We would improve this part in the future and bring our readers better experience. Really appreciated your understanding and support. ### 2/5 — Not user friendly at all! *2026-06-04* The ongoing stories are fairly good, though they seem to be AI generated and include serious errors, such as placing Kyoto (Japan) in China. Character names get changed on a regular basis. But my big gripe is that it kicks me out of the stories I’m reading with no way to either go back or access the library. Some stories seem to be frozen mid-story, with no ending in sight. A very brief tutorial or FYI file to say how to get this to work properly would go a long way to fix the ‘can’t go back or access library’ problems. But even that won’t help the formula plots. **Developer response:** Sorry for the inconvenience. We would improve this part in the future and bring our readers better experience. Really appreciated your understanding and support. ### 2/5 — Too many ads you can’t enjoy a story *2026-05-20* This app looked ok and it’s free which attracts a solid customer base, however there is nothing more disappointing when “Ad 1 of 3” turns up on the screen - you watch more ads than reading time as sometimes they are over 2 mins long, repeating the same ad over and over before you can get back to the story. The constant stopping of a story with “to be continued “ is frustrating for readers leading to you leaving the book altogether rather than “being hooked and can’t wait for more” - there are so many free novel apps with ads - however the ads in this app are excessive **Developer response:** Sorry for the inconvenience. We would improve this part in the future and bring our readers better experience. Really appreciated your understanding and support. ### 1/5 — NOT FREE *2026-04-06* How can you say this is free when it totally is not. Free doesn’t mean after you get interested that you have to buy coins to continue reading. I have tried several apps that says free reading but they are not. Either you watch 10 video adds or you pay for the coins. HOW IS THIS FREE??? **Developer response:** Sorry for the inconvenience. We would improve this part in the future and bring our readers better experience. Really appreciated your understanding and support. ### 1/5 — You get what you pay for *2026-03-26* What did I expect for free reading? Well, I expected a passing acquaintance with grammar, getting the character names correct, and some kind of continuity. I assume there are no editors available? **Developer response:** Dear readers: We are very sorry for the bad experience you have. If you have any questions, you can contact the customer service staff in My Online Customer Service and describe the problem to the customer service. We will deal with it as soon as possible after receiving the problem. Thank you for your feedback. ### 1/5 — My husband’s affair my anniversary gift *2026-01-28* The book started out great but I stopped reading it because the wife always gave in with the husband, he didn’t want her with anyone else but he repeatedly shows off his mistress. That keeps being repeated over and over. That is all the book is about the husband mentally abusing the wife and won’t stop. I went through all kinds of abuse and the author gets off on repeatedly writing about it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Blatant plagiarism *2026-08-10* I have to say, that I read and really enjoyed a story “He married her first, I married her last”, but cleverly buried in the story is a sentence that states “If you’re reading this other than Dream or Starry Novel ,the book has been stolen from Kat Von Beck . The true name of the novel is ‘too late for regret’” I don’t like theft of creative work. And you can kind of tell where I think they just tried to substitute character names. There are a few things that don’t add up. But, now I’m going to try to find it on Starry Novel and see what changed. **Developer response:** Sorry for the inconvenience. We would improve this part in the future and bring our readers better experience. Really appreciated your understanding and support. ### 1/5 — Unblocking failure *2026-07-26* The auto scroll is always blcoking us to Read more eventhough we paíd And I am not able to submit a comment **Developer response:** Sorry for the inconvenience. We would improve this part in the future and bring our readers better experience. Really appreciated your understanding and support. ### 1/5 — Ads even if you pay *2026-07-20* I bought coins so I could read several chapters and keep getting stopped by ads. There are too many ads and I keep having to exit & come back in to even go forward in the excessively short “chapters.” Because it’s so aggravating and greedy I decided that once I use the rest of my coins, I won’t even care if I finish the story, I will remove the app and not come back. **Developer response:** Dear readers: We are very sorry for the bad experience you have. If you have any questions, you can contact the customer service staff in My Online Customer Service and describe the problem to the customer service. We will deal with it as soon as possible after receiving the problem. Thank you for your feedback. ### 1/5 — Hong Kong book app *2026-06-27* This along with all the other ones that say, HK technology. These are horrible apps. They cost way too much money. They are unoriginal. They cannot write the English language. They have poor grammar, and they are making way too much money off of these poorly written books. At this point people, we should just go back to paperback books. Some apps were fine at first, but now it’s gotten ridiculous. Avoid foreign apps at all cost. **Developer response:** Dear Reader, thank you very much for the suggestions! We will continue to improve the translation and thank you for your support. ### 1/5 — The Contract Luna *2026-06-27* I was enjoying the story even though it had many misspelled words and fragmented sentences. The story was good. However, I got right about the middle part of the story and BOOM the book is no where to be found. I’m fed up with these apps that get you hooked on a story and the it’s gone or they want a kings ransom to read it. I’m deleting this app and all the others like it. I will stick with AUDIBLE. At least I will be able to finish the story! **Developer response:** Dear readers: We are very sorry for the bad experience you have. If you have any questions, you can contact the customer service staff in My Online Customer Service and describe the problem to the customer service. We will deal with it as soon as possible after receiving the problem. Thank you for your feedback. ### 1/5 — Terrible app. Too many very long ads too often. *2026-06-21* Can’t get past two or three pages before being interrupted by ads, many of which are about 120 seconds long. Deleting app. **Developer response:** Sorry for the inconvenience. We would improve this part in the future and bring our readers better experience. Really appreciated your understanding and support. ### 1/5 — Worst one ever *2026-05-20* After the download the number I had wasn’t the right book from the add, then before you even do anything adds again and again. Then you can’t even get out of a book without closing the app no menu . Omg what a waste **Developer response:** Dear readers: We are very sorry for the bad experience you have. If you have any questions, you can contact the customer service staff in My Online Customer Service and describe the problem to the customer service. We will deal with it as soon as possible after receiving the problem. Thank you for your feedback. ### 1/5 — Very upset *2026-05-14* I would have given this five stars a week ago, however I was on chapter 86 and now my book is “not found” and I can’t finish reading it. It was so good I couldn’t put it down. Just as it was climaxing now I can’t finish. WTF. I am so upset. Boo on you for either screwing people or not checking that all is good in your app. **Developer response:** Dear readers: We are very sorry for the bad experience you have. If you have any questions, you can contact the customer service staff in My Online Customer Service and describe the problem to the customer service. We will deal with it as soon as possible after receiving the problem. Thank you for your feedback. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-04-25* Buy coin so you don’t get ads they said. SCAM. Pay for coins and inundated with ads. Try to contact support, but it’s set up so it’s impossible to sent any kind of feedback. Save your money. Better yet, delete the app. It’s not worth the time. **Developer response:** Dear readers: We are very sorry for the bad experience you have. If you have any questions, you can contact the customer service staff in My Online Customer Service and describe the problem to the customer service. We will deal with it as soon as possible after receiving the problem. Thank you for your feedback. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2026-04-20* The story I was reading was great through around chapter 200 and then it just started that chapter on repeat. Gone through chapter 280 and it still hasn’t updated to a new chapter to read. So disappointing. Glad I’ve gone through watching ads for the story because otherwise paying for it would have been highway robbery. **Developer response:** Dear readers: We are very sorry for the bad experience you have. If you have any questions, you can contact the customer service staff in My Online Customer Service and describe the problem to the customer service.

Thank you for your feedback. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Reading *2026-05-25* This app is one of the best apps out there for free reading. The ads are not anything compared to other reading apps, the amount of time on an ad is nothing and if you want to read longer, you can watch a minute and a half ad in read for 15 minutes I would highly recommend getting this app if you’d like to read and not have to pay an enormous amount for an app. **Developer response:** Thank you for your support and patience all the time. Have a good day! ### 5/5 — I don’t know man *2026-01-22* Honestly it’s a really great app for reading but the books don’t make sense at times and aren’t very interesting. **Developer response:** Thank you for your support and patience all the time. Have a good day! ### 3/5 — I can create better stories with AI *2026-08-21* The stories all read like someone created them with a simple prompt in chatGPT. Fun to read for a few chapters, but they begin to sound the same. **Developer response:** Sorry for the inconvenience. We would improve this part in the future and bring our readers better experience. Really appreciated your understanding and support. ### 3/5 — Banned??? *2026-07-15* I like this app but somehow I’m banned. Why did I get banned? **Developer response:** Hello, if you met any problem, you can go to the Mine page - Help Center, submit your feedback, Our professional customer service staff will handle your problems, thank you for your support and understanding. ### 3/5 — Started out good now frustrated *2026-06-25* I was pleasantly surprised with the ease of the app. The ads weren’t bad and I didn’t mind them. Now, every few seconds the ads keep popping up. I can’t even read a full sentence without one popping up! **Developer response:** Sorry for the inconvenience. We would improve this part in the future and bring our readers better experience. Really appreciated your understanding and support. ### 3/5 — Ads *2026-05-07* I’m viewing more ads than I’m actually reading. Like seriously, every 1 or 2 pages there’s a ad and it’s not to say it’s 30s long, noooo, it’s a whole min long or probably more. I get you need to advertise the ads, but people are coming here to read not to constantly be seeing ads more than they can actually read. **Developer response:** Sorry for the inconvenience. We would improve this part in the future and bring our readers better experience. Really appreciated your understanding and support. ### 3/5 — Disappointed *2026-04-23* The basic stories are good, but need substantial editing for inconsistencies. Also, only completed novels should be included. Having the reader spend days on an incomplete work is annoying, at best. **Developer response:** Dear readers: We are very sorry for the bad experience you have. If you have any questions, you can contact the customer service staff in My Online Customer Service and describe the problem to the customer service. We will deal with it as soon as possible after receiving the problem. Thank you for your feedback. ### 2/5 — Inconsistent story quality *2026-07-22* I was very excited about this app when I started reading my first novel. I don’t know if all of these are written by AI, or by authors, or by a combination above. The writing at the beginning of the story it was really good. I was surprised. Then everything changed. It was as though somebody flipped a switch, and the quality of the writing crashed and burned. Dialogue became stilted and amateurish, and the plot completely shifted and didn’t make any sense. I can put up with frequent ads. And I don’t mind watching a video to get 15 minutes of ad free reading. But unfortunately, I had to delete this app because it just was not worth reading it all. **Developer response:** Sorry for the inconvenience. We would improve this part in the future and bring our readers better experience. Really appreciated your understanding and support. ### 2/5 — Although interesting storyline…. *2026-07-02* Completely fails to follow any kind of logical standards as far as protocol hospitals, police for poisoning, causing death. Getting deleted. **Developer response:** Sorry for the inconvenience. We would improve this part in the future and bring our readers better experience. Really appreciated your understanding and support. ### 2/5 — Glitching *2026-06-27* It is a great app not to many ads but I can use any of the coins I’ve earned or purchased for ad free time. And after the most recent update I can’t listen to music while reading. Please fix!!! **Developer response:** Dear readers: We are very sorry for the bad experience you have. If you have any questions, you can contact the customer service staff in My Online Customer Service and describe the problem to the customer service. We will deal with it as soon as possible after receiving the problem. Thank you for your feedback. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
