The book I have been TRYING to read is good but the app itself is a disaster. I would have happily paid to unlock all of the chapters but the money I already spent was a waste. The first time, it gave me a chapter I already read, 6 times. When my coins ran out I could watch videos again but only let me read two chapters a day. The second time I bought coins, it opened chapters in the middle of the book but they were locked again before I could read them. Third purchase, I didn't get the coins.

So far this app seems to give numerous opportunities to gain points and a few free coins here and there…not enough to binge read, but enough to get through a few chapters, between all the ads, articles, games, etc. Not ideal for getting lost in the story, when the abrupt end of each chapter brings the fantastic reading to a screeching halt…while watching more ads, reading more articles, playing more games are necessary to build up enough coins to open the next chapter.

Chapters are ridiculously short, some just a couple of pages, so you waste more time watching the 2 ads per chapter than reading, if you want to do so for free. There were 600 chapters in the book I read! If you pay, chapters cost from under 10 to over 80 coins! The story is poorly written and isn't even edited. Lots of inconsistencies, errors and the same scenario repeated over and again. Much better value to buy a properly edited hardback. Won't bother with another title.

I like the story I am reading but I am frustrated at the fact that obtaining free coins is very limited. the majority of the ads are for obtaining points, which can only be converted for 20 coins every 24 hours. this, with daily check in coins only allows you to unlock 1 or 2 chapters per day. when the story is only a few chapters long, you want to be able to finish it and not have just one chapter left.

I am so disappointed in this app. I started a book and it is very goodbye also very long. I am trying to finish it, but I'm getting so frustrated as the ads are way too long. the coin system is confusing, AND I spent about $40 already buying coins to try and finish this story, and it still does not give me enough coins to finish it. For $40, I could have finished at least 3 books from the book store or Amazon

Wide array of content. Although AI-translated, some are really hard to put down. You can also leave comments throughout a book + respond to others. I'm leaving ☆☆☆ because of its UX. I cannot stand how easy it is to accidentally flip to another page (or chapter) when all I want is to swipe up to hit my phone system's back button. It's even worse on the home screen. The # of times a new book opened when I'm trying to go back is frustrating. Steals my coins when that happens too. Will uninstall.

This is one of the better reading apps I've found! The stories are well written, and edited!! I love that you can watch ads to read chapters. They give you many opportunities to earn "Points" - through little games (similar to Temu games), watching ads, rating books, etc. There are tons of ways to obtain "Points." My only complaint is that it takes a long time to convert those "Points" into "Coins" to read the books. Otherwise, a great reading app!

(10.31.2025) I'm currently reading my first book. I started it 4 days ago. I'd have finished it by now, but you can only watch so many ads a day to open the next chapter or 2. Of course, if I want to pay $14.99 a week to get a certain amount of coins, I can open chapters quicker. They do have other options. For $11.99 a month I can subscribe to Kindle Unlimited & read 20-25 books in a month.

I began reading a story I found on an ad in a game. I like it so far, but I can not turn points into coins. I think it would be a cool idea if It was possible. The points are for avatars and screen backgrounds. I also think the chapters should cost less, like about 10 coins or points, instead of 22 coins. However, I think books online should have regular prices like a paperback in the real world. For example, if you want to read the whole book/story, pay $5 or $10.

This app forces you to purchase coins, the last twenty chapters can only be read if you subscribe. You only earn points whiçh are useless. The reward system is hard to understand, you accumulate "points" but they don't open a chapter, and "coins" are hard earn. Some of the books looked interesting but there are to many reading apps that allow you to finish a book and offer an easier or less confusing and more productive reward system.

Good stories, poor attention to detail. They actually expect people to pay to read books where the author can't even keep the characters straight. Characters' names change, they switch places, and there are spelling & grammatical errors. Having a book proofread should be a requirement prior to posting, especially if readers must pay. There is the option to watch ads for points, but that does not matter when coins are needed to unlock the next chapter.

The books are interesting and the layout is fine, but the coin system is a bit frustrating. Several times, I've hit "Unlock This Chapter" only for it to spend my coins to unlock the NEXT chapter which means I have to wait even longer to continue my story. Also, the "Points" to "Coins" conversion is time-based and does not appear to be consistent; there is no option to pay for chapters with, for example, "25 Coins OR 250 Points" (or whatever the conversion rate is equivalent to). Please fix this.

Lots of interesting stories but I didn't like the part where it felt like I have to only have a subscription before I can read the rest of the stories. There are other book apps that let us readers watch ads to unlock chapters. And instead of earning enough coins from watching ads, it's mostly points which I can't seem to use to unlock chapters

the only reason I deducted 2 stars is due to the amount of money it takes to watch a few chapters. And the chapters are literally 2 1/2 pages on average. I like being able to watch ads for chapters, but when it asks to read 2 or 3 articles to open a chapter, then it stops working. No matter how many articles you read or how long it takes, they won't give me a single (1 out of 3 articles read) to open the next chapter.

The app is pretty good, but I don't like that the only real options for reading the books are to spend $100 on coins or a $60/month subscription, billed weekly. There are no other coin packages or subscription tiers, and there are not enough chances to earn coins. Instead, a lot of the rewards you can win are for points, which cannot be used to buy chapters, as far as I am aware.

I just started with this app and found an enjoyable story. But buying of the story is quite expensive, it is very hard to earn actual coins to open the next chapter. I suppose that is all intentional to get you to spend the most possible but it also breaks the enjoyment of the story to watch so many ads and not get coins just points. Maybe there are other ways to earn them that I don't know about? Also, the stories need really good proofreading,that takes me out of the story as well.

Awful, even after you purchase chapters after a few weeks it will make you repurchase the same chapters. So if you unlock them and forget to go back and read in their timeframe you will be paying again for the same chapters you already paid to unlock. Ridiculous! If I paid for the chapters they should remain open as long as I have the app. Definitely don't open chapters and pay if your not going to read them immediately. I will be getting rid of this app.

Just downloaded the app today. Started reading a story and its so good I cant put it down. I'll update/edit my review after I've used it for a little while and give y'all a really heads up. Update: Its better than most apps I'm using. One app i use, which is very similar to this one, to get free reading you have to watch ads, obviously, but the other ap builds up to having to watch 4 ads each time... ridiculous. This app, the highest it's gone up to is just 2 ads and they're not very long.

I am very happy with the reading options on this app. I like a variety when I read and this site fits the bill for that. I've noticed some errors in spelling, typos, etc. In some cases an end to a sentence that doesn't belong there so I have to look back to understand what is meant to be said. It throws off the reading and takes time away from actual reading........ I sent this as a screenshot but never received the bonus coins. Do I have to send it again?

As a new reader to the app, I really enjoy the books on here. However when it comes to the whole coins/point thing, I think It can be better. Why do I have to wait for the conversion. Especially when im in the middle of a good part, and dont have enough coins, but have a lot of points and can't do anything with them. Not only that, after watching all these ads just to get barely enough coins to pick up from where you left off, only to have it skip that chapter and go to following chapter.
