Banners get in way!

I downloaded this yesterday and I love it so far. My only issue is that the header and base banners get in the way of reading the text or moving to next page. There’s no way to scroll up or down. Very annoying and now I’m stuck because I can’t read the beginning of the text.

Good quality but money hungry

All the stories are locked and you need to pay for them. They only give you ONE story which is a shame because this app has a lot of potential.

Disappointed

I was considering subscribing to this app because the AI conversations were amazing. Unless I’m missing something, the new update appears to have removed them entirely. I know it’s a costly feature, but without it there’s nothing particularly special about this app 😔
