1/5BEWARE! Do not install!!!!!!!
I would give it a 0 star rating if I could. I am having a hard time canceling this subscription. Although it sates that I should be able to go to my subscriptions and cancel, I have an iphone, it’s not even listed there yet I am getting charged every week. I have emailed the emails listed and haven’t heard from anyone yet. If anyone has been able to successfully cancel their subscription to this worse app ever, let me know.

1/5Stories wrote by a toddler learning english from someone speaking pig Latin
This app will let anything pass as a story. the plot of one story changes into almost an entirely different one 20 chapters in. They kept changing the genders of the kids so at one point it was twins boys then it changed to girls and back to boys the rest of the way. They kept getting the characters mixed up to the point where you couldn’t tell who did what and then one character’s personality did a 180. Honestly it wasn’t worth it.

3/5Short Stories and Not For Everyone
The stories are short (like usually 15 chapters or less), dumb and mindless. It’s perfect for a busy person just wanting a quick read. Is $15 a week expensive? Yes, but I’ve also paid by the chapter for 1000+ chapter books before, so I’m not the best gauge for that. As for cancelling, you have to make sure you choose “Apple” and not anything else (like “PayPal”) when you first pay to have it show up on your Apple subscriptions page. Then it’s easy to cancel. Personally, I enjoy the really short, repetitive, and dumb stories. But it’s not for everyone.

1/5Difficult app to use, stories are inconsistent
First, the app is quite difficult to use even from getting to home page from any story. Then, the stories are very inconsistent. You would start off with one story, then it starts to take a turn into what seems like a completely different story. You get confused with what happens to the characters in the beginning, name changes, writing styles. I wouldn’t question it if it was just one story, but it’s many. It would start off great with a certain writing style, then changes into what seems like a copy and paste/taken from other authors with name changes type of story. The writing style becomes choppy, then you lose interest in the story. There are other apps with better stories and ease of use.

5/5Cancel subscription
You can cancel the subscription through the bank, or app you are using to pay. The website doesn’t allow cancellations. Once I canceled the payment in PayPal, the app allowed me to delete the account.
