My 5th grader was able to spell words that totally broke up the story trying to read it. ### 3/5 — Good app *2026-08-02, version 5.2.0* Great app with high-quality reading material, but the subscription cost is too expensive. I’d use it more if the price were lower. ### 4/5 — Married the prince while pregnant *2026-07-19, version 5.1.8* I have been enjoying this story and look forward to continuing reading it ### 3/5 — Good *2026-07-19, version 5.1.8* It’s good! The only complaint I have is that it takes so many coins to unlock a chapter and we have to watch three ads if you want to unlock it for free ### 4/5 — So far so good *2026-07-18, version 5.1.8* Love the story I am reading and watching ads to read free my 1st time here and 1st book will update review as I read ### 5/5 — A lot of fun *2026-07-10, version 5.1.8* Lots of different stories and options and it has been fun discovering all the different stories genres with this app ### 3/5 — New to this one *2026-07-08, version 5.1.8* Quick review. So far, I find the authors to have much better grasp on American grammar than a lot of authors. I’m still not happy about the fact that an average book could cost around $99. I don’t even spend that much on Kindle books. So that part is a little disturbing, however, this app does allow for watching ads which I do not mind. ### 5/5 — Love Stories *2026-07-07, version 5.1.8* I love reading the stories on this App. I get so hooked on reading a story I keep my phone with me all the time. ### 3/5 — Maybe *2026-07-02, version 5.1.8* I began reading a book that had (470 ?) chapters. I don’t mind the length of the book, but a chapter should be longer than a page and a half. The basic story is interesting, and there’s grammar and spelling are perfect, but there’s so much superfluous and repetitive dialog and description that it becomes boring. Everybody wants to kill everyone else. This book could use a decent proof reader. Character names change for a few chapters, suggesting that chapters weren’t written sequentially, and the final writing renamed characters. Just missed a few chapters. But the reader has to figure out Who is who so that the plot makes some sense. There are lots of family members in all of the families. A family tree design would help the readers a lot, especially those that put down a book for a day or two. And the repetition…every woman in the book makes a fist so tight that her fingernails draw blood. There’s more, but you get the idea. The geography…I know the author is from another country, but if I wrote a book that described a city park in Beijing that had giant redwoods, you’d think I hadn’t done my homework. Redwoods don’t grow on the east coast. They’re west coast trees. And the Appalachian mountains are pretty short. The highest peak is just over 6,600 ft. And then there’s poor Jeremiah. He never eats, he never sleeps, heck, he never even takes a shower. Is he a robot? I finally gave up after 390+ chapters. ### 5/5 — Jackpot husband *2026-06-27, version 5.1.8* Cute . Occasionally even funny with charming main characters ### 5/5 — Actually the best app *2026-06-26, version 5.1.8* This app is easy to use and allows you to actually read for free. It doesn’t make you watch more and more ads to read a chapter, and it’s not pushy about purchasing if you don’t want to. I also really love this story a lot. Muchas gracias. ### 4/5 — Good books *2026-06-25, version 5.1.8* I am enjoying reading the books on this app. The books are mesmerizing and addictive. ### 5/5 — Me gusta *2026-06-14, version 5.1.8* Me gustan las novelas que enseña aunque algunas son un poco cara y regala muy pocos cupones pero las historias son muy buenas 😊😊😊😊 me encanta 🌹 ### 5/5 — Muy buena app *2026-06-13, version 5.1.8* Me encanta y las novelas no se digan sigan así ### 5/5 — Bueno *2026-06-11, version 5.1.8* Es entretenido y tiene buenas historias ### 5/5 — His unwanted wife his only cure *2026-06-09, version 5.1.8* Enjoying the story so far. Just trying to figure out the coins and points ### 2/5 — Pricey *2026-06-07, version 5.1.8* The app has got interesting stories but, and this is a huge but, you are going to pay significantly more for a simple book at this app than you would pay for a hard cover novel at any bookstore, approximately 3 to 4x more. You read that right. Also, a normal book is estimated at 20-25 lines per page and 15 words per line. These books are 20-lines per page and 5-words per line. So that explains some of the 100s of chapters. And each chapter is only, on average, 15 pages. Page costs very greatly as well from 30-50 coins per page. To check it out I spent $19 for 1000 coins and it let me read 6 chapters for free then 29 chapters before I ran out of coins. The book has 263 chapters so I would have to spend $148 in $19 increments or $99 approximately if I bought the bigger bundle and paid for all chapters at one time. Do not let the book auto charge each chapter, pay per chapter so you can track for yourself. It’s definitely not worth the money. ### 4/5 — Great app *2026-06-04, version 5.1.5* I love the stories. I just wish there were more ways to earn coin’s. Love it and can’t wait to keep reading!!! ### 5/5 — The cold CEO unwanted genius wife *2026-06-01, version 5.1.5* Excellent read ### 4/5 — It’s ok *2026-05-27, version 5.1.5* I like the books there is a lot of good chapter and writers on here. I wish points counted as coins instead to make it easier to buy chapters. Much like the other similar apps . ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Got charge for $14.99 even when I cancel the subscription early *2026-03-21, version 5.0.9* The stories are fine because I only did the $2.99 but I canceled my subscription before it got renew but I still get charge of $14.99. How can I cancel it if it doesn’t show up in any emails I use I use to sign up in. I try to use the contact us on the app but it says I need to do it online and did but there’s no cancel subscription. I’m a poor student ### 1/5 — Replacement Brife *2026-01-29, version 5.0.9* I have read several books on this app and have enjoyed each one! ### 1/5 — Rediculous *2026-01-28, version 5.0.9* I like to be able to read stories but 12.99 a week? No thank you. Thats just stupid. Kindle is 12.99 a MONTH and has better reading material ### 1/5 — Too expensive *2026-01-07* The books are decent, however the prices are absurd. Way too expensive. I know all the developers of these apps always defend themselves by saying they have to pay their writers. I understand that, but let’s face it, these books are not professionally written, and most are not professionally edited. They’re not worth the over $100 per book they end up being. It’s just not worth it. Even best sellers by professional authors don’t cost anywhere near that much, so please developers save the nonsense about having to pay your authors. They don’t need that much. Making their chapters so short that they have over 100 chapters for you to read and spend hard earned money on is absurd. I deleted it. **Developer response:** Estimado usuario, gracias por sus comentarios. Realizaremos mejoras en los temas que le interesan.

It is ridiculous how many coins you need just to read the next chapter. This app isn’t worth the time. There are better apps that give you better rewards. ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2025-12-01, version 5.0.6* If you enjoy reading 2 pages and then watching 2 to 3 minutes of ads, then this app is for you…or you can spend a lot of money on “coins” to read ### 1/5 — Can’t Cancel!!! *2025-11-24* Stories are too long and silly. Support issues are all written in Spanish. Although I did understand the cancellation question, when I clicked on the link I got an “Page Not Found” error. And the “Contact” button at the bottom of the page doesn’t work. Please cancel my subscription immediately. And fix your page!!!! **Developer response:** Estimado usuario, gracias por sus comentarios. Realizaremos mejoras en los temas que le interesan.

Es una pena las novelas son muy buenas. Pero si estoy pagando esa cantidad es para poderlas ver completas. ### 1/5 — Estafadores *2025-09-25, version 3.9.8* Son unos estafadores después de aver comprado monedas para leer mis historias todos los capítulos se volvieron a bloquear y si quiero volver a leerlos tengo que volver a pagar es una burla más de 20 historias por las cuales perdí dinero 😡😡 ### 1/5 — Awesome *2025-09-21, version 3.9.8* Incredible app ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — ممتعه *2026-08-12, version 5.2.0* قصه راىعه و سلسه ### 5/5 — Enjoying the content *2026-08-08, version 5.2.0* Free ad access is glitchy ### 5/5 — My Favorite App *2026-08-05, version 5.2.0* This is becoming my favorite app. So many of my stories are on this app and it allows plenty of reading time. I choose to watch the ads rather than pay to read my favorites so I complete all the ads available and then it gives me a lot of reading time and chapters. I will continue using this app for as many of my novels as possible. ### 5/5 — Abandoned ex-wife, now untouchable *2026-08-01, version 5.2.0* Love the subject content. Well written. Would like to see the reduction of coins needed when you come to last 20 chapters ### 5/5 — The App *2026-07-29, version 5.2.0* So far I’m very pleased with this app, it give you ads to watch so you can unlock blocked chapters. The story is also very captivating. ### 5/5 — Great stories *2026-07-21, version 5.1.8* I’m really enjoying this app! There are tons of great stories with lots of different themes and great storylines. ### 5/5 — Nice story *2026-07-14, version 5.1.8* Love the stories so far. No endless dragging. I hope it stays this way and affordable. ### 5/5 — So far I like it… *2026-07-13, version 5.1.8* I am really enjoying the stories available on this app so far! ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-07-13, version 5.1.8* Great app! Love the stories and ease of reading each day! ### 5/5 — La esposa no deseada *2026-07-11, version 5.1.8* Creo que me encanto me encanta como la escritora hace que nos podamos imaginar cada parte de la historia me fascina --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
