### 1/5 — Disappointment

*2026-08-24, version 7.13.0*

I have been using this app for several years and recently attempted to earn free ink through gameplay and other activities. I completed all the required steps and made the necessary purchases, but I was still disappointed to find that I did not receive the ink I was expecting. Therefore, I would advise caution when trying to earn free ink through the games or efforts, as it did not work out as expected in my experience. the customer service for the gameplay was nonexistent.

### 1/5 — Expensive!

*2026-08-08, version 7.13.0*

400-something coins for a chapter. Webtoon is cheaper with the same quality of content.

### 4/5 — So many fun stories

*2026-08-05, version 7.13.0*

I have been reading on here fr quite some time. I love the variety of stories and adventures. Helps me unwind or get me to rest. Only reason I gave 4 stars is because occasionally the app glitches where I have to try and reload at times.

### 5/5 — Love it!

*2026-08-02, version 7.13.0*

I love this app so much, just wish it had partnerships with games for longer. But it is still the best reading app I’ve used so far!

### 1/5 — Never use

*2026-07-19, version 7.13.0*

Hate this as its formatting for novels is atrocious in my opinion

### 4/5 — SO FUN But some downsides

*2026-07-16, version 7.13.0*

Really amazing app with lots of incredible stories similar to alot of other apps like this one it has its own currency, which is somewhat overpriced and annoying, but it’s still worth it and they have a thing where every day or so a new episode unlocks depending on the series which then you can access for 48 hours

### 3/5 — Not available in your region error?

*2026-07-07, version 7.13.0*

Stories I’ve been reading will suddenly become unavailable in my region out of nowhere, after having been available as recently as hours before. Restarting my device or uninstalling/reinstalling the app do nothing

### 4/5 — Lots of stories but Recent bug?

*2026-07-05, version 7.13.0*

Very fun and addicting app. Only trouble is I’m having trouble opening it currently? I click on the app and it starts to load but then just exits. Hoping this does not continue for long.

### 5/5 — Love the app

*2026-07-01, version 7.13.0*

Love all the different genres. Can get a bit pricey but worth it.

### 5/5 — Good

*2026-07-01, version 7.13.0*

It’s really good
