Hmmm???

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

THIEVES

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

Unhappy

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.

Fraud

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

Unauthorized charges

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!

Don’t waste your money on this app.

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”

Deceptive & Expensive

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.

Not free n can’t earn coins

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

Do NOT give this app your money!

The short version? DO NOT DO IT RUN AWAY NOW. I know the premises are really intriguing but cut your losses early and look at how predatory the subscription and offers are. The book I chose has 178 chapters and it would cost me $180 to finish it yet more “chapters” (like a few pages) are being added! Use AI to imagine the end if you need but it’s not worth your time and money. I guarantee there’s an affordable kindle book with a similar story!

Not Happy..at all!

I’m deeply disappointed in this app. I have spent waaaay too much money on the story. I was at 204 chapters and counting and I have no idea when it will end. It’s awful to continue stopping the story and requesting writers tip after so many chapters again and again..and this is after investing in a subscription thinking it would allow me a continuous reading experience WITHOUT INTERRUPTION, but, of course, I find out reading other reviews that it covers bonuses or whatever, of which I continuously run out of. Looks like I’ll have to leave the really good story to protect myself from further scamming. Horrible way to do business.

Unreliable

I accidentally subscribed twice. I emailed customer support days ago and have heard nothing. The app does not give any good way to seek help, and I have not received any of the daily coins I am supposed to get for subscribing, either. Don’t give these people your money.

Good but expensive

A bit pricey for only getting chapters and not a book

Very Steep in Cost

I purchased a month’s subscription and used up all the coins in a few hours besides paying for 9000 additional coins. So in less than 24 hours all coins were used up. How can a month’s subscription be used up in less than 24 hours???? This is a scam.☹️

Good reads

Enjoy so many of these books became the stories are real-life

Too expensive

Interested in the books- but with no option to choose an unlimited subscription, it’s extremely expensive to get thru a single book

Rewards

So I guess you can’t watch videos to read these stories! Not paying to read.

Monthly Subscription isn’t Unlimited Reading

A bit misleading - this is not like a typical app for video dramas or books where a subscription gives you unlimited access during the subscription; you have limited access and you still have to buy additional coins to keep reading. Negates the point of a subscription! For the content … I am hooked on the book and will finish it, the uninstall the app.

This app is a SCAM

So I bought the monthly subscription of $19.99, which isn’t that cheap. You can only get a few chapters in one book before it wants you to pay more money to unlock a few more chapters. A that rate, you’re spending more than $100 to read ONE book. This app is a scam. Don’t download.
