The first time it stopped working it would not open and would take me back to my Home Screen on my phone. I deleted the app and stopped using the app. When I later downloaded again after a few months it is doing the same thing. The app will not open and I am sure I still have coins on the app. ### 3/5 — It’s ok. *2025-04-04, version 2.6.2* I like the different stories and how it is set although it can be very expensive. However, it’s annoying that it constantly logs you out and then says somethings happened you have to log back in and then it takes long. ### 2/5 — Waste of time *2025-03-13, version 2.6.2* I downloaded PopFic because it was the only app that I could find the story I was trying to read (Infidelity his regret my revenge), with the option of earning coins/credits. I can’t afford to buy the story so I deliberately look for apps that give you that option. By day 6, I could no longer claim my coins which made the app completely useless for me. The story doesn’t seem to be exclusive, but I haven’t been able to find it anywhere yet. Anyway, don’t use this app unless you plan to pay. ### 2/5 — Bait and Switch *2024-12-08, version 2.6.2* A bit of a bait and switch operation. They offer you bonus points but fail to make it obvious that the points only work for the first twenty chapters. Just enough chapters to get the reader to become committed to the story. After twenty chapters the only way the reader can complete the story is to buy coins. The coins are expensive. So, unless you have unlimited funds go to other apps that treat their readership with respect. This app treats their readers with contempt. ### 2/5 — Good Stories, Too Expensive *2024-11-30, version 2.6.2* I admit that I like the app and the stories on here but I ABSOLUTELY HATE having to constantly spend money just to finish a book and on top of that it costs way too much to unlock a new chapter and then once you’ve bought more coins, they’re basically gone within a short amount of time! 100-200 coins just to unlock a chapter after purchasing coins just to read a story is ridiculous. Luckily I can find some of these stories on some other apps and spend less money and use less coins! Like I said I like the app but constantly spending money and wasting coins is utterly ridiculous ### 2/5 — Costs too much *2024-11-15, version 2.6.2* Very frustrating that most are multi books. I have spent way too much money to continue one book just to find that it doesn’t finish in book 1, and I have no idea if book 2 continues their story. I want to know what happens to characters from book 1 before I read about other characters. And it shouldn’t cost as much as it does! Most paperbacks only cost $9 if that. Hard covers are $25 and at least I get to finish the story of mc’s in it! ### 2/5 — Expensive *2024-09-17, version 2.6.2* You buy 500 coins for $4.99 and each chapter is .99cents. The chapters are maybe 2 to 3 paragraphs . This is way to expensive. ### 1/5 — SO expensive *2024-07-04, version 2.6.2* I spent $19.99 on coins and it bought not even 1/2 a book. I was able to purchase 11 chapter with 2400 coins. Save the money and just google the words. You can find the book for purchase on Amazon for cheap. Some are included in Kindle. Don’t use this app. ### 1/5 — App is awful *2024-06-21, version 2.6.2* I’d actually prefer to leave no stars, but it won’t let me. Coin prices for chapters are too high. You can’t leave the book using the arrow at the top of the screen. When you tap that arrow, it goes all the way back to the beginning of the book 😫😖 Great stories though! ### 1/5 — This site steals their stories *2024-06-10, version 2.6.2* Alaric and Faina was stolen from the Wattpad author GroveltoHEA. Buyers beware. Save your hard-earned money. This site steals the intellectual property of authors. I’m betting most of their stories are stolen. Reward the authors that actually write the stories. Don’t give this site your money. Maggie and Ryder was also stolen from the Wattpad author GroveltoHEA. Shameful. ### 3/5 — Short/expensive books *2024-06-10, version 2.6.2* Very good books but some chapters are super short & expensive to unlock. I’d love to finish my book but I won’t be using the app any longer. ### 1/5 — Constantly paying *2024-06-01, version 2.6.2* You’ll be constantly paying to read. Pay each chapter. Kindle unlimited is so much better ### 1/5 — Scam! *2024-04-26, version 2.6.2* When you have coins they Jack up the price of each chapter, to the point each chapter was over a hundred coins, but when I run out of coins, they are suddenly 30-40 a chapter? ### 1/5 — About this app *2024-04-12, version 2.6.2* This app is horrible and you can’t even read a book without buying coins every time you get to a new chapter and they won’t let you win coins you have to buy them they say it’s free but that’s a lie you have to pay money for coins for every single chapter ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-04-03, version 2.6.2* It works out around $300 to read one book! Its an absolute take on ### 2/5 — Like the stories hate that you can’t use Apple Pay for coins *2024-03-14, version 2.6.2* I don’t use PayPal or want to add my card info directly should have Apple Pay as an option ### 1/5 — Expensive and book disappeared… *2024-02-29, version 2.6.2* 15 chapters in and the book suddenly disappears mid chapter! So frustrated. Not to mention how expensive this is. Absolutely deleting this app. ### 1/5 — Uses stolen stories. *2024-02-28, version 2.6.2* My novels were stolen and posted on this app. Flame of Temptation is available on Wattpad for free. ### 1/5 — Do not recommend this app *2024-01-09, version 2.6.2* The books are good but the coins to read are expensively price sometimes as much as 219 coins per chapter. That is redicilous! The are better apps like Goodnovel and Dreame that has better books and coins to read chapters are not so overpriced and they also give discounts. Don’t download this App! ### 1/5 — Poor pricing *2023-12-28, version 2.6.2* Very terrible pricing, paid $10 for coins and can’t even get halfway through a book. Amazon kindle unlimited is $11 per month with unlimited access to complete books. These books are def not worth the price. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Stealing authors work *2025-02-20, version 2.6.2* The app has so many authors stolen works on it, it’s disgusting. I’m emailing them every month to remove books that i know stolen. The crazy thing is most of the books are on KU even if bought them direct from Amazon it would be cheaper than paying this app. Please don’t use this app. ### 1/5 — Copy from the real Author *2025-01-13, version 2.6.2* I find a lot of the book on this site are copied books without authorisation from the real author.. very disappointing ### 1/5 — Unsatisfied *2024-12-23, version 2.6.2* I have used this app a lot and like a lot of the books… however I have bought coins and I always get them right away but I have paid for the subscription 3 different times and everytime I have trouble getting the inital ammount that comes with the subscription or the bonus coins you are supposed to get everyday for logging on. I’m very upset that I wasted my money yet again trying to read more of the chapters thinking that it would be fixed up each time to be screwed over. Really debating on deleting the app. I could have spent my money on another app that dosent have this problem but not all books are on every other app …. Just going to chalk it up as a loss and I hope no one else has the same problem ### 1/5 — Scam *2024-11-18, version 2.6.2* I bought coins and they weren’t there when I went to use them. ### 1/5 — You steal and upload works *2024-09-11, version 2.6.2* All the books on here are stolen. 99% of these books are free on Wattpad, Inkitt- or they’ve stolen them from kindle. They rip off people’s hard work, lie and say they’ll take it down, then they change the name or add it on to the back end of other stories. ALL WHILE CHARGING YOU 50-100$ to read someone else’s work. They steal them, the authors don’t see a penny. Do not support this app, and shame on apple and google play for allowing them a platform at all. ### 1/5 — Stolen Books *2024-09-08, version 2.6.2* This app steals writers’ work and uploads it to their site without permission. When you request for your content to be taken down, they drag their feet—I’m still waiting for my book to be removed. They profit from this stolen work by charging readers outrageous fees to access stories that were never theirs to begin with. Avoid downloading this app unless you want to be scammed or become complicit in their theft. ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2024-09-04, version 2.6.2* This app is definitely not worth the download. The books I browsed did even make sense. For example one was 6 books or 167 chapters total but book two-six were entirely unrelated and there was no ending or anything to book It was like a collection of incomplete stories. And chapters are on average at least 100 coins. Extremely disappointing app. ### 1/5 — Brodie *2024-08-02, version 2.6.2* How disgusting, you have stolen this work from a Long time published author…. I’ll be reporting this to them. ### 1/5 — Stolen Content *2024-07-19, version 2.6.2* This app steals content form creators on Wattpad and other free platforms to then charge you to then read said stolen content. This is a terrible business model. It hurts creators and infringes on their rights. ### 1/5 — Cliffhangers BEWARE *2024-07-15, version 2.6.2* They only post 50 chapters per book. Just leave you hanging! Tried four books, all the same. Don’t waste your time!!!!!!! Edit: this was their response to not warning that the books are incomplete: We are very sorry that the book is finished. We hope you can find other novels that suit your appetite in our app. Should you have more suggestions or questions, please don't hesitate to contact us.
