I’m honestly so glad I never spent a penny on this app, why? It wouldn’t have been worth it. It’s kind of rare for a story to actually end on a good note or even with a legitimate end at all. Some stories disappear all together, or end abruptly with no explanations… and there are so many inconsistencies. Week after week I come back to finish the stories I’m into… that I’m invested in… only to have one end with out an end… it’s BS. At least it didn’t just disappear without a trace this time. And all the errors and bugs I’ve found, the creators said they were working on it. That was MONTHS ago. I doubt it. I had honestly considered using this platform for my own stories when I first started using it. But it’s all AI slop. If they have a plump character for the story line, the next scene… she’s super skinny. None of it consistent. And more times than not, the AI prompt has been left in the scenes. Or phases are repeated. Simple things that could have been edited out to actually make this even a little bit quality stuff but it’s like they don’t even try or care. I hold my stories with far more standards than this. Such great potential is wasted on the absolute neglect in editing and sharpening these stories…. Original review: Some of the stories are great and worth the wait, but I can’t get over some of the terrible inconsistencies with the AI getting things wrong. Not only that, but I’ve complained a few times about bugs and have been totally ignored. Also, stories will just completely disappear without a trace or just END without an actual ending. Bookmarks are supposed to hold your place, and the bookmark feature doesn’t do this. Waiting five hours between episodes is one thing, but coming back after those five hours (sometimes days later) only to have to wait another five hours is ridiculous. And the “Typically replies in 2 days” is a complete lie. I’ve messaged with concerns or complaints and it’s been WEEKS. No hint of a reply. Also, sometimes you can’t even back out of a story and have to close the app just to get to the home a screen. I’m so done with this broken app. ### 4/5 — Solid *2026-07-07, version 1.3.71* It’s a pretty solid app. The stories are really good. I just wish it was cheaper to read the stories. ### 4/5 — Good stories *2026-06-24, version 1.3.71* Great stories and visuals ### 2/5 — No So Bad *2026-06-17, version 1.3.71* You need the coins but the stories are interesting and quick little reads for the ones into spicy ### 5/5 — Picture quality *2026-06-16, version 1.3.71* The picture quality is good. ### 5/5 — Wow *2026-06-16, version 1.3.71* Great start dramas ### 4/5 — Jus to wish it was cheaper *2026-06-03, version 1.3.71* It’s great, just wish the timer was shorter and cheaper ### 4/5 — Really good, recommend! *2026-06-03, version 1.3.71* Really good stories with quite a lot to choose from. Only thing I’d change is the pricing, the lowest is £19.99, but there are ads you can watch and rewards to get coins ### 5/5 — LGBTQ *2026-06-03, version 1.3.71* Thank you ### 5/5 — Amazing *2026-05-26, version 1.3.71* Amazing ### 5/5 — Very interesting and lots of good selections! *2026-05-05, version 1.3.71* I am an avid reader so this has just added to my little escape with the beautiful art and detailed dialogues! Love it! ### 4/5 — It’s good! *2026-05-01, version 1.3.71* The membership is to expensive though! ### 4/5 — Good reads *2026-04-27, version 1.3.71* There are a variety of stories to keep you enticed. The comic book is different and fun! The lock time is a little long. ### 5/5 — Spicy *2026-04-26, version 1.3.71* It’s so detailed that it feels real ### 4/5 — One of my fav apps *2026-04-26, version 1.3.71* The stories and artwork are amazing!!! My only issue is that I paid for the yearly subscription, and it ended up being $30 more than the listed VIP yearly price. ### 4/5 — idk *2026-04-21, version 1.3.71* it’s great ### 5/5 — Shortbread *2026-04-19, version 1.3.71* Good ### 5/5 — Perfect *2026-04-18, version 1.3.71* Great ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Big waste of time and money *2026-05-27, version 1.3.71* Selected an annual purchase but finished reading all the stories within a week and now there are only four stories being drip fed weekly, if that. Big disappointment and waste of money. Also, some of the stories just cutoff unfinished, which was very confusing when they’re marked complete. They never add new stories. So…Not enough stories to make this purchase/app worth anyone’s time. It’s a shame. This could have been a great app. ### 1/5 — The ads need to go away along with the coins. *2026-03-07, version 1.3.70* I wish there wasn’t anything we had to pay for. Overall it’s a nice app but still needs to be fixed up a little ### 1/5 — SCAM *2026-01-27, version 1.3.70* This was advertised as animated stories like ai. Instead I somehow paid a full year when I thought I was paying one month, and it’s nothing but comics. I’d like a refund. ### 1/5 — Not worth it *2026-01-11, version 1.3.70* It’s just not worth the cost. There’s not a lot of stories and there’s barely ever any new ones made. Wasted money. ### 1/5 — The ads need to go away along with the coins. *2025-12-20, version 1.3.70* I wish there wasn’t anything we had to pay for. Overall it’s a nice app but still needs to be fixed up a little ### 1/5 — SCAM DON’T DO IT *2025-12-05, version 1.3.69* It’s not TV it’s like comic books. Total scam and somehow I thought I was paying for a month when I paid for a year?!? ### 1/5 — H *2025-12-04, version 1.3.69* K ### 1/5 — AI Art *2025-11-17, version 1.3.68* The stories are fine but the use of AI art takes away any enjoyment I could’ve had. ### 1/5 — Nope *2025-10-09, version 1.3.68* You need to buy coins to read! Just fantastic (sarcastic face) ### 1/5 — Quit *2025-08-29, version 1.3.68* Stop adding this ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — G *2026-08-17, version 1.3.71* G ### 5/5 — LGBTQ *2026-08-05, version 1.3.71* Thank you for these wonderful stories please make more of them ### 5/5 — Great *2026-08-01, version 1.3.71* Fantastic ### 5/5 — Spicy *2026-07-19, version 1.3.71* Spicy ### 5/5 — Very spicy *2026-07-17, version 1.3.71* The animation style is good. ### 5/5 — Good read *2026-07-10, version 1.3.71* This is really good and spicy! ### 5/5 — Awesome *2026-07-02, version 1.3.71* Good Stories ### 5/5 — Love the spicy *2026-06-25, version 1.3.71* Just wish it wasn’t so expensive 💜 ### 5/5 — Shortbread fan *2026-06-18, version 1.3.71* Great! ### 5/5 — I did *2026-06-18, version 1.3.71* Eueueueieie --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
