Et la on me fait attendre pour lire mes pour le rapporter un 50 de chapitre en arrière pour les 2 livres. Ces vraiment une arnaque ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2026-09-01, version 8.22.6* At first I liked the app a lot. Especially the fact that I could earn Fast passes every day to read another chapter. However after I got to about chapter 250 of one book, the app seems to not function. I take time to earn rewards but they aren’t credited. I used their help and did everything directed and still doesn’t credit. Obviously I spent many hours in the app and wasting time watching video and reading books to earn rewards only for them to not be credited seems like a scam. I’m going to delete the app and never look back, see if I can find the books in other apps. ### 3/5 — Great app but the updates suck *2026-08-30, version 8.22.6* When is the new update for the app coming out been waiting on it for a while ### 3/5 — It’s ok *2026-08-30, version 8.22.6* Most of app rewards don’t work. ### 1/5 — Scam! Big Scam! *2026-08-25, version 8.22.6* I subscribed to the $14.99 weekly read a the novel a couple of chapters later I was asked to buy coins to continue reading? What kind of scam is this? If I could rate this app zero stars I would. Beware! Beware! Beware! ### 1/5 — Way Too Expensive *2026-08-25, version 8.22.6* I’ve started a book which I really like but to finish it costs at least $150, that is absurd. ### 4/5 — TLDR: 4* added tap joy? Doesn’t work right, haven’t received a working offer yet, wasted hours *2026-08-24, version 8.22.6* I have played a number of tapjoy “offers” trying to get fast passes but have yet to get an offer that actually registers correctly. Great concept, poor execution. Maybe test this some more on the Dev side, and get it working correctly before launching to the readers. I’ll bump back to 5* when you do ### 2/5 — Unfair payment of their Authors *2026-08-24, version 8.22.6* I am a loyal reader! Yes! But there are a few things that bothers me! I follow a few authors on here and they’re all STRUGGLING! How when their books have millions of views! How i it that this app has probably made millions apon millions of dollars but the ones who make the app what it is today get paid scraps! It HIGHLY UNFAIR! I’m reading a book now with over 3 million views! Coins to read one chapter can cost you 3.00 dollars and above! This is one chapter when the book it self can have over a thousand chapter! And these Authors are barely making ends meet! How UNFAIR IS THAT! This app wouldn’t exist with authors!! DO BETTER WEBNOVEL! Without the authors you would not have an app! Do Better! ### 1/5 — AI *2026-08-23, version 8.22.6* This entire app is 98% AI generated novels. It wasn’t always like that. But as time goes on more and more stories are the same AI generated writing style. Not a single new story has any originality when it comes to how it’s being written. If you not here for things like, shadow slave or lord of mysteries I wouldn’t waste my time or money on this app. ### 3/5 — Fix this *2026-08-23, version 8.22.6* I don’t know what’s going on, but y’all just recently took away the chapters underneath the books in our library and I need you to put the chapter numbers back under there. It’s messing up my reading rotation. I need to be able to know how many chapters have been added, since I looked at a book please and thank you. ### 3/5 — Crashing *2026-08-23, version 8.22.6* This app keeps crashing while in the middle of a book. When it crashes I loose all my progress on said book too. ### 1/5 — Misleading consumers *2026-08-23, version 8.22.6* Sat down to read a book and it had duplicate chapters after buying a set in bulk and customer service in this situation was utterly awful and am frustrated as for how good the app is it still sees some of the most basic issues a app that involves “reading” should have had. If they would have had a streamline process for this it would be great and here’s your fix: C) Problem with a novel - okay great what about it is the problem? And if the user has any sense just have what they say reviewed And respond with the old classic “thanks for letting us know could you do” this, this and this so we can fix the problem and we will get back to you with more information Like how hard is basic support ### 4/5 — Shadow slave fast pass *2026-08-22, version 8.22.6* Idk ### 1/5 — Great novels, lousy scam of an app *2026-08-22, version 8.22.6* So you pay for a week of novels and evidently they get to decide how much of it you’re gonna read. So you’re stuck watching tons of ads and the chapters just keep getting shorter. Kind of sucks because the book is pretty good. I should have paid attention to the low rating on the reviews. Hopefully I’ve lowered it even farther so they don’t scam someone else. Activating that 24 hour give me my money back guarantee, please. Walk on the ground.Ill have to pass on the rest of the book. I don’t have that kind of time or money to throw away. ### 1/5 — AI is writing most of these *2026-08-22, version 8.22.6* True writers are becoming more and more rare. ### 1/5 — Fraud *2026-08-21, version 8.22.6* You advertise free and then immediately want to charge for a subscription. That’s called false advertising ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — cancellation *2026-09-02, version 8.22.6* in order to actually cancel your subscription you have to do it by clicking the membership banner and scrolling until you see a link that says manage subscriptions and then cancel it..i cancelled in from my apple subscriptions and got charged and only realized it now ### 1/5 — Done! *2026-09-01, version 8.22.6* Been trying to delete my account and site won’t let me. So done having to keep paying these ridiculous prices. Going back to purchasing a digital book from Amazon . ### 1/5 — Spams with notifications. *2026-08-31, version 8.22.6* You will be spammed with notifications about people getting donations in stories and you can't turn it off. There is a setting to turn said notifications off but it doesn't have a save change option so it stays on. ### 1/5 — A fake Luna picked by an alpha king *2026-08-31, version 8.22.6* First 5 chapters were great but deleted app dues to book not finished. Why would I pay if it’s not finished!!! ### 1/5 — Fix this please *2026-08-31, version 8.22.6* PLEASE stop letting COMPANIES and people post ads that DRAG YOU TO POP UPS and PLAY LOUD MUSIC ### 1/5 — WTH *2026-08-29, version 8.22.6* I was reading a book, then a pop up shows up telling me I had to sign in to keep reading, so I signed up. The book was fair, and I wanted to read a couple more chapters before committing. Unfortunately, once I signed up the book I was interested in was gone, and in its place was a list of things I had to do to earn points so I could use this app, but the book was still missing. What kind of site is this? I do not want to read comics, watch ads, or any of the other childish BS your site is requiring, I just want to find the book I was reading! But now I just want to cancel, and block this app completely! Do you even have completed books, comic books do not count! ### 1/5 — Bug *2026-08-29, version 8.22.6* Don’t know why but latest update caused the chapter counter/reader on library page to go missing ### 1/5 — Irritatingapp *2026-08-27, version 8.22.6* This app has been the hardest to deal with I downloaded this app because I found a few stories I wanted to read but I can’t ever find the story in the app and they don’t put the names so it’s even harder to find if they even have it at all I don’t like this app it needs changes upgrade something ### 1/5 — Not good *2026-08-26, version 8.22.6* Unfortunately this is a bit of a scam. Some great stories but the chapters are too short yet full of repetitive words and flowery writing aimed at increasing the word count, which you as a reader has to pay for. At least one novel is incomplete (after nearly a year) and the company refuses to refund. That’s just dishonest and fraudulent. ### 1/5 — Tricked and ticked *2026-08-25, version 8.22.6* The greed they want for these stories is a crime. Hands down. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — App’s sooo good loving my experience on it with the free limit you guys do occasionally it’s dope *2026-08-29, version 8.22.6* Free Reading limit occasionally is awesome ### 5/5 — Can’t stop *2026-08-29, version 8.22.6* Hard to just spend 30min reading, when you look at the clock it’s already getting late. Nice job writers 👌 ### 5/5 — Newbie *2026-08-23, version 8.22.6* I have just started my first story on this app. So far, it is wonderful! Not the Story I intended, but one that is very interesting. ### 5/5 — I love this app please never change *2026-08-17, version 8.22.6* I genuinely love this novel app, it’s one of the best if not the best. The translation are by real people and multiple people can upload the same novel so if you don’t like a translation you can see if there is another one you prefer. Not only that but the filtering and the remaking is sooo helpful to choosing which translation to read. Not only that but there are comics, fanfics, AND e books all in one app. I also can’t believe it’s free, you can pay to get other stuff like add ons or early reading but it’s OPTIONAL. You can comment you can bookmark a certain chapter you can LIDTEN TO THE NOVEL AND DOWNLOAD IT I love whoever made this app like omg omg long this is me begging the developers to NEVEER change this appp don’t make to pay to read or any of that I love you guys it’s like you can read what the readers want thank you from the bottom of my heart THERE ISNT EVEN ADSS OMG I LOVE YOUUUU I WISH I COULD GIVE YOU 1 MILLION STARS OMG IM SO HAPPY ### 5/5 — Quick word translation feature *2026-08-14, version 8.22.5* Please add a quick word translation feature I already sick off googling the words that I don’t know. Please add a translation option next to ‘’ comment, correction, share’’ ### 5/5 — ويب نوفل *2026-08-13, version 8.22.5* ما سبب توقف الاعلانات لفتح اجزاء جديدة من القصة ؟ ### 5/5 — Account *2026-08-12, version 8.22.5* Hey I lost my account can you please fix it ### 5/5 — Livros viciantes *2026-08-10* Maravilhoso, mas para conseguir desbloquear os livros, requer muita paciência ### 5/5 — Great reading *2026-08-08, version 8.22.0* A great place to find whatever you want to read and share your thoughts with others ### 5/5 — Error con la traducción *2026-08-07, version 8.22.0* Muy buena, pero la traducción está fallando, pueden arreglarlo, por favor? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
