AnyStories-Good Novels & Books for Negative User Reviews
✓ Top Authors? Really?It really is interesting to start a story, only to go to the app and have to buy coins to go on. What a farce. Reading through some of the reviews, one response was you use top authors to justify the cost? If they were really Top authors, their books would be in a bookstore where it would cost e less to buy it I can buy a book from an established well known Author for less money than it costs to go through a book in this app. Or any reading app really. Personally, I’m tired of being financially raped for sub par products. Get real people, buy a book. Its much more satisfying, properly edited and cost less..Version: 1.49.20
✓ Needs improvementI downloaded this app due to a story being advertised as free on Facebook. The story is far from free. You have to pay coins to access each chapter. The coins are set based on the amount of words per chapter (3,000 words = 30 coins. 4,000 words = 40 coins, etc...) it can get pretty expensive. The app has noway to earn coins either. Like having a daily check in, or offering coins when you highlight a spelling mistake. That’s the other thing that needs improvement. You need to have a function built in that readers can highlight and take notes as they read so that the authors can look at them and easily fix mistakes, or reply to questions more easily..Version: 1.12.1
✓ Broken systemSo many good amateur books but if you don’t want to spend 2 years reading a book you have to pay a lot for one book. Wouldn’t be mad at spending a couple dollars or even $10ish on books but not $50 for books at a less quality than a kindle. This app would be amazing if it filled the gap between free and kindle but it misses the mark. Just another wattpad which is sad. Had high hopes but app is now deleted. Would not recommend downloading as you’ll read 5 chapters then have to stop..Version: 1.48.8
✓ Rip OffsDon’t download this!!! Points are low, as soon as you have enough to read a chapter, they increase the amount needed by almost double. They are extortionists, don’t download, just not worth it. I would not give any stars but it is required. Other apps like Joyread are way better..Version: 1.49.11
✓ GlitchThis app features great authors the only problem is is it is super expensive and any time I go back on it my coins have dwindled. I checked it two days ago and had 45 coins today I went and checked I only have 6..Version: 1.47.5
✓ Way too expensiveThis app costs way to much. Just to complete one book cost more than a normal book you would buy from a book store or even on kindle or iBooks..Version: 1.48.8
✓ Got too big for their bootsTreats authors appallingly. Deletes books that are still being written and locks authors out so they can’t continue updating the books in question. Has ghostwriters that plagiarises hard working authors books and releases them under a fake name and title. The ‘top 10’ books is a load of nonsense as most of them barely have any reads. Avoid like the plague, especially if you’re an author!!.Version: 1.48.6
✓ Chapters are Soooo Expensive!!The stories are great, well written and engaging but the developers are greedy as the chapters are short and really over priced. The book I’m currently reading works out at around £30 to purchase in full, that’s double the price of a print copy from most authors!! It’s a shame because the platform is a great way to get work out in the public domain but unfortunately great writers will miss out on starting a fan base because of the cost..Version: 1.48.2
✓ Not greatAbsolute rip off. You have to spend way too much on unlocking the chapters. Way too expensive. The stories are average and repetitive. Overall I’m very disappointed and do not recommend this at all. Please come up with a better payment system..Version: 1.48.8
✓ RipoffI like the story, but you have to pay for coins in order to read a chapter. There is no wait times, and the “challenges” are not worth enough coins to get through a chapter. Waste of time, there are other reading apps that are better. Do not recommend this one. Really disappointed..Version: 1.49.7
✓ Rip offYou’re looking at around £30 per book, you’ll get the first 10 short chapters free then even with all the discounts around £30 to get through the rest of it, I wouldn’t mind but doing it but by bit, a fiver gives you 10 very short chapters, literally around 20-30 minutes of reading time. Unfortunately i didn’t realise this until I’d already brought into it..Version: 1.47.1
✓ Not worth it.This app is ridiculous . I bought what I thought would be enough coins to make it through a book and it didn’t even make it half way through. I actually thought it would make it through a book and part of another because it was more money than a paperback in a book store is worth. It’s actually kinda pathetic on my part for even trying to spend money to make it through a book in a day on here. If there was an option for 0 stars I’d give it. Basically highway robbery.Version: 1.49.7
✓ Better Reading Apps availableYou need coins no matter what for this app. Extremely costly, even for the coin membership. Looking into the unlimited which is only certain books. You can’t earn much in the way of trying to get additional coins for chapters. Radish so far has been the best way to read novels for the same price as the books should be paid. This company needs to start doing just a subscription like most or earn more coins. Or chapters unlocked after a certain period of time like radish. Even Wattpad and Galatea are doing better regarding the right balance for money to book spending..Version: 1.47
✓ Insanely overpriced!!This app is crazy! I started reading a book after seeing it on Facebook. I bought 10.00 in coins. Which would unlock 30 chapters. The chapters are insanely short. I’d guess not even a full typed page of writing. Once I finished those chapters I went to look into buying more coins. They have a button to unlock the rest of the book. It would cost me 19,306 coins. I can buy 5000 coins for 49.99. So, the book would costs me 210.00. It’s ridiculous! There is mention of unlimited membership but it doesn’t cover all books! DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS!!.Version: 1.48.8
✓ Cost more than a book on kindleYou get sucked into the story…. And can’t finish it because you have to have the app and then you have to pay for the rest of the story…. Each time you read‽‽ what the whaaaat… I’ll stick with normal price purchasing in kindle or the book shop thank you. Also did a help message and got nothing back from customer services … not a great start at all so I would say save your money, all of the money it is going to cost you ££££$$$$.Version: 1.49.16
✓ Too much!I started reading a book that was advertised on Facebook called “four or dead” could be a really good book but not something worth paying actual money for. And the prices to purchase each chapter are just too much!!! I had never heard of this app until I saw the promotion on Facebook and I see why now. I would love to finish the book but I barely started it. I did the watch ads option to get the bonus coins but it only goes for so many ads before you have to stop for the next day. I’d continue watching multiple ads for each chapter if that were an option but it’s not. Not worth spending mommy hard earned money on. And when I googled it to find out the information on the book it says “FOUR OR DEAD ALL CHAPTERS READ ONLINE FOR FREE” now most people would take that as the chapters are free!!! Only had this app for 24 hours and seriously disappointed, going to delete it now!.Version: 1.48.0
✓ It’s a shame, butIt’s a shame these app developers are so greedy. There are some genuine good stories in here; but costs WAYYYY too much for the reader. Also it feels like I’m paying out for unfinished work; if you want to get paid as a writer, you should proof read your work. It shouldn’t have silly little mistakes; and if your first language isn’t English, get a native English speaking person to proof read/translate. Too much money wanted for poor product. As I said it’s a shame cause some of the plot lines I was enjoying; but not at the price I could pay for multiple books…..Version: 1.41.3
✓ Too expensiveIt’s got some good stories but unfortunately to hard to unlock chapters as can barely get enough rewards to unlock one chapter a day and with a book that has 334 chapters it’s gonna take me almost a year to read that’s ridiculous and it’s way to expensive to pay for it. Would love if there was an option to just pay at a reasonable price to just unlock the whole book would be much much better. Please fix this and then it would be a great app unfortunately just too expensive to use and am so disappointed cause there is a book I am loving..Version: 1.48.0
✓ Too expensiveIt would cost over $22 to read one story, that’s the price of a hardcover book. I read ebooks because it’s cheaper than buying physical books. There isn’t anyway to earn coins for free. There are better apps where you can earn coins or get a free chapter a day..Version: 1.8.3
✓ DisappointingI downloaded the app due to a book I was reading was moved to this app and only this app. However, to unlock the chapters you have to pay to buy the coins. There is no way of earning free coins like other apps have thus can get pretty expensive. This app needs improving. Furthermore, the support team is non-exist. It’s been a month since I queried this and haven’t received anything..Version: 1.15.1
✓ Doesn’t give the credit promised when u subscribe to FacebookWas supposed to get extra credit when you join the Facebook page. Was impossible to message the person to claim this after so posted it and one of the admin put a thumbs up but never given the extra credit. So I unsubscribed on the Facebook page.Version: 1.47.2
✓ They are scammingJoined AnyStories about four years ago. It was amazing back then. The chapters were reasonable 17-25 coins and the authors were amazing. However, here within the last year they have NOT been able to bring in new talent and the prices have gone through the roof 50-70 coins per chapter. The daily bonuses were something you could use to help offset some of the price and now they have taken that that to a number so low 3-10 coins that it does not help. The developers have started to push the readers to WhatsApp with the claims they were giving out better bonuses only for them to ask all their group members to give out positive reviews on book that they have only read a single chapter on. All those sudden reviews with weird codes at the beginning are nothing more than desperate readers trying to gain enough coins to read a single chapter. Feels very scam-ish at this point. I’ll complete my yearly subscription and I’m done!!!.Version: 1.48.2
✓ Ridiculously expensive. Don’t get drawn in by a few free chaptersOk so you get a few chapters for free then you have to buy coins (or take forever to get bonus which are small amounts). Then as each chapter goes to unlock another chapter the cost of how many coins you use keeps going up. Other people mentioned this as well but still have high reviews not sure why. I should have listened to what they said about the cost. The chapters are also small. The book I am trying to read has over 400 chapters. If I am already having to pay 38 coins for chapter 11 how many coins is it going to require to read the chapters past 400. I will try and use the bonus to get through the book but it take let the enjoyment out of reading so not sure if I will just give up at some point..Version: 1.48.5
✓ It’s ok, but expensiveThe stories are good, but the cost to read a few chapters quickly adds up..Version: 1.49.21
✓ Rj kane king of the underworldNeeds to get her book published! Or see about selling it on amazon! Love to read it but not for $70.Version: 1.48.5
✓ Basically a scamTotally understand you need to pay (or earn coins to pay) for chapters after the free teaser, but the ways to earn free coins are basically a scam. To earn 200 coins you need to unlock (buy with coins) 10 chapters but the chapters cost more than 20 coins each, so you are not getting back the same amount of coins you are paying, so unless one of the books in the challenge happens to be one you are keen to read you are paying more than you earn, so you aren’t getting anything to buy the chapters of the book you are trying to read and with over 300 chapters in most books, reading a book for “free” is impossible unless you are patient enough to wait the two years it will take..Version: 1.49.17
✓ Terrible App, don’t waste your time or moneyI grew up reading Wattpad (the free version) and while I did not expect this to be a spot on version, I did at least expect to get the bonus coins it’s supposed to give out. I have tried updating, waiting for future updates to fix the issue, and so on. So far, nothing good has come from me using this app. If I could at least get my daily bonus like I’m supposed to, I would possibly invest some money, as I have found quite a few books I like. But the app will not give me my bonuses, and when I do get the daily bonuses and time spent reading bonuses, I get to unlock one chapter before they disappear. I thought it was a fluke, tried to uninstall and reinstall and it’s a no go. I am uninstalling because, once again, I got my 35 bonus coins for reading and 5 bonus coins for daily log in (which is very finicky, it will say you’ve either read for less or more days so you never get the 15 bonus), I had 52 coins. I read ONE chapter of a book for 25 coins. All of a sudden, I have 11 bonus coins. I constantly go back to 11 coins no matter how many I use or do not use. I’m not going to spend my money on coins that I don’t even receive or glitch out. So, big no go for me and uninstalling to avoid the frustration..Version: 1.43.1
✓ Move alongThis app allowed me to find different stories that interested me, but the wait to unlock levels have been long for each chapter. Minutes a day of reading is not enough. And then when you’re finally about to have enough points to unlock a chapter, the system takes away your points. Not always, but that it happens at all is very frustrating..Version: 1.48.4
✓ No incentive to read as too expensive!There is no incentive to read and get involved in a story as you have to pay 6-10 times as much as a book from the store!! Way, way, way too expensive!!! At least give a daily login incentive or something! Only current option is to pay and I won’t!.Version: 1.12.1
✓ I would give this zero stars if I couldLiterally within an hour of downloading this app I hadn’t even opened any stories and I was getting notifications about rape and violent sexual stories sexual assault and so many incredibly inappropriate notifications… this is not at all what I thought this app would be about..Version: 1.49.0
✓ Seriously disappointingFantastic stories, which are very well written, shame about the some of the grammar and poor proof reading before publication. But that is way way behind the seriously disappointing way to try and finish a book. You can either obtain a few free bonus coins each day or buy them. I am currently on a 516 chapter book, and after earning enough to open the next chapter it was shockingly only 7 pages long, where the first few chapters to ‘hook a reader’ were between 19-25 pages. At this rate it will take me 18 months to finish the book or £100 if I buy. Some choice! People love to read and you are taking advantage of the authors (by publishing their work sloppily) as well as cheating the public (with extortionate prices)..Version: 1.49.2
✓ Great App but…I like the stories on this app. They’re decently written and I’m enjoying them more than some of the other apps. That being said, unless I’m spending $$$, I’m only able to read a chapter every week or so as the points are too slow to accumulate and they seem to expire really fast. 3 days in a row, I accumulated 5 points from a daily check in, and somehow 3 days in a row I was still at 22 points each day. It’s a little frustrating..Version: 1.49.2
✓ Don’t waste your time falling in love with these storiesI was really enjoying a story, but with my free coins, and an additional $9.99 for 1150 coins, I was only able to make it about 43 chapters into a book listed to have about 500 chapters. Some of the chapters were so short, but would still cost me 50 points for the next SINGLE chapter. I would end up spending over $50 reading one single story on this app. Books are already expensive and this is even more so with less fun. I want to binge read stories, not save a few coins a day to read like 2 minutes of a story. Kindle unlimited I can read as many free books as I want for $20 a month - the point of online reading is to make it more affordable and accessible!.Version: 1.48.7
✓ Good butI really like this app right , however these aren’t like proper books? The story I was reading was very well written but wasn’t to the standard of a book you would find in a shop. Like I say still well written, but not worth the amount of money the app is asking for to buy coins. Also noting how much shorter the chapters are than usual. The quality of the work I’ve read on it does not equal the amount of money being asked to sum up. You end up paying a ridiculous price for a book..Version: 1.48.8
✓ ABSOLUTE RIPOFFI have a lot of these types of apps and this one is one of the most expensive by FAR. The stories are not all that much better or different. The only way to really earn coins is watching adds, which gives next to nothing for coins, and buying subscriptions. There are so many better options available, go anywhere else.Version: 1.49.21
✓ Pregnant atGood.Version: 1.47.3
✓ Expensive way to read storiesThe story I started reading was quite good but it's a very expensive way to read stories. I gave up after paying $4.99 as it only allowed you to read a few more chapters before wanting another payment. Also, the app isn't that great. It's not easy to go back to a particular spot. And when it asked me to pay again to unlock the next chapter, it didn't work. I won't be using it again..Version: 1.49.7
✓ Big $ for unedited worksSo, I know I am a sucker. I start reading the excerpts on some random app, and get interested in the story. I knew this was a pay-by-chapter site, so I purchased $15 worth of coins (1500 plus 150 newbie bonus). I figured for $15 I would get the entire book. Nope. Much to my surprise this morning, the “you need more coins “ yellow bar popped up. I searched, and found that I had 53 more chapters to go. In essence, another $12. For those not great with math, that is $27- FOR A BOOK. Not even a physical one either. I know these writers need money too, but COME ON. The kicker? The story I was reading had a TON of grammatical errors. I had to reread several parts because my brain stopped focusing on the story and started figuring out the correct termage/ spelling/ verb tense, etc. I may try the “free” section, but I honestly think I may just head over to my local thrift store and pick up 27 books for $27. Cheap? Yes. Stupid? No..Version: 1.22.0
✓ Too expensiveGreat stories, extortionist business model. Over $200 for a book. Pay per chapter, which wouldn't be any issue, but a book only has 7-12 pages in a chapter and there are 400+ chapters, many if which are basically repeats. Feeling gouged..Version: 1.49.2
✓ Way too expensiveThe chapters are crazy expensive. The rewards are not worth anything. Each chapter costs way more than you can earn with any bonus points they offer. There is no reason for a book to cost $70 plus. These are not hard copies and they have definitely never had and editor look at them. I’m all for supporting an author but this is extortion. It would take half a year just to get through 1 book. Kindle unlimited you can pay $10 and get pretty much unlimited new full new books. Save your money this app is not worth it. There are better options out there..Version: 1.47.2
✓ Absolute rip offFan fiction or unedited stories at ridiculous prices, have to unlock chapter by chapter. Ending up costing well over $100 US for one measly story!!!!!!!! If I was going to spend that much on a book I’d want it leatherbound, on my shelf and signed by the author!!!!! Don’t get sucked in!.Version: 1.48.2
✓ Expensive & DeceptiveI’ve been using this app for a while now. There are a lot of stories to pick from but it is very expensive. I would normally just read using the bonuses I’d get from logging in, reading, and watching ads. I purchased coins to bulk purchase chapters of a book only to find out that a “rewritten” version was attached but not labeled as such causing me to actually purchase the book twice. I emailed customer support and was more or less told that they would do nothing, no reimbursement, no credits, NOTHING. I’ve also reached out about not getting the bonuses for watching ads. It’s gotten to were you have to watch a second ad at the beginning of EACH daily session instead of just the one to collect the bonus. That goes for BOTH the +4 ads and the +5 extra sign in bonuses. I have gotten NO RESPONSE as to why this is now happening. So BEWARE, you can and WILL be ripped off..Version: 1.49.23
✓ Points ExpiredThe Points i collect or paid is expiring on the app and i havent used any. How can i read or use the app if my points expired.Version: 1.49.0
✓ Not the bestSo I only recently downloaded this and while I’ve found a couple of stories I like most of them are great concepts but so poorly written I can’t get through more than a couple of chapters. This is no fault of the writers I know it’s common for writers to not have the best grammar, I just feel the people running the app should proofread stories before publishing even if it delays updates. Also I’ve checked in every day for the last five days but it only gave bonus for the first three every time I go to check in for the 15 bonus the date it says suddenly moves to the following day which is RIDICULOUS. I’m in school I can’t afford to spend money on these apps and there’s no wait for a free chapter feature, so bonus really help me get some reading. Its also a little hard to navigate in general it’s easy but I seem to only be able to put one tag and Id really like to be able to sort better through them. I wouldn’t mind an option to sort through complete and ongoing. Not to mention so far the majority of the free stories I’ve found are no more than ten chapters, I’ve found one free story that’s complete. I’m sure there’s more but my ability to sort and navigate the app makes it difficult the free story I did find that’s complete was found by accident..Version: 1.37.0
✓ Rip-offThough the books are good, I ended up paying $80AUD dollars for half of a book, discounts should be available for the whole book, now I have to pay another $50AUD if I wants to finish the book.Version: 1.49.4
✓ Expensive for no variety.I want to start this review by saying I haven’t spent a single dime of my own money on this app, thank goodness. I used daily bonus coins, completed daily challenges, got frequent “gifts” from three different Facebook groups, and watched ads. And EVEN STILL, I only made it like 24/99 chapters into a book I was interested in before I gave up. I’ve had this app for approximately one week, and I’ve just had enough. The three stories I’ve tried are riddled with grammatical errors, and the individual chapters cost entirely too many coins. I spent 85 coins on a chapter that was probably as long as a single page on Microsoft word, single spaced. I frequently will finish a chapter and say, “I paid ___ coins for that?” So I’m done. I am so glad I didn’t waste money on this app. There are only really three tropes available on the app, and I’m just not interested in billionaires, werewolves, or trauma-love stories enough to keep going. So, I’m deleting this awful app and I’m never looking back..Version: 1.47.4
✓ So expensiveI would like to know if the authors get compensated well because the cost to read a full book is outstanding. It’s also false advertisement ’read all chapters for free in app’ well they aren’t free because you have to buy coins. Another disappointing reading app.Version: 1.47.2
✓ Lacking app supportI have been dealing with an issue with the app. My unlimited stopped working even though I have an active subscription and recently renewed. I emailed support but since I didn’t get a response. I decided I would try to reinstall the app. I took screenshots first as a precaution. After I reinstalled the app I relogged back in and my account behaves like a new account. All the history and coins are gone. So I lost $25 of permanent coins and $10 of the unlimited. I have been emailing support but it takes them two days to answer and they don’t actually help nor answer my questions. This is a major headache and not worth it. If this happens to you, Don’t log out or reinstall your app. Just use what coins are left and then stop the service..Version: 1.41.3
✓ Extremely DisappointedThe first few chapters of the first book are well written and catch your interest but the cost is way too expensive. For that reason alone, an author won’t get supported, the cost of reading one whole book is horribly expensive. Way more expensive than a hardcover book, kindle, Apple Books and audible combined. It’s absurd..Version: 1.48.5
✓ MoneyYou have to pay to read the whole book, it’s way to much money to spend to read a book you might not even end up liking. It’s a no from me, and I advise you not to download it, you’ll read a book start to like it then you’ll have to stop reading it bc u have to pay for it. If this app wants to grow a viewer base and have more downloads, don’t make people pay for every book. Take notice of Wattpad they have programs where you’ll pay for a book and even then it’s 1 coin!!! You’re making me pay 20 coins for 1 chapter!!!! It’s totally ridiculous especially ur such a small app right now. Don’t get too big for your boots okay.Version: 1.8.3
✓ Glitchy & uneditedI really want to love this app. However, it’s fairly often that I log in and get my log in credits, go to click on a story to read a new chapter and all of a sudden my credits are gone. So it’s not really something that I can screenshot to get help with. But the time I did grab some screenshots, I wrote their help center and it wouldn’t let me send the photos through the app. So I just sent the written problem and then they said I had to send the screenshots. I tried to at least reply to the email in order to send the screenshots and they never got back to me. I have at least 60 credits worth by now that have just disappeared. Also, the stories are great but often full of misspelled words or grammatical errors. So I don’t know if there are supposed to be editors helping these new authors but if so, they certainly are doing a poor job. I will still keep this app till I’m done reading the stories I currently have going but, unless the glitches stop happening, I will be deleting when I’m done..Version: 1.43.2
✓ DisappointingSo this app is just like every other social media app advertising and it’s incredibly disappointing. Number one you earn very little for daily log in and ad watching Number two if you are patient enough to save your coins it will still take you forever to read a single book because the chapters are so short. My example for this is as follows: I got sucked into a story on an instagram ad…great no worries I’m patient enough to watch ads and stock pile coins….oh…even with unmasking the auto subscribe you still cannot see how much each chapter costs…no biggie…I will treat myself this one time because I like the story and buy a coin package….I bought something like 3500 to 4000 ….this should definitely get me through the book…y’all….I made it to chapter 108 out of 500 and some ….absolutely absurd number one to split up a story into 500 and some tiny chapters and number two it would cost me close to $250 to read this one book….to put it in perspective that’s roughly 12 books bought anywhere legitimate. Such a rip off and scam, which is a shame because I was genuinely enjoying the story..Version: 1.48.8
✓ $5 for 19 chapters $49 to finish- what?!Perhaps there is a better option and looking at the in app purchase at the bottom there seems to be an unlimited $9 option but in app there are so many options and few of them seemed to reflect what’s on this App Store page. The story seemed interesting but $5 in I’d only hit chapter 19, nothing really had happened and the app was requesting more money to unlock the 50+ remaining chapters. I would definitely not recommend this app and the only way I would read something from this author again is if the complete story was available to purchase outside of this cash grabby app. Deleting this app and warning everyone next time I see it pop up as an ad on other platforms..Version: 1.49.7
✓ OverpricedYou can read a few chapters from any book for free before you are required to spend “coins” to unlock chapters. While you can earn a few coins, the max per day is never enough to finish a book and sometimes not even a chapter. There is no option to spend coins to unlock an ENTIRE book at once. Plus, the cost to unlock a single chapter is completely random, one book had a chapter for 148 coins and another had it for 12. For reference, you can purchase 1000 coins for $9.99. Keeping that in mind, $10 will not unlock a full book. I can literally walk into a bookstore and buy a COMPLETE book for less. On top of being overpriced, in order to earn more coins I joined their Facebook group. I was given a task to “earn” 140 coins (not enough for a chapter in a book I wanted to read). I was told to write a review on GoodReads using a prewritten message about reading for free on this app. Not cool. I do not feel comfortable spamming another app to earn a few coins to unlock parts of a book. Not cool at all. Maybe the books are worth it? I will never know since downloading the app 2 weeks ago, I have started 5 separate books and haven’t gotten past 10 chapters on any of them..Version: 1.47.3
✓ Great App BUT to expensiveThis app is really great, and I love the stories and writers on this app. But the cost is ridiculous!!! £40-£70 to read 1 story. (This includes building and using the daily coins.) It is just not realistic. For that cost, I want a signed physical copy!! Prices per chapter are not consistent. 1 chapter can cost 15 coins, another 120. Both chapters are the same length. It just proves the app does not value the readers. They are just money hungry. I understand this app needs to make money, but I’m not aware that the correct people are getting majority of the payments. I will no longer be using this app and deleting it. I have a number of book friends that also feel the same. It is a shame..Version: 1.49.11
✓ Rip offSo you have to buy “tokens” to be able to read a chapter not the full book a chapter! The book I was reading as good but the chapters were small and they all cost a different amount of tokens so unless you wanting to spend a small fortune just to be able to finish a book then go for it for me personally it’s not worth it when you can read better books on KU or just buy a book.Version: 1.49.0
✓ Good book, long to unlockI am enjoying the book so far. Unfortunately I chose a book with a lot of chapters so it will take me a long time to get the coins to unlock them all but it’ll be my leisure reading..Version: 1.48.0
✓ App / Terrible customer supportIf I could rate it lower I would. They take your coins and trying to contact them for help is out of the question. They ignore your emails constantly! I have tried to contact them many times over a 2 week period to get my issue resolved even through a different email address when they started ignoring my emails. This is ridiculous! The app is designed to benefit them and not you. They have terrible customer support so don’t expect to get your money back if you paid. I definitely do NOT recommend getting this app!.Version: 1.41.3
✓ Daily coins don’t loadReally enjoying the book I’m reading but it’s impossible to even read 1 chapter a day as the daily check in coins aren’t loading. Even with watching the extra videos to get coins that’s only 20 and you need at least 35 ??? Need to spend well over $100 to read 1 book.Version: 1.48.5
✓ App is getting ridiculousI used to love this app but now it has become awful. It keeps taking my coins away before the 7 days are up. If I do one of the tasks it doesn’t give me the rewards half the time. And the chapter take an absurd amount of coins to unlock, you can’t even make enough coins one day to unlock even one chapter. It used to be like 8 or 9 coins for a chapter and now it’s up to 50 and 100 coins for ONE chapter. And the worst part is that it will relock some books after a certain amount of time, and it says it won’t but it does. It’s just to expensive and has to many downside now..Version: 1.49.11
✓ Obvious plagiarism, poor to no editing, buggy, expensiveI got lured in by a good story before realizing that the app is pretty problematic. You have a few unlocked chapters before you have to start unlocking them with coins, and the coins can be purchased or acquired by performing certain tasks (checking in, reading). Occasionally, you can acquired bonus points for watching more ads, but I’ve had a bunch not load and wasted my time trying to acquire these coin. The chapters can vary wildly in the number of coins needed to unlock them, and the writers must be paid by the chapter because some of the stories have hundreds of chapters. While the story I’m currently committed to finishing is actually well-written and edited, the vast majority are not. Many are clearly plagiarized from other apps and/or written by non-English speakers (or maybe a bad Google translation) so the story is incomprehensible. Once I finish the one book I’m reading, I’m deleting this app..Version: 1.49.4
✓ DO NOT DOWNLOAD SPAMI downloaded this all and it’s someone infiltrated my WhatsApp and constantly adds photos to my iPhone. Once I do not open and I’ve blocked them and they still add hundreds of photos to my iPhone gallery. I don’t know how they do it. I’ve deleted the app, blocked them on WhatsApp and I can’t stop it. Don’t do it!.Version: 1.49.6
✓ Miss me with thisI think it’s great for authors to be compensated for their work, however this app is mind bogglingly expensive. A book with 125 locked chapters at 25 coins each would cost me almost $55!! This is crazy to me when official, published books that have been proofread and edited usually cost between $30 to $40. Some of the works on here I’d be pushed to spend $10 total on, nevermind $0.50 per chapter..Version: 1.10.2
✓ Scamming for moneyThis app has good books for you to read and different genres but I just got this app less than 2 weeks ago and have already spent $100 to read considering just the first couple chapters of each book are free. On top of that depending on the book you read it can cost up to 145 coins just to read one chapter. This app isn’t cheap even with the subscription you’ll still have to pay more money once you use all the coins they give you for signing up for their subscription. VERY DISAPPOINTED and honestly done spending my money on a app just for me not to be able to finish the book..Version: 1.49.21
✓ Most expensive novel appAt 80 coins a chapter ( and short chapters) this app is the most expensive I’ve come across and as much as some of the novels are interesting the cost is insane and works out at over $70 a novel in-some cases which is crazy - don’t bother downloading.Version: 1.49.20
✓ Another one you need to spend money to readThe free chapters are offered to get you hooked on the book then you must pay money to continue reading the story. All ads for it say it’s completely free but it’s not, false advertising for sure..Version: 1.48.0
✓ Great stories but overall too expensiveGreat stories but value for money this app is a rip off even with the memberships available. There are other apps that charge under $80 aud per year with access to the whole entire app. I’m sorry but you guys are just being greedy. And it’ll never change as long as consumers are stupid enough to pay it.Version: 1.47.1
✓ How are these justified?Literally so unaffordable. The book i started reading has 200+ chapters that costs 58 points to unlock 1 chapter, I would have to spend over £70 just to read 1 book. How is this justified? How are people actually doing this, am I missing the trick here, I don’t understand! All these apps are the same, ridiculously expensive for sub par un-published books..Version: 1.48.7
✓ PriceI unlocked 2 chapters I watched idk how many ads to unlock them and now you guys want 59 coins and ur prices are to expensive so now I can’t finish the darn book I started and il wait til lori publishes her book so I can buy it. I’m disappointed..Version: 1.48.4
✓ To expensive to read the storiesYou are constantly prompted to spend more money to unlock the next chapters. After spending $25 on a story I was enjoying, I was going to have to spend another $30 to progress. What a racket. The story was good but it didn’t appear to be reviewed by an editor. There are lots of mistakes. That’s not a big deal, I can still enjoy a story with errors, but for the money that expected to be shelled out to finish a story, the writing needs to be perfect. I deleted the app because I don’t like to feel like I am being scammed. If you have money to burn and don’t mind paying $80+ on one story then this is the app for you. Before a developer gets on and tells me I can earn bonus coins, I have been wasting quite a bit of time to earn these bonus coins. It’s not worth it..Version: 1.47.3
✓ AwfulDoesn’t give coins daily or even when you complete things for rewards. So slow and impossible to read anything. Not enjoyable.Version: 1.49.4
✓ Too expensiveIt’s disappointingly too expensive. The app needs to come up with a better paying system. It’s just far too expensive. They would be better off with a monthly or yearly subscription based paying system. You have to earn coins to unlock chapters. I’m currently reading one of the books on the app and there’s just under 600 chapters in it, so far I’ve spent $100 Australian dollars yet I’m only up to chapter 194! The chapters are very short and each chapter you need approximately 50 coins to unlock it. Earning the free bonus coins per day sometimes isn’t enough to unlock 1 chapter. So this book is either going to end up costing me hundreds of dollars which is not affordable to finish reading, or 3 years by the time I’ve managed to earn enough bonus coins every couple of days to unlock 1-2 chapters every couple of days. I may just have to not finish the book, count my losses and just read books off Galatea which is more affordable with their subscription ($98 AUD for a yearly subscription). I can read however many books as I like without needing coins to unlock chapters. As much as I would love to continue reading books on this app, it’s just not affordable..Version: 1.48.7
✓ It feels a little scamishThe books are well written but the amount coins needed is my issue. The chapters are short and are soooo very expensive like 56-70 plus coins. So if you buy 9.99 dollars and get 1000 coins it will barely get you through 20-30 chapters because you each chapters is almost 70 coins each. Then you barely earn bonus coins to offset the price. Then the books are never ending so do the math. The never ending books would be great if they were sooooo expensive. But here’s the kicker!! If you want extra bonus coins you have to join this WhatsApp only to have to painfully go through each group to find the weird cods only to not be able to still not afford a chapter. Oh and the help feature is not very helpful it’s probably the most complicated I’ve ever seen on pay by chapter apps. I hate that the books are good and I wish the authors would take their business to other apps. I unfortunately will have to leave get rid of this app..Version: 1.48.6
✓ Extremely Expensive - Feel ScammedPaid hundreds to keep reading the number one book on their list (which, credit to the author, was amazing) but then the weekly updates stopped being uploaded and I have only just found out that the author is boycotting the platform, as it has been allowing plagiarism of their work. I have tried every option available to contact support for a refund on my unused coins but nothing will load or send through. It feels like a complete scam!!!.Version: 1.49.2
✓ ExtortionThe stories are good but the prices you have to pay to read them are extortionate. For example I’m currently reading the king of the underworld & if I paid to release all chapters I’d be paying £120. It’s a good book but I refuse to pay that ridiculous amount..Version: 1.48.5
✓ Too slow unlocking chaptersI liked the look of and started reading first 8 chapters free then you have to either buy coins or earn coins by watching ads, reading, login daily each chapter is about 4-5 pages and costs between 23-56 coins there’s 514 chapters in the book its going to take around 20,000+ coins and two years to read a book sorry but this is ridiculous I think I’ll cut my losses and quit now I like to read a few chapters at a time not one every other day.Version: 1.49.2
✓ Dumb appStories are great but stupid how we have to unlock chapters using money. I miss the old wattpad where every story was FREE 🙄.Version: 1.45.0
✓ ExpensiveThe story I was trying to read is good, I even bought some coins to read further. Without purchasing you get enough coins for about a chapter per day. I wanted to read more. When you realise however that it’s 514 ‘chapters’ long and a chapter is barely more than a page of writing? It’s ridiculous! Given that each chapter cost 35 coins to unlock that’s 17,990 coins for the book, which is over £100 in real money or if your not paying and using the coins you earn then you’ll finish it in 1.4 years…….I wish I’d never started it. Go and buy any random book it will be cheaper! No wonder there are so many adverts for this app if each book is £100!…..note to self make an app and charge by the page for people to read…..it seems to work for others…🤔.Version: 1.49.0
✓ Ridiculous CostThese seemed like a great option! Sadly that diminished quickly when I had to pay over $90 US to finish the book I was reading. Why would anyone think this is reasonable for a leisurely read? I think I’ll stay with the likes of Kindle or Kobo..Version: 1.48.8
✓ Too expensive for what it’s worthThe story of “King of the Underworld” seemed interesting so I purchased coins to read and way too expensive. Better to buy a physical book or read somewhere else. Having to pay for every chapter is ridiculous. Some chapters are just too short. I would never waste money again personally speaking as there are so many great books out there , written by well known authors that are affordable and great reads..Version: 1.48.8
✓ Good books but too expensiveSo far good stories however the chapters are very short and extremely expensive …. Kind of ruins the experience really and the stories if your not willing to spend a fortune on one book which im not then it takes a good week to earn enough coins for on chapter which is only a couple pages long … end up loosing interest in the books as takes too long to read . Shame really.Version: 1.47.3
✓ Cost inconsistencies for chaptersI’m in the middle of my 2nd book and I’m really enjoying the author’s work. However, my complaint is the high cost to unlock chapters. On other apps, the cost is pretty set with very little cost difference per chapter. But with this app, I’ve experienced an almost 20 cent difference. As you progress with the story, the price increases. It’s expensive to read these books, because you can’t just buy the completed novels. And since the price keeps changing, you can’t accurately determine the amount of coins needed to read the current stories. I get that they’d like you to read many authors, but if it’s going to cost $20 to read a book that would be $8 for something similar in paperback, then I’ll probably just stop reading new books once I complete the 3rd novel of the series I’m on..Version: 1.9.3
✓ The War Gods Favourite.I have been loving this story but I am so disgusted. I’ve just spent an unbelievable amount of money. I’ve been charged twice instead of once for my second set of coins but I find I cannot read a lot of the chapters. There is no link to open them and it’s impossible to read them. So far I can’t read chapter’s 35, 37, 41,42,43 and I’m sure there are more . How on earth do I resolve this. My money has been stolen and I am not happy. I will be finding every way I can to report this abs retrieve my money. I will also never again fall for reading a story or stories online.... I thought “Dreams” Was bad enough but this app is far worse. I would appreciate some help as soon as possible.... I wonder do you even know how to contact me????😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬😡😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤😤.Version: 1.20.1
✓ Stories are good but way too expensiveThere are some great addictive reads on this app. But it’s way too expensive. Even if you log in everyday to get the bonus coins they disappear. My balance keeps changing. Fix the disappearing coins and lower the cost of stories..Version: 1.47.6
✓ Do not download this app! Developers please readThis app is garbage. The good book chapters are 4x the amount of points you can earn in a day, even after watching 4 adds. At first I could earn more a day, but now the app gives me less points for being on it consecutive days. Now, it looses player points I have earned. Repeatedly, I get enough for the next chapter and I go to the chapter and I’m back to zero points. This is ridiculous! I understand that you only get a certain number of points everyday but to have it be 1/4 of one chapter is stupid. Then to loose the points you were able to earn, terrible. Developers need to fix the lost points problem now, the app shouldn’t even be released with a bug so big. If I could I’d give it 0 stars. Do not download this app!.Version: 1.47.6
✓ Good stories, terrible coin systemI recently downloaded this app because a story I saw on social media caught my eye. It’s impossible to read a book by earning coins, at first I could get a chapter or two then I realized it would take me days of check ins and watching ads to earn enough coins for one chapter so I just bought coins so I could really read the book. I didn’t realize how many coins you actually need to read the whole book. I finally checked and saw how many coins are needed for the whole book and this one book would end up costing a little over $100!!! That is outrageous!! This app would be great if you could buy books outright or there was a way to actually earn rewards to really read. I saw where you can “join a group” to earn more coins but then you have to join a group of strangers on WhatsApp. Unfortunately I don’t see how this is a realistic app to get to finish books..Version: 1.49.0
✓ TerribleThis app is an absolute rip-off. It costs a small fortune to read a book - many of which aren’t finished for months/years. I just re-opened this app, and discovered that all of the books I had paid for in my “library” have disappeared completely…and I have to pay to buy them again!.Version: 1.49.15
✓ Great StoriesHowever whoever is typing up these stories needs to go to school to learn how to spell and correct grammar. Also the app keeps crashing and coming with errors. There should also be more free coins otherwise too expensive..Version: 1.41.3
✓ Unlimited is not unlimitedI read quickly and was enjoying the stories I was reading so far, so I bought the monthly unlimited subscription thinking I could read all the books on an unlimited basis. This isn’t correct. I started a book, got 5/6 of the way through and suddenly I needed to buy coins. I have no idea what this app is trying to do. Not all books are unlimited, but they certainly don’t mention that when you sign up. My favorite is I chose a supposedly unlimited book and the app says, you get to read for “free” . No, I paid for a monthly subscription, it’s not free. It’s $10. I would happily keep this app for $10/ month and read these silly, fun stories. Unfortunately, I’ve paid $20 and haven’t even been able to read a complete story with that money. Over time, if this app had given what I paid for- an unlimited subscription for the books on the app for $10- I would have stayed probably a year or more, sadly for them, I’m leaving this scam and headed back to the free elibrary. The stories are so fun, I’m bummed the app now seems shady and gross..Version: 1.43.0
✓ UnimpressedThe app was a bit difficult to navigate at first. Some of the stories are good but if you’re someone who likes to pick up a book and not put it down until it’s finished this app isn’t for you. It’s very expensive to unlock the whole book and the daily free coins seem to keep mysteriously disappearing before you get a chance to unlock anything. Very unimpressed..Version: 1.26.0
✓ Don’t bother downloadingThe chapters are too short and also so expensive. Paid for a 1 month unlimited doesn’t even work..Version: 1.46.2
✓ Get better ads on your app!I love reading from this app but when I try to use the ads to get coins feature, it puts the closing button within an area that I can’t click on so I am never able to close out of the ad and I have to just fully close out of the app. I get that Samsung is different from iPhone but they need to have it work for every phone type. This is just getting ridiculous. It has been happening for the past few days that I can’t close out of the ad after it’s finished or even before it is finished and it’s infuriating. Please design it better or get better ads. I’m most likely not the only one but will be the one to speak my mind on it. If the devs fix it or help me figure out what to do, by all means, I’ll take this down but for now, I needed to say something..Version: 1.48.7
✓ This is not a good appDO NOT DOWNLOAD THE APP! It’s like a rip off of Wattpad. It’s super weird.Version: 1.11.3
✓ Changing to 1 star because my credits keep disappearingI use the free daily coins to get new chapters but sometimes my free coins just disappear. Sometimes it will show I have like 15 or something and then once i click the button to claim more all of a sudden I now have 0 coins instead of 22. I’m not spending $50 per book to unlock all the chapters for an unpublished, unedited work. I enjoy reading on here but the glitches are making it more and more frustrating to continue wanting to use this platform no matter how much I like the story. I’ve had at least 80 coins disappear on me like that. So frustrating. After i wrote my first review i still keep having credits disappear and no it is not because they expire because I spend them on chapters as soon as I have enough to do so. Fix your glitches and give all your readers some free credits for wasting our time..Version: 1.41.3
✓ Bonus coins!!Was disappointed to find I didn’t get my bonus coins when I sent link to friend and they joined. They got their free coins but I never received mine. Which I’m gutted about as those coins would of been used for the last few chapters of a book I’m reading. Buying coins is expensive, I brought some to read a book but wasn’t enough for whole book that’s why I was hoping to use some bonus coins. Won’t be recommending to friends if I don’t get my reward!.Version: 1.8.0
✓ Its bugging out.Love the app, but its been kicking me out every time i try to get into the app, would start to upload then jump out of it, really frustrating, when i want to jump into the books im reading..Version: 1.45.2
✓ Why such high rating for crappy app?Oh where do I start? Answer to the title… they gave “coins” to people who posted a review. They will sucker you in with an ad read. Then you download. Then you have to earn coins to unlock chapters or purchase coins if you want to do it quicker. The chapters are not even full chapters. They’re like sections of a chapter so a book that would have 15 chapters now has 60 or more. You could earn coins on Facebook groups, but then they changed it to the WhatsApp, where you still got a daily bonus for a while till recently they removed that. Now they have challenges you have to do if they list them for the book you’re reading. And let’s not forget the weekly lottery that they have to earn coins. And then, when you call them out about it, the administrators delete your comments..Version: 1.48.2
✓ Read for 60 minutes didn’t get 20 pointsI just read for 60 minutes and I did not get my bonus 20 points please explain it fix/out into my points please.Version: 1.41.3
✓ Really unhappy, missing credits, poor serviceI have only had my account since July. I have made a couple of purchases but had some credits missing, which were returned before I could contact them. I, thankfully, decided to wait to make sure it was not a regular is. I log in every day to get the rewards done and ways saving up to unlock a story so I could read it uninterrupted and only needed about 50 credits to unlock the whole rest of the story (I had over 911 credits) and when I collected my rewards it showed as me only having 489 credits. I sent a message through support and it took 6 days for them to send me a form letter telling me to check my purchases. I have not made a purchase at all since September 6, 2021. The math doesn’t add up, even an idiot can see it why send me a message implying I am stupid and just spent over 500 credits at once when there is no purchase for more than 50 credits at any one time? I think they should look before imply their customers who spend money are stupid… *Update* Apparently, even when you buy credits with real money, they expire in a month. They really should tell you that but apparently they don’t… Guess I am going to delete this app and go to Wattpad….Version: 1.37.0
✓ Coin system sucksThe stories I’ve read here are great; kudos to the authors However, I can’t even *finish* a story. I’ve joined the groups to get the coins and I watch the videos and everything. It says there’s a 7 day timer for coins to expire. Okay, fair enough. However, the coins I’ve redeemed for the past 2 days (40 coins) have both expired today, before the seven day period. This happened with my other coins as well. So now that I’m at a point where the chapters are half the length of cheaper chapters, and at the cost of 60 coins per chapter, what’s the point? It takes three days to make up that many coins without watching ads, and I don’t have time to pay attention to my phone all day for 3 coins per ad. Unless you’re willing to spend a ridiculous amount of money, don’t get this app..Version: 1.49.2
✓ Is this true?I have gotten a warning that this game is watching me through my phone screen this may be a lie from a website or another app i have though other than that the app is pretty good unfortunately I will definitely not be keeping this app.Version: 1.43.1
✓ Great app but expensiveThe stories are really good and the writing is captivating. I believe purchasing the coins is too expensive even with a 50% off top up fee the cost should be lower. On top of the daily checking in or reading challenge it would be nice to have more options to earn free coins. I do use other book apps where you can earn coins for checking in 10 days in a row; you can also earn bonus coins by watching short advertisement videos. It would be nice if this app could use those options so that we could earn free coins quicker. I would’ve definitely gave it a higher rating if the costs were lower or you had more options to earn free coins..Version: 1.45.0
✓ So expensive!!!!I so badly wanted to love this app. At first it was great, there were tons of books to choose from and the writing was great. And then I started actually reading the books. The amount of money you have to spend to read a full book is insane. I bought $50 worth of coins, with a first time bonus. Guess how many books that got me? ONE. That’s ridiculous. The coins to unlock need to be cheaper or there have to be more ways to earn coins or unlock chapters. I would even be interested in a subscription service where you get to read a certain number of books per week or month. But this current model, isn’t sustainable. I can’t afford to spend $50 on a book!.Version: 1.48.6
✓ Expensive af...This is a common problem bit... you have yo pay SO MUCH. Like the stories actually look/read like good quality stuff - like detailed, well thought plots - but to get coins to buy chapters, you have to pay. There is no option to watch ads for coins, or complete surveys. Also, the chapters cost a lot of coins, which means you can’t read chapters often without spending a shameful amount of money. Really..Version: 1.8.3
✓ Don’t waste your time. Feels like a scam.It’s felt a little sketch but figured I’d give it a chance, so here’s where it FEELS LIKE A SCAM…you have one message that says 20 coins to subscribe your email & another that’s says 30, but I definitely didn’t get either. It showed up as 10 coins and I sat through ads to get to 32 coins to unlock chapter 9 that was supposed to cost 28 to unlock. Then I need 23 to unlock chapter 10, except now my coin balance is at 0 again. I mean, the stories were fine-good concepts with mediocre writing. But you will waste more time watching ads to get chapters unlocked than reading. Or you can pay them for coins to unlock the mediocre fan-fic type stories. Instead I just deleted the app, but wanted to be sure to leave this review to let everyone know DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME!!.Version: 1.48.5
✓ Expensive and misleading!The way the coin system works is deceiving. I cannot find a spot where it will tell me how many coins it will be to read the entire book. You use the coins to unlock the next few chapters. Based on the number of chapters in this book, and how much I’ve already paid, I’m going to be into the hundreds of dollars to read this book..Version: 1.48.7
✓ OptionalIt is a great app, but could you add a way to earn coins (by watching an ad) or make it so you have to wait an hour or something after each chapter you read before reading the next chapter..Version: 1.8.0
✓ ReviewVery good story but it costs me too much to read one novel it cost me over a hundred dollars Canadian.Version: 1.49.20
✓ Subscription???How do I subscribe, can’t find it in the app..Version: 1.48.6
✓ Unknown spend…..Fell in love with the characters for 3 chapters……then needed to buy coins……the unfortunate part of this model is you have no way of knowing how much a book will end up costing you. 🤷🏼♀️ it could be $20 or it could be $80. It would be great if there was an insight into that or a capped cost. More than expecting to pay to read but knowing the cost up front would make me more likely to purchase..Version: 1.49.0
✓ InconsistentI loved this app at first. Now they’ve changed the number of free points to read chapters without any notice, and they skip chapters when you do have enough points. It should go chapter by chapter, not taking your points without your permission to skip the current chapter for one 1-2 chapters ahead. Not impressed. Now I have several chapters in one book that have been skipped. Honestly makes me want to delete the app. This is a new problem, at least for me..Version: 1.48.5
✓ Too expensiveThe app works well and has some good stories but they’re just too expensive regardless of whether the authors are “top” authors you don’t want to be spending £/$ 30+ to read one book. And although you can get some free coins daily that gets you about 1 chapter per day which is about 3 minutes reading time so isn’t worth the hassle and it takes the joy out of reading it..Version: 1.48.5
✓ Good but expensiveIf I had realised how this app works I would never have downloaded it. Having got into a book it then charges you money to open more chapters, if it was simply to buy the book is £x then that would be more informative but it ends up charging you twice at least more that I would pay for a new best seller to read the whole book. The concept it great but not at all realistic in its prices..Version: 1.43.0
✓ Rip offI enjoyed the idea behind this app, however after spending a good chunk on coins, was dismayed I could not even finish my first book! Two starts for the good book I was reading only..Version: 1.49.2
✓ Bonus CoinsDaily I get the error stating that “oops, an error occurred, please try again later” when getting bonus coins (daily for reading and the 20 given out at 4 coins a shot). When refreshing the App it does not give those coins back but simply takes that opportunity away. Time consuming to watch all the commercials to get those coins but to take them away because your site has issues is beyond frustrating. I lose out on 4 to sometimes 20 (as it happened this evening) coins making it that much longer before I can unlock the next chapter. Trying to get anyone to help is non existent. Beyond disappointed..Version: 1.49.2
✓ Horrendously expensive way to read a bookSeriously, spend 1/4 the amount and go to your local book store. It was ridiculous how much I had to spend just to ‘unlock’ the next chapters. I will be deleting this App..Version: 1.48.8
✓ No coins granted after watching adsWatching an ad in it’s entirety only to be told “ad failed to load” no coins are granted. Contacted customer service who told me it’s my server issue… umm no.. the ad loaded fine and I watched it. No reply after that. Some chapters were asking for 50+ coins to unlock chapter which meant 2-3 days of collecting coins before reading. So many other great apps out there, avoid this one..Version: 1.48.8
✓ App Glitching Since Last UpdateHave loved this app but it’s glitching horribly since the last update. Please please fix!.Version: 1.46.2
✓ Astronomical Prices and a Deceptive Business ModelThis app requires you to pay astronomical prices for books, many of which are incomplete. I started reading a book with introductory free coins. I was interested in it so I decided to purchase a large amount of coins for $50. I thought with that much money, I would be able to read for months. I quickly found out I was wrong. That $50 allowed me to read a single book. Actually, that book isn’t complete so I paid $50 to read part of a book. Unbelievable. When I realized how quickly the coins were being used, I purchase the unlimited subscription. I thought since it’s unlimited that it give allow me access to all the books. I started reading a new book that I was interested in finishing. But I got a short percentage in and was prompted to purchase more coins. That’s when I realized that the term unlimited is intentionally deceptive. What’s unlimited about only being able to read only some but not all of the library of books? To summarize, I spent $110 to read one incomplete story, and to read a few chapters of another story only to find out unlimited is not unlimited. I have no idea how they get anyone to pay these prices. I don’t know how anyone can afford it. They’re ridiculous..Version: 1.46.2
✓ Who has the money to spend!The book I started reading was great but when I worked out how much I’d have to spend to compete it I was astounded! It should not cost you over £100 to finish a book. Sneaky making each chapter a couple of pages and increasing the “coins” you need to unlock the next chapter. Greedy and there’s no need for it..Version: 1.48.6
✓ Fraudulent appGot charged multiple times on my credit card and did not even assist with refund.Version: 1.47
✓ Total Rip off - don’t get sucked inThis app is seriously not worth it. The stories themselves are not worth the money. I found a story I was interested in reading because I got sucked in and being a avid reader, I purchased 4,000 coins for 30 dollars (although I was charged over 44.) that only got me to chapter 64 out of over 200 chapters. If I wanted to get the whole book it would cost me more than 150 dollars for it. I have several College Nursing Textbooks that cost less than that! The story itself wasn’t bad even if it was full of spelling mistakes and I’m disappointed that I can’t read the whole thing, but I’m not shelling out that much money when I can get kindle unlimited for 10 bucks a month and get to read the whole book instead of having to unlock each chapter. It’s a total scam. Don’t waste your money..Version: 1.49.7
✓ Be prepared to spend $$$It’s sad really, this is a good app worn a great concept however your gonna get price gouged. For example I started this amazing book but it’s 500 chapters, the chapters are all a few pages each. Your progressively get charged more and more for each chapter. I have spent over $50 in credits and am only 1/3 MAYBE into the book. It said i will need to buy 19,000 credits to read the entire book. That’s well over $100 in credits. It’s disgusting really how much they charge. And you don’t get many “free” credits a day like I have seen them respond to some people. The underworld book is so good, the writing is sooo good. But I’m put in a position to either be ripped off of stop reading the book. To be honest spending over $50 I have already been ripped off. Sad sad..Version: 1.48.6
✓ Good stories but too expensiveThe stories are good but they are too expensive and the way to earn coins keeps getting reduced and the amount of coins you can earn keeps reducing as well. I used to be able to read 2 chapters a day, and now it would take me 2-3 days to earn coins to read just one chapter. I have now stopped using this app because not worth it.Version: 1.47.5
✓ Manipulative money grabFor the half story I read it was really good. But then I signed up for the membership/free trial, nothing was free and the stories were still locked. I figured that must mean the coins would be on credit or something so I tried to get them, but was instead charged for an unlimited member as well as coins that should’ve been included. Now they refuse to do a refund. Basically being charged for the same thing twice..Version: 1.47
✓ Expensive and misleadingIt gives you the option to continue reading for $4.99 but then takes £4.99 in UK Sterling only to find out that’s not the book just a few more chapters, then you’re expected to keep Paying for more short chapters so the book would be about £30! What a ridiculous way to charge instead of by the book..Version: 1.48.7
✓ I like itAt first I didn’t care for this app. If you don’t buy the monthly unlimited access it’s not that great. Takes forever to accumulate coins to read chapters unless you buy them which gets expensive. As you’re reading there’s a 30 min unlimited claim button, click that for a trial or $0.99 for 150 mins but then it gives you the option for $18/month for unlimited books/chapters. Subscribe to this as it is so much cheaper! That’s the only place I could find that option, I haven’t seen it offered anywhere else… yet. So far the book I’m reading good, I love and hate how you can highlight and comment throughout the story because numbers will appear next to that chapter showing how many comments, I find it a litt distracting..Version: 1.49.0
✓ Lie in advertising and horrible customer serviceOn google search any stories says you can read “full story to read online for free now”, but you can only read to chapter 9 before being asked to pay to open each chapter. Old bait and switch… Update: they reached out to say they have free reads and bonus coins, etc, but those are hard to get and only a few here and there. One chapter cost 72 coins to open! I would have to wait darn near 2-4 weeks to read a single chapter of the book they baited me into reading. Also, I tried to contact their customer service, and it’s the worst customer service ever. Period. There was no help other than to tell me that I needed to join their Facebook help group.. this was even more of an insult. Of course the group is monitored so nothing gets posted without them seeing it, and they won’t post anything negative. They just keep telling you the same thing as this developer responded to say. ” Hi you can get free bonus to keep read. Ads, check in, and reading challenge. We also have more daily bonus games in our social media. Enjoy.” They have all said almost exactly the same thing…. Do not get sucked into this shady app. If you have to get customers by promising one thing, but only being able to offer something else that is not as good, you’re not a good company. Beware..Version: 1.47.3
✓ $80 for one bookThis app seems to have fine content, but if you want to read a book you’ll either have to save up on 3-10 “bonus coins” by logging in every day for god knows how long, or pay nearly a hundred dollars to finish in a reasonable amount of time. The pricing system is not transparent, and when I tried to read my first book I didn’t realize how expensive it would be to finish until I was a fair way into the story. There’s no reason why there couldn’t be a price upfront, so it seems like a strategy to get you hooked and then ask you to buy x number of coins for the low low price of $50 (without mentioning that this number of coins will not, in fact, get you to the end of the book). It’s a shame because I like the concept of the comments within the book and a system that allows you to support smaller authors, but there is just no way this pricing system (even with the teeny tiny bonus options) can be sustainable. For context, my next chapter costs over $100 coins — the cheapest coin package is 1,000 for $9.99, and this book has well over 100 (very short) chapters..Version: 1.49.7
✓ Not freeThank you for getting me so excited to read King of the Underworld only to find out you lied about it being free! No way in hell will I spend hundreds of dollars for one book! I would have gladly spent a monthly fee or a one time fee but paying for every chapter is ridiculous! Shame because that author is incredible.Version: 1.48.2
✓ RidiculousYou’ve got to be kidding! The only way you can EVER get coins for free is by inviting a friend, getting them to download the app and sign in using the link. That’s it. Absolutely ridiculous. At least the other app “Draeme” gives you bonus coins on a daily basis and gives you new tasks to get bonus coins. Even the app “Readict” lets you read for free, with the occasional advert that you can skip almost immediately. This app is just a poor excuse at forcing everyone to pay a ridiculous amount of money, around £6 depending on amount of chapters and price of chapters, for a book that isn’t even a full length book!! I’ve just bought a brand new box set of 15 books for £28, you won’t get even close to that amount of books on this app. Absolutely disgusting. I hope your app goes completely bust and you’re only left with your shame!!.Version: 1.11.3
✓ Don’t waste time on this unfair appFrom all the readings apps that I use this is by far the worst. Their point system to unlock each chapter is unreliable, and varies depending on what story you’re reading and how far along you are in the book. If for example it took you 25 points to unlock chapter 6 it might take you 77 points to unlock chapter 12. Therefore, not only do they make it very hard to earn any free points, but they switch up how much you will need to unlock chapters for free. So buying their bundles is super expensive and unreliable since they will up the points needed to unlock a chapter on you whenever they please. Truly fraudulent. Save your time and read on other apps. I have no problem buying coins/points/stars in other apps where I know they aren’t trying to cheat me out of more money. This app is a scam..Version: 1.49.0
✓ ExpensiveIt’s a good app, just gets expensive to read a whole book, so unless you have a lot of money to constantly keep unlocking chapters it’s not really worth it. There’s ways to get free chapters but it takes to long. Wish there was a way to read a whole book without having to pay a fortune and paying more than you would to buy the actual book.Version: 1.49.0
✓ Mixed feelingsThe app is easy to use and it is great that there are new authors to explore. What makes me rate this as 3 stars is that it is an expensive way to buy books. The books also haven’t been proofed enough so spelling and grammar isn’t always correct, and that can be irritating..Version: 1.41.3
✓ Great stories but extremely expensiveI started reading a really good and well written book but the further I read the more each chapter cost to unlock and the shorter the chapters got. Not impressed that I spent $30 on it and that wasn’t enough to unlock the whole book. $30 is more then what I would spend on a physical book let alone an e-book. Will be deleting the app not worth the cost to read.Version: 1.48.8
✓ Too expensiveI’ve been using this app for a while now and I must say they do have some good books but it’s too expensive. I can buy a whole 1000 or more of coin and it takes a couple chapters. I once finished a whole entire book buying to unlock the chapters but after a while I went back to reread the book it was locked again which I don’t understand why since I already paid to unlock all the chapters. I find myself going back to Wattpad and a couple of other platforms that are less expensive. Now it’s taking me almost 50 bucks to finish an entire book . I just hope you guys can work out something more affordable for us. I would like to continue reading but for it’s just too expensive..Version: 1.48.0
✓ Just okayHi the app is okay. I find myself going back to wattpad more. For AnyStories, there a Facebook group and what app group which you can be more interactive with the writers of the stories. You can also be interactive with the groups on WhatsApp more. There the admins have created groups where you can interact more with your peers. Some of the groups that they have created are shifter/supernatural, mafia romance, fantasy etc. In the app AnyStories you can read the first 5 or 6 chapters for free, after you need to coins/ bonus to unlock the rest of the chapters. Here is where Facebook and WhatsApp will be your friends. On FB you can join there group and there daily bonus posted on there page. On WhatsApp there are daily codes that are generated. It all depends on what your preference are. AnyStories has a very of stories like werewolves, fantasy romance, Erotica, Dom/Bdsm etc. Overall I think it’s just to much to be going back and forward between WhatsApp and Facebook to be connecting extra bonus. If everything is kept on one platform it would or might be easier..Version: 1.48.0
✓ Good untilWas amazing reading the books when I had paid for a monthly subscription but then over 4 months was having problems with it and it wouldn’t work even though I was paying for it I gave up reading the books I shouldn’t have to pay more money on what I was already paying for. Do you not do this anymore as it shows in the details for the app but not in the appt itself..Version: 1.47.4
✓ Rip off!!!You have to pay per chapter. Some chapters are only like 4 pages too! Cannot just buy an entire book. For me to purchase every chapter of one single book it would be over $200.00! This app is horrible. Such a scam!.Version: 1.49.0
