Too many ad

The book I was reading spare was a great book or at least it was starting that way, and to read a chapter and watch an ad no biggie but then it gets to where you’ve got to watch six ads to read a chapter that that’s getting ridiculous

The Spare

This is a good read. Especially if you’ve ever felt used.

Bad stories, Ads Galore

The 4.7 star review is BS 99% of reviews are like mine, only 1 or 2 stars. Bad stories with long suffering, door mat women whose sister or best friend sleeps with and then takes her selfish, ungrateful, narcissistic husband after she’s put him through college or given him a kidney. Either cost a fortune to read each of the 300-500 chapters or you can watch ads to read each short chapter. Except unlike a lot of apps, each new chapter cost more ads. I stopped when I had to watch 5 ads to read a very short chapter. Don’t waste your time or your money!!

Ads are crazy

Story is OK but the cost to read a single book is insane. Even more insane is the ever increasing number of ads
I would give it zero stars if I could.

Ad reading Requirement

Found a really good story on this app. However, you're required to watch so many ads to read one chapter it's beyond ridiculous. Right now it's showing I have to watch 11 ads to read one chapter. To buy coins is very expensive. This is one of the worse apps I've seen for FREE reading. MY time is worth money so watching ads for 10 minutes is just plain stupid. Going to be deleting this app.

Bad blood

The story is different. It has caught my attention and I want to continue to see where it leads!

Too many ads

Stories are good but I’m over having to watch an increasing number of ads after each chapter. I don’t mind watching ads to read the stories, but 26 ads and increasing after every chapter is ridiculous.

Love these stories

Love these books I like read books with ads even tho I’ve seen three ads at a time and no chapter sometime and some time a chapter I won’t buy a book I love the watch ad for chapters

False advertising again

Ads said stories were all free. They aren’t.

My sister Stole My Husband

I thought these were supposed to be free so they’re not free because now I am have to buy coins in order to continue. I really want to finish the story but since I’m not gonna be able to finish the story, I’m going to have to delete you. This just sucks. Thanks China or whatever Idiot decided this to do this.

The betrayers song.

I’m waiting for her delicious revenge.

Waste of time

My time is valuable and having to wat a ton of ads to just unlock a chapter is ridiculous. I thought is was going to hit a cap like in other apps, most of them have them at around 3, but no it keeps increasing. It gets to the point that you’re no longer interested and just feel compelled to delete the app like the wicked witch of the west, cackle and all. This app is not worth your time if it keeps stacking ads like a greedy little gold digger.

Adds too long

The white band that appear recently at the bottom of the screen is extremely annoying. I cannot read with this. I gave myself a break from the reading, but no, I’m deleting the app. The adds now are really long. They used to be like 30-45 sec. Now there seem no end to it, still lock in the add after 3 min. Stories were ok, but not worth with this

To many ads

Choose not to waste my little income on paying for reads. Every chapter has more ads to watch to read the next one. Nine ads are to many to read a chapter that takes less time to read than the ads do to play. Some ads done even register. Can’t judge book as wasting to much time with ads to read much of the book!

Does What It’s Supposed to Do.

I gave this app four stars because it does what it is supposed to do for the developers, take your money, waste your time and make it difficult to cancel a subscription. Don’t fall for it. Plus the stories are pretty pathetic; full of victims with vicious families and cheating husbands/fiancé’s. Makes you wonder if “doormat” is all these women’s first name. Ridiculous!! Don’t get hooked-up with any of these time sucking money pits.

ADS! ADS! ADS!

I deleted this app after chapter 8 of the book I was reading. It had gone from 1 ad to unlock a chapter to 4 ads to unlock one chapter... and each of those ads had stacked 2 ads into one, so it was actually 8 ads!!!

Extremely Disappointed

I was reading “The Branded Queen” and I came to a standstill after chapter 196. It indicated that the story is ongoing. So I waited. But it’s been about 6 months and nothing. So when I came to the App Store to enquire I find that the App I have is old and redundant. I downloaded the new App (this one) but the book isn’t listed. So what do I do? I’m so into this story and can’t wait to see where it goes but it looks like it’s been abandoned. It’s one of the best ones I’ve read in these book Apps. I’ve searched other books on this App to find something else interesting to read but they appear to be all AI and have no feeling in them at all and there’s little to no dialogue. I now will only read at most 5 chapters and if there’s no dialogue then I delete and check another one. I have yet to find another good read. This App shows, so far as I’ve found, about 5 authors total that all have obscure names using initials, and the old App doesn’t show any authors at all. It looks like these stories are 100% AI with “The Branded Queen” being the only one I’ve found that reads like it was written by an actual person. I don’t know what happened here but honestly, at this point I’m only keeping these Apps with the hope that the book I’m reading will be finished but I’m not holding my breath.

Always the B U T

Great Stories, BUT….Too Expensive!!! Wished this company realized, we Readers are smart enough, to know, that Good money is made off of the ADS!!!

Greedy App

This app has at least one good story that I am currently reading, but the number of ads to read a chapter increases every chapter. I am currently at 23 ads to read 1 very short chapter. Does their greed know no bounds? Ridiculous!! For this reason I m deleting the app, better ones out there.
