You can watch ads to get coins, but it takes much longer and is a bit of a faff! ### 4/5 — Surprisingly good! *2026-09-08, version 1.3.2* Wow, usually these stories are riddled with inconsistencies and lame plot twists. But this story is actually pretty well written! I’m actually interested in paying for more chapters. ### 4/5 — So far so good *2026-09-08, version 1.3.2* The book I’m reading “Left to Drown: The Billionaire Unforgiven Wife” is interesting ### 2/5 — Good stories *2026-09-07, version 1.3.2* Nickel and dime you to death to read ### 2/5 — Chapters are too expensive. *2026-09-07, version 1.3.2* Other apps allow you to open 30 chapters/day by watching an ad after each chapter. This forces you to watch multiple. If the book isn’t much better l will remove. ### 3/5 — Charges *2026-09-07, version 1.3.2* They say free but that’s not true. Takes coins ### 3/5 — Rate *2026-09-07, version 1.3.2* Okay ### 2/5 — The moon goddess's bleeding star *2026-09-07, version 1.3.2* Interesting but the cost is obscene. Hard cover novels from book store by famous authors don't cost half as much. The cost system needs to be revamped. ### 4/5 — Good stories *2026-09-07, version 1.3.2* I think they have good stories but there should be better opportunities to read for free. Not everyone has the money to spend weekly. ### 3/5 — New to this *2026-09-07, version 1.3.2* I wonder how much money I will pay for one book? I wish there was more transparency in the app. I love the book, but I will not pay a king’s ransom to read it. ### 5/5 — Fab *2026-09-07, version 1.3.2* Only issue is you pay a lot for each chapter ### 5/5 — Sweets for the Ruthless Alpha *2026-09-07, version 1.3.2* So far so good! I like the book and where it's leading ### 3/5 — Good stories *2026-09-07, version 1.3.2* Too much $$$ ### 2/5 — Always want more *2026-09-07, version 1.3.2* I’m sick of all of the apps saying free chapters and then oh never mind you need to pay. ### 4/5 — Sweets for the ruthless alpha *2026-09-07, version 1.3.2* Ok so far , not too far into it yet ### 5/5 — Worth a look *2026-09-07, version 1.3.2* Great stories that you can earn coins to read. I’m hooked. This is an awesome App ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — So many paywalls *2026-09-08, version 1.3.2* It’s a scam ### 1/5 — Very expensive *2026-09-07, version 1.3.2* And few opportunities to watch ads for coins ### 1/5 — You pay right away *2026-09-07, version 1.3.2* Books are good but you have to pay money right away to continue reading. You open the book you started in the ad, go to where it ended, and you are required to pay. If given a chapter or two I may have continued with the book. Instead I will look it up and see if it is available on Amazon. I will pay a lot less money. ### 1/5 — False advertisement *2026-09-07, version 1.3.2* Add said free to read. It is not it is pay to read. Have to watch tons of adds to get next chapter. Way expensive to get coins. ### 1/5 — Too expensive *2026-09-06, version 1.3.2* There are no unlimited reading for a week. Each chapter cost money ### 1/5 — Great Reads *2026-09-06, version 1.3.2* Not a fan of the top-up rates. They can retain more members with lower prices. ### 1/5 — Lies *2026-09-05, version 1.3.2* In its add it says free to read but actually like most it’s only a few chapters to try to hook you. ### 1/5 — Free chapters? Where? *2026-09-02, version 1.3.2* I got interested in a story after reading it as an ad on another game. It said free chapters. I assumed you could watch ads to unlock further rising but I’ve not been offered this. Only been asked to buy coins to unlock chapters. The cost is exorbitant and I would. It pay this. I’d watch adds to unlock but won’t pay. A pity as it seemed a good story ### 1/5 — Wanted to love it *2026-08-28, version 1.3.0* The English language skills are a bit weak, but that’s common. Unfortunately, when I downloaded the app because I was enjoying the story, the names of all the characters are different! What? That shows a complete lack of regard for details and goes right along with low caliber of English skills. I’ll give it a try, but I’m very much “unimpressed” ### 1/5 — Too many ads *2026-08-28, version 1.3.0* This app requires too many ads and begs for money too much. One star. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Different from the other reads *2026-09-08, version 1.3.2* It's a gripping story and a novel I don't want to put down before I finish reading it! ### 5/5 — Great App *2026-09-08, version 1.3.2* The books keep me so interested. I can’t wait to read the next chapters. ### 5/5 — Entertaining *2026-09-08, version 1.3.2* Great ### 5/5 — Great *2026-09-08, version 1.3.2* I like it so far ### 5/5 — Full of surprises *2026-09-08, version 1.3.2* The app is easy to use and offers so much choice I am enjoying it so far ### 5/5 — Okay *2026-09-08, version 1.3.2* It’s very interesting and looks like going to be an okay reading app ### 5/5 — Review *2026-09-08, version 1.3.2* On my first book, it’s good, don’t know how many ads I’ll need to watch tho to unlock chapters ### 5/5 — Absolutely wonderful stories *2026-09-07, version 1.3.2* I love the stories and the actions. Barely can put the book down. ### 5/5 — Great stories *2026-09-07, version 1.3.2* Really like reading the stories, but can cost you a lot to finish once you start. ### 5/5 — The Billionaires Midnight Mistake *2026-09-07, version 1.3.2* Spell binding --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
