And the books were really good and then all of a sudden it decided to start opening chapters without my permission. The auto open was on, but it didn’t just open that chapter. It opened the next chapter 2, and if I switched to that chapter it opened the next chapter. I don’t want it to do that. That’s it that’s cheating. It wasn’t even letting me get to the chapter before stealing it from me. The worst part is if you go back and reread a chapter to remind yourself what happened last it takes your coins, even though you’ve already paid for that chapter with coins it’s taking your coins again. This is wrong and I don’t think I wanna keep reading books with a company that is cheating people out of their coins. ### 4/5 — Love the stories *2026-08-25, version 8.7.0* Most of the stories seem to be well written, with a good storyline. Aggravating trying to get points to read more but it gives you options besides spending money to do so. ### 4/5 — It’s okay *2026-08-25, version 8.7.0* The books are really good, but i ended up buying the VIP pack thinking i could ready any book which i can not so i cancelled it. I do enjoy that you can get coins by watching videos im unsure if there is a limit to that or not but i wish the chapters were cheaper!!! ### 4/5 — Untouchable The Alpha’s Miracle Doctor *2026-08-25, version 8.7.0* This book is one of the best. It keeps you intrigued from the first page until the last when the best ones I have read yet the characters are lifelike and very unique. ### 3/5 — Captivating stories *2026-08-25, version 8.7.0* Good stories, a bit expensive but being able to watch ads to gain chapters is a nice feature ### 3/5 — Good app *2026-08-25, version 8.6.9* Decent app stories are good. Lots of advertising though especially to get free coins but the coins don’t go far compared to how much time you spend watching ads. ### 5/5 — Love the App *2026-08-25, version 8.6.9* This app is easy to read and has some really good stories to find. It’s easy to get coins to buy chapters without having to spend money ### 4/5 — 👍🏽 *2026-08-25, version 8.6.9* App is easy to use. Lots of opportunity for free reading without purchase ### 5/5 — All *2026-08-25, version 8.6.9* I really love the storylines and most of the books are very professionally written. ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-08-25, version 8.6.9* Love the books!! ### 4/5 — Decent app *2026-08-25, version 8.6.9* Decent app, nice that you can watch ads for free chapters. However the points vs coins thing is kind of annoying, very hard to get coins. ### 5/5 — Addicting *2026-08-25, version 8.6.9* Great stories! It’s hard to stop reading they are so good! ### 4/5 — Pretty good comparatively *2026-08-24, version 8.6.9* I find it somewhat easier to earn coins/points for new chapters than other apps like this . The story is also quite interesting and relatively well written. ### 5/5 — Pricey but Overall Good *2026-08-24, version 8.6.9* I enjoy the books and the app is user friendly. I do wish the VIP membership covered all novels. It’s quite expensive to read the non-VIP books. ### 4/5 — So far so good *2026-08-24, version 8.6.9* Just started with one book and I love the story. Hopefully most of the books are like this. 🤞🏽 ### 5/5 — MoboReels *2026-08-24, version 8.6.9* I really like this app because of how many books they have and that’s it has a read out loud option for those who don’t want to read but want to know what happens in the book and can listen to the audio ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Приложение, которое сильно подводит читателя *2026-08-25, version 8.7.0* Мало того, что после каждой главы длинющие рекламы, длительность которых может достигать более 160 сек, и их может быть до 3-х подряд. Но даже в этом случае, читая романы вы не можете быть уверенным, что сможете их дочитать до конца. После 100 главы вас может выбросить из романа, и придётся начинать с начала, а все прочитанные главы уже будут вновь заблокированы. Либо нужно будет покупать возможность читать. Поэтому приходится просто бросать чтение и переходить на что-то новое. Хороших романов нет. Все очень примитивное , словно школьник писал ### 1/5 — Scam or Bad App??? *2026-08-25, version 8.7.0* This app won’t let you click the area to cancel. The phone number doesn’t work. The email is from someone in china. Beware!!! I reported them to the FTC. ### 1/5 — Scam? *2026-08-25, version 8.7.0* I DID NOT sign up and am being charged. I cannot get anyone to cancel this and am frustrated. This is a scam ### 1/5 — Read *2026-08-25, version 8.6.9* I just want to be able to finish my book! You make it so hard!!!!! ### 1/5 — Отвратительно *2026-08-23, version 8.6.9* Отвратительно. Не просто очень много рекламы, а безобразно много. Чтобы прочитать одну главу, надо посмотреть две, три рекламы длительностью не менее 1,5 минут. А главы крохотные. Дочитаю и удалю приложение, невозможно пользоваться. ### 1/5 — What! *2026-08-22, version 8.6.9* Painful reading for free by collecting coins and points. I can’t believe these stories are so expensive so I wouldn’t buy coins! Just passing a few minutes each day by reading one page a day🤣 Watch out for the Write a Review for 50 coins! Still waiting for the coins 🤣 ### 1/5 — Feels scammy *2026-08-19, version 8.6.6* You spend well over $100 and watch hundreds of ads and still can’t finish one book ### 1/5 — Ужасное приложение *2026-08-17* Выкачка денег за романчики!!! рекламы после каждой главы, если не покупать монеты. Чтобы прочесть одну книгу целиком почти 9к рублей, вы с ума сошли!!!обходите стороной данное приложение для чтения романов, которые не стоит своих денег и времени ### 1/5 — Очень плохо *2026-08-17* «Не приложение, а сборник рекламы с намёком на книгу» Поставила ради одной новеллы, но пожалела с первой же главы. 📺 Реклама после КАЖДОЙ главы. При этом главы микроскопические — читаешь 30 секунд, а потом смотришь ролик. И так 50 раз за книгу. Прочитать спокойно невозможно. 💰 Дорого даже с подпиской. Купила пробный период — думала, откроют все главы. Нет! Всё равно нужно покупать монеты. Одна книга выходит дороже бумажного тома. Получается обман. ❌ Автора нет в природе. Указано «Алла Островская» — но такой писательницы нигде нет. Похоже, имя просто придумали, чтобы книга выглядела «родной». Проверить негде. ### 1/5 — Refund *2026-08-16, version 8.6.6* They keep saying I don’t have a subscription but take money out my account every week and won’t respond to any emails don’t sign up !!!!They are scammers ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Vicki *2026-08-25, version 8.7.0* Love the stories ### 5/5 — Reading is cool *2026-08-25, version 8.7.0* Just gave to watch a few adds for each chapter not the worst reading app I’ve used but definitely no wattpad. ### 5/5 — Nice App so far *2026-08-25, version 8.7.0* Nice app so far. The stories are good thus far. Will update again at a later time. 5 stars at this moment. ### 5/5 — Purchase *2026-08-25, version 8.7.0* This has been great. You do not need to make purchases but watch a few ads it lets you read the next chapter ### 5/5 — Good little app *2026-08-25, version 8.7.0* Good stories that in you get sucked into from facebook, watch ads or spend coins to unlock chapters ### 5/5 — Your uncle is my husband *2026-08-25, version 8.7.0* Love it ### 5/5 — MoboReader *2026-08-25, version 8.7.0* I have found some awesome stories on this app. Well written and great story lines that can keep you reading. ### 5/5 — Wow *2026-08-25, version 8.6.9* Best ### 5/5 — Отличное приложение *2026-08-25, version 8.6.9* Книги очень захватывают, не возможно остаться ### 5/5 — Give it a try ! *2026-08-25, version 8.6.9* Love it!
