### 1/5 — Hmmm???

*2026-07-08, version 1.4.2*

Why is it so expensive?? Why are the updates so slow only 1-2 chapters every so often, they aren’t even consistent with updates and they take forever to move along. I don’t mind paying but why does cost so much to read the books you like and the bonuses suck they aren’t really giving you anything for reading and purchasing coins for the books

### 1/5 — THIEVES

*2026-06-26, version 1.4.2*

They will not stop charging you when you cancel.  They will not answer any emails to stop do not use applepay they can’t help you make them stop. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS COMPANY.  They deserve no stars but you have leave one to comment

### 1/5 — Unhappy

*2026-06-16, version 1.4.2*

Like the other subscribers, I thought purchasing a subscription allowed me to read any book during the subscription period. But NOPE. And I see the platform responds to the complaint by saying, “the terms and conditions say, you are really only purchasing points with the subscription! Does anyone here read ALL the terms and conditions????  No one does, that is until they cannot read the books. So why doesn’t the platform make it clear upfront that you are only purchasing points, not a subscription?  Very frustrated.

### 1/5 — Fraud

*2026-04-15, version 1.4.2*

Trust me, not.worth.it 
They make it almost impossible for you to read a book and accumulate points without buying the points and even if you do buy, it’s insanely egregious. I spent two weeks saving up to get 90 points to unlock a chapter, came back the next day and they took away 12 points. Don’t support this unethical writer behavior

### 5/5 — The divorced wife's billion-dollar comeback

*2026-04-13, version 1.4.2*

An intriguing reed

### 5/5 — Love

*2026-04-11, version 1.4.2*

Love it so far

### 3/5 — Unauthorized charges

*2026-03-30, version 1.4.2*

Not a good value for the money. I’d have to spend $100 plus to read one book. Plus, I found charges for in app purchases that I know I did not make. I hadn’t opened the app in days but managed to purchase a coin bundle. I think not!

### 1/5 — Don’t waste your money on this app.

*2026-03-23, version 1.4.2*

This is one of the most expensive and disappointing apps you can read books on. The books are super expensive ( the cheapest purchase is $8.99 and gets you 900 coins which is equivalent to 7-8 chapters ) and the translation and grammar are horrendous. You will sometimes come across chapters that are a copy for the previous one. Essentially you will be paying 250-300 coins for identical chapters and support acts like they don’t know what you’re talking about. Also screenshot proof of all purchases because sometimes everything will disappear in your account and if you don’t have proof they will just say “oh well, you should have gotten proof”

### 1/5 — Deceptive & Expensive

*2026-03-22, version 1.4.2*

I bought some initial coins. And then I bought a “monthly package” and then another “monthly package”. Neither were a real monthly subscription. They were just a larger bundle of coins. They ran out just like others. It’s a scam. At least with other story apps & video apps a subscription actually means unlimited. The subscriptions for this app are a joke & mean nothing. No way I’m paying $100+ to read one book. A complete waste of money & time. Paid $60 and didn’t even get half way through the book.

### 2/5 — Not free n can’t earn coins

*2026-03-14, version 1.4.2*

It only allows you to read the same amount you can read on Facebook, after that. It tells you have to pay for coins to continue to read. It doesn’t allow you to win coins by checking in daily.  Only option, you’d only earn bonuses, which don’t count for you unlock the chapters! deleting app
