *2026-08-25, version 8.6.9* Excelentes historias ### 4/5 — Pretty good stories, *2026-08-24, version 8.6.9* The story is pretty good, it’s well written with no grammar mistakes so far. I wish it was easier to get the necessary coins to read each chapter. ### 5/5 — Really good *2026-08-24, version 8.6.9* I love these well written stories! ### 5/5 — ManoBook *2026-08-24, version 8.6.9* Interesting stories. App is easy to navigate ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-08-24, version 8.6.9* I really like that you don’t have to pay to read and that they give you alternate options. The stories are so good! ### 5/5 — Interesting Stories *2026-08-24, version 8.6.9* Love the stories ### 5/5 — Ok *2026-08-24* Avaliando pra ganhar moedas no app ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — way too many ads and not really free *2026-08-24, version 8.6.9* I am enjoying the book I am reading, but i can’t read more than two pages before I am forced to watch several minutes of ads to continue reading. It cut me off after a few pages and is making me come back tomorrow to read any more unless i pay big bucks. To actually read the book without ads, I would have to pay way more than it would cost to buy an ebook online for an unknown author. I am not coughing up $50 plus to pay to read a pretty good not great book. The ap claims to be free. don’t buy their bs. unless you are a really patient and slow reader, you will quickly become frustrated. ### 1/5 — Complete waste of time *2026-08-20, version 8.6.9* Well, this is really disappointing. As I got very involved in the book, I had to watch an entire evening of ads or read articles only to get part of a chapter. I was offered 2 chapters for watching 4 ads, then it added 4 more ads then no free chapters but need 279 coins! Done with this app. I can buy an entire ebook for what this app requires. ### 1/5 — Beware - false advertising *2026-08-09, version 8.6.9* The app offers a purchasable subscription but does not tell you in the offer that only certain books are included in the subscription. I added the app to read a specific book and purchased the subscription based on the offer of free reading. I then learned that the book I wanted to read was not covered. The book I wanted required the purchase of cpins. Waste of my money amd time. ### 1/5 — Free book app *2026-08-09, version 8.6.9* The only good thing about this app is the stories are free. Everything else is awful. Bad stories, bad grammar, must have been written by illiterate moronic writers. I use the term ‘writer’, loosely. It’s more like a massacre of the English language. No good, even FREE. ### 1/5 — 30 minute free reading *2026-08-07, version 8.6.9* Got 30 minute free reading, thought thats great, cracked on with reding the book, 30 minutes up and the chapters became locked and took me back by about 5, so now I have to watch another million ads to get to where I was, what a ball ache 😱 ### 1/5 — Free ???? *2026-08-06, version 8.6.9* Go to library. Not paying 100 s for one book ### 1/5 — Not Free - Can only go so far reading a book before a purchase is required *2026-08-05, version 8.6.9* Was going fine reading with adds until I reached chapter 121 and now a purchase is required to continue. Same with MoboReader and Kifflire. Deleting all apps by Changdu Tech. ### 1/5 — Couldn’t give less than one star *2026-07-22, version 8.6.6* Once you start. The books are good but the time and energy you have to use to get the next chapter is very frustrating. The chapters are really short three short pages and the adverts really long. Two or three before the next chapter is opened. When you do the math-each chapter lasting a few pages x two or three adverts +chapters in excess of 150= wasted effort. I still have not finished a book and I tried over two days, finally abandoning it when the adverts then had faults. Two days I cannot get back! ### 1/5 — Never letting a customers cancel. Just run around from site to site *2026-07-14, version 8.6.5* Not worth it go to Amazon ### 1/5 — Great App! *2026-07-09, version 8.6.3* I’m still reading my first story in this app, but so far it’s actually well written and compelling. Unfortunately, it completely falls apart several chapters in. There are weird plot holes and jumps, character names are mixed up, timelines collapse—it’s like reading different story ideas that the author started but changes and re-wrote without ever deleting the original text. What started with great promise collapses into a very disjointed read. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Review *2026-08-31, version 8.6.9* I love the app. Love the stories. There should be a better way to convert points into coins. Or other options to earn more coins. ### 5/5 — Excelente *2026-08-30* Livros muito bom ### 5/5 — Less interruptions *2026-08-30, version 8.6.9* Enjoy the app. Book so far is good, just wish there was less interruptions ### 5/5 — Excelente novela!! *2026-08-30* Uma história que prende a atenção!!! ### 5/5 — Novelas *2026-08-29, version 8.6.9* Excelente novelas entretenidas y interesantes ### 5/5 — Lecturas *2026-08-27, version 8.6.9* Bonitas historias ### 5/5 — Love this app *2026-08-27, version 8.6.9* I love this app because even when I don’t have money to buy my coins I can still read by watching ads! So worth it!! ### 5/5 — Untouchable the alpha’s miracle doctor *2026-08-27, version 8.6.9* Well written good character development love the main 2 characters. Like a strong female lead and a man who respects that. Herbal knowledge is pretty good to. ### 5/5 — Good App *2026-08-26, version 8.6.9* Since starting this app and books I found it easy to navigate and not nearly as expensive as some of the other apps. They give you a lot of free chapters daily. ### 5/5 — 👍🏽Stories 👎🏼For the number of ads *2026-08-26, version 8.6.9* I enjoy the stories especially the ones that elude to intimacy without graphic detail. My only real complaint is the short chapters require a large amount of ads. I get it that ads are how people get paid but honestly I have watched the same HIV and mesothelioma ads three times in a row. I have read them both completely.
