1. 4/5Disappointed

   I have found some ok stories to read on the app but I think it’s crazy to spend so much money on a poorly written book when I can spend way less on a professionally published book. Another issue I have with this app is that my bonuses are disappearing. I had 43 bonuses and unlocked a chapter that was for 14 bonus points why do I now only have 14 bonuses remaining. This is not the first time that something like that has happened. I understand that I’m getting bonuses by completing different tasks, but that doesn’t mean take them away just because you can.

2. 3/5Great but can be improved

   The books on the app are very good and interest. The editing is fairly good compared to other apps. Mistakes are always expected with novel writers and they usually only have a few in terms of word formatting. The chapters on the other hand are expensive. One of the most expensive apps I use. Most chapters I’ve come across are around 77-83 coins which is a lot when a basic con pack is 500. Most apps have avg of 20-30 coins a chapter. Which is affordable and keeps you reading. The functionality of the app works fine. The only issue I have is the check in. Half the time they don’t register even if I use it daily and try it at different times of the day. With the chapters being so expensive earning those daily free coins is essential. I think in my time of downloading the app I have yet to receiver anything more than 4 days before it locks up and doesn't allow the check in. And I use this app regularly among a few others.

3. 3/5What the heck

   I was enjoying the novel that I was reading and every day I would watch a total of nine ads to get my three free chapters. In addition to watching all the ads and doing everything I needed to to get my 200 additional coins. Last night, even though my money was tight I wanted to read at least that one more chapter so I spent the $.99 to buy 100 more coins so that I could read that one chapter because that’s all it was enough for before I went to bed. Today the app is not giving me one one add to watch let alone my nine for my three free chapters of the day it keeps in my ads to get my 200 free coins that I have to buy more coins so in other words I lost out majorly because I spent $.99 for one chapter. I’ve lost three chapters every day. Until I finish this chapter book and that’s if I decide to continue with it because I don’t like being forced to buying something.

4. 2/5Getting too costly for the quality of writing

   I started reading a book, My Killing President. I was very intrigued as it seemed interesting. After about 25 chapters you needed to read using coins. You earn coins daily by logging in but the amount you c an earn daily is not enough to read more than a chapter a day. This book has 652 chapters. I caved at some point and purchased some coins. The prices of the coins seemed reasonable, but as the chapters progressed they acquired more and more coins. A few chapters were 48-50 coins for 30 pages. That is way too much for a book that would cost no more than $20 in a book store. I really hope the creators of the app consider giving the reader more opportunities to earn free coins. Instead of daily their should be some hourly rewards. Otherwise at this rate I’ll finish the book in over 2 years - sounds insane but do the math. Also I think the books need to be reviewed before being put on the app. Although I am enjoying the book, I must admit that there are parts that I need to reread because it seems as if it was written in another language and then google translated it to English. I think there are way too many typos and insensitive language that should be reviewed first. Hence why I can’t bring myself to purchase more coins for writing that needs more work. I think the book has potential but it is not edited at all. In order to keep readers there needs to be more ways to acquire free coins or lower the price of the coins tremendously. Even the membership rate is too much and offers far too little coins. Think about the ratio of coins per chapter and look at what the membership offers. You’d still be reading a few chapters a week. This has potential but the coins and lack of editing is why I have it 2 stars.

5. 1/5Disappointed do NOT recommend

   The way the company of this app is run is unrealistic you can only get a few coins a day and some chapter cost up to 121 coins and it is impossible to move on to the next chapter of the book because of the app will make you pay if you want to still read the book it is really said that the app was so poorly designed that you can not earn any coins barely by watching ads or something so buying coins is your only option and charging $20 for only being able to get through a few chapters is crazy you can buy a real published book for $20 I got this app for me to be able to read and have it be cheaper their are still some word mess ups in some of these books and parts that don’t make sense this is a scam that is only looking for your money
