There are lots of opportunities to read for free, but the ads one has to watch are too long. Also, sometimes a chapter is extremely short which makes the time cost prohibitive. ### 5/5 — The Luna queen *2026-07-28, version 3.4.1* Love reading werewolf books this one as me on the edge of my seat ### 5/5 — Good reads *2026-07-28, version 3.4.1* Really enjoying that every story doesn’t have the same story line. ### 5/5 — Great *2026-07-28, version 3.4.1* Very good app to read ### 5/5 — Fun *2026-07-25, version 3.4.1* Fun app! Lots of different stories to read! All different types and themes and genres! Prices start cheap but can get pricey though! ### 4/5 — Me encanta la app y sus historias *2026-07-25, version 3.4.1* Me encantan sus historias. Es un poco desesperante tanto anuncio y considero caro la membresía de una semana. ### 5/5 — Good! *2026-07-24, version 3.4.1* Wish it wasn’t so expensive but really like the app! ### 5/5 — Review *2026-07-24, version 3.4.1* I am enjoying the stories. I give it 5 stars. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-07-23, version 3.4.0* Good stories ### 5/5 — 5 Stars!!! *2026-07-22, version 3.4.0* This app has some awesome stories. 5 Stars!!! ### 5/5 — love it *2026-07-22, version 3.4.0* love the books and short stories, wish membership wasn’t 30 a week you earn corns for chapters but i wish there was a way to get more lol ### 5/5 — Jjjj *2026-07-22* Muito bom ### 4/5 — Alexa *2026-07-21, version 3.4.0* Me encanta esta plataforma 🙌🏻 ### 5/5 — Good stories *2026-07-21, version 3.4.0* App has very suspenseful stories. I can’t put it down but the take a break for the free read is very annoying. ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-07-21, version 3.4.0* Great stories ### 4/5 — … *2026-07-21, version 3.4.0* Stories are pretty good however it can be costly to read ### 5/5 — Good app *2026-07-20, version 3.4.0* My only wish was that it was 100% free to read through a book. When you have to watch ads or purchase coins it makes you kinda lose interest. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — What happened to FREE. *2026-07-28, version 3.4.1* The book I started reading is pretty good but the APP sucks. I refuse to keep buying coins and end up paying $100 just to read one book. ### 1/5 — Lies when it says you can read for free. *2026-07-27, version 3.4.1* They all want you to buy coins or whatever do read the next chapter. One book alone will cost you well over $100 to read. Not worth it! ### 1/5 — Where is the book? *2026-07-17, version 3.4.0* Ok you play commercials on other sites but then I can’t find the books you’re touting what’s up with that?…and when I hit keep reading it goes to your ap but doesn’t give me the book very aggravating what’s the point of having your app when I can’t get the books I want to read even when you’re the one posting them on commercials? Do better maybe your tech team needs a shake up this is why I quit using your app to read even though I have it on my tablet. Where is this book? The Human Girl Who Tamed Alpha King? Or is that not the real title? ### 1/5 — Its a scam *2026-07-15* I have paid for the coins, my money was debited but i did get any coins to buy the books to read. **Developer response:** Thank you for your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the unpleasant experience. If your top-up does not appear in your account immediately, please do not worry. This can happen due to a failed transaction or a delay in payment confirmation. Payment platforms typically require up to 24 hours to confirm a payment, so we recommend waiting for this period to pass before taking further action. In most cases, the credit will be applied to your account once the payment is confirmed. However, if the issue persists beyond 24 hours, please contact our online customer service via the "Help Center" in the app and provide your transaction details; we will verify and resolve the matter for you. Thank you very much for your understanding and support. ### 1/5 — Scam *2026-07-08, version 3.3.7* Story was copy and paste with multiple duplicates. Not bothering to waste money to complete such a poorly written story. Absolute financial scam. ### 1/5 — Liars *2026-07-02, version 3.3.7* This app advertising all books are free. Well that is simply a lie. Yeah when I first got on the app the first maybe 5 to 10 chapters are free, but after that, you have to pay coins to get to the next chapter and in order to have coins, you have to purchase them or jump through ridiculous hoops to earn them. That is not my definition of free just so you know if you want all the books free then you have to pay a 29.99 weekly fee to become a VIP. If that sounds like free books to you well then call me stupid but it doesn’t sound like free books to me. ### 1/5 — Overpriced *2026-05-29, version 3.2.7* It’s extremely overpriced. Only get full access if u pay 40.00 a week or even worse spending 10 on just a few chapters. Definitely will be removing and will not try this app again and will inform everyone I know not to as well. ### 1/5 — Not free *2026-05-24, version 3.2.7* They don’t even offer the ad option 😒 u gotta pay 9.99 weekly ### 1/5 — Way too expensive! *2026-05-24, version 3.2.7* You can get kindle unlimited for way less than these guys absolutely not worth it! ### 1/5 — Hhhh *2026-05-16, version 3.2.7* Hhhhh ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Happy reader *2026-07-31, version 3.4.1* Very good books ### 5/5 — The CEO under my desk *2026-07-31, version 3.4.1* 10/10 would recommend to everyone? ### 5/5 — Reckless Renegades *2026-07-31, version 3.4.1* I am loving the this series and I would recommend it to anybody to read!! ### 5/5 — Love! Thank you! *2026-07-31, version 3.4.1* Thank you for making rewards easier to get to & adding more tabs at the bottom. I didn’t know if anyone would see my requests. I’m glad it’s like AnyStories & NovelaGo now. Logins are so much easier. I have 1 book open per app. 😂 As far as people saying it’s not free, we can unlock free chapters several times a day & we can earn rewards. Some books are more expensive than others though. ### 5/5 — The Lunar Queen *2026-07-30, version 3.4.1* Love the book and the characters. ### 5/5 — Love but hate it sometimes *2026-07-29, version 3.4.1* Love the app just hate how you run out of free coins to be able to read or have to pay for more ### 5/5 — Breaking the ice *2026-07-29, version 3.4.1* Fab story thus far slow build whilst characters establish, I’m hooked ### 5/5 — Love *2026-07-29, version 3.4.1* The books are so good I can’t put my device down. ### 5/5 — Stuck with two alphas *2026-07-29, version 3.4.1* Amazing books do recommend but would advise to buy chapters in a bulk to save money ### 5/5 — Awesome! *2026-07-29, version 3.4.1* I love the books I’m reading --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
