Way too EXPENSIVE to read!!! Its cheaper to go out and buy the actual book! I like book apps because it gives me access to books on the go. But this app needs a much better system! I bought 1000 coins for $9.99 plus tax thinking I would get through the whole book. But nope only 32% of the book and I'm out of coins. The fact that each chapter was 42 coins is crazy! It also does not tell you that it cost that much until you run out of coins. So I'm leaving this review and uninstalling it.

I like this however I feel that I pay about 10 bucks for a paper back and I can't even get through a book on 9.99. that is a little disappointing. Most of the books are well written sometimes they wander and get a bit hard to follow and then get back on track. Maybe I read too fast because it's like everyday or a couple times a day. I do not completely understand how the app works so maybe I am missing a way to get free chapters. I seem to be mostly hooked.

This app isn't worth it. Don't waste your time. the cost of these books is way more expensive than anything you will buy in a store, online or through kindle. The chapters are extremely short and it cost a lot just to unlock one chapter. The higher the chapter the more expensive it is to unlock.If you forget to sign it for one day, the accumulated bonus are deducted or expire. This is what unlocks the chapters.

Ads say you read for free but you don't, you can gain bonus to read a page (none of these are chapters they're just a single page of a tiny notepad) but guess what you only get a few bonus per day and the cost to read a tiny page is high so your meager saved bonuses per day will expire most of the time before you can ever get to spend it because bonus has a very short expiration date. Pretty much the worst novel app ever, at least the others you can read at least 4-6 pages per day.

I'll be getting rid of this app as soon as I spend the coins I currently have. It's always been overpriced compared to Kindle or paperback, but I didn't mind as much when I could get 50% off downloads everyday. Now it'll cost around $50 for one book and I only get the 50% off coupon once a week. I want to support fledgling writers, but that's a RIDICULOUS amount considering they aren't professionally edited even for grammar. I'll find the writers I can on Amazon and call it a day

If i could give zero stars, I would. It's impossible to read an entire story without spending real money. I have tried saving coins to spend on the stories and they expire before I have enough saved up to spend on even one chapter of a story. If I can't read an entire story then I am deleting the app and going to read a physical book. It would be cheaper to buy physical books than to pay for these amateur stories. I look forward to reading ones good enough to be published.

Too expensive anymore. I used to love this app for reading I've been on here for a few years now and they just keep changing stuff and jacking the prices up.. you earn points to buy coupons or coins and they got rid of the 90% off top up coupon and then the largest coin package also. You can save to earn money back but once you do that they are gone too it's ridiculous. A lot of the best authors are leaving here for subscription based apps and honestly at this point I dnt blame them!

The platform needs to provide editorial assistance to non English speaking authors attempting to reach English readers. While many stories are interesting, the language and grammatical errors often discourage continuing with reading. I've frequently stopped reading books when it becomes obvious that the writer's own culture is being reflected rather than where the story says the characters are located.

So expensive. This will be the most expensive reading material you will ever read. It's more expensive than real actual books. The point system is stupid. I spent over 5$ on a few chapters of 1 story when I could've spend less than that for an actual book. It would make more sense if they made you pay per story instead of using the point system of however many points per chapter. They are literally just trying to get you sucked into the story and rob you. Top dollar for amateur reading content.

While I like the set up of the app and enjoy reading, it's MUCH too expensive for me to afford to buy, so I go the route of collecting points so I may read. However, your points get deleted after a short period of time if you don't use them, so I can never seem to even collect enough points to unlock the next chapter. It's unfortunate because the stories are cool but the app takes too much of my time trying to collect points for me to not even be able to read one more chapter.

I originally gave this app a 4 star, but after trying to purchase coins and the complete nightmare that was, I dropped it to a 2 star. After trying to purchase coins through the app and continuing to get error messages, I reached out to customer service and was instructed to purchase through the website. So I did, but when you purchase through the website, you have to make sure to select that the coins are to be credited to the app(which I did but they still went to the web account).

Great app! The only issue is I recently used a $25 Google play card and added to the app to receive coins; however, my coins DID NOT update to the amount that it should be. I followed the recommendations for trouble but I am not able to get a credit or a refund. Very disappointing. I had another payment issue but it was resolved. When it comes to purchases, please update and fix the kinks in your app. It makes people not want to use it if their money is being taken and no added coins .

Good stories. i prefer to finish one at a time. i don't like having to jump around. Being a fast reader, it's aggravating how frequently i have to use coins and points to get to the next chapter. If i tried to read like i do a normal book, I'd be broke irl, in no time at all. i get frustrated trying to jump through hoops to earn my way through one novel. the stories I've read are well written and engaging.

This is a great app and has so many amazing books to read. But my main issue with this app is if you want to continue to read, you have to click on 2 to 3 adds for 1 or 2 coins per award. Sometimes, more adds just for it to register you clicked on the add just to recieve the reward. I've been clicking on adds for a few hours now and i still cant move onto the next chapter. And i'm pretty annoyed by it..

The story I'm TRYING to read is good but, the chapters are very short & cost 33 coins to open the next one. You have a choice of either buying coins OR watching ads (to earn 1 coin each), to open the chapters. I'm disabled with a limited budget & don't care to waste time watching 33 ads for each chapter. Gave 2 stars because what I was able to read seems like a good story but with 62 chapters left, I'd have to watch 2,046 more ads in order to finish the book. NOPE! Uninstalling.

The app does exactly what it states it does. My issue is the fact that when I said I wanted. A reminder of when my next free episode was available, I thought it would give me a daily push notification. I wasn't aware that it would add A single daily reminder for the rest of eternity to my calendar. I tried uninstalling the app. Try changing the settings. Nothing works. Do not set a reminder otherwise, your calendar will be filled with single events That have to be individually removed.

If there was a zero ID rate that. I have spent so much money on this app not paying attention to the points/ bonuses issues really just reading sometimes thinking damn those went fast but.. That was totally my fault. But still so you buy coins that come with bonuses. they tell you they use the bonuses first, ok! But then if you don't use these bonuses within like 4 days I think it is they expire.. 3000 bonus points...ill add to this cuz everyone should be aware!!

Well, I tried this app again after all. It's really worse than before. Earning coins, just to have them disappear after reading a little bit, buying coins to have them disappear right after purchase, and yeah, still see a TON of grammar issues, spelling mistakes, wrong word usage. Stories need to be edited better. OVERALL, IM DONE with this app.

I've enjoyed many stories on this app, but I'm getting frustrated. I only read stories that are complete. Sequels are a pleasant surprise. Twice now, I have started a completed book that moves directly into the sequel that hasn't had an update in months. The current one hasn't been updated since March, and I didn't find out until after I had topped up on coins. The one before is apparently a legal battle between dreame author. If it's not being completed, why is it still available?

Great books but expensive!! I have gone through 4 books so far and they've been great! However, you have to buy chapters after a certain point in the books. When you buy the chapters the cost of them goes up with every chapter. There's no $2 for 100 coins option or anything like that it's $5 for 400 and that's the lowest. You can subscribe, which I'm not too sure I'll be doing but I might. Subscribing doesn't give you free books though, it just gives you more coins each day.
