AnyStories-Good Novels & Books Positive Reviews
Any Stories Book AppI recently downloaded this book app. They have a large variety of fiction novels. From what I see so far, most books have the first couple chapters unlocked. Some have more chapters unlocked then others. You do need to use coins to unlock the rest of the chapters. You can purchase more or earn them by various ways. Such as, signing in every day (they increase), watching ads, or linking your email.
The do have books in the app that are free to read. I'm still learning which ones are completely free. It's fairly easy to go to the table of contents to look up all the chapters and see which ones are locked. They also have group chats with daily redemption codes, book suggestions, favorite author, etc. The app itself is very user friendly. Easy to find new books to read and browse by various categories.
I do wish it was easier to read the summery of these books before you open it up to the first chapter. I click on a book to see it for the first time and the first chapter opens up immediately. Then I try to click on the very top for the tool bar to open so I can check the chapters and summary. The tool bar doesn't always open right away. It usually takes me a couple clicks..Player220Version: 1.48.0
Good stories and variety, but…I love the variety of stories available on the app and I’ve started reading several different ones, but this whole premise using coins to unlock chapters really bothers me. Sure, you can complete small tasks or come back every day to earn bonus coins, but if you are a binge reader, you will go insane with how slowly you have to read a book if you go solely based on bonus coins. If you decide to buy coins to unlock chapters, you run into the problem of paying WAY too much for a book that isn’t edited very well or sometimes, just poorly written. And you never know how much a book will end up costing you. In one book I’m reading on the app, I unlocked one chapter for 27 coins. The very next chapter was 66 coins!!! I still think the stories available are entertaining, but I wish there was a way to buy a book outright or at least know how much you’re going to spend on a book… but I guess if the app was that transparent, no one would use it. Bottom line: The app has some good stories, but be aware and proceed with caution..LadyTC229Version: 1.48.0
I love this appI love all the different types of stories about shifters. I’ve been reading this app for about two years now it takes me away puts me in a whole New World. I’ve told my friends about it and recommended it. I wish we can get more coins when we’re reading for so long because it takes several days to get enough coins to read one chapter. That’s the only complaint I really have oh and then that some author stop writing because some problems between the app creator, and I’ll be invested in that story then I spent money on coins, and now I’ve read this book or an entire series that I cannot finish because the author decided to stop writing, and I have to go to a different platform to finish. The book is kind of disappointing also..NyshabooVersion: 1.48.2
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..City of iceVersion: 1.48.0
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..Cudd65Version: 1.49.23
Great stories but very expensiveI downloaded this app to read a story that I found on social media. I find that their stories are better than many of these apps however the ability to earn points is minimal making these stories exceedingly expensive. It would be great if they offered more options to earn points such as watching advertising or more points for check-in’s. I have also found that it does not calculate my reading time very well so it’s hard to earn points in that fashion..Nameless one 1962Version: 1.29.0
AnyStoriesDo you love to read, this is the app for you. Download free novels on werewolves, romance, witches, good/bad, evil. You can even decide how juicy you want your stories to be, rated PG, R or even leave nothing to the imagination and go X-rated. Check in daily to get coins, you can purchase if you decide to read a novel that is not free or just accumulate the free coins to open the chapters until you have downloaded enough to read. Many ways to get novels!
The only thing I don’t like is when authors write books with thousands of chapters. There should be a cap, if you can’t wrap up a story in a few hundred chapters you most likely have too many tangents happening (which could be additional books), or you are repeating behaviors of characters. Wrap it up for readers!!.JamrlaVersion: 1.48.4
I like it but needs some workI love the book selection on the app. There’s a lot of choices so there’s something for everyone. However, I have bought coins twice and had some left over and went to use them on a different book an hour or so later and they’re gone or I’ll have coins left over from checking in and want to add them to the next day’s check in only for those to be gone. I thought they were removed after a week? Why remove them in the first place? We don’t get a lot of coins from the app check in and reading rewards and most people can’t buy coins all the time to unlock chapters. You have to work with people instead of taking coins after a couple of hours..BrandyJP11Version: 1.48.0
Good App But They Need To Fix Some StuffDon’t get me wrong I love to read these stories even if the book is poorly edited. The book still lets me escape this world for just a bit. I have no issue with gaining the coins I will do it for a book I like reading. But the thing is the chapters for the books no matter how good the plot is they cost too much. And another thing that makes this rating a 4 instead of a five is that the WhatsApp link doesn’t work at least not for me. I’ve tried so hard to get it to work but it won’t and all I want is the coins. If y’all could maybe change this stuff then this rating would be a 5..Clarissa ReadVersion: 1.49.21
Best novels from any app!!This app has the best novels especially werewolf novels! I assure you that some of these stories can only be found here. The chapters can be pricey but are well worth it. I deducted one star because I miss the fb group tasks & comments. I try to keep up on the new app but it’s so hard. I barely have enough to read 2 chapters a day. Before I’d spend hours here. I hope it goes back to normal. That being said even with the changes you will find yourself back her for the great novels. I wish there was a mthly option that had access to whatever you want. Please consider adding this option to keep readers like me..CcwaddellVersion: 1.48.0
Take Your Books Everywhere!This app is very easy to use, and a great way to obtain content to read digitally. I have been hooked on a book for the past several weeks that and I can’t put down - and don’t have to because it’s always with me on my phone!
My only concern would be that if you are an avid reader you could be spending a lot of money to keep up with your reading. There are plenty of ways to earn free coins, but if you are a binge reader like me you will be spending your own money!.DiamondaringVersion: 1.48.8
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..All for LeynaVersion: 1.12.1
Could be better but I still like itDownloaded app a few days ago and I’ve been hooked , few books in my library that I’m interested to start in . I have started Four or Dead and it’s a great read. Yes, there are typos here and there but it’s ok. I most definitely can’t wait to start picking up on more werewolf stories , started the Quinn Loftis Grey Wolves series and so far in loveee . I do hate that you need points to unlock chapters but the daily whatsapp group codes are definitely worth the wait and it’s cool to interact with other people ready the same books and hearing their progress and opinions..IlmarojVersion: 1.48.0
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..Morgan1215Version: 1.49.21
Books, Chapters, NovelI am very invested in these stories I’m reading 16 books in between I watch the ads get coins and some have been heart felt and others very romantic and or exotic. Takes the stress off because I feel like I’m in the book. I relax and read. I enjoy these novel, fiction, non-fiction it lets me see be in the book as if I were part of I love reading them. They keep me busy when I feel out of place. I sit down open the app and drink my coffee it tea while I read and sometimes I fall asleep reading them.

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..Lmega10Version: 1.49.11
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..Book nerd79Version: 1.47.2
Great app!I have had a few different reading apps that were ok, but I eventually ended up deleting them as they would reset and loose my place or very limited options to earn points to be able to read. This one is by far the best one so far! Love the books I’m reading, well written, great storyline and characters, definitely could be sold on Amazon or in stores!.FrogstomperVersion: 1.48.8
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..Night Owl23Version: 1.8.0
ReviewVery good story but it costs me too much to read one novel it cost me over a hundred dollars Canadian.HunnymuffinVersion: 1.49.20
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..TwiglefixVersion: 1.49.2
Awesome books lots of options.Like the options and the books are well written. These authors could sell their books normally and make money. You know they are good when they can do that..Policestudiesfanatic2013Version: 1.48.7

AnyStories-Good Novels & Books Negative Reviews
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..DmadibugVersion: 1.47.3
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..KSC2019Version: 1.37.0
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..NikkisdeadVersion: 1.43.1
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….DarkLadyMaeVersion: 1.37.0
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..Klh36Version: 1.48.8
$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..KsreensVersion: 1.49.7
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..GeorgepediaVersion: 1.43.0
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..Trinak29Version: 1.43.2
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..Rjack004Version: 1.48.6
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..OrangebrigadeVersion: 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..Katiebug1996Version: 1.47.4
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!!!.YadaddieswifeVersion: 1.48.2
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..OnefootlarryVersion: 1.49.0
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!.C.swisherVersion: 1.48.0
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..Kortni121Version: 1.41.3
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..NotAFanOfRipoffsVersion: 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..Freya SilverheartVersion: 1.48.7
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..Irish_1977Version: 1.22.0
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..AmareinaVersion: 1.49.7
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..Bo0berryVersion: 1.48.2
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..GetzmVersion: 1.9.3
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..Nessland10Version: 1.49.0
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..Mama13579Version: 1.47.3
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..Hdbd dvdbhsudhsudduhdiVersion: 1.49.0
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..Bobbet123456Version: 1.48.5
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..Hherron78Version: 1.47.3
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!!.Vava757Version: 1.48.5
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!.ChubbycatloverVersion: 1.47.6
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..CourtneyVersion: 1.48.6
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!.RealjillyjVersion: 1.48.6
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..Mariakos22Version: 1.48.0
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..Constant sign in neededVersion: 1.41.3
$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..AppLove2023Version: 1.49.7
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..ShiinhaVersion: 1.8.3

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.Nddwildcat94Version: 1.49.21
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..Nixiena1270Version: 1.49.20
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!.Bbba276Version: 1.49.15
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..Comiccon97Version: 1.49.7
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.Tyda35Version: 1.49.7

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.

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..FbombqueenVersion: 1.49.2
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..Genieb03Version: 1.49.2

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!!.SherryjdsVersion: 1.48.8
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..FlirtywelshVersion: 1.48.8
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!.Dani MasseeVersion: 1.48.7
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.

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.

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..Tree world lover94Version: 1.48.5
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..Big Richard John ThomasVersion: 1.48.4
