This app is to expensive and they have so many issues keeping it running . You should avoid it. I spent 40 trying to finish a book on there and they just kept wanting more money I didn't even get to finish the book it would have cost me 90$ by the time they were done charging me for each chapter. Do not get this app! There are better ones out there I like dream

I was using it to read, noticed that my coins dropped significantly more each chapter than they should have. Went from 147 to 87 in the span of a single chapter which was about 20 coins. I had previously noticed coins disappeared quickly and thought it was quick reading and began to watch the coins, which turned out to actually be disappearing more quickly than they should. Perhaps it is a bug, but that is bad business and fraud whether it's accidental or not.

Honestly, I really love the chapters I'm reading. But the app itself, has been complete trash. Gives an option to watch ads for 10 pearls, about 10 ads in, I realize that it's been saying "you've got 10 pearls" while in fact I'm not getting them at all. I have screenshots with time stamps for the last two I did where it didn't reward them at all, but sadly can't attach. Fix this, this is why readers hate downloading these apps! It's insufferable and just utterly annoying at this point.

I have spent over 100 dollars over a year on the same book. And it never ends. The plot is the same and it just repetitive at this time. The pearls expire fast. So if you think save some up. Nope. No coin or pearl should expire. Especially after paying as much as I have. Also the amount of coins or pearls it takes to open a new chapter rises over time. And you only get like 2-3 chapter release a day. If any. Readit is so much better

The story I was reading is Fantastic, however it would cost over $100 to finish it. The app is easy to use but way overpriced. The cost is anywhere from 8 to 21 coins per chapter where other apps cost 3 consistently. I would love to finish this story but I don't even pay that price for new hardcover books... the author isn't listed either so how can they get any credit for their work. To be honest I feel like I wasted my money and wouldn't recommend this app.

This app is ridiculously expensive! I have spent $50 and I've only read 43% of the book. The app requires you to spend coins for EVERY chapter you want to read. It doesn't offer you to pay one price to buy the whole book at once. There are also numerous grammatical errors throughout the chapters. I would NOT recommend this app, because the cost to read the entire book would probably cost over $100. I still have 13 coins that I purchased that they won't let me use until I purchase more coins.

Not a fan, I have already paid $8 and I am only 16% of the way through a book that has grammatical errors and the pages are spaced out, in total probably 2 paragraphs if that per page. By the time I get to the end of the book, it would prob cost me upwards of $30. Not worth it. Have a set price instead of buying stars to unlock a chapter.

This app is a scam. The app barely works. I paid for a $24.99 subscription for three months. I began to immediately have issues with it not providing the tokens it promised. Trying to contact their customer service does nothing. I canceled my renewal that is not for another 2 months. Next thing I know my entire VIP account is canceled early. I receive none of the extras I was supposed to get. No refund, and no assistance. And to finish it off they have these events that just suck in general.

This app is ridiculous. I read a few chapters of a book from an ad on another app. Sounded interesting,downloaded this app to finish reading. Tried 8 times to buy coins but kept getting an error message. I'm grateful I did, because it's over 6k coins to finish reading the book. Hardcore rip off. Put in on Kindle and I'd gladly buy the book for a reasonable amount of $$.

Some of the stories are really well written. What's irritating is this app allows the authors to upload more than 1 story at a time. Ella Lane has 4 books out. She started with 2 and was updating regularly. She stopped updating one a while back. Now she's stopped updating the other and started two new works. It's infuriating! 😤😮‍💨 Have the stories uploaded completed or at least keep from adding to their works if their not regularly updating ones they already have!

Extremely disappointed overall. The app functions fine although it glitches every time it starts up for the first time because of the pop up ads for other books. Found a book I was enjoying but every chapter was like 30+ coins. Spent $40 and didn't even make it through an entire book. There are other apps with better books that cost much less.

I downloaded the app to read a book that I previewed and expected it to be a few hundred chapters since the chapters are short. It ended up being 1000+! Yeah, I'm not reading all of that. Stories get ridiculously convoluted if drawn on, which apparently became the case here. Knowing when to end it is key to a good book. It feels like an AI generated endless story after a while, with repeating themes and nonsensical dialogue. Do better.

the books are interesting but you get 2 to 3 "chapters" a day. which are actually about a page a piece. it is very frustrating especially when I have paid money to read them. I am currently reading 2 different ones and they are both the same. 2 chapters & done for the day. it literally takes 10 minutes to read both. I would like to give a higher review but it really isn't worth anyone's time to start a book. if something doesn't change soon. I will be deleting the app & not finish the books.

False advertising. I decided to give it a try after seeing an ad that said " Still pay for reading? All chapters are FREE" But really only the first couple were to get you invested. After that you need coins or pearls to unlock chapters which cost money and they aren't cheap. It would cost easily over $100 to finish this book. I don't mind paying for books. But it shouldn't cost more than barns and noble. The last app like this I spent over $100 and hadn't even gotten half way through the book.

I've had this app for years. I liked the stories. Bad grammar and some translations were weird but the stories were interesting, even though they ALL follow the same storyline. I have to admit, I spent way too much money on this app. One thing that bothers me is that I unlocked an entire novel that I liked only to have the damn thing disappear some time later. I have no way of retrieving all the chapters I bought. So, DON'T bother making purchases. Only do the daily goals to unlock chapters.

Don't waste your time or money. Saw an ad stating you can read for free which turned out you can either pay to unlock chapters or watch two 30 second ads for each "chapter" which are very short. At the beginning, the chapters are longer. As you read on, it gets shorter which would be equivalent to two pages on a book. In the end you can end up paying over $100 to read one book. It is a shame they have some good stories but how they have it structured is shameful. I ended up deleting the app.

Chapters are too short. Not enough pearls with or without paying (they were also just decreased with the update). And for some reason, photo's of books keep showing up in my gallery even tho it says that the app has no camera access. I deleted about 80 of those photos from April.til now, and just deleted 5 more. I'm enjoying 1 of the books I'm reading; it's just too long with too many mistakes and short chapters. Bridgett
