Don’t waste your time! ### 1/5 — Needs updating *2026-02-27, version 1.0.2* After downloading the app, you can’t get anything other than a screenshot of their icon. Nothing opens it. It’s just frozen in place. ### 1/5 — Think still needs fixing *2026-02-12, version 1.0.2* Download app to read a novel however the app hasn’t moved passed the logo screen ### 1/5 — It doesn’t download *2026-01-27, version 1.0.2* The app doesn’t open when I download it. I went on the website version and bought coins to finish reading a book and never received my coins to open the chapters. I reached out to them twice and no answer so I’m trying to dispute with my credit card.

Just stays on the logo. ### 1/5 — App doesn’t work / coin purchase missing *2025-11-30* I downloaded this app but it literally doesn’t open despite repeated attempts. I also purchased coins that I cannot use because the app doesn’t work. ## Most praised reviews (9 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — New Mom's Perfect Cọmpanion *2025-02-23, version 1.0.2* Just discovered this during my maternity leave and it's perfect! The short chapters are ideal for those middle-of-the-night feeding sessions; Currently devouring "The CEO's Hidden Past" - way better than scrolling Instagram! ### 5/5 — Best App My Daughter Recọmmended *2025-02-22, version 1.0.2* My daughter recọmmended this app and I'm hooked! The stories are surprisingly well-written. Love that I can switch between sweet romance and mystery depending on my mood. Great way to wind down after a long day of teaching. ### 5/5 — Night Shift Savior!@!@! *2025-02-20* Working night shifts at the hospital and these short chapters keep me going through breaks. The medical romance stories are my guilty pleasure - some are hilariously unrealistic but that's what makes them fun! ### 5/5 — Easy Reading for Seniors ❤️ *2025-02-20, version 1.0.2* Nearly 60 and loving these magical stories! The interface is easy to navigate (thank goodness) and the font size options are great for my aging eyes. These fantasy stories remind me of the books I used to read to my kids. ### 5/5 — Quality Literature for Modern Times *2025-02-18* As a retired English teacher, I'm impressed by the quality of writing in many of these stories. The fantasy selections are particularly engaging. I especially enjoy reading a chapter or two during my afternoon tea. "The Witch's Garden" has becọme my favorite. ### 4/5 — Better Than My Thesis LOL *2025-02-25, version 1.0.2* College senior procrastinating on my thesis lol. These bite-sized chapters are actually perfect for study breaks! The sci-fi collection is surprisingly deep - "Neural Link" has me questioning reality fr. ### 4/5 — Finally, Real LGBTQ+ Stories! *2025-02-20, version 1.0.1* Finally found an app with decent LGBTQ+ representation! The MM romance stories are so well-written and the character development is actually amazing. Monthly subscription is worth every penny for the quality content. ### 4/5 — Obsessed with this app rn!! 😍 *2025-02-18, version 1.0.1* OMG this app is literally my new obsession! The werewolf stories are SO GOOD, like I can't even 😭 Been binge-reading "Alpha's Secret" and skipping TikTok for this lol. The chapters are super quick to read between classes. Thx for making my boring bus rides way better! ### 2/5 — Not worth it *2026-03-20, version 1.0.2* The story I was reading was great and I’ve purchased 140 coins, which should’ve lasted to the end of the story since it was 20 coins to open each chapter. However, it kept taking my coins away. Save your money and get Kindle unlimited, which is only about $10 a month and you get all the books you want to read. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
