Scam $1/chapter

I’m not paying $80+ per book that’s insane.

Problem

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.

Ridiculous

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.

Hard to use

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.

The cost is INSANITY

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.

Buffering

Whenever I open the app and select a book it just keeps buffering. I find this very frustrating.

100%

Love this app

:p

Good books but the points for the next chapter is too much. How am I supposed to make 100 points within a day.

Good app

This is a good app wish it had more ways to get coins besides paying for them

Wow!!!!

Love love love this app!

Great Story Lines

Love the stories, but would like to see the daily rewards be a bit higher.

Very fun books

Love the books. Wish there was a monthly subscription for coins though!!!

Short Chapters

My only issue is the short chapters, and as you get deeper in the book the price gets more expensive.

Amazing

I love this app!! Keep the amazing stories coming!!

Good Stories

The app has alot of unique story lines that I haven’t encountered on other apps.

Patriot

Loved this story.

Betrayed and bound to be mafia queen

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.

His bittersweet regret

Wish we could just subscribe the app for a month or so without having to purchase coins though. But overall, I like reading

Betrayed Bound to the mafia Queen.
