It’s really a one of a kind and fantastic reading app. Good authors with great and talented writing! Please don’t leave and reconsider!!!🥺 ### 3/5 — Earning coins *2025-07-14, version 4.13.7* I'm really disappointed that you decided to take away the 30-minute wait time on select weekly reads as well as the different games/reading incentives to earn extra coins. I looked forward to them each week. Besides that, this is a great reading app that I recommend to others. ### 4/5 — Lots of options, wait for free *2025-06-22, version 4.13.7* Pros: Each chapter costs 3 coins to unlock. Some are wait for free. Cons it's hard to earn coins and chapters don't Auto Unlock. You always have to go in and manually unlock each chapter. Plus coins expire quickly anywhere from 12 hours to 3 days so you can't ever stockpile them. Most stories I've read have a 1-3 hour wait but some are a 24 hour wait and I've dropped almost all of these books. Expect to average 7 coins a day. Lucky draw almost always gives you the minimum amount, the most I've ever gotten was 5. There are also challenges where you can read chapters and earn coins. ### 3/5 — Coins shouldn’t expire if I pay for them *2024-12-08, version 4.13.7* I have had Radish and then switched to Radish Plus for over a year. I love this App but have to say that I will probably not renew as I don’t believe that coins that I pay for should expire each month. I don’t understand the benefit other than to anger people and make them leave. ### 5/5 — Multiple *2024-09-09, version 4.13.7* Because I speak 4 languages I can read book in 24 hours this one mush cheaper because I get fed up with audio ones because I get fed ear phones ### 3/5 — Need More Chapters *2024-09-08, version 4.13.7* Enjoying the story I’m reading, but would appreciate More Chapters for less coins. Thank You ### 5/5 — Love this app *2024-09-08, version 4.13.7* I’m so addicted it makes me want to read all day I’ve completed so Manet book and I don’t even pay I just wach vidios and pic a card for extra chapters I’ve have over 15 books open in my library it’s the bes by fare and u never run out of book Awsome thank you I do have a small issue in pic a card and idk if any one else has had this happen but I’ve picked the 500 twice know but it gave me a different number can u please look into that for me and anyone else it’s done that too thaks ### 5/5 — Five stars *2024-09-05, version 4.13.7* I absolutely love Radish! I read and listen to at least 10 at a time and it’s hard to limit myself because everyone I’ve read is better then the last. Top notch authors and amazing stories. Dont know what I’d do without my Radish ### 5/5 — My Opinion *2024-08-24, version 4.13.7* I love this app. I have been reading here for 3 years and it’s my absolute favorite. Some of my books I read here first then ended up buying a paper copy. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Meh *2025-09-15, version 4.13.9* Don’t waste your time they advertise a book being free If you download the app and once the app is downloaded it doesn’t and the book isn’t free ### 1/5 — Close down now or December *2025-09-02, version 4.13.9* If you no longer have access to win or buy coins you can no longer read any stories. How do we finish our current series? Confused and very disappointed ### 1/5 — Cut down *2025-09-01, version 4.13.9* I can not believe there was no warning to this cut down. I had stories still being written where are they going to move to? ### 1/5 — NOT HAPPY AT ALL *2025-07-30, version 4.13.7* I just read the app is closing down. Went to get name of books I loved and authors to see if I couldn’t purchase them somewhere else so that I could keeping rereading them. All my books but like a handful are gone!!!! They disappeared!!!! They need to fix that back the way it was before they just close everything off!!! ### 1/5 — Scam! *2025-07-11, version 4.13.7* Your Lucky Draw is a scam! I have had this app for years & I get 1 90% of the time! And the hand full of times I’ve gotten more than 1 I’ve never gotten more than a 7! Absolutely impossible! I love the authors & there books but this app is dishonest! ### 1/5 — The watch video to reduce wait time wasn’t available tonight. *2025-04-07, version 4.13.7* The videos to reduce wait time wallll New review 3/6/25 Had 3 coupons for. Perfect Storm and I read it but the system used my Coins. Instead of the coupons Lorrie47 ### 1/5 — Incomplete stories *2025-03-11, version 4.13.7* Not worth downloading this app as twice now I have been reading a story and never got to finish it. When approached Radish they haven’t helped. The first story Billionaire surrogate the author decide to take her books off radish. Radish told me to contact the author on socials. I did and still haven’t heard back. The next story Dating my alpha brothers has been waiting for the next chapter to go live for about 2 months!! So what’s the point. Won’t be reading another book on this app ### 1/5 — No coins received and no app support *2024-12-07, version 4.13.7* NO STARS! NO STARS! NO STARS! NO STARS! NO STARS! Most Apps read the reviews from their users and writes a reply but obviously this one doesn’t! The last paragraph below shows my very first review some time ago. The app has got no better. So I stopped reading. I’ve come back because I really want to finish what I started. I’m reading a book series of 6 books, they were so long that I actually skipped part of the first book and most of the second and third because I wanted the story to move on faster and find out what was going to happen. Technically I did finish but now I want to read what I skipped. Yes the app works out how many coins you need and offers a deal but now the store doesn’t load and now I can’t even decide whether or not to purchase because I can’t see how much it would cost. It’s not fair! And as I said before below, the daily 6 card shuffle hasn’t improved. Still getting 1 coin or a chapter for a book I’m not reading. Honestly get it together! Personally if I have to wait a whole year to unlock I will because I really want to finish! I had to give 1 star in order to write this review. For over a week now I have been doing the daily challenges to receive free coins and the message comes up saying I have been awarded the coins but they never appear yet on the usage history it says they have been awarded but I doubt get them. App support is non existent the stories used to be good but now like the one I’m currently reading it’s so long. It’s never ending. The first book had 37 chapters but the next one we are almost if not already at 140 chapters with no end in sight. The chapters themselves some are so short it’s not worth paying 3 coins for them. And as for the daily 6 card shuffle thing that’s terrible. I always get 1 coin or a free chapter to a book I’m not even reading. You need to sort this out! It’s so infuriating. I’m close to giving ### 1/5 — shhhh *2024-12-02, version 4.13.7* ssa ### 1/5 — FIX THE Constantly CRASHING!!!! *2024-06-23, version 4.13.6* You get 1 star but I don’t believe you even deserve that! It’s been days of constant crashing of this stupid app. I’d absolutely delete it if I didn’t pay for a subscription which I intend to STOP IMMEDIATELY given the problem with trying to use the app. Troubleshooting tips don’t help to fix the issue and it’s beyond frustrating and annoying to deal with. If y’all can’t fix the problem then start to lose paying readers to apps that do appreciate our real money and time. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — From an Author *2025-12-16, version 4.13.9* Thank you for working with us authors and offering a fair arrangement compared to other companies. ### 5/5 — So sad *2025-09-24, version 4.13.9* I am heartbroken to see you go. This is the best romantic app I have ever used. And I only have 1 story to finish and I don’t have enough coins. 🥺🥺🥺 ### 5/5 — Heartbroken *2025-09-20* I still can’t believe that radish will cease to exist at the end of this year, 2025. I wish I had discovered you long ago. The stories that you offer are excellent. They are great fiction and I enjoy them so much. I don’t know why you’ve decided to close the app and the business. I don’t know if any other app similar to yours comes anywhere near close in the quality. I’m hoping that someone else will buy your business and continue with the same type of quality and attention to detail. All in all I want to say thank you I’ve enjoyed reading stories. They’ve touched every emotion just about possible. And if you are going out of business, is it possible that you can unlock the stories so that those of us who’ve read through them and want to finish them can indeed finish them. ### 5/5 — Daily Bonuses *2025-09-02, version 4.13.9* It’s not letting me get my bonuses for today ### 5/5 — Love *2025-08-19, version 4.13.7* I hate to hear this app is leaving in December. I don’t think I can find another app like it. I wish you would stay. Reading is my get away. I don’t know what I would do without it. ### 5/5 — Don’t leave *2025-07-06, version 4.13.7* Please don’t leave. I love this app😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 ### 5/5 — Why??😭😭😭😭 *2025-07-04, version 4.13.7* Why radish ?!?! I get yall have yall flaws but yall were still good:; IS still good!!! I don’t understand the need or logic to terminate the app??? ### 5/5 — Fantastic *2024-11-18, version 4.13.7* Fantastic stories ### 5/5 — Cool *2024-10-15, version 4.13.7* Cool ### 5/5 — I really like it but….. *2024-09-27, version 4.13.7* (Doing five stars because it seems to get more attention tho it would be five stars with just a few additions said in the review since the app would be near perfect.)Edit:Please please please Atleast add the notice about books leaving the app like a list leaving each month or something, like authors have to give notice before taking the books off. Also make currency we’ve won and especially paid for permanent until we spend it. Honestly that’s the only reason I cancelled my subscription. I can’t always use the app to read because it doesn’t have what I’m in the mood for. I can go months without being on it. However it’s the same for other apps I have but they let me keep the points I get for my subscriptions so even tho I’m not on the app I keep my subscription and let the points accumulate so when I am in the mood for the stuff on the app I have plenty of points to use to read. Or when my Wi-Fi or something goes out and I only have my phone I can just pick something and read since I have the saved up coins I can choose whatever I’m in the mood for. There’s probably others like me so this app is missing out on money because of the awful idea of having the coins expire.Please please please add these useful things to the app! (End edit) -Needs to make coins we earn/PAY FOR permanent. -Needs to let us favorite authors so we can keep up with new books. -Needs to let us know when a book is getting taken off the app. -Needs to let us know if our comments on a book were responded to. -Needs to let us search for more than one thing at a time like romance+completed etc. -Needs better subscription terms like taking away the wait time for books.(would be nice too if no waited books got reduce price for chapters) -Needs to let us unlock a chapter, even if waited, without entering the chapter. ………….. I really like this app, it’s one of my favorites. However the coins expiring is ridiculous!!!!!! I spent my own money for a subscription and because I didn’t use the 100! Coins in time it gets taken?! Something I spent my own money on?!!! That makes zero sense! Speaking of subscriptions, I like that we can get audio books for free but I can’t listen to audio books often plus I like reading better. If with one subscription we get free audiobooks why can’t the other subscription cancel the wait time for books that have it so all we have to do is buy the chapters that aren’t waited. We get waited chapters for free anyway and not all books are waited. That would be cool to be able to also reduce the price of non waited books with a subscription as well. I wouldn’t mind spending a little extra for 200coins, reduce prices and no wait time. I would also like a feature where we can favorite an author, there are so many books to keep up with its easy to lose track so being able to have a favorite author list would greatly help! It would also greatly help if we get told when a book will get taken off because a book I had waited for and wanted to read but couldn’t at the time only had a notice in the summary so I didn’t know till it was too late. I havnt noticed an inbox or anything even though we have a comment option. It would be nice to see if we ever get replies to our comments. This app has one of if not THE BEST search options I have ever seen! I love it!!!! It’s only unfortunate you cannot search for more than one of the category options and you can’t separate completed from not completed or regular books from audio so then you have to scroll through a bunch of stuff you don’t care about. Another thing I don’t care for is having to enter a chapter to unlock it. It gets so confusing which chapter I’m on when I unlock chapters one by one when I can’t mass unlock or when I’ve waited for an unlock. I only read completed books and one main character series and I only read a book when I’ve unlocked most if not all chapters so when I do go to read it it says I’ve read them all when I havnt and if the app messes up and brings me to the wrong chapter I get either a spoiler or I have to try to go through multiple chapters to find where I was at. I really like this app I hope these things can be added to make the experience more fair and enjoyable. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
