I’m not paying $80+ per book that’s insane.
Trying to pay using PayPal; get the passcode; go back to app and the page to enter passcode is gone. Then I tried using Apple; purchased coins; coins did not appear in the top-up. Email receipt from Apple showing the payment but still no money in top-up.
The price to read a story is ridiculous. One book cost 100 coins for just one chapter. So I know it would cost hundreds of dollars just for one book.
What’s frustrating is it doesn’t take you to a library where you have saved books. The app doesn’t save on your phone. So I’ve purchased coins for stories and can’t find them any longer.
I got a sample of a story to read on Facebook. It was entertaining enough, though low quality, so I downloaded the app, willing to spend some money on this particular book. Imagine my utter HORROR to see that this book would cost me almost $300 to read 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 $300 for a low quality, unedited ‘book’. I can’t EVEN, it’s too ridiculous and hilarious. I can’t even believe people would pay for grammatical errors, spelling errors, blatant inconsistencies (the author couldn’t even keep the MAIN CHARACTERS NAME STRAIGHT 🤣🤣🤣), plots that don’t make sense and one dimensional characters. And you have the audacity to charge $300. Well, y’all are brilliant, the real idiots are the ones paying. You can get a decently edited, actually fleshed out book from Barnes and Nobel for less than $20…and LIBRARIES ARE FREE (just yelling so those in the back can hear me). Honestly, these apps are infuriating, price gouging wastes of time and energy. Run away, 0/10 recommend, this is a zero star review.

Whenever I open the app and select a book it just keeps buffering. I find this very frustrating.
Love this app
Good books but the points for the next chapter is too much. How am I supposed to make 100 points within a day.
Love love love this app!
This is a good app wish it had more ways to get coins besides paying for them
Love the stories, but would like to see the daily rewards be a bit higher.
My only issue is the short chapters, and as you get deeper in the book the price gets more expensive.
I love this app!! Keep the amazing stories coming!!
Love the books. Wish there was a monthly subscription for coins though!!!
Loved this story.
The app has alot of unique story lines that I haven’t encountered on other apps.
Amazing novel. I really enjoyed reading it. I also shared it with my friends and the are saying the story is captivating. Its a bit expensive to read the story in the app but it deserves it. I would like to say thank you to the author and to wish him luck in creating more of this stories. O would like to ask the author if its possible to print the book or the books he/she created or will create in the future because they will be a success.
