### 1/5 — Ridiculously expensive

*2026-07-31, version 5.2.2*

Pathetic scam. The novels are good but the pricing is insane. The novels have 2000+ chapters and costs 60-200+ coins per chapter…it is about £1 for 1000 coins. You do the math how much it costs for a single story. Wtaf!! Oh and no the prime subscription does nothing. Cannot read for free like it says so I would not recommend in the slightest unless you are rich or do not read much. As you can get maybe 1-2 chapters free a DAY

### 2/5 — Too many abandoned books

*2026-07-26, version 5.2.2*

Way too many abandoned books on this site-
Authors should be paid when the story is complete. It is maddening to waste money and invest time in a story that never ends.

### 1/5 — Do not use this site

*2026-06-29, version 5.2.2*

Advertised as ‘all chapters free’; however at chapter 18 I was asked to pay to read my more chapters. False advertising!

### 1/5 — Don’t download this app

*2026-06-25, version 5.2.2*

They added forced video ads. Similar apps at least give a free chapter daily and don’t have non stop ads. You chose to watch them not like this app forced each time you back out of a book, open the app or in the middle of every chapter. Even had them trying to leave feedback. All these type apps are scams having you over pay but this one is by far the worst. At least with the others I managed to read books only paying with time and irritation of ads and surveys.

### 1/5 — False advertising

*2026-06-25, version 5.2.2*

So why do you say read all books for free when that is a lie

### 1/5 — Devient hyper chiant

*2026-06-21*

J’aimais bien cette application mais depuis peu je n’y vais même plus parce que ça devient  hyper chiant .Ils nous impose des publicités dès qu’on entre dans l’application, dès qu’on sort d’un livre ( pour vous dire que si vous êtes encore à la recherche de votre livre il faut avoir les nerfs solides parce que les publicités se déclenchent tout seul ). En plein lecture il t’impose des publicités sinon t’aura pas la prochaine page et alors que t’as payé ton chapitre. Je ne suis pas contre de regarder des publicités pour gagner des coupons mais nous imposer des publicités comme ça juste pour la navigation c’est abusé. Alors au début je l’aurais recommandé mais là non parce même moi qui aimais bien l’appli ça m’a saoulé.

**Developer response:** Nous vous prions de nous excuser pour la gêne occasionnée. Nous améliorerons cette partie à l'avenir afin d'offrir une meilleure expérience à nos lecteurs. Nous vous remercions sincèrement de votre compréhension et de votre soutien.

### 1/5 — App issues

*2026-06-15, version 5.2.2*

App has changed.  When unlocking 1 chapter, the next chapter automatically unlocks.  No way to stop that.  Tried to submit feedback and that doesn’t work.

### 1/5 — Copyright infringement

*2026-05-04, version 5.1.5*

You post copyrighted material without the author’s approval. Removing a name from the cover doesn’t mean it’s not stolen. You posted The Bennett Family and Bennett series without my authorization and removed my name from the cover. I wouldn’t use this app since the authors don’t receive payment.

### 2/5 — Good Reads Frustrating Site

*2026-04-18, version 5.1.4*

The challenges - site gets stuck often. Always shutting off the phone and resetting just to read 1 chapter. Site has been stuck for 2 days just spinning. Does not

### 5/5 — Reading Books

*2026-03-22, version 5.1.3*

Great selection and a very easy app to use   I would like it if there were more opportunities to to get coins and vouchers   But the ads are easy to get thru
