Punktabzug, da seit letzter Woche das Freischalten von Kapiteln unverhältnismäßig teuer geworden ist. Vor 39 Münzen für ein Kapitel jetzt 89 😡🤬😡 Die Höhe des tgl Lock-in-Bonus (zB 8 Münzen) und die Anzahl der möglichen Freischaltungen nach Anschauen von Werbeclips, oder die Möglichkeiten Münzen zu verdienen wurde aber nicht erhöht. Die Kapitel sind im Verhältnis zu den Kosten viel zu kurz. 😡🤬🤬 ### 3/5 — Entscheidet jeder für sich selber *2026-08-18* Positiv: interessante Geschichten, Transparenz über Abo und Münzen, tägliche Bonusmünzen durch Lese-Challenge (Zeit und Kapitelboni) oder begrenzte Werbung, kostenlose Kapitelfreischaltung durch Werbung, die ersten Kapitel gratis Negativ: begrenzte Gültigkeit der Bonusmünzen, wöchentliche Bonuszulage funktioniert nicht, Abo: erste Woche 9,99 Euro/ Woche, danach 22,99 Euro/ Woche (wöchentlich kündbar, für mich kein Schnäppchen), trotz Abo auch Zusatzkosten möglich, weil nicht alles freigeschaltet ist, bei mir: nach den Gratiskapiteln anfänglich 39 Bonusmünzen/ Kapitel (fand ich ok), plötzlicher Sprung auf mindestens 90 Bonusmünzen/ Kapitel. So finde ich die App ganz gut, bin noch unentschlossen, Abo ist mir definitiv zu teuer und wenn sich der „Preis“ Münzen/ Kapitel weiter erhöht, werde ich nach Beendigung der angefangenen Bücher die App wieder löschen. ### 3/5 — The Bikers hidden heiress *2026-08-17, version 3.42.5* Great book, and it was an add in another app but when I clicked to continue the book it took me to TapRead and the book isn’t there. I searched everything I could think of. Why does this happen? ### 3/5 — Good stories worst value *2026-08-14* This app has amazing stories and they’re actually really well written… I have two major problems with this app… it throws several pop up ads per chapter, and doesn’t give nearly enough bonuses for an avid reader… There are several apps that have decent quality stories with much better rates and bonuses… chapters, best novel, My passion are just some examples of better quality reading apps… ### 3/5 — No such stories *2026-08-11, version 3.42.5* I swear this app is full of false advertisement. Half the ads that pop up with stories aren’t actually on this app. ### 3/5 — H Peters *2026-08-10, version 3.42.0* The cost is too high to read one book! ### 1/5 — Not there *2026-08-09* Can’t find the story ### 1/5 — No Way To Find Stories That They Advertised *2026-08-09* I read the first 4 Chapters of “The Luna Queen He Rejected” in one if their ads. I clicked on Continue Reding link and the app opened but the story didn’t appear. I tried several times to use their search feature but it didn’t find it. Too many of these apps use the same search features that never find the stories from ads. This is extremely frustrating. I guess you lose the revenue and don’t care. Do like several others apps and provide instructions on what the internal story ID number is to search on. ### 2/5 — Rip off *2026-08-09, version 3.42.0* I think its crazy how a chapter can go from 29 coins to the next one costing 93 coins thats crazy and pretty disappointing and disgusting tactics to get people to spend crazy amounts of money to listen to a story and as they get further into the story the chapters go up in coin prices so like 2&4 hundred coins for a chapter insane ### 1/5 — Can’t find the book *2026-08-08* Read the first 3 chapters on an ad, went to Download the app can’t find the book wast of time ### 1/5 — If I could read this app as negative stars, I would *2026-08-02, version 3.41.5* I foolishly wasted $30 on this app and it just took my money and never gave me any coins. I followed the protocol to get a refund or have the issue rectified but it never happened. It’s still in pending and it’s been over a week. There’s no response. Nothing at all just taking my money. ### 1/5 — Tap read *2026-08-01, version 3.41.5* Teaser site. Ad popped up, interesting story . I downloaded the app to continue reading, & the story ‘had been removed’. ### 1/5 — Unclear payment for books *2026-08-01* Click bait with no vlear payment to get to read something. $7 for a few chapters of poor quality click ait. Appalling and pure money making. ### 1/5 — Buyer Beware *2026-08-01, version 3.41.5* Found a really good book on Facebook. Downloaded the app. Exhausted the ad-based method to get coins. Opted to buy a one week subscription. Got charged three times. Never got any coins. Am now struggling to recover my money. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — More fake story ads *2026-08-19* I am SO SICK of apps that run ads advertising stories that don’t exist. It seems to be the hot new stupid trend to try to generate clicks and downloads, and it makes me want to burn the entire app to the ground. “The Biker’s Hidden Heiress” is one such story, for anyone thinking of downloading the app for it. Don’t bother, you won’t find it. These days, the easiest way to tell if a story in an ad is fake, is if it seems like it might have actually been written by a real person. If it has any kind of quality or creativity to it at all, it’s fake. All the full length stories on apps like these seem to be Ai written. I hate it here. ### 1/5 — Ridiculous inconsistent app *2026-08-18* The book (which is good) I’m reading at chapter 46 goes from 39 coins to 93 coins to unlock. Daily rewards which should keep a reader engaged with the app are not consistent. One day you might get 6 coins then the next 20 coins but never enough to unlock a chapter. It does give you 3 chapters after watching 6 ads. The chapters are usually longer than the standard 6 pages that most apps give. I will be deleting this app because there are better apps out there after I’m done reading this book. ### 1/5 — Impossible to use *2026-08-17, version 3.42.5* I came across an ad for this app while playing a game. The ad showed me the first couple chapters of a story, but when I pulled up the app to continue reading, I couldn’t find the story. I searched for 10 minutes, then gave up. I’m not going to use an app if its creators have such little respect for my time. ### 1/5 — Frustrated *2026-08-16, version 3.42.5* Can’t find the story from the ad that brought me here. Happens so much stopped trying but it was so good smh. The bikers hidden heiress was the name on the ad if anyone can help with characters chaos and Odessa ### 1/5 — Doesn’t remember where I stopped! *2026-08-15, version 3.42.5* Every time I go on the app to continue reading, I have to open the book and scroll forward to find were I left off in the story. It’s annoying to open the book and see Chapter One again and again. ### 1/5 — Not as advertised *2026-08-15, version 3.42.5* I downloaded based on a story you advertised, “Bound to the Alpha King.” It’s not even in your collection of books to read. Why advertise a book you don’t have? ### 1/5 — False advertising *2026-08-13, version 3.42.5* They show you a preview of a story and then you can’t find it anywhere. I haven’t found a single story they use as ads in the website. Waste of talent of the authors and time. I wouldn’t give this app one star if it was an option ### 1/5 — Do NOT Download this app!!!!! *2026-08-10, version 3.42.5* This app is just a money grab scheme, do NOT I repeat do NOT download this app!!!!! There is no reason I should be spending so much money PER chapter to read a d**m book. This whole concept is stupid and is all a scheme to get people to pay ridiculous amounts of money for no reason. Do NOT get roped into spending your hard earned money on this scam of an app!!! ### 1/5 — Ripoff *2026-08-10* £10 in coins paid for 40% of a story. Scammy scam scam. ### 1/5 — Cannot find a story *2026-08-09, version 3.42.0* I cannot find a story advertised. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — O Erro do Alfa a vingança da Luna *2026-08-21* Excelente ### 5/5 — Great app *2026-08-20, version 3.42.5* The Exile Luna Returns I love that story out of every reading app every short story I’ve read by far 10 out of 10 this story should be made into a movie it’s the best one so far I love it and I’m gonna be sad when I’m done reading it’s a must read. ### 5/5 — Thunderforge Alpha contract Bride *2026-08-19* Very gripping and fast pace.
