This app feels like a complete scam! They make it incredibly easy to charge your credit card but almost impossible to cancel your subscription. There is no clear or accessible way to stop recurring payments, and the entire cancellation process is ridiculously frustrating. It honestly feels like they are more interested in taking your money than providing a legitimate service. I strongly recommend that you DO NOT download this app or give them your credit card information! Customers should not have to jump through hoops just to stop being charged for something they no longer want. Save yourself the headache and your money. STAY AWAY! ### 1/5 — Too expensive Don’t waste your time! *2026-10-31, version 1.1.0* This app is one of the most expensive apps I’ve been on for stories. It pushes you to sign in for bonuses yet there are none and 160 coins per 1 minute chapter is outrageous! Other apps offer far more for less. With bonuses and their chapters are 50 coins. Will be uninstalling it! **Developer response:** We’re sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your feedback! For a smoother viewing experience, we recommend our weekly subscription, which lets you enjoy series without using coins or reward coins to unlock episodes. Thank you for your support, and happy watching! ### 2/5 — Unable to cancel *2026-10-31, version 1.1.0* Rating low as it is still charging me despite having no way to unsubscribe. I am being charged weekly and cannot afford food now because of this. I only bought the trial, I never intended to keep the sub, I cancelled and now I cannot cancel and it’s still charging me **Developer response:** Hi, subscriptions purchased using other payment methods are not managed by the App Store/Google Play.

You have to pay subscription to watch the whole story or just watch 5 episodes by watching 10 adds a day. **Developer response:** Hi, we are sorry for your poor experience.

At this point, just say you want our money and stop pretending anything is free! The attitude is crazy because why am I watching ads AND still expected to pay? Be so for real. 💀😂 **Developer response:** We’re sorry for the inconvenience and appreciate your feedback!
