My iPad had an update last night and now your app is half the size it was before. If you can fix it please make it full screen.

Absolute scam
No way to cancel if you buy on their website at the discounted price and they will not respond to your emails for cancellation requests.
Unable to cancel
Have been unable to cancel subscription, no response from customer support
Expensive & Stories Are NEVER Finished
The one positive I have is that the stories are pretty well written and draw you in quickly. But that’s it. The monthly subscription does not mean unlimited — in fact, you can’t finish 1 book on a monthly subscription. If you want to be able to easily read though, you have to buy coins and they are not cheap. Additionally, I have read through 6 books now and not one was complete. They all end with an incomplete story saying “more chapters coming soon” — with no indication as to when they’ll be coming nor how many more. There has to be better options out there that don’t cost an arm and a leg and actually can provide complete stories. I had high hopes but honestly, DO NOT waste your time!

DO NOT BUY
They used to have an unlimited reading subscription, but that’s now gone. Now the app is just like all the other trading apps where they charge out of the wazzo. Buying a physical book is cheaper than reading a story on here using coins. DO NOT BUY!!
Had trouble canceling subscription
I signed up for the weekly subscription but found I wasn’t able to cancel it. The subscription is not in the App Store and when I looked at the FAQ the instructions to cancel do not match where to go in the app. I still can’t find where to go to cancel the subscription. I found an email and have sent at least 4 emails with no response. I even sent messages through the feedback button, once a day for a week with no response. I ended up having to call my CC company and block them so they couldn’t process the payment. The chapters are expensive, but that’s typical of apps like theses.

Subscription impossible to cancel
I got sucked into a story. Signed up for a weekly subscription. Reached the point where it was time to cancel and the instructions in the app for how to do so don’t work. 6 weeks and counting without being able to cancel.
The feedback form results in a bot telling me to use the nonfunctional instructions to cancel. Emails to the customer service email listed in the user agreement go unanswered.
ETA 10/13/2026: This review finally prompted a response where the instructions for how to cancel through PayPal were provided. However, the subscription is not going through Apple, and it is not going through PayPal so those instructions don’t enable cancellation. This app has some of its subscriptions running through Apple/Google, some running through PayPal, some through Stripe, some through Ayden, and possibly other payment processors too. Don’t subscribe unless you want to commit to the work of tracking down how to cancel a subscription running through an undisclosed process.

DO NOT MAKE PURCHASE
I made a subscription purchase and it won’t let me cancel. The subscription is not showing up in my Apple account, but I’m still being charged. I even tried deleting my account and I’m still being charged.
Not bad
Good stories but everything is so expensive, a regular book you can buy for maybe $10 but $10 here only get you a few chapters, not worth it, especially with how many grammatical errors there are.
Scam
This app will not let me cancel. Is charging me 19.99 a week. I have sent a cancellation and still being charged. No one response at all
Cancellation instructions don’t work. Will continue to charge you.
The app says to cancel under your Apple subscriptions. When I go there the app isn’t listed to cancel and it continues to charge me. No other options are listed for canceling.
Can not cancel
I am being charged 19.99 a week for unlimited and i cannot cancel. This is so frustrating.
Won’t allow me to cancel
There’s no option or email to cancel. I purchased the unlimited reading membership and it keeps charging my account $10 a week but it won’t let me cancel
Money pit! Negative star review
I bought unlimited and still had to keep paying. I still haven’t finished a book and I have paid over $70! I will not be finishing the book because I can’t imagine how much it will cost me!
Response from developer
Hi, thank you for your feedback. We are sorry for the confusion but please note that according to the Coin Pack subscription rules, after subscribing, you cannot read books for free. But you can get MORE check-in Vouchers/Bonus by subscribing.
Do not subscribe
This app is not appearing on Apple subscriptions, so if you sign up for a subscription, there will be no way for you to cancel it. I’ve been working with Apple and my credit card company, the email they have to contact the merchant pushes back with an error message. They keep charging you weekly with no way out.

Trapped in subscription
Initially when signing up i tried the free trial for 7 days and then 19.99 every week . After about 2 weeks i go to cancel the subscription and its not listed in my apple account as a purchase but the charges keep hitting my card . Im unable to get in contact with support yet but the link to cancel a subscription sends me to all my subscriptions but that one not included .

Cancelling Subscription
Once you do it it’s nearly impossible to get out of it, there nowhere to cancel and the link brings you to subscriptions but they’re not up there. So in the mean time they just keep charging weekly fees even though I want to cancel. It shouldn’t be so hard to find a button to unsubscribe yet they make it impossible

Every damn book
If you don't want to pay to read a chapter, you have to wait for days to have enough bonus for it. This is ridiculous.
Unreceived credits
Purchased credits to continue reading a story and I never received the credits. Very disappointing.
