Unless you want to spend a ton of money and still not finish a book I wouldn’t download this app. It’s a complete waste ### 2/5 — Too expensive *2022-10-19, version 2.6.4* They do have have good stories, however they are too expensive. Several hundred coins per chapter. It also doesn’t show how much it is to purchase a chapter while in the book. This app is not worth it in my opinion. ### 2/5 — Too Expensive and Poor Spelling *2022-10-14, version 2.6.4* This app is too expensive compared to other apps. I really like the stories but not the price for chapters. ### 1/5 — $65 for one 27 chapter book. *2022-07-26, version 2.6.3* This is beyond ridiculous. It’s sad really, the book I started was actually very well written and had me from the beginning. The price unfortunately is too steep for one finished online platform book. 27 chapters. $65. $2.40 a chapter. Insane. ### 1/5 — The worst reading app *2022-07-20, version 2.6.3* This app takes your money and you have nothing to show for it. When you go to read a chapter it cost anywhere from 60-100 and something coins. The chapters in the stories sometimes are only a paragraph long worth of dialogue. There are far better apps out there. ### 1/5 — Do not recommend *2022-06-21, version 2.6.3* I love the books but I have trouble with it if u buy coins after purchase it will start acting up it will say international error try back later and then it takes All your coins and start u back from the beginning not recommend ### 1/5 — Don’t do it whatever you do!! *2022-06-09, version 2.6.3* I have so many of these apps, I am rather addicted. This one however, is a waste of time and for the love of all money!!! I have thankfully found these stories on other apps so I can actually read them. First language or not they make no sense at all! It is like reading four languages and time periods at in the same sentence. They take your money, they don’t fix the issue. What you read on Facebook is the only part that is readable. ### 1/5 — Glitches *2022-06-01, version 2.6.3* It does not award the free coins. I watched several adds and even logged in and received the error message “unable to award” thanks for wasting my time. ### 2/5 — Expensive Book *2022-05-23, version 2.6.2* I’ve read like a little over half and I’ve already spent about 20 bucks on the dang thing. It’s an okay book but you read it and buy more coins as you go, not realizing how much money it’s gonna take to read one book. Definitely going to my other choices because $20+ those kinds of books is dumb. ### 3/5 — Best app I found so far *2022-05-19, version 2.6.2* This app lets you earn a certain amount of coins a day so you get to read 4-5 chapters a day. Wish there was an option to just buy the book for a few bucks instead. Joined the vip and since the update today I can’t collect my vip coins. Better be reimbursed as the fact that I am paying for them or I’m done with the vip and will cancel my subscription. Irritated that some books cost so many more coins than others especially when the chapters aren’t any longer. Went and decided to spend 84 coins for this one book thinking the chapter must be really long and it was short also now since the update it doesn’t tell you how much each chapter is going to cost don’t think you fixed bugs I think you created some ### 1/5 — To expensive *2022-05-18, version 2.6.2* I really like the books on this app but they go from a couple coins per chapter at the beginning of a book to 100+ coins to over 500 coins! College text books are cheaper to buy. Very disappointing. ### 1/5 — Over priced *2022-05-17, version 2.6.2* I actually really like the stories but the cost to read the is outrageous! For $17 I got to read 5 chapters of a book. They are charging 200-500 points a chapter. It’s ridiculous and I refuse to pay that, there are too many apps to spend that kind of money here. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — SCAM *2024-07-28, version 2.7.6* DO NOT DOWNLOAD! It won’t let me sign in or create an account. Then I bought coins to continue stories and it will not unlock the chapter. When I hit unlock it takes me to a new page where I have to buy more coins or subscribe. It says I have coins but it just wants me to give more money. I got into some stories I can’t find anywhere else. Please don’t make my mistake… ### 1/5 — Refund my money *2024-03-04, version 2.7.6* I started reading a great book paid for coins and when I returned to the app to continue reading my coins were gone. I noticed it said Guest so I logged in and tried to restore purchase that didn’t work so I paid for coins again only to find out I could not unlock the next chapter, so fix it so I can restore my purchase of the first 500 coins or refund my entire purchase amount of $9.99 USD ### 1/5 — It says purchased but can’t see the app *2022-12-23, version 2.6.4* I downloaded the app to read a book but it just says purchased and I don’t have the app. I just wanted to read a book I found. If I can’t use the app. I want to delete this app. ### 1/5 — Meh *2022-12-14, version 2.6.4* This app had potential. Stories are great but the coin an coin purchases amount are off. I can buy coins ie: 350 but a chapter will cost 144 coins and it doesn’t tell you how much the chapters are. I contacted the email provided to get answers on that and still haven’t gotten a reply almost 2 weeks later. Will be deleting so don’t waste your time on it. Sorry authors. ### 1/5 — Can’t login or purchase any coins *2022-11-14, version 2.6.4* I’ve tried everything I can think of to login to this app I have even tried just purchasing coins and again I can’t can this please get sorted as I would like to read a book on here that I started reading. Many thanks ### 1/5 — Frustrated *2022-10-14, version 2.6.4* I go to log in and it keeps saying log in failed. I go to get my check in coins and it’s always highlighted as I already have them but my coin number never changes. It doesn’t keep track of how long I read to get those coins either. It doesn’t tell you how much a chapter is either so I haven’t been able to continue any of the books. I’m getting frustrated cause I can’t find these books anywhere else on any other app but this app doesn’t seem to work very well. Yes I’ve made sure it’s updated and I’ve also tried deleting it and downloading it again. Seems to have the same problems for me ### 1/5 — Can’t log into app *2022-09-05, version 2.6.4* Had this app for a while and have read quite a few books. For some reason I can’t login and can only sign in as a guest. ### 1/5 — Books are good but prices not to much *2022-09-02, version 2.6.4* I just got this app from reading one of the books on Facebook but now I don’t won’t anymore the prices just to read one chapter is crazy I bought 550 coins and I was only able to read 3 chapters. To me that I would have to spend a least 80 dollars on coins to read all the chapters if it’s not a long book. I understand that the writers need to make money but that price will make you not won’t to keep this app. I have downloaded a lot of reading apps but this one is by far the worst one I have came across ### 1/5 — Ridiculously expensive *2022-08-27, version 2.6.3* $100 to read a complete novel? No thanks. ### 1/5 — Coin chargers are out ravenous! *2022-08-06, version 2.6.3* I am/was reading I’m not your mate anymore. I have only made it to chapter 8 and will probably not go any further. I purchased coins to add to what I had, 1200. + approx 300. Just got done reading chapter 8 and am unable to continue as it is telling me that I haven’t enough coins to continue to chapter 9. My balance is 500 coins. Almost 1000 coins for one chapter, the story is a good one, but there is no way I am going to pay $10.00 USD to read one chapter. This app and its sister app, Good Story, are both over charging and becoming rip-off’s. Buyer beware. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Ok *2023-05-15, version 2.6.4* So far so good. Hoping you can earn things easy and don’t have to pay… bc I’m done with that stuff ### 5/5 — I feel pretty good, so I came to give a good comment *2022-05-07, version 2.6.0* This is also very good to use ### 5/5 — The Abused Luna *2022-04-22, version 2.5.8* Good read! ### 5/5 — Watch videos *2021-05-30* I cannot get my coins/points from the watch videos. Please fix. Thank you. ### 5/5 — Very excited novel *2020-12-21, version 1.0.2* I’d love to read these novels everyday ### 4/5 — Good *2022-05-20, version 2.6.2* Good ### 4/5 — Frustrated *2022-01-03, version 2.5.7* The share feature has changed and now will not work. I have been on this app for probably a year now and have ‘shared on Facebook’ daily to one friend at a time (so as not to bombard or annoy anyone). Since it has changed up, it is more difficult to select a specific person and then it is not giving the coins. To me this is bad business because I have purchased coins in the past to read a book, that will no longer happen. And the daily sign in bonus, I took that deletion in stride, this is not cool!! ### 3/5 — Needs work *2022-12-07* Liking the book I am reading if only I can read more. It’s to hard to earn coins and it’s costing more than a hard cover book to read only a handful of chapters. I’m not against purchasing coins to read but there is a limit I spend on each book. Daily check in rewards would be good. They do read time rewards think that’s good but pointless if you can’t read my more that 1 chapter cause the cost to much and you read 1 chapter I well under the 1weews5 minute read time requirement to get coins. Also the need to display how much each chapter is so that we know when we are close to having enough funds to longer ### 3/5 — Log in Issues *2022-09-05, version 2.6.4* The story I was reading was good. However I routinely would get singed out of the app and have to log in. The most recent time has left me logged out for over a week and I cannot get back in. Needless to say I will be deleting the app. ### 3/5 — Good stories but expensive *2022-07-27, version 2.6.3* The stories are good but it expensive. It’s takes 300 to 600 coins just to unlock a single chapter. So even if you buy coins it won’t unlock very many chapters. Plus it doesn’t tell you how many coins you need to unlock, you just have to keep trying until it unlocks, which is annoying. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
