This is so much better to encourage readers. ### 2/5 — Nice stories *2026-07-09* I love the stories but at one point I had watch a video to unlock a chapter then the cool down then the next day when the 10 hours was up that option was gone and can’t unlock a chapter at least once a day because the sign in is no where enough and $5 to unlock just two chapters is crazy ### 2/5 — Too pricey *2026-05-11, version 3.0.0* Found a good story but it’s too pricey for chapters deleting this app ### 4/5 — Glitched adverts *2026-04-23, version 3.0.0* Absolutely love the stories on this app 🥵😈💕 but the ads don’t allow you to keep reading.. they say ‘failed reward’.. once this is fixed, it’ll be a fabulous app for steamy stories and so much more.. please 🙏 fix the add problems 🤞 ### 2/5 — Ads *2026-04-10, version 3.0.0* Ads every page Deleted ### 3/5 — Great novel cheater high cost *2025-05-24* Novel is great but this company and author cheats with higher price to read as you get deeper. I might spend more if they were fair but suggest you don’t start no matter how much you like the story ### 3/5 — Can’t use bonus coins *2024-10-30* What is the point when you have plenty of bonus coins to unlock chapters but can’t use them. This is something that needs fixed. ### 4/5 — The true dragon queen. *2024-08-14, version 1.0.3* Really liking the book just wish there were ways to read more without paying to get more coins ### 5/5 — Reading *2024-08-14* They have a variety of different books to read ### 2/5 — Cost too much *2024-08-14, version 1.0.3* Too many points are needed to unlock a chapter. It would be worth it if at least you were able to unlock one chapter per day. ### 5/5 — Mistress on my husbands phone *2024-08-14, version 1.0.3* Great ### 5/5 — Book *2024-08-14, version 1.0.3* Enjoying the storyline ### 5/5 — Great *2024-08-14, version 1.0.3* The books are so addicting, I can’t stop reading it. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Horrible app *2026-05-26, version 3.0.0* Books are fine but most of the time the ads don’t work and I don’t want to pay a high f fee to read. ### 1/5 — Pay to read *2026-05-23, version 3.0.0* This app not only collects ad revenue from forced ads that don’t give chapters as rewards, but also requires you to pay to read. To read 25 chapters is pretty much $25 USD which is more expensive than physical copies. ### 1/5 — Worst app *2026-04-20* For one the pricing is ridiculous for what you pay for each chapter and to make it worse how an ad pops up every minute. Only read a few chapters & couldn't take the ads that keep popping up. Will be deleting this app. ### 1/5 — Poor Update *2025-09-15* Recent update to the app makes it so I cannot view chapters I have already purchased. It forces you to the top chapter that hasn’t been purchased and will not allow you to scroll past even though you have already paid for the chapter. ### 1/5 — Over $100 for one book *2025-04-14, version 2.0.0* These apps are so flipping expensive it’s unbelievable. Book with 76 chapters. And it will be close to $120 just to read that book and that’s what so-called discounts ridiculous. ### 1/5 — Theft *2024-09-12, version 1.0.3* App is stealing books and user information. ### 1/5 — Plagiarism of Copyrighted Material *2024-09-05, version 1.0.3* I found MY book which is exclusively signed elsewhere on your app. DEAR READERS:: Fo not support this app. They steal content from other authors. A plagiarism of Copyrighted material case has been filed! ### 1/5 — EXPENSIVE! *2024-08-11, version 1.0.3* This app is ridiculously expensive, you’ll be spending $50 just to read 10 chapters. Stupid. ### 1/5 — A bit of a rip off! *2024-08-10, version 1.0.3* The prices change, they increase the more bonuses you get, then, increase again when you buy credit! Sad really. ### 1/5 — Stolen Books *2024-02-09, version 1.0.2* My copyright protected books Wait for Me and Devastate Me (written by Anne Storm) are on this app without my permission! This app is a book piracy scam! Apple needs to take it down! My books aren’t the only stolen content! ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Actually I give it a zero *2026-05-25* This site is a POS. While reading a chapter you have to watch a couple ads. But, add to that you have to buy the chapters! To me the ads during the reading of a chapter should be payment for the next chapter, but nooooooo - too much greed!!! I’m deleting this site, and making a note to never download it again!!!I will also discourage friends from this site as well. ### 5/5 — Love the books *2024-08-14* I love the books they hold your attention and keep you entertained it’s like your in the book watching the events unfold the only thing I wish was different was the cost to unlock chapters otherwise I love it ### 5/5 — Rate *2024-08-14, version 1.0.3* Love the books ### 5/5 — Enticing *2024-08-14, version 1.0.3* Pulls me in, don’t want to stop reading. ### 5/5 — Alana James *2024-08-14* Great books! Love the genres! I don’t like how you have to use coins to be able to continue on reading. I wish it was free reading, but overall great app! ### 5/5 — Great app but *2024-08-14* Great app but it’s a bit expensive. 100 coins for 1 chapter that’s “12 pages” long when the last page is blank is a bit ridiculous. Especially since it’s $5 for 500 coins. I only expect the price to increase the further you go along. All in all a 170+ chapter book is a heft price to pay. But free coins for 5 stars… ### 5/5 — Love this app *2024-08-14, version 1.0.3* Great content ### 5/5 — Great app and stories *2024-08-14, version 1.0.3* This app has been great and I love the stories I have found on here. I ### 5/5 — awesome *2024-08-14, version 1.0.3* love this app ### 5/5 — Great books. *2024-08-14, version 1.0.3* I’m reading the --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
