I hate it say read for free then make you buy coins
DO NOT DOWN LOAD THIS APP!!! Cash grab SCAM! First impressions on the book I was reading, all chapters appeared to be free, that's how they hook you to download. Then they want to start charging 13 coins per chapter. You would think 1k coins would get you far, right? WRONG!! They up the ante when those coins run out and suddenly want to charge over 100 coins per chapter!! DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP!!! EDIT: Response from the developer is so delusional! 100 coins = $200+ per book!! Disgusting!!!
no option for free chapters via ads etc
Just another lier. you can watch like 6 ads to read two chapters and that it. its not in any way free. in fact to read the over worded story im current "reading" would cost about 120 dollars and 70%of it is filler.
They try to hook you with a few free chapters that are longer. Then you only get a short amount for free each day unleas you want to pay. The fee schedule is epensive for what it is poorly written stories and poor editing. I'd rather pay for KU. It's an international company so beware of international charges on your credit or debit card depending on your card's terms of service.
As an avid reader, I love to read as much as possible.I love this app with a great passion.But the only thing about it is that they want you to pay a lot of coins.Just to be able to continue reading honestly, I would have loved a lot better.If I could just watch ads, it'll be much easier.
Great books but the cost is way to high.. 9.99 for about 10 chapters and most points avaliable to earn don't let you watch ads to get them. Only keeping till I finish the book I started then removing.
i was really enjoying the app - while $$$ the stories are well written. I understand that the quality is higher because they pay their authors. i use the 3 free chapt & ads to to unlock & dont read til I have large chunks unlocked i splurged on a subscription & now all the books I unlocked with coins are relocked - & i dont have the energy to start over
