This app has interesting books but, I noticed something quite funny about them. The initial free chapters are quite long. Long enough to draw the reader in while the chapters you have to pay for are quite short. What a not so nice way for you to make money off of people. The only reason for the 2 stars I'm giving is the fact that the reads have good plots. Don't let that go to your head though. I'm digusted by your business practices and amounts need just to read.

1) These are written by aspiring authors not professionals and the writing isn't as good. 2) The story I read was missing random words once or twice per paragraph. 3) Who in the world pays that much for a lower quality short novel? I read 4 "chapters" which would be maybe 10 pages in a typical book and it required at least $5 to access the next one, as well as not offering me any way to know how many chapters were left/the cost to finish the novel. Not worth the time.

I considered the app to be worthwhile due to it's rewards for watching ads. But that's all changing. Apps like this can make quite a profit off the ads we consumers watch. I watched said ads at 3 coins per ad resulting in 30 coins per day. As of today, to get the same amount I would now have to watch 15 ads. Not happening. The prices charged to read are outrageous so I don't purchase coins. A penny a coin doesn't seem like much until the book you want to read costs 5735 coins or $57.35 to read.

It is trying to charge 40 or more dollars for you to be able to read an incomplete ebook. There is no information on how the app runs, or the functions, or if there's possibilities for free chapters aside from the occasion 5 or 10 coins that expires quickly, not even enough to purchase another chapter. Way too expensive and NOT a user-friendly platform. I would honestly give zero stars if possible.

Scammy app.. Ok I got hooked on FB by one of the stories, downloaded and let me tell u.. the story I was reading is full of errors with super short chapters and isn't complete, just to read that one story it costs over $70. Yes 70! And it's not even completed so it's going to be 100 or more dollars to read ONE STORY on this app. There are little bonuses of 3 coins you can get but each chapter cost different amounts like 20, 32, 50 or more coins. I can't respect these authors who allow that.

Like most I read the first 8, appropriately long, chapters before downloading the app. Once downloaded I found how much additional would cost and it was comparable to some other reading apps I use until I realized the "chapters" became short 1 to 2 paragraphs long and the price of chapters went up. There is no way I'm paying $20-40 to read an ebook. I understand this is for beginner writers but the spelling, punctuation and occasional completely missing words guarantee I won't pay for the app.

To expensive to keep reading. Consider putting ads between chapters so that y'all get paid and your customers can keep reading without having to pay over $40 to read a fantasy book. Most fantasy book Do not cost more the $25 in hard cover to read. If you want ppl to keep reading off your app make it affordable. I am going back to my other app that uses ads to help keep cost down for their customers. I don't mind watching ads if I can keep reading.

Bought a coin package for 9.99. I used 28 to unlock, it never asked again until close to the end and said I had only 25 coins left so couldnt finish the book. I will just buy the book for 4.99 on Amazon. It will be cheaper. While the storyline is good, the punctuation and grammar are lacking terribly. So paying 20 bucks or more to read the book is unreasonable. I understand supporting artists, but I have no plans to put them through college. English 101 should be considered prior to publishing.

Really like this app for reading I've found alot of books I like! I don't understand the 2 free chapters a day I feel like I've never gotten any free chapters and again the constantly buying coins gets annoying and prices but you have to see how the books end. Also watch because some books aren't finished and you have to wait for updates and if you have several books updating you lose track of which is which lol!

The books on here on pretty good, but OBSCENELY expensive. One book I started reading was going to cost almost $100 in coins. That is insane. I could buy multiple hardcover New York Times best sellers, which are thoroughly edited for grammar & continuity (something these books tend to lack) for that. No book is worth that kind of money. You won't find any published fantasy novel that costs that much. It fits into the grey area of a scam & is incredibly upsetting.

Unbelievable! Downloaded the app so I could finish reading the book. Purchased 500 coins for $4.99. After reading a few chapters before going to sleep, I go back to read it tonight and it's locked. This app would probably try to charge me $20 just to finish it. Story was enjoyable but not worth the $5 I paid by a book with awful grammar and typos. I overlooked that because I liked the plot.

3*s ONLY because it has a few good stories. It takes way too long to be able to advance in the stories, I end up having to go back to the beginning and re-read before I can continue my book that I'm reading. Then I have to read a different book to get the 30 min time to collect a way too small coin amount and the ONLY other way to get coins is to do the daily check in. Wasteful! UNINSTALLING and recommend GoodNovel... The same books I was reading here are there, and I ACTUALLY get to read them.

I have uploaded several book apps, but so far this is my "go to". I have literaly lost three days, not realizing the time was flying by. When I realized it was evening and I was still in bed, I said screw it and kept going. Ive open this app every chance I have just to see what's going to happen next. 100% recommended. Plus the chapters are longer and cost less then the other apps I've tried

I'm a little disappointed with the app operations at the moment. At first readers needed to wait a day or two to read. The. The ad format started which was great. I really liked a book and I decided to pay for some coins. Now I'm not receiving the ads anymore. So if I choose to not want to buy anymore coins I'll have to wait 3 days to read one chapter and I was reading 5 books under the free ad format. The coins I bought finish really fast it's unfair I can't go back to the ad format.

The books start off being good & able to capture your attention for several chapters. After while the author seems to have trouble keeling up with the characters & the storyline. It appears that the story is out of sequence. Some of the books are continuous, they only give you 1 chapter at a time. This will cause you to lose interest in the book.

Over $20 spent on coins and 4 hours reading! I am deleting app. I am not even halfway through my first book on chapter 74! It has had multiple good stopping points, to finish this book and make sequels. The story is great. However I wouldn't pay $20 for a paper book, I will not spend over $20 for a digital copy on an app. Breaks my heart because I don't get to read about the wedding. It sound weird, but I would pay $5 each for 6 books of a series. However not over $20 on a run-on epic novel.

Most expensive app ever! They charge per paragraph even though they make it look like a chapter. I have spent over 40 dollars to 'unlock' the 'chapters' and haven't even gotten to the end of the book. Before you know it you will probably have to spend double that to read a full book. For that price I can get a year subscription to Kindle unlimited and read multiple books for free. Not worth your money. It's a scam.

Pretty neat take on ereads. Pay by the chapter, instead of the book and the whole series is sometimes "included" so you don't have to go searching although some are unfinished and still in progress. I especially find this intriguing from a writers pov, a great way to put your works out there while still in progress. It would be great if the "cost" (amount of coins) per chapter were set per book or at least more easily known.

Books are good but sometimes way too many chapters. Sometimes the ads cover up the last paragraph on the page and this is frustrating. All in all, the books that I've started reading so far have been worth the hassle and frustration with the ads. I like that the characters seem more real, down to earth. Another frustration is not being able to change the Spanish into English. I had downloaded several reading apps and the stories on this app is by far some of the best I've read.

Has good books compared to other reading apps I've downloaded, but the chapters are very short and expensive. Sometimes, I get to unlock with ads, which I wouldn't mind, but recently,every time I run the ad, the app crashes. Then I have to close it, open, and redo the ad until it works. If it does work, it won't give me the credit so I have to keep trying until I'm able to get view the ads without the app crashing and watch as many ads needed to get a credit for one chapter.t It's frustrating!!!
