Radish Fiction for Negative User Reviews

✓ Keeps charging me for nothing!This app has charged me coin purchases when I did not buy any! I had even removed the app from my phone. It is such a hassle to go through the refund process because of their inaccurate charges! Not a secure app!.DkundunVersion: 3.15.1

✓ Billionaire somethng or otherGive option to purchase fullstory, waiting is absolutely a stupid idea. Will finish reading this book eventually, but will delete app when finished. Chapters are way to short and i read 4-5 books a week, so waiting is frustrating to say the least. Take note support crew, you will lose long term! Story so far ok.Ann&@$Version: 3.6.0

✓ App Doesn’t LoadApp doesn’t load properly, met with the radish pink screen upon opening the app..Chip 'n' DaleVersion: 3.12.0

✓ Stories are good but the “rewards” is a scamThe stories I have read are well written and there is a nice selection of genres etc. However the coins and rewards system is a scam. I have tried multiple times and it either pushes for the one story or it says “better luck next time”. Which I do understand and maybe it’s not an intentional glitch but it is definitely a deterrent for me to continue to find stories to read or buy more coins to do so..Micko89Version: 3.13.2

✓ Earning coinsI love the app but I'd love it even more if somehow I could earn coins rather than purchasing them!.JadeseyVersion: 1.1

✓ Overall greedy!The app itself is really great and all works well, no bugs or issues when reading BUT you’ll be lucky to even get half way through a book! You have to use coins each chapter/ page but there’s no way to get these coins other than one “prize draw” a day where I’ve personally only ever won ONE coin a day….and that’s your luck! (Most chapters are three coins each or more - so basically takes you THREE DAYS to be able to carry on your book)The rest you have to pay for. No videos for coins, no other way of trying to get these coins - not that it’s actually necessary to pay for each chapter a time - so if you like spending a year or longer to try finish your book this is for you! If you like to actually read and get stuck in a book…good luck🙄.Coles2000Version: 3.24.0

✓ Crooked company and just a never-ending written soap operaNot only does this “book” have no indication of ever coming to a conclusion, just like a soap opera, but the app will not allow you to use your “coins” to buy an episode, even if you have enough. If you need 3 coins to buy an episode instead of waiting, and you have 6, you should be able to spend 3 and read on. Oh no, not only would it not let me read then, but when I purchased 25 more “coins” it still wouldn’t let me read the next “episode”, but put me right back into the same vicious cycle of trying to make me buy more coins. I should be able to spend 3 coins out of 31 to read on. This is ridiculous. I will definitely delete this app when I either finish this “book” or get completely tired of the storyline. Do not recommend..WisgirlVAVersion: 3.19.0

✓ OfflineI really like this app however I think there should be a limit on the time you have to wait and you should think about being able to read offline or downloading a couple books/chapters at a time..Piggypower💖🐷Version: 4.3.2

✓ Could be betterI really feel compelled to write a review on this app. I was really excited when I got it and was waiting patiently for the 3 hours to go by so I can read another episode. I did end up reading a story that I didn’t have to wait, so that was nice, but most of them you have to wait or spend coins. I’ve also purchased coins to advance in one of the stories faster, but at the end of the day it’s really not worth it. I can purchase whole books that I can read right away for $3.99...the same price that gives you only a few episodes before you have to wait again. Also, one of the books I’m reading has shortened their episodes and it has something like 400 episodes (I’m on ep. 100 maybe)...at this rate I might finish it by next year!! In all it’s good if you can read the whole story right away, but really not worth it...they just want to make you buy coins..RomanaVersion: 2.36.0

✓ Worst story to read: Torn Between AlphasThis story started off to be a really good read, which happened to be Season 1, but now sadly & most unfortunate its storyline is now a horrible read. The new writer or writers are not being true the original writer. This novel is all over the place & just keeps sending in back & forth & around in circles, absolutely going away from what the purpose of the title is. I don’t know how to explain it, it’s as if they just keep listening to the fans who write the most comments & come up with chapters based off what the fans had written of how they would like the next chapters to be & on top of that this story seems to might never have an ENDING!!! I feel I have cheated, manipulated & robbed of my foolishness to purchase coins to continue reading this story. Wish Radish would take this story off. Don’t start or continue to read this story..??@20Version: 3.31.2

✓ New Update Won’t Load + Coin ExpirationI have no problem paying for books, but if I pay for something, I don’t want it to expire. Also it’s impossible to change my coin subscription within the app. I have to go through my apps app and it’s much too complicated. Also the new update makes it so that Radish won’t load? Not sure if this is just a network error, but it’s never happened before today. I’d like to be able to use my coins before they expire please. 🙄 The only reason there’s three stars instead of two is because of the quality of content. Most of the stuff is good, but there’s a few books marked as historical fiction but are heavily inaccurate (as a history nerd I am not willing to sacrifice someone calling a person “dude” in the 1800s or someone claiming to be a suffragette decades before the name was coined just because of the plot). Another thing to add is that the chapters cost 3 coins each, which doesn’t really make any sense? It annoys me, they should make it 2. You have to buy coins in increments that are not multiples of 3? It’s dumb. The app developers seem to be focusing more on money than providing a good service..Mrs.WorldwideVersion: 2.2.1

✓ Can’t get onI was happy till this week went to read a book it wanted my email address to protect my book now it won’t go any where just states already have this email address won’t let me on my I pads but let’s me on on my phone what’s going on.JarvmaVersion: 3.26.0

✓ Makes me lose interest in a book quickerThe fact that you either have to pay with coin or wait for a few hours makes this app really boring. I’m just going to stick to wattpad, now I see why radish isn’t as popular as wattpad. Imagine waiting about 24 hours to watch ads for just TWO chapters everyday. I’m not the patient type! After I finish reading this book that was originally off wattpad, I’m going to delete this app. People if you’re reading this, stick to wattpad trust me on this. Wattpad is less time consuming.ERICATOEISVersion: 3.10.1

✓ Stories are okStories are ok. Only read a few pages so far, but what is really annoying is that you can only read 1 page every day. Unless you buy coins of course. There’s no option to watch a video to speed it up, or even get 1 chapter for free. I will be reading the rest of this story (will take around 150 days to finish it) and then I will be deleting the app unless there is a way I can read it quicker..MissBee1986Version: 2.13.0

✓ Better than most reading apps.Books are good. Wait for the books are fair. - I will wait weeks-months on fanfiction sites. Highest wait I have so far is a WEBTOON for 1 Day and a couple hours. Most books are 1-2 hour waits. Some books you can knock it down to 10mins with an ad however you only get 4 a day. However in the later chapters you need to buy the chapters with coins. Which in the long run is fair. However I don’t believe you get enough coins from ads as you only get 1 coin from an ad and 4 ads a day. So 1 chapter a day with a coin left over. You can do surveys or buy things in real life… and win coins this way, however you may not feel comfortable doing so. Now the true reason my stars knocked down so far is that after I had finished a book. You can archive it so you can find it later to read. However a day later I went back to read it again and now I have to do it all over again, with a guarantee that I will have to spend at least 10 coins (that was the discounted price for 5 chapters) for the the last few chapters. I would rather go buy the book on a normal book app like kindle or a hard cover. I would recommend using this app for books you want to buy and you know you will read again. But not for continued re reads. I believe the app should allow you at least a couple months (even just a month) before it resets the books if they are going to reset them..WolfsKnightVersion: 4.12.0

✓ Don’t fall for itSimilar to a lot of people, I started reading ‘Torn between Alphas’ looking forward to a complete and succinct story. I’ve been disappointed to say the least that after 3 years this story is still no where near finished and doesn’t look to be ending anytime soon either. I understand the author is after that coin...but dragging out a plot without any real direction, character growth or general plot is infuriating to say the least. I feel annoyingly invested now but I implore you to not bother if you’re considering.Laylabattern95Version: 3.0.1

✓ It’s goodIt’s good and I like it but it updates so much and you can’t use anything but the latest update which is annoying and means people with older phones wouldn’t be able to use it..Bumzy WumzyVersion: 2.2.4

✓ I stopped at chapter 30I’m an avid reader, I wanted to try this app even paid 9$ to get the book faster. You have to wait 3 hours every 5 minutes of reading to get one chapter for free. It doesn’t cumulate. If you think that while you sleep you’ll wake up to say 3 chapters if you have a good long night... correct yourself you just get 1 chapter of 5 minutes reading then wait 3 hours again. I’m sorry for the new authors who thought it was a way to get your book out there, the times when you bought a blockbuster for 60$ is way gone. Yes you can buy coins to get your chapters faster it costs 9$ for 200 chapters one book has more than 450 chapters. So I’m not able to give a positive review to this app. If and when they get a better way of letting people read I’ll get back and give a good review. The developer needs to read the comments on their app and find a way to give the people what they want 1374 hours to read a book that’s way too much. You have a good product just make it work better..ZoarannVersion: 2.36.0

✓ Cost and QualityThe cost to read a book is beyond ridiculous. I’ll finish reading this one and then I’m done. I could of bought 10 books by now with the cost I’ve paid. The author writes the shortest chapters I’ve ever seen and has lost all credibility with her continued filler chapters which don’t add value to the story. Let’s hope this is over soon so I can get back to reading actual books where there’s a defined storyline.FgyjjkkkkVersion: 3.8.0

✓ Hit or MissMost of the storylines I’ve read are great. Some are incredible! Some of the stories are great, but DESPERATELY need to be edited for spelling and grammar. Only a few I’ve read are ridiculously shallow and superfluous. One was particularly tragic; the grammar, spelling, and syntax distracted from an otherwise incredible storyline. My recommendation is to require that each story be edited by an admin (with a decent education, preferably) before it can be posted. Also, having to stop mid-story because the rest is only available by purchase is extremely annoying, and it has caused me to abandon a story more than once. I get that that’s how you make your money, but maybe have other ways to earn coins. Heck, I’ll watch three 30-second ads for the next chapter any day! Also, I’ve recently had issues with the app not allowing me to continue to the chapter, despite having met the waiting requirement. There’s no error message, just simply won’t go the the next page, and if I continue trying, even after a few seconds, it ends up freezing the app, so that I have to restart it. It’s only on one or two stories, though, and the rest are fine. So bizarre..MommyKyLieraVersion: 3.1.0

✓ A scam!After paying for coins on Radish, they had still not appeared on my account a week later. I then emailed support, receiving an automated reply saying a response would come in 5-7 business days. Now, nearly a month later, I have still not received an email reply from customer service, nor have the coins appeared on my account. Although the stories and authors on the app are good, the payment system is broken and the customer service is nonexistent..Kyyang1Version: 2.1.1

✓ No coins received and no app supportI had to give 1 star in order to write this review. For over a week now I have been doing the daily challenges to receive free coins and the message comes up saying I have been awarded the coins but they never appear yet on the usage history it says they have been awarded but I doubt get them. App support is non existent the stories used to be good but now like the one I’m currently reading it’s so long. It’s never ending. The first book had 37 chapters but the next one we are almost if not already at 140 chapters with no end in sight. The chapters themselves some are so short it’s not worth paying 3 coins for them. And as for the daily 6 card shuffle thing that’s terrible. I always get 1 coin or a free chapter to a book I’m not even reading. You need to sort this out! It’s so infuriating. I’m close to giving up..Bexx!!!Version: 4.5.2

✓ The app won’t give the free episodes it promisesI really didn’t want to leave a bad review and I have tried resolving the issue with customer service, however we’ve just been going around In circles trying to resolve my issue. I don’t mind paying for stories and some of the stories are quite good. However, the stories advertise when you read three episodes you will unlock a free episode. These free episodes, are never available. I have been back and forth with customer service (which by the way was very difficult to find a contact for) only to be told I basically don’t understand how free episodes work. I have even sent them screenshots showing how the title page clearly states the free episodes are available but when I tried to access them the app still asks for payment. The response I got was that I purchased the episode before it was available. How is it before it was available when it states “your free episode is now ready” and has an unlocked lock? Anyway the app is good even if it is a little expensive to read stories. I was really hoping a free episode every third episode would help to balance out the cost of the stories. So if you don’t mind being told you get an episode for free and then never get it the app is good and most of the authors are good but if it will frustrate you to not get the discount you are told you’ll get, then stay away. Unfortunately I am invested in four stories, at the moment, but I am not starting any new ones. 😢.CrunutVersion: 2.9.0

✓ Meh....I downloaded this because I have a guilty pleasure of reading some romance novels. However, these are extremely cheesy, not realistic, and aren’t properly edited. I find grammatical errors a lot and while it doesn’t completely take away from the story it does bug me. Another thing I actually hate, like really really hate is the fact that in order to advance to the next chapter you either have to wait until 24 hours or have enough coins. Not a huge deal until I realized that your time doesn’t start ticking until you actually OPEN the chapter (really?!). You have to buy coins. I’m not paying $4 A WEEK so I can get still limited access to stories when I only have to pay $10 a month for access to thousands of high quality ENTIRE books on kindle. I only picked this because at first I liked the idea and thought this would support smaller authors and I don’t get that jive at all. It’s just another way to swindle money out of readers and honestly the content is lame and not diverse at all..Bridge with a TVersion: 2.28.0

✓ Waste of money and not good for your mental well-beingDon’t bother wasting your money and don’t bother reading the reviews as they have filtered them to make it score higher. I wrote a review months ago which was on here but has since been removed (it was honest but not offensive. I have since tried to write two more reviews, neither of which has been added! Story chapters are too short, stories that were once great are serialised and ruined (I feel for the authors) and certain Stories have ALOT of toxicity in their comments and chats section which Radish do nothing about. Bully’s are allowed to mass report comments they don’t like and Radish remove them without reviewing them and ban paying users without reason but let the bully’s continue to post abusive, offensive and r@pe supporting comments! I’m actually convinced that radish has now employed some of these toxic people as their writers. I’d liked to be convinced otherwise but no matter how many times they email you to say they do not take sides, the proof is in the pudding!! Steer well clear if you want to keep your mental well-being..Meemo1Version: 3.26.0

✓ FrustratingThe wait is way to long for the next chapter. Plus the cost to get coins, makes it way to expensive. They should have a option to buy the book..NinaMarie51Version: 2.25.1

✓ Most recent update ruined the appI’ve been a monthly paying subscriber for a couple of years and have been happy with the app but over the last couple of months Radish has changed for the worse. You’ve taken away most opportunities to earn extra coins. I loved Free Story Friday, the daily earn 3 coins for 3 chapters and the weekend Lucky Draw reading challenge where you read 20 chapters and can earn up to 60 coins. All of these coin opportunities were removed and it’s really frustrating. Even the coupons for stories that were offered on Monday’s and Thursday’s are gone and replaced with the weekly TBR list which is a bunch of old stories Radish has been pushing for a while and that I’ve already read. There are so many great authors and stories on Radish but if the app stays this way, there are plenty of other reading apps where I can spend my money and support those authors. Stop cheaping out on your readers!.Lina HGVersion: 4.13.2

✓ Too expensive to finishLove the stories, but it takes too long to unlock a new chapter. I’d rather buy a book than buy every chapter of it, or wait half a day..Rhyin05Version: 2.29.0

✓ UpdateI understand that Apps need updating & stuff, however the new update is awful! It keeps freezing opening stories & I now can’t fully read the bio of the story fully cause that function is no longer there. Plus the new season section of the books is so confusing. I do love reading the books but can some changes be made. Cause before this update I had no trouble..TraupleVersion: 3.0.1

✓ Too expensive and time consuming. Stories greatI love torn between alpha. Still reading it! Thankfully it’s only an hour wait between chapters..... still that’s too long! Some are 24hours waits. If you don’t unlock the chapter once the hour wait is up it won’t count down another hour to unlock the next page, it waits until you’ve unlocked the chapter before it’ll consider the next chapter. In Dreame app it stacks up so if you wait a week on dreame you’ve got plenty of unlocked chapters and saves frustration of waiting hourly to read another chapter. The coins are expensive £3.99 for 27 coins which is 9 chapters. Sometimes the chapter feels small compared to other chapters. You might get to unlock 3 coins for free once a day. If you could pay £10-15 for the book I’d happily do that. So far I’ve spent £20-24 roughly to read extra chapters. I’m sure from start to today’s update I could easily spend £200 to read all the chapters and get upto date. Some books you need to buy coins to read pay 8-50chapters 5stars for the stories 1 star for the app. If you made it cheaper for coins so we aren’t spending a fortune I’ll happily change my review to five stars. It costs too much to indulge in reading :/ and possibly wait time 10-20mins? It’s dire waiting an hour or even longer on other books.Carberet123Version: 2.31.0

✓ Books series free after 1 hour, except the last book!!So this series I’m reading gave me a free chapter after every hour. But in the last book in the series, you have to pay with coins. First off, that is stupid to get ride of the free hour. Second of all, how am I supposed to earn these coins if your videos never “have anything available” to watch for the coin? I loved this app, but after I realized I have to pay for the last book, it’s kind of crap. I gladly spent coins when I didn’t want to wait the hour, so it’s not like you wouldn’t make anything. If all your books are like this, this is the last book I’ll read (I have to finish the story), and then I’m going to delete the app..Jessynicole89Version: 3.20.3

✓ Not as good as WattpadI recently stopped reading Wattpad as I wanted to move to another app. This one is disappointing as you have to be spending money to be unlocking chapters. If you don’t want to do that then you’ll have to wait one hour to open a chapter for free. The thing I hate about this is that you actually have to click on next chapter for the one hour to be activated. So for example if you only go it once for the day you will only be getting once chapter unlocked. It’s ridiculous and I’m thinking of going back to Wattpad..Werewolf mateVersion: 3.26.0

✓ Very frustrating!!Total rip off - each chapter is about 2 minutes long - then you have an hours wait until the next one unlocks - or you can buy coins, each chapter cost 3 coins, it’s £3.99 for 25 and so on. Because the chapters are split into about 4 paragraphs each one - it creates the book to have more than 300 chapters!! Therefore unless you wait an hour in between chapters to read for free - you will easily end up spending around £100 just to finish the book - it’s total madness. Such a shame because the book I started is fab, I’m hooked but will not spend anymore money. So I’m only reading around 3 chapters a day with all the waiting In-between. Seriously frustrating..LucyclairetVersion: 3.12.1

✓ Too expensiveHey! First off let me say this app is great I love the books I’m reading 7 different ones at the same time. What’s not so great about this app is having to pay for chapters, or having to wait for the next chapter to be released. I’ve spent well over $100 in the last 3 weeks on this app and not that it isn’t worth it, but I feel like I’m being milked out of my money. No matter how many coins I purchase I’ve only received 6 free coins which was when I first downloaded the app. If I’m gonna be spending on this app the least you could do is offer some gifts now and then, ones that aren’t connected to another book! I’m torn about this app because I’m stuck at so many interesting parts of all the books I’m reading because of either coins or chapters being released once a day😤very frustrating. Please come up with a way to give back to us readers that come to the app everyday, read books and interact with the live chats!.Zipjones2Version: 2.24.0

✓ Upset with all of the changesI love the app but I’m upset that you’ve not only stopped ‘free story Friday’ and ‘read to win weekends’ but the ‘daily reads’. They were the ways that I was finding new stories and now I’m finding the app quite flat as it just keeps recommending the most popular ones, which I’ve either already read or dislike so stopped. I just feel your shooting yourself in the foot, as I know that I’ve found myself going to different apps for new stories..Nick Of The NorthVersion: 4.13.2

✓ SCAM!I purchased coins to continue reading chapters but once I made the purchase I keep getting an error message “Oops! Something is wrong, try again later”. I even deleted my app and reinstalled it to see if it would work and nothing is happening. So disappointed..Maelle GraceVersion: 3.10.1

✓ ErrorDoes not let me login or sign up.EmizoniaVersion: 1.23.11

✓ Rip offAs others have said before, this app is ridiculously expensive. The “chapters” take a minute to read and then you have to wait an hour for the next to arrive. You are constantly having to go back every hour to start the next hours countdown as they don’t build up. The options to gain free coins is extremely limited which often means you are left with no choice but to purchase additional coins if you want to spend more than 2 minutes per hour reading (or read multiple stories at once). Each chapter takes 3 coins each to unlock. Of course, as the chapters are so small, you end up burning through your purchased coins within minutes also. Whilst this isn’t entirely the apps fault, I suspect these “Authors” are ultimately deciding how long each chapter should be, the cost to read their stories are coming in much higher than if you were to purchase a printed book outright. As such, I’ve now deleted the app and will do just that..00612-Dean13Version: 3.10.1

✓ Good butI almost finished reading a book and now the app won’t work. It tries opening and just closes. I’ve restarted my phone, tried everything and it just doesn’t work. Im getting a new phone and now I won’t be able to transfer all the data to that so I’ll have to start over again? It took me AGES to reach the end of a few stories! Actually disappointed.Spongeboblove121030Version: 3.20.3

✓ EhhhI like this app but they just added a new feature where your coins expire if you don’t use them in a specific time which I think is just incredibly unfair. I only read one story on this app (because that’s all I can really afford to read) that i’m addicted to but the story isn’t complete, so if the author doesn’t update in time to use my coins then will I just lose all of my coins I PAID to have (and the coins only last 10 days!)? I know that this only applies for promotional things, but I bought my coins with the promotional thing BEFORE they announced this but it still applies to me?? AND now almost every single coin package you can buy is discounted so that means it’s promotional so you literally can’t have coins without them expiring. This update is just for the money, as if they don’t get enough already. I like the stories on this app, but the whole coin system in general makes me just want to stop using Radish all together..Boz in MilwaukeeVersion: 1.36.3

✓ Complete rip offThe stories are actually really good, what’s not so good is the fact that you would easily pay £30 upwards for the stories because the chapters are so short and the coins are so expensive! Or you can wait for a new chapter to be released every 3 hours, there’s no point in doing that when the chapters are so short they only take a couple of minutes to read. I won’t be buying anymore coins or using this app until you can buy the full stories for less than £30!! Really disappointed! Listen to all your reviews everyone is saying the same!.Oh8Version: 2.33.0

✓ Good app but long wait timesI really like all the stories I’ve read so far but the wait times in between unlocking the next episode is too long. I don’t mind paying sometimes but the cost of one book would become extortionate if paying to unlock all the episode. It’s a shame there is no option to watch ads to reduce the wait times. I’ve given it 3 stars to reflect...but the content is good..Nmaz4Version: 2.25.1

✓ Where are the coins???I’ve read multiple stories included in the daily challenges and never received the promised coins, there is a glitch in your system somewhere! Stories are great! Would be better if someone proofread or edited them before release..TRose29Version: 3.15.1

✓ I love the radish storiesI bought a whole years worth of radish coins that refill every month. I get 265 coins in the evening of the 16 th of every month. So at the end of the month I’m rationing my coins so I don’t miss my favorite stories that update weekly or sporadically. If I judge it wrong then I lose some coins. Because the monthly number is 265, I always have a coin left over. Since people pay for the coins it would be worth letting last months coins overlap this months coins so I never lose any. Also I’ve read so many stories that are all mixed up. I wish you would set it up so I had folders to move my stories to (like): reading, waiting for updates, completed, started and never want to open again, etc. this would be a 5 star app if it was about content alone. I’m hooked. But I don’t think I’ll renew because of my frustrations..J N MillerVersion: 2.2.1

✓ StupidTakes way too long to read a book. With 800+ “chapters” and your only allowed three free a day it will take months to read and I would lose interest. Deleted the app after one day. Don’t even waste your time..Nikki19925Version: 3.8.2

✓ DisappointingI think that this app should not charge people such large fees to read books that would cost a fraction of the cost in a real book store. With how short most of the chapters are, it is ridiculous to have to wait 24 hours to have to read another equally short chapter. I enjoy reading these stories but it is starting to get annoying that i can’t simply read the book the entire way through. Personally I have used and still sometimes use a different reading app which I sometimes enjoy more because only a few of the stories cost coins and also the other app gives you the ability to leave comments which I enjoy reading because it allows you to know what other readers think. For example while reading a romance where the main character has two people chasing after them it is interesting seeing who people think is right. Even with the ability to receive 3 free coins each day which is enough to read one short chapter of only one of the books I am reading. That leads me to the fact that 3 is an odd number and i don’t understand why it can’t be 2 coins per chapter especially when the packs you buy are not even multiples of three. It is obvious the owners are more interested in putting extra cash in their pocket then giving the customer the experience the want and deserve. The only reason it isn’t a one star review is because there still seems to be good stories on the app..1843743642653Version: 2.31.0

✓ Ridiculous Wait Times and PricesI originally found this app via an ad and thought it looked very promising. While there are some gems among the stories, the wait times which range from 1hr to 3hrs to 24hrs just to unlock 1 chapter, don’t stack and the timer begins again once you open the new chapter. Chapters aren’t usually very long, usually only taking 3-5 min to read and there can be be more than 200 chapters for one story. You can alway use coins to open chapters right away, but at 3 coins/chapter and $1.39 for 6 coins being the most “inexpensive” option, it’s not really worth it. Unless you want to pay $12.99 for only 200 coins/month or $34.99 for 270 coins. The stories are the only reason why I’m not giving a 1 star review. But you’d be better off finding a more inexpensive app that won’t try to gouge readers for money..LunyxaVersion: 3.14.0

✓ Okay as a reading appThe wait time between chapter is 1hr for most stories and that is fine with me. I found some amazing authors and stories on the app. The option to buy the book without waiting should be available. The daily lucky draw is rigged as you only land on 1 coin or the 1 chapter for a story..Soundless_echoesVersion: 3.31.0

✓ Are you crazy!!!There are thousands of cheap well written novels on the internet and in book form. Sci-fi, werewolves, vampires, romance, supernatural, literature, thriller, fantasy; there are more books in the world, than any one person could possibly read in one lifetime. WHY you would subject yourself to this extremely overpriced frustrating app is beyond me!!! A complete and utter rip off for customers and authors..Em88;)Version: 2.27.0

✓ Update bitesSince the update (overnight) the books I was reading have gone back to the beginning when I tried the drop down menu it didn’t work (I do however like this option, the ability to refresh my memory without scrolling) my coins from the challenge are not appearing and you’ve removed Paranormal Academy this bites, fix the issues.Marg dmVersion: 3.0.1

✓ Rip off don’t botherThe cost of reading any of these stories is ridiculous unless you are happy to only read one chapter every hour, don’t know about you but that’s not how I read a book. So to pay for chapters a book is costing me upwards of $40. There are way cheaper reading apps out there, particularly considering some of these stories don’t even appear to be edited. Don’t waste your time.Done3678Version: 3.17.0

✓ Highly upsetAbout a month ago my app automatically updated itself and once it finished the app was unable to load properly. Therefore I had decided to delete the app and redowload it and see if that’d fix the issue. Issue was however, I got locked out of my account and then was told my account didn’t exist (looked it up by the only two emails I have) and somehow I accidentally ended up making a whole new account altogether. I’ve spent easily over a hundred or more dollars on this app the buy coins and unlock chapters of many beloved series only to lose it all!! Despite this, I wasn’t completely discouraged, I had decided to contact support and they never got back to me or addressed my issue like they had claimed they would within one business week.... absolutely fantastic authors and contact but customer service and support/help are unreliable... Use at your own risk and don’t spend money if you don’t want to take the gamble of losing it all for nothing... I still had close to 300 coins that I hadn’t gotten to use yet....Christina BowmanVersion: 2.4.0

✓ Drowning money without authorizationI bought coins several times to read and they took extra money from me They charged me the first time for 155 coins and it was not added to my account and i thought maybe by mistake but again i recived another notification stating i bought coins also 155 coins and they withdraw money from my card and coins where not added to my account So i had to delete the app because they tricking people so please be careful.Palestinan girlVersion: 3.22.0

✓ Too Much Waiting Ruins the Story!This app has a "wait to read" format that completely ruins the reading experience. Without exaggeration, every single comment on the app features a complaint about the waiting period between each episode. You read one chapter and then you either wait one hour for the next chapter to become "free" or you buy coins to read the chapters continuously. It will cost you 3 coins to read EACH chapter without waiting. You can buy 6 coins for $.99 or $9.99 for 100 coins. The chapters are extremely short....and take only between 5 and 10 minutes to read, AND there are about 72 of them! By the time you have finish reading, you have paid well over $20 for a story that is nowhere near book-length and which is amateurishly written with a dire need for editing. Most readers are saying they're deleting the app as soon as they finish reading. I plan to do the same..BoRhap77Version: 3.12.1

✓ Rip OffFirst of all, the writing is just okay. Grammatical errors, changes in characters names from one chapter to the next. But the stories are still engaging. My problem is...I might spend $10-$15 on one of these books on a discount table at the book store. Yet the only way to stay engaged with the story and read multiple chapters at a time is to spend a minimum of $4 for 27 coins, which will allow me to read nine chapters of the book in one sitting. Otherwise you have to wait an hour between free chapters. I can read one of these chapters in less than 5 minutes and then have to wait 55 more minutes until I get the next chapter for free. There is no other way, that I am aware of, to earn coins. Perhaps you should offer advertisements, making yourself money, while allow the reader to stay engaged with the story. I am reading one story on this app because I cannot find it anywhere else and then I am finished...I will not be a repeat customer. And I will discourage others from giving the app a try..MartinKMVersion: 3.5.0

✓ DisappointingCoins expire😡 we pay for them they shouldn’t, especially when you have to wait for the next chapter. Started a story that goes nowhere and never ends. Ugh waste of time....BarnyardEst2003Version: 3.12.1

✓ Waste of moneySome of the writing is in a book-like form and, with unlocking a free episode every hour, you could potentially read a book for free or close to it. BUT the episodes are super-short and only take 5 minutes or less to read, so waiting means either not reading most of the time, or reading so many different stories at once that you get lost. Paying for coins to read is stupid because you’ll end up paying far more than you’d pay for an actual book. And some of these aren’t set up as books but as more of a written soap opera format, and frankly some of the writing just isn’t nearly good enough for me to want to follow it that long (some of these writers seriously need an editor). I had this app for maybe 3 days and I’ve deleted it. If you like poorly edited romance, Kindle Unlimited is way more economical at a flat monthly price, and you can have 10 books out at any given time..Luv2cats72Version: 3.10.1

✓ Half a starI was so excited when I first discovered Radish. I could even handle waiting 3 hours for a page. You cannot justify calling them chapters. They are NOT chapters, barely even an episode. Have found, strike that. Have “started” many books that I have been really enjoying only to be told you can only access the last however many chapters with coins. Most of them I just gave up on, not committed to spending coins on what I know is going to be the ending. The ONE I’ve really been enjoying and was going to cough up some money on is going to cost me $15. That is unless I get my 3 free coins a day from the coin challenge and then I‘ll be able to finish the book in a month, as there are no opportunities to earn more than 3 coins a day. In a nutshell if you like reading (& finishing) a book, either go online and download or go to a shop/library. At least then you’ll get to read the ending. I’m ready to delete the app. Could be so much better than it is..Stackhouse loverVersion: 2.35.1

✓ It is pretty good but it glitches and it’s tooo long of a waitWhen I tried to go on the story I was reading, I clicked on it and it brought the stories next episode. I was supposed to get chapter sixty five but instead I got sixty six and had to wait 3 frickin’ hours for the chapter I was supposed to get. It takes soooo long to get the next episode. And it gets really boring waiting for it..Hafsa02Version: 3.31.0

✓ Stories does not loadAfter downloading the app the stories doesn’t show. Kept on trying and refreshing the page but the stories don’t show. Day 5 of reloading the app and still the stories don’t show.Tullips09Version: 3.12.0

✓ The stories are GREAT, but you can NEVER fully enjoy without PAYING moneyI am actually HOOKED on the story I am reading from this app. Unfortunately this app can not take the place of reading an actual book where you can read for several hours at a time or even before bed. I have literally have spent already $50 in coins trying to read a the first half of a story and I am sorry, but that’s RIDICULOUS!!!! You have the ability to gain 3 free coins every 3 hours, but that will only unlock 1 episode that only takes you 3 minutes to read. The whole stop and go thing kills you!! I literally have to take a break from reading a week at a time in order to gather as many coins as possible so I can actually enjoy what I am reading. BUT WAIT THERE IS MORE I can’t wait to long from reading because the COINS EXPIRE! At this rate I am going to finish the story and delete the app or I will get sick of this coin BS and forget the story, despite the story being so good. This app’s payment model is WAY TOO EXPENSIVE. Why pay so much when I could just buy an ebook for $4.99 and enjoy it just the same, without having to wait or pay a exorbitant amount of money..Aleja_ndraVersion: 2.36.0

✓ Just skip it!!!!I downloaded this app to read The Billionaire’s Surrogate and the first 10 “chapters” which are meant to get you hooked on the story are super short and not truly chapters like in other books. Then, you either have to wait for an hour for another “chapter” to open so you could literally read it in 3 minutes or less. Or you have to purchase these expensive coins to open up the next “chapters” to continue with the story. It takes 3 coins to open a chapter. This book has over 400 chapters. Do the math and you’ll see it’s not really worth it. Just skip it!!!! I would recommend for this app to either let the readers just buy the book outright or at least allow the user to see an ad to open the next chapter and for the chapters to be at least 3 or so. Otherwise, you start losing interest in all of it. This is why I say just skip it!!!.Avidreader206Version: 3.6.0

✓ Dont fix what isnt brokenAfter the annoying inconvenience of not being able to access the app for most of the day two days ago im not opening and closing the app up to 10x per story to load a chapter, it is so glitchy and horrible. Whatever “maintenance” you did, undo it. How you expect to charge your ridiculous amounts to read a book when we cant even open a chapter?!.Brezza94Version: 3.0.3

✓ Waiting hours to read.You have to wait for the stories. Just go and a buy a book. You wait 5 hours to read 1 page of a story. Sometimes 12 hours. It’s irritating unless you buy coins. And it’s 3 coins per page. Not worth it. I deleted it. The stories on there seem good, but at this rate you won’t get to the end of one story. Might basically take you a whole year at this rate. Pointless..AyxmxdeVersion: 2.30.0

✓ Cancelled my subscription but still get chargedStill getting charged even though I cancelled 3 weeks ago.CGY2012Version: 3.31.2

✓ Not handicap,Reading disability user friendly! English Only!Not user friendly for MILLIONS of people. First & foremost the fact that these developers have not thought nor taken a person being BLIND into account is extremely sad. BLIND people don’t read? That is one of the absolute offensive oversights. This APP has absolutely no option for audio/audiobook for the millions of people out there who have with disabilities. Not only being blind also reading disabilities, i.e. developmental dyslexia, alexia, hyperlexia, word reading accuracy, reading comprehension, reading fluency. As this last one is NOT a handicap, your readers who do not speak ENGLISH do not have any options which is a very reasonable accommodation. This app is neglecting to speak/read in your customers ‘mother tongues.’ Not handicap friendly software on any way shape or form. All of the above (I'm sure there are many others I may have missed to list) are absolute offensive oversights, & I’m shocked that in the year of 2022 a developer has not taken any of these things into account, very unfortunate and sad..Nichold JVersion: 3.30.0

✓ Not even 1 starIf you subscribe like I did, then make sure you use your coins. Been reading for months and not been able to for the last couple of weeks. Subscription renewed today and I’ve gone to check my balance and 141 coins have been removed from my account! Why put an expiration on something I’m paying money for! Won’t be subscribing any longer..Lil_Miss_Kitty_KatVersion: 3.20.3

✓ Radish app won’t openThis app keeps crashing not sure why.PokofutuVersion: 3.7.0

✓ Help!App keeps crashing!.Lia(-: xoVersion: 1.8

✓ Nice, but needs more workThis app is fun, however if you want to read anything for very long I suggest you look for the ones that are “completely free” because the ones that are behind a paywall are expensive if there’s very many chapters. Sometimes the chapters are very short and I wish they’d set some sort of word limit authors had to reach before posting. The coins expire too fast, and the daily chance doesn’t seem fair at all. No matter where I click I only get the one coin option. I normally click on the same spot and the other chance cards are always in the same place. It seems, as others have suggested, made so that chances are very low of getting a high prize..SweetAfflictionVersion: 3.19.0

✓ Do not download!The app works mostly okay but the service itself is abhorrent. They don’t vet authors and books don’t have to be complete - they suck you in to a story then drag it out for literally years to get your money. Radish is profit-driven, not customer-focussed. And don’t get me started on the daily lucky draw that only gives the same two prizes. Have asked around and nobody has ever gotten anything other than 1 free coin or 1 free chapter..RonnieBe3Version: 3.28.0

✓ Stay away from Serialized FictionI followed a story from another forum to this one. The story started out wonderfully until Radish ruined it with their serialized fiction. There is no end to the story and it has gone on for years with so many repeated storylines, plot holes, and terrible story telling. The story has strayed away completely from it’s original storyline and title. This also isn’t the only story this has happened to. I have seen them do it to another story that started off so well, they even continue to promote these two stories with just their first seasons written by the original writers because that’s when the story was still great. They also promote a toxic environment within the fan bases and then ignore reader’s concerns. I recommend books or series that are complete and stories where the writer is willing to interact with the readers. But do not bother with stories like Torn Between Alphas that fall in the serialized fiction category. It is a complete waste of your money..Jennsongbird716Version: 4.12.0

✓ Great stories but the comment section is a jokeI love the variety of stories available, and the serialised fiction is something new to me that is a great way to do some daily reading without having to commit much time. I will say though, I’ve noticed for a couple of books (In particular Torn Between Alphas) that the comment section is out of control with offensive comments aimed at the writers and other readers. It’s very discouraging to see and has put me off leaving my own thoughts as well as joining the live chat which is a real shame! Hopefully it can be monitored more carefully or removed all together because it’s very toxic. Please bear this is mind if you’re at all sensitive!!.AaalicexxxVersion: 3.7.0

✓ Expensive and tediously waitingI like the Billionaire’s surrogate but waiting for a new chapter ever 3 hrs is just ridiculous. The story gets longer and longer and the chapters get shorter- a chapter of a book shouldn’t take 4 minutes to read. The cost of getting new chapters without the wait is far too high. I have deleted the app. I would rather go back to my Kindle App, at least I am not restricted on how many chapters I read in 1 go..Biggles-wigglesVersion: 2.33.0

✓ TerribleThis is the dumbest app ever! I was reading a book on Wattpad that’s sequel was posted on here. I want to be able to just read my book and be done. What’s the point of waiting 3 hours for a 5 minute chapter??? Aren’t these apps meant to provide cheap, easy to access stories for book lovers? Absolute rip off.KaceybullerVersion: 2.35.0

✓ Coins?!Help me understand the purpose of coins. I purchased coins to bypass having to wait an hour to read the next episode, but once I finished the episode, I am asked to purchase even more coins despite having more than enough coins to finish ALL of the episodes. Am I missing something?! Because it feels like I’m being ripped off..The Children of EarthVersion: 3.14.0

✓ What a Shame!Don’t bother downloading this app - I was really excited when I first downloaded this app. I started reading The Billionaire’s Surrogate which so far is incredible. However the fact that the reader has to wait 3 hours before they are able to read each chapter (which the average reader can finish in less than 10 minutes) is disgusting! How are we supposed to lose ourself in a book if we can only read small segments at a time? Readers are given the option to pay extortionate prices to receive coins to unlock chapters but it is so expensive! As a reader I would much rather be charged £20 and be able to read the full book than have to pay £4 every day for coins !! I have no idea why writers would choose to publish their hard work on this platform, as it is impossible for readers to enjoy it the way the author intended..Emily568996528Version: 2.33.0

✓ Responsive but not helpfulI’m writing this after interacting with the Radish support team. They replied quickly with answers that addressed my concerns but did not positively resolve my issue. You must buy coins to read but this app is so unclear on how they work that I have wasted several on stories I’ll never read. I had to use trial and error at my own expense to learn this app will take my coins even if I don’t want to use them. I use these coins sparingly because these stories are exorbitantly expensive if you use coins instead of waiting for the next episode to unlock.I have left many stories unfinished because they weren’t worth the cost to read the ending. Many of these stories read like poorly composed texts with no editing for grammar, spelling, punctuation or syntax. Or even proper use of emojis. But I buy coins so I can finish a story that I’m really into. This app is also difficult to navigate especially using its search function. You can’t navigate to titles in the search results without losing the original search. There is no way to just go back to the previous page. I like this app better than others but I’m just so angry right now..Yolanda dog trainerVersion: 3.30.0

✓ Not happyThe instructions to use your site are pathetic . Firstly I purchased 106 coins 3 days ago and I am only NOW seeing them In my “ cart” or whatever you call it. I go to use them , but no it doesn’t work !!!!!! What the heck do I have to do to activate them so I can continue to read . You also don’t answer emails to SUPPORT. Please lift your game🤬.Ydnew333Version: 3.13.2

✓ The surrogateA good. Story at the beginning but it goes on an on an on and you have to pay by paying for coins I think I’ve payed nearly £40 and still no ending they’ve conned you by getting into the story so you keep paying for chapters I think it’s longer than war and peace I will not be paying for another book from Radish plus some chapters are only 2 pages long at most 4 pages Marie.Dissapointed dickoVersion: 2.36.0

✓ “Lucky Draw” riggedThis is ridiculous, and 100% rigged. The only prize I have received in the last week of this nightly so called “lucky draw” 1 coin, random book chapters I’ve got no interest in or “better luck next time. Put something realistic in your lucky dip like 5, 10, 25 coins. Seriously ridiculous.Chocolate is better than appleVersion: 3.10.1

✓ Expensive book!Great books BUT once you get into the story you have to buy coins! It’s basically 50p a chapter and there are over 200 chapters!!! No end to the story just cliff hanger after cliff hanger with the jist of and then they woke up! Another big drama, ends, buy a chapter, some disappointing result, and again and again! I get the app creators and authors need to make money! But seriously this is crazy expensive?! Kindle unlimited and even Netflix just charge a subscription and they clearly make a pretty penny! After all this money I’ve spent for nothing I’m deleting the app and definitely won’t be recommending. Those making money on this should be ashamed of themselves!!!!!!!.Livsie84Version: 2.30.1

✓ YikesWonderful authors and stories. But what in the world is the purchasing situation. If I want to unlock a story fully I’m spending over $20 dollars and the story isn’t even finished. Now if I go to a bookstore and purchase a book that is professionally written, edited, and printed I normally spend $10-$12 for a book, that is finished. Plus if I wanted to purchase that book as an e-book instead I’m paying less money. I look to see if there’s a subscription, there is… so you’re telling me with this subscription I pay you money each month just to get a reward for spending MORE money, for unfinished books that are priced higher than normal books🤔 oh but the subscription discounts it, because I would be paying you money each month. BUT I’m digging the free chapter after x amount of time since it forces me to take a break, I am a mother of twins with lots to do. So I’ll enjoy the free side of your app but wholly wow is your subscriptions a little wacky. I also came to add… if there’s a book you’re enjoying, I suggest you google it, you can find it for free or cheaper. Just found the one I love for free🥰.Jennifer lifoztsoVersion: 4.5.2

✓ Good app but some problemsI have been using the app for quite a while now and the stories are pretty good on here. At the moment I’m reading torn between alphas, I’m supposed to be getting a free episode however it isn’t letting me read the next chapter without using 3 coins. I talked to some people on the live chats and people are having the same problem. This app is actually pretty expensive now for me kinda disappointed. I hope the app creators fix this soon otherwise I may just delete the app..User1485Version: 2.32.0

✓ As good as… I guessI only used it to read a book that had been removed from Wattpad. It’s fine and I’m about 50 chapters and no complaint so far other than the hour wait time between chapters but now any time I open the app, even after updating it, I have this, what I’m guessing is a playable ad sound playing in the background with whatever I do within the app. I have force closed so many times and no matter what I do it just plays with no way to get rid of it. If I want to listen to anything in the background while reading I can’t. I have to read with my sound on silent. Not a big problem but very worrying when I’m trying to read when someone is screaming “HELP!” In the background. Please fix this 😩.Cooperman2009Version: 3.27.3

✓ Save your money.Honestly, just buy books instead. The number of stories on this app that have infinite chapters and seasons is astounding. They’re literally sagas that’s never end. Imagine a ‘book’ with 120 chapters and 40+ series (they call them seasons). Each chapter costs 3 coins. You could build your own library with the amount of money you spend for mediocre writing and incomplete books. There’s no quality control either. They don’t check for the standard of writing they publish. Twelve year olds can write better. Trust me. Stay miles away..AppleAddictedVersion: 3.12.0

✓ Too good to be trueFabulous stories, they get you hooked you can read free time released chapters until well into the story or use the coins you’ve earned or bought until almost the end then you have to use coins. Read 29 chapters then they force you to buy coins. Super frustrating, then the coin prices are pretty high. I get the authors need to be paid but this info would have been good at the start..CoolcatjadeVersion: 3.10.1

✓ Not Worth ItI like most of the stories on this app but its ridiculous how much you got to pay for coins or how long the wait times are. It could be 3hrs or 24hrs and that only gets you one short episode that takes three minuets to read. Also once you catch up with a story, you cant wait the allotted time to read it. You HAVE to use coins to access or you cant read any further. Even if its the end of the story. Thats stupid. Most other reading apps I'm on only make you wait 30 mins to an hr at most and you aren't forced to use coins. And the coins also cost a-lot for three at a time. Its stupid. They should charge one coin to read. Also when it says you have a free ep to unlock, good luck if its the last few chaps of the story. They make you use coins or wait till it gets updated or a new sequel. All in all, forget this app and go with a better one like Chapters or Choices..DivaluvscenaVersion: 3.1.2

✓ Issue since last updateSince last update, I can use read screen feature on the book..P12333Version: 3.28.0

✓ Totally ridiculousThis app has real potential but the way it’s set up is just stupid. You get less than 5 minutes read time (chapter) then have to wait an hour for the next 5 minutes of read. With ~ 500 chapters that’s 2 months of checking in 8 times a day. No one wants that. Make the chapters longer or less wait time or just let us buy the book. If we currently buy coins to progress the book would cost hundreds of dollars..KatyaFitzGeraldVersion: 3.6.0

✓ Such a shameThis could be a really good app the stories are great. Having to wait 3-24hrs to read the next chapter is completely rediculous, and theres no way to earn coins or anything like that to unlock the chapters more quickly. I wouldnt mind if i could buy the book. Its such a waste of time waiting around for the chapters to unlock and it feels like such a shame that they have ruined the experience of reading the stories by doing this. Please sort this out even if you have to pay for the rest of the book in one go would be better or just a subscription per month would be an upgrade!.RosetarksVersion: 2.33.0

✓ Good appGood app but it would be better if you could read offline, and if the story displayed whether all chapters are free or not. And some stories become free after a while while others don’t which is kinda confusing..ShawnMendesBaeVersion: 2.0.3

✓ Personal audience with JK Rowling is cheaperHaving recently stumbled across this app, due to their advertising on social media, I downloaded and hoped to read my guilty pleasures. What a great app and platform for writers. Then reality strikes, you read a page and then have to wait a ridiculous time to read another or pay. I don’t mind paying for the content at all, I do mind being ripped off. Give readers the option to just buy the book outright. How do you justify charging so much? It would be cheaper, as the title suggests, to pay for JK Rowling to come and visit!.Louby34Version: 2.29.0

✓ Torn between AlphasThe book is long and the author is making a lot of money. It’s costing too much money to read. It’s not right!.Assunta15Version: 3.13.0

✓ DO NOT USE THIS APP, YOU WILL BE RIPPED OFFI started reading the billionaires surrogate, although for me it is a good read I was shocked when I had to start paying to unlock chapters. At first I didn’t think much of it, however the chapters were really small, probably no more than 1500 words in each, once I added up what I had spent, I was in complete shock. So far I have spent over £120 and the book still isn’t finished. There are three chapters uploaded daily! There is no mention of this when you join and you don’t just have the option to pay a set amount and finish the book. So disappointed!.S.NewlandVersion: 2.33.0

✓ Not Worth it.Not worth the prices, it should be made into a monthly subscription, there are better alternatives to this app. pls don’t waste your money you have to wait one hour to read one short chapter and you can only have to watch six videos per day to get six coins when it coats three coins for access to one chapter..Chio5725Version: 3.15.1

✓ WtfStories are over priced and shockingly written. Not even the best authors sell 2 minutes of writing for 1 dollar. These arent chapters, they are pages. Cool concept but a straight up click bait money grab.NlabooksVersion: 3.3.0

✓ Billionaires surrogateSo far it’s a good story. The chapters are far too short. Once I finish this book I’ll delete this App..KhgxxzVersion: 3.15.1

✓ Decent. Could be betterOverall, it’s an interesting format. Some of the stories are excellent. Some are trash, and not in the fun sort of way. I don’t particularly like books that haven’t been completed. Some are so many seasons it’s insane to try and read them. I think the wait feature is fine BUT waiting an hour+ for a chapter you read in less than a minute is ridiculous. Chapters should have to be a minimum length or wait times should be shortened to 15-20 mins tops. Also I wish it had an Auto Unlock feature if it stays an hour. I don’t always have time to go in and manual unlocked ten stories every hour just so I can have 5 minutes of reading time later. Editing should be mandatory for stories published. You are charging people, be it time or money, for a product. I don’t expect perfection but when each chapter is riddled with basic grammar and spelling issues, that’s ridiculous. Lastly, coins should not expire. I should be able to save and use them when I want to on whichever books I want. Sometimes a story will require over 100 coins to unlock. I shouldn’t have to do that incrementally. 3 coins is a lot to unlock one chapter that may or may not only take 1 minute to read. And I have a very short time period to decide how to use them. It’s also very difficult to see which coins are still available and when exactly they expire in your history. I like it when the story will tell me exactly how many coins I need to unlock the remaining chapters..Nickielynn02Version: 3.20.3

✓ AnnoyingThe book and writing are fine, not the best but definitely not the worst book I’ve read, it’s interesting enough and I’d like to finish, but you can only read for 2 minutes (a very short chapter) and then you must wait for the next or buy coins. At 400 chapters, it’s either insanely expensive or will take months to read. I will finish this book then delete the app. I’d rather just pay for the book and sit and read in my own time, not in 2 minute intervals. Would not recommend..A33333kVersion: 3.8.2

✓ Rip offThis app is s total rip off. It entices you to read a book for free for a few chapters then once it’s done, you have to buy coins to unlock the next chapters and will only let you read 3 chapters a day. Not only are the chapters too short but the content of the story/book is very repetitive in the next chapters. The author/s publishing their books in this app are only here to earn money and does not bother with the quality of the content of their book. The total amount that you will spend for coins to unlock a chapter will already allow you to buy several copies of a well published book with an ending. I strongly advise not to read any books from this app. You will be wasting your money from a story that has poor content, short chapter and a story line that will not end..Mari3all3nVersion: 3.7.0

✓ Money pitAt the beginning I enjoyed this app. Currently only 3-4 weeks into actually having it. Regret how much money I’ve thrown into this! I’m reading a story that is no where near completed mind you I’m over 700 pages in! Goes around in circles and instead of finishing the book the author is creating spin off stories instead. Stay clear from this app! And buy a book! Would be way cheaper! And you don’t have to wait out for a drawn out ending for the author to make extra cash out of you!.Nikki ex TBA fan!Version: 2.33.0

✓ Don’t buyThe story I’m reading never ends. Just charge me to continue. Now there is a disclaimer to say there is a team of writers, like a movie. Wish I had known this when I started to read there top story. I have been seriously mislead. Stay away from this app..MelisacVersion: 3.19.0

✓ AnnoyingOk app only came here to follow @whiskeyqueen love her stories, it crashes when ever I get near the end of a chapter and I can't read till the end which is extremely frustrating.DktkiwaraVersion: 1.34.1

✓ Stories change & force u to spend moreI log back on to see that in books where I had purchased parts of it, the chapters I had previously waited 24 hours each for have been locked, so now I don’t have the full story. Some chapters you can wait to unlock and some you have to pay. Basically, I’m left with fragments of these books and I don’t want to spend more money to reread them. All of these changes make it difficult and expensive to read on here. I wish there was an option where you could buy the entire book, which other apps offer. Also, it’s off-putting when authors make chapters super short to milk a story for more than it’s worth. It’s a bad business model. I will say though that there are some good stories that are completely free..IfucanthangbbyVersion: 3.30.0

✓ Broke and disappointedThe stories are great but they will send you broke! 3 coins per chapter and only 1 opportunity to receive 3 free coins per day! I pay a monthly subscription and get enough coins to read 66 chapters per month - that sounds like a lot of chapters, but these chapters aren’t long enough to be considered chapters! The book I’m currently reading is over 1000 chapters so far and it’s not even finished yet - not even close!!! So you can imagine how much I have spent already in this app - more fool me!! But there is no point airing your grievances to the developers or Radish support, because they couldn’t care less... maybe they should start... an average of 2.8 stars for reviews over the past 9 months compared to mostly 5 stars 2 years ago, something went wrong there... deleting the app and cancelling my subscription before it’s next due and do yourself a favour, don’t even bother with this app, you’ll be broke before you know it!!.BroEllTayVersion: 2.36.0

✓ FraudThis app has been charging me for months without my consent. I looked into my subscriptions for the first time in months and noticed that there was several unauthorized purchases from this app. I don’t even use this app. Now I have to go through apple and try and get the refund but even then I can’t receive it all back. Avoid this app at all cost..Hric04Version: 4.8.2

✓ RadishThis app is a rip-off. They want you to purchase coins to read a book and the chapters are so short. If you don’t purchase coins you have to wait for 3 hours to read 1 short chapter. There are better apps to read FREE books. Also it works out cheaper if you go in store to purchase a hard copy of a novel. If I can rate this before I delete it I would not give it even 1 star..Candy_Snow1012Version: 2.36.0

✓ It just froze, while I tried to open another chapter. Screen gone pink, and nothing else can be doneSo disappointed.Krus5Version: 3.10.1

✓ App doesn’t work properly now with updateYou have updated the app and is now worse. You can’t finish one book and then go to the next you have to close the app completely and then restart the app. It also keeps telling you there is a network error and to try again. Very annoying.PrincezzlanezVersion: 3.0.1

✓ DisappointedI love the books, they’re great. Some of them are not correctly edited. If I win coins they will expired in 24 hours; then don’t give them to me. Have to wait 1 hour for every new chapter and it’s frustrating because the chapters are really short. Only two chances a day to only wait 10 minutes. If I leave the app for 24 hours I won’t have 24 chapters because I have to claim every single chapter after that 1 hour ends. I cannot go in and out of an app 24 times a day whether I forget or I have things to do. But what happened today was it for me I got very angry so I just finished a challenge yesterday and they haven’t let me claim my prize. You are taking away the opportunity of people reading so many great books by charging and those long waits if you’re gonna sell the book sell the whole thing. AND I WANT MY PRIZE!.Jasmiley!Version: 3.23.0

✓ DisappointingI’m all for paying the authors and having a subscription but when the coins expire because you don’t use them all is not ok. I’ve paid for them I should be able to use them in whatever time frame I want. 3coins a chapter and some of the books go on for ages. I’ll be using the coins that just just got purchased them through the subscription and then nothing more will be removing the app..Convos?Version: 2.36.0

✓ Overly expensiveThe payment plan should be a single price per book. As things stand, you can wait for most chapters (normally 3 hours but can be up to 24 hours wait) before unlocking a ‘chapet’ (which is generally about a minute’s worth of content). If you stick with things, you’ll get to a point where the last 15 ‘chapters’ must be purchased. That would be fine if that ‘last 15’ didn’t keep growing for ‘unfinished’ books - you have to keep paying forever on those. Cheaper to just buy mills and boon! At least then you can read to the end of a book without being bankrupted..SMS317Version: 3.0.3

✓ Didn't get creditedGreat app, but I tried to buy some coins, and it said my purchase was successful, but I haven't yet been credited anything. Was quite disappointed and hope this will be fixed soon. :( has this already sent? because I've had to submit it a few times.Sharky121Version: 1.1

✓ RipoffIt’s pretty clear that the 5star reviews are fake. They’re all from a year or more ago!! Probably when the app was created and who knows maybe then it wasn’t like this??? Who can afford the coins to progress one chapter?! And why doesn’t waiting 6 hours then give you 2 chapters?! No it gives you one, you must activate the first chapter before it will load the countdown for the next one!! I’m all for supporting talented writers! There should be an option to buy the books outright! Or buy a specific number of coins - not be stuck subscribing to a set amount per week that still doesn’t cover the amount of coins you would like to read the book! Very disappointed. I would have given zero stars but the content is good - the execution is horrendous..DnnhVersion: 2.31.0

✓ Expensive and never endingIt’s expensive to read these books, a lot never end. You can wait to read a chapter, however the last 8 chapters must be paid for. The problem Is the last 8 chapters change when a daily new chapter is released, meaning once you get to the end you have to keep paying daily. It’s very misleading, I expect the true cost to read a book is probably in excess of £100.I love hedgehogsVersion: 2.30.1

✓ PainfulReading on this app is painful, each page costs you 3 coins which you can get by watching an add or by waiting. Disappointing that the books are not available for purchase, don’t waste your time just buy a book on Amazon..Lauzii_xVersion: 3.15.1

✓ AnnoyingI really don’t like that I have to wait 3 hours. Why can’t I just pay a small fee and read the book. When you have kids you only get a certain time of day to read. Enjoyable books but concept of the app is just plain irritating.ETur90Version: 3.0.3

✓ CrashingIs there a reason as to why my app won't even open because I've been trying for the last month or so..I liked it at firstVersion: 2.6.5

✓ Update fail!I love this app it has great stories and a great past time. I recently downloaded the new update because it said the version I had wasn’t supported. Now even with the update it takes me to the continuous loop of update now version not supported even though I already had can someone please fix this update problem!!.Tinalynn91Version: 1.35.25

✓ Love the App but -I honestly love the app, the stories are so addicting but I would wish for them to switch it up so that you can get coins while reading a story or watch an ad and get 3 coins, just SOMETHING. Not everyone has money to purchase “coins”.XbfranxoVersion: 3.8.2

✓ Good stories but really long wait timesI’ve been enjoying the stories a lot and they’re very engaging but the waiting times are VERY offputting... it gets to the point where you don’t even want to read them anymore due to waiting. It also doesn’t help that the chapters are SO short. If one of those points were fixed, it would be a much more pleasant experience.Meelar03Version: 3.16.2

✓ A scam, just buy a bookStar because stories are good but absolutely not worth it, get your stories elsewhere. Wastes so much of your life waiting and if you would prefer just to pay the price the prices are ridiculous. Example of how this operates: you can get 270 coins for $35, and it’s 3 coins per episode of a book. So $35 can get you 70 episodes which is like 1 book at best (many are much longer. That is like 4x the price of an average purchased e-book on Amazon. There is also the opportunity to do a free draw once a day. The draw appears random with 6 options for things you can win like 1 episode of a book (aka really bad gift, just 1 hour wait saved) or 600 coins (great gift). I have gotten the 1 free episode gift 5/6 times, and the other time I got better luck next time. The chances of that happening with a random draw are literally 1 out of 7,776 (basic probability math, 1/6 chance multiplied together 5 times). Like there is a 0.1% chance this is not rigged..Maddy383838Version: 3.13.2

✓ Good concept, bad executionI like the selection of books available, and I like the idea of paying and supporting authors. I also like the option of winning coins and ‘coin events’ which makes it a bit easier on your wallet. However there are constant glitches within the app, and it continually crashes. The format and layout of the app could do with some serious updating to make it more functional. Otherwise a pretty okay app..PotatoboiiiiiVersion: 2.15.0

✓ Radish user reviewVery little content. No way to acquire coins except through payment and deals are expensive. Ok to pass time but not worth money..Dann5iiVersion: 2.36.0

✓ Scam alertTheir entire marketing strategy is based around false promotions. Coupons set to expire before they become redeemable, "read to win" events that actually cost more than they pay. False advertising that the authors don’t have the permissions to correct themselves. Readers AND authors beware! This app will alienate your readership..MuffincupsVersion: 4.13.2

✓ Book optionTotally agree. Should have an option to buy the book along with the chapters- also as of now my app won’t stay open!! Wth!!.LindseedawnVersion: 4.9.0

✓ Too expensiveI spent $15 which wasn’t enough to read 1 book. To buy complete e-books like these is usually less then $10. You get a free ‘episode’ every hour but they are so short that you read them in about 30 seconds. There’s much more affordable romance E-books out there. If on the other hand you have no money to spend and you’re very, very patient then download the app. There’s some good writing on there..Cazz1967Version: 3.16.3

✓ DO NOT USE RADISH !Please spare yourself from using this App. Books are expensive and the chapters are short! You can easily spend $100 on coins and not even get close to finishing a book! Also DO NOT sign up for the monthly coins, it’s difficult to remove, they automatically remove money from your account and if not used the coins disappear. Regret big tint for wasting my money! Many other free options online to read better quality books..Radish is disappointingVersion: 3.5.0

✓ Rip offCurrently reading a book that if I were to pay for coins would cost me hundreds of dollars From what I’ve read wait time used to be 3 hours and now only 1 hour Hate that there is no other option of getting coins eg watch an ad to get coins If the developers read the comments in all the books they would see there is plenty of upset users If you read the 5 star comments they don’t relate to the actual reality of this app On a positive note - great stories just not worth the $300 to read in one go.NT NicoleVersion: 3.1.4

✓ Too expensiveI love reading and have no issues spending money on a book/series I am really into. This app is good, the stories I have read so far are good, and the grammatical errors are better then most apps like this that I have tried. The cost though is waaaaayyyy to expensive. I have already spent $50 and I am only on season4 of a 16 season book. This also includes all the time I have waited for my free episodes. It is outrageous. I think they would do better to give people the ability to purchase a coins cheaper even without free episodes. It feels gimmicky. I also don’t like that you can’t just keep reading in large sections with out constantly think about spending 50cents (about) per chapter. Also these chapter seem more equivalent to about 4-6 actually pages in a book. They are so short it is just digging for money. I really do enjoy this app, but I can not reason spending so much money when there are so many more options out there with just as good if not better quality writing, options, and apps..CluckVersion: 3.9.0

✓ Disappointed!This is why I like the wattpad app much better than this disappointment of an app. Anyone who is interested in downloading this app, there’s absolutely no point, it’s way too expensive and the fact you have to wait a few hours to read the next chapter is a little stupid. There’s no point downloading this app, it will only be a waste of your own time..SassybolVersion: 3.15.1

✓ Radish AppDecided to try them out and read a book that caught my eye on fb. If you want to read for free, you must wait 1 hour between very short chapters (not a way to become engaged in a book). I purchased 25 “coins” for 3.99 thinking that should purchase the remainder of the book so I could read through at my own pace have, I have no problem supporting the author. This was not enough so I purchased 100 coins at 9.99 so I could finish it. Still not enough. To pay $14 and not be able to read the entire book is robbery, I can purchase a hard copy of a book for half that or pay that fee monthly to read many books through other services. In addition, the grammar and punctuation is terrible and the story has a lot of conflicting information from chapter to chapter. Very disappointed, this app will be deleted. Thumbs down Radish👎🏻.Moss XmasVersion: 3.12.0

✓ His royal appetiteThis story is like a soap opera. Glad I never paid anything to read it. Story never ends and the plot is completely ridiculous. At times it’s like the author can’t even remember what they have written earlier in the book as the plot story lines don’t add up and many twists happen that are never resolved. I read some of it for the amusement of how crazy the story was but it just got too stupid in the end so I deleted this app.Riri8890Version: 3.15.1

✓ Love it! But..I love this app! I read it constantly whenever I can and quarantine has got me bored. But I also feel like there really should be some changes. I feel that if this app should take out the wait times and coins and let people read for free. I only say this because if this happens more and more people will download this app. I was hesitant about downloading at first because I knew you had to pay and wait a while for stories and I’m also a big reader so I knew I would get hooked instantly. I just got the app about last week and the story I’m reading has almost 800 chapters, and the story still isn’t done! Which is incredible but I REALLY want to catch up because I know I’m wayyy behind. If the paying and waiting we’re taken out then you could get much more people downloading. I still love this app and will continue to read but I really think these things should be lowered at least because with 265 coins which is about 88 chapters, I could easily read that in less than a week considering how short a lot of the chapters are. And I love to binge read!.Misa FlintyVersion: 2.34.1

✓ Love it but....I keep not being able to read certain chapters of a story, it will repeatedly say, that something went wrong and to try again. This is really annoying because I just waited three hours for this chapter, and now I can’t even read it..Puhg13Version: 3.0.3

✓ Video AdsI’ve been trying for days to watch an ad so i can get a coin, but always says no ads available. It’s ridiculous that there are no ads available for days???? It usually reloads after like 1 day but not DAYS. This happened when i recently updated the app. What’s going in?.ChihoonneyVersion: 3.27.0

✓ Coins EXPIRE?!?!?!I was enjoying this app. I don’t read a lot of fiction but was ok reading some of these stories. I was even happy to pay for coins so I read as much as I wanted when I had time. Then I didn’t have as much time for recreational reading once uni went back and I work full time and have a child as well. Imagine my shock, and anger, when I finally had a free hour to myself and thought about reading the rest of a story, only to find that my coins had EXPIRED?!?!?!?! What the actual f$%^?!.Javajunkie80Version: 3.15.1

✓ App won’t even allow me to log inIt says will send confirmation email 20 minutes later still nothing.CO45TVersion: 2.21.0

✓ “Episodes” are too short while wait is too longStories on here are very addictive and enjoyable however, the wait for each “episode” is ridiculous long. Each episode can be finished within minutes and then you’re left with a 24h wait. Get an ebook, it’s cheaper. Also, many spelling and grammar errors (very amateur).Lalalalalalalalalalala1246358Version: 2.34.1

✓ Too long to waitI started reading the billionaire’s surrogate during lockdown, do to been out of work because of the pandemic am extremely short on cash so I spent I did spend some money on this book already and I’m only half way through the book. I didn’t want to spend anything at all but due to the book been a great means of escape from my anxiety and trying to reduce the stress of everything going on it almost becomes impossible when having to wait three hours. Which wouldn’t of been so bad if the chapters were a longer read not just 1 page (shouldn’t be called chapters), or every three hours getting 6 chapters (pages) Not only would reducing the wait time or adding more for the amount of time having to wait, more then likely people would not want to get rid of the app etc. I will only be reading this one book then deleting this app due to the fact I started to read without knowing the wait times. Happy with the book but not worth the money I spent! DONT GET THIS APP IF YOU WANT TO READ IT WILL TAKE YOU YEARS TO READ ONE BOOK WITHOUT HAVING TO SPEND HUNDREDS ON IT!.ChanythjkkVersion: 2.36.0

✓ DisappointedSo disappointed with this app to get free coins going to cancel reading is never ending just $$$$$ all the time.SididndfkVersion: 4.13.0

✓ Extremely disappointedI love the stories I have been reading but I cannot afford to pay for the coins to read the story it’s absolutely nuts! Can you not charge a monthly subscription where you can download say 5 books that month for free while still having the coin and free chapters after 4 hours option? I mean I love a good book but by the time the next chapter is ready I almost have to reread the last chapter it’s insane. 2 stars because the stories really are excellent but everything else about this app is annoying maybe I’m just impatient 🤷🏻‍♀️..@123098$&?Version: 2.35.1

✓ Barely any Reverse Harem - DisappointedIt’s an app for romance books, but only has 4 RH books and doesn’t list Reverse Harem under any of its categories. I know RH is niche, but it is fast growing and has a large community following. As an app that specialises purely in romance, I would had thought it’d be the one place I could find many books in this category. Hopefully this changes and I can add more stars..Wintervixen78Version: 2.32.0

✓ Coins VanishThey offer you coins each day for watching ads then they are gone the next day..VeronicaStylesVersion: 3.30.0

✓ Never receive the coins I’ve been charged forEvery time I attempt to purchase coins. I pay for them the transaction goes through but I never get the coins I’ve paid for. I tried to contact Radish’s support team but they replied to one email explaining that they could refund me the full amount and once I showed them all the charges they stopped replying..KaityboofourthousandVersion: 2.1.1

✓ Great but too expensive for coinsLove the stories but I‘m trying to read one book and already had to spend more on coins than I would spend on a book if I bought it in the store. Is there no option to just buy the full book and read it rather than always getting coins?.AcbtryingVersion: 2.21.0

✓ CoinsIt doesn’t make sense to wait on the coins at 7 in the morning because it just doesn’t work it only gives 1 dollar smh..MshsbjsdnVersion: 3.31.0

✓ More than oneGood stories but u have to wait too long for it to upload to another chapter.Vic20nzVersion: 2.33.0

✓ PricingShould be a way to purchase the whole story rather than by episode because it becomes a total rip off for an unpublished book.ConnieRebVersion: 2.18.2

✓ Exploiting readersI began reading Torn between alphas by PandaB on wattpad for free in 2017. At first the updates were just a few days behind Radish ones until the author removed all by two or three chapters to draw readers in then get them to move to a paying app here. It is May 2020 and this story started in 2017 and the story is just a never ending story that seems to have no end in sight. It’s cost me over £300 and the author is dragging out the story for money, Pure and simple. Worst still I’m paying for a story that isn’t consistent, proof read or edited as a whole. I’m shocked that this app allows such poor quality writing to be on their app or don’t intervene to improve the quality for their readers. Because at the end of the day without paying readers this app wouldn’t be a success. Not only that but the author now has a chat story of this book which has different details like as character descriptions and also another story that branched off from TBA. Maybe she should focus on one higher quality story before she moves into the next. She’s spread herself too thin for money and Radish encourage it. Shame on them both!.Mand2309Version: 2.33.0

✓ Poorly edited time wasting cash grabI will not be reading any more stories on this app after I finish the first. The editing is terrible, the writing isn't great, and the wait is killing me. I only have to wait an hour between 5-minute pages because it's my first story ("Torn Between Alphas"), but this entire "book" would've taken me a very short time to read if not dragged out over the course of several days by the cooldown period. New chapters don't automatically unlock if you don't open the app, so you have to check it often to keep the story going, and there isn't a simple way I've found to mark actual progress while unlocking multiple chapters for later. The price of the coins to read the story at my actual reading pace is ridiculous and would still be ridiculous if it were well-written and edited. I will assume this is the quality of other available stories since it's been so highly advertised in my other apps. In which case, I have no interest in continuing to waste my time..BirdieH84Version: 3.12.1

✓ Good app but Too long of a WaitI love Radish and the stories, I used it before the now update where you have to wait 24 hours for the next episode. Before this addition it was amazing and I would spent weeks reading books and constantly using it. Now it is so annoying waiting for the coupon to recharge to then read again, it makes me not want to use Radish a lot and I forget about it constantly. Radish could you change this major problem back to normal where we can read as normal. OR could you make the time shorter like 3 hours or less. Please :)).AlanatodoVersion: 2.36.0

✓ Too expensiveIt’s too expensive to read the stories, they should have a monthly pass to either read a certain story or multiple otherwise your are spending a ridiculous amount to read a story compared to buying a book. Also I found out recently some of the stories on there are already books that have been reposted on radish, I was very upset to learn this as I could have spent a much smaller amount on all the books instead of Atleast a hundred just to read in short chapters slowly on radish. You should have the free chapter option always available not just until the last fifty chapters!.Chelmarie12Version: 2.33.0

✓ App wont stay openI have been reading on Radish for almost 3 years and i have never had an issue until recently. I click on App to open and it starts to open up and load and then it exits. I would love to actually be able to read my stories i have paid alot for. Fix it please!.QueenBelle86Version: 4.10.1
