Scam app. Too expensive and Plagiarized from free reading apps. ### 1/5 — Stolen books *2024-10-18, version 2.1.2* One of my books is on here making money and I didn’t publish it here.

You click the Leave Feedback option, tap on the text field and it force closes the app. Meanwhile there needs to be a better process on reporting stories. ### 1/5 — App rips you off with prices change so you have to Topup *2024-07-10, version 2.1.2* This app has good stories but is very expensive, then I noticed it’s prices kept changing so you have to top up, it’s not glitchy it is ripping off readers by changing prices even though you have the value in your account. Don’t get it! ### 1/5 — This site steals their story and tries to sell them to unsuspecting people *2024-07-02* The story Malik and Jade is a stolen copyrighted story written by the Wattpad author GroveltoHEA. Do not let these thieving sites profit. This site steals copyrighted stories!!! Michael and Susan is another stolen copyrighted story written by the Wattpad author GroveltoHEA. Thieving cheats. Do not give this thieving site your hard-earned money. Bottom-feeders. Michael and Susan is a stolen copyrighted story written by the Wattpad author GroveltoHEA. That alone is despicable. But within Michael and Susan they have also stolen from this author and added Gage and Sadie, Mason and Sage, Kade and Abigail. . They have no creativity on their own. They steal from others and then sell to unsuspecting people. The site is scum. King and Yara is also a stolen copyrighted story by the Wattpad author GroveltoHEA. Just another reminder that this site steals their stories and then sells them to unsuspecting people. This site is scum. Daily reminder that this site continues to sell stolen copyrighted books. **Developer response:** We are resolved to respect and preserve the copyrights of creators.

Just a really good book so far. ### 5/5 — Shepard *2024-08-29, version 2.1.2* Great books ### 5/5 — Love it! *2024-08-29, version 2.1.2* Def love reading my books on here. ### 5/5 — I love this *2024-08-29, version 2.1.2* This is a good app to read on late at night and it also has really good and interesting books ### 5/5 — Amazing Game!! *2024-08-29* I live this game!! I wish there were other things you can do to get bonuses though. And I wish the chapters didn’t cost so much bonuses but other than that I love this game!!! I recommend getting it!! ### 5/5 — Expensive and bad customer service *2024-08-29* This app is terrible. Chapters is this app are expensive. Most of the books are not free or unlock free chapters over time. Even with the paid subscription you don’t get more than a few chapters with the coins they give. You should get daily coins with it. I never received them. Emails to the admin were ignored. It was the most expensive book I have ever read. I wish this app was better because the books do seem good and I did enjoy the stories. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
