★★★★ Toni C 6/24/2026 v19.1.0
40 chapters into a 50 chapter story which is now subscribers only.... Some stories have premium chapters which you need points to unlock but it doesn't tell you before you start and you can't skip that chapter. Edit: in response to the dev's reply this was a free download book that you have changed to subscription only 💩 Update: would change my review to 0 stars if I could. Was reading a new story that had a 6 hour wait per chapter. It is now up to a 26hr/chapter and I'm not even halfway...
★★★★ John Goolsby 6/23/2026 v19.2.0
I did give this 4 stars originally and then I got a few chapters in and it said I had to pay. I'm very disappointed! I have gotten rid of the app.
★★★★ Stephanie Hedge 6/23/2026 v19.2.0
I was really liking the book I was reading. I just wish there was away I could just watch ads to keep reading. poor people can't always afford $6 a month. I sure wish I could. EDIT: Well I got the $6, but it wants me to pay for the full year up front. I have already gained all my free points. What know? EDIT: JUST DELETED THE APP. SO UNCALLED FOR! I WILL READ BOOKS ELSEWHERE!
★★★★ L SISSON 6/23/2026
App added Harlequin & app since 50% or less of usefulness now...
★★★★★ Rachael 6/24/2026 v19.2.0

★★★★★ Reshma Shetty 6/24/2026 v19.2.0
its not free,u need to pay after reading 2 chapters
★★★★★ MadDog 6/24/2026 v19.2.0
the chapters for free vs what they cost isn't worth it.
★★★★★ Erika Moore 6/23/2026 v19.2.0
Great books just wish you could earn points for chapters easier and more than 1.
★★★★★ Angie Willemse 6/23/2026 v19.2.0
books are entertaining but the adds and point system is frustrating
★★★★★ Kate Adjei Danso 6/23/2026 v19.2.0
Nice reading app, but it's too expensive
★★★★★ Chéri Ludwig 6/22/2026 v19.1.0
would be much better read if not having to use or by points. not liking that at all. other apps use 1 to 3 ads to open each chapter and screenshot would be helpful when errors are found so the author can correct.
