Pretty good app. So far i think it is one of the best reading apps. It would be nice if there were more ways to get coins. An hour between chapters seems forever, and I think it is expensive to purchase them. But there are several free books you can read while your waiting. I really wish I could rotate the screen on the app, when I charge my tablet the cord is in the way 😕

I like the idea of this but I'm really frustrated by the lack of larger amounts of coins... I already subscribe to Kindle Unlimited and now a monthly fee here ($9.99/200 coins) and it didn't even last through a book and a few other episodes! There are no options to just purchase the "book" and I'd rather do that to support the author. The other complaint is that there is no way to adjust the brightness settings nor can you turn it sideways, which is more comfortable to hold sometimes.

Most of the stories I read are complete but there have been several that are locked after 3-4 chapters. Also, the stories that are 2 hours + to read....? Not happening unless it's a fantastic story. I have deleted a few. I understand you're trying to make money but it is listed as free reading. Also, the app freezes a lot! Fix this and your rating will go up! :)

It's more cost efficient and privacy friendly to buy paperbacks/ebooks or borrow books from your local library. Trust me, the trackers and ads in this app are insane. Free coins don't come by often enough + 1 hr wait time to unlock the next chapter = they want you to buy coins to read. But the cost of buying enough coins can be more expensive than a typical paperback too. If you're not willing to spend money, you waste a lot of time waiting to read the next chapter. Very inconsistent readings.

I enjoy the app and the stories, but the cost of coins and the amount of time you have to wait for free tickets is absurd. The chapters in most of the stories are so short, you can read them in a couple minutes. I could by a paperback copy of the story with less typing errors from the book store or download for WAY cheaper. I hope you look at ads as an option to read the next chapter. Mostly it isn't worth it. When I finish my books I'm working on...if I ever finish them, I will delete the app.

Since the last update, certain stories will randomly pop up and interrupt what I'm doing. It's irritating and frustrating. It happens every time I open the app and go to Gift Box and then randomly while I'm moving around and reading stories. The story that pops up is one that I don't think I've ever read. Please fix. I have Readit also downloaded. I prefer Radish but that may change if this continues.

Without any notice, the app was revamped and supposedly improved. I guarantee you have lost many subscribers with the changes. It is hard to see the benefits of the app. In addition, the books added have longer wait times and you have to use more coins for chapters that come out one at a time on certain days and times.

It's simply too expensive. I completely understand paying an artist for their work, but compared to other reading apps, this one is costlier - $.050 per episode, and depending on how many episodes that adds up fast and can cost more than a traditional paperback. I was going to finish one story then delete the app, but I somehow got signed out and was unable to sign back in, so I didn’t finish a single story before deleting the app.

Love the books and the layout of the app. Only problem iv ever had is when I signed up for the automatic coin charges, I was unable to cancel the charge when I wanted to stop. I had to contact my card company. Also the fact that the coins expire. If I pay for something I should b able to keep it... But the books r great and have a wide range available

Great stories. Wide variety, new stories on a regular basis, updated often. So far my favorite app for reading. However I've been having issues with the app closing itself out, not responding, freezing up, or incessantly popping up with stories I didn't click on. I've cleared my catche regularly and kept up with updates. At a loss to stop the glitches.

Attempting to read on this app is supper annoying! Many of the episodes (chapters) are super short and each costs coins so you either need to wait a long time after reading the equivalent of a few pages or pay. Even if you do pay it takes a while to load and the whole thing is clunky. The stoys are more like second drafts then finished books. They need to be filled out and edited. I would much rather buy an actual book for a set price from kindle or the like. What a waste!!

The app itself is good, it's easy to earn coins or wait for chapters and the good news is, if you wait to open a chapter, it remains unlocked. I've used other apps that have it to back to being locked after 7 days. The webcomics are really good but small selection. I take a star off because a lot of the novels have errors/ written by non-native speakers and I wish they'd invest into developing/promoting genres other than "romance" (really just smut on here). More higher quality novels please!

As of right now, I am very frustrated with this app. It keeps taking my book and saying I have "finished" reading it and "completed" when I am only midway (?) through it. It doesn't even let you know the number of chapters in your book. I have to keep going in and I tap on anything to try and take it back to my story...3 times now it has done that. Now your app keeps just showing your pink Radish screen. Someone needs to work on this app! Shouldn't be this difficult to fix it!

I've really enjoyed this app! There are enough "wait to read" books that I don't feel like I'm being swindled, and there are some great stories on it! Lots of variety, and I've found some new fav authors! UNTIL, the app was updated and in the course of about 2hrs, I went from accessing all my books, bookmarks, history, etc., to now, I'm not even able to get into the app without logging in. I don't want a new account, and though I've asked for password reset, I've gotten Nothing to reset!

I've seen some pretty interesting books on this app, but I can't read them because I can't buy the coins for them. This app would be so much better if we could watch ads for coins. Not everyone can afford to pay for coins so often. And free coins don't come nearly enough to sustain a reading. It's also a bit difficult to weed out books of specific genres. But the many point here is coin availability. It makes it extremely difficult to use this app.

I wish this was a place where you could read an ENTIRE STORY instead of a chapter at a time. I've wasted more time trying to FINISH A STORY than I can count. Not going to keep this app. You're wasting my time by having 20 "books" open and can't finish one, THIS SUCKS. I'm going back to paperback books I can actually finish in a day instead of months!!!!

It's okay, but not for me. The coins feature is BS. Alot of stories aren't finished, or aren't the best quality. That's frustrating when buying coins to be able to unlock the chapters in one go is often well more than the book's worth. You'd be paying ×5 the price of an officially published book. ESPECIALLY for books with more chapters. The app just feels a bit underdeveloped for it's age now. No reading lists, the search function is extremely limited, and there's VERY little diversity.

Books are a hit or miss, most are the same cliches, but if you look real hard you'll find some talented authors and great stories--but all the ones worth reading cost coins. The app itself is terrible. You have to pay for nearly every chapter in most books, and when they have coin events, evidently the coins expire. So if you don't have time to read twenty four seven and use the coins, then don't bother. Also don't bother if you plan on saving them up like I attempted to. It's a rip off. And when I get halfway into a book, waiting on the locked chapters to open, suddenly I can't unlock any chapters at all, because they locked them all. So now I have three books I could only ready halfway, and when it starts to get good, they locked all the chapters so I can't read them without coins(and with their crappy coin giveaways now, I don't have any). Not only that, but the app has very few options, you can't contact an author for anything, and the app still has major glitches. It'd be cheaper to buy books in person then use this app. Overall, it's more trouble than it's worth in my experience.

The lucky draw is rigged, only ever lets me win 2 coins. They have some good stories but it would take you months to finish one book without paying for it. Only gives you so many options to get free coins/vouchers. The only good thing is that it's seems like the chapters are cheaper then most reading apps but they still don't allow to make any real coins. Please fix so this can be different then all the other apps

I'd give a 5 if the wait times were not so long between 'chapters' & if the 'chapters' were not so short. The stories are great. Give more opportunities to earn free coins too. It takes so long to finish books. Update:One bug just popped up a few weeks ago on a couple of books I've already read. I wanted to go back & re-read the beginning & the chapters are once again 'locked' to where I have to unlock them again! Why is this happening? 4/2024 Still the same issues & wait times are even longer!
