Pocket FM: Audio Series Positive Reviews
DyslexiaI ran across this app on Facebook. I listen to the episode there and became interested in it. This particular book call, saving Nora. I was so engaged that I decided to give the app a try. So I found it finally saving Nora. I have a listen to up to 12 episodes and I’m hooked. I can’t wait till the next day to listen to a few more episodes now I am dyslexic. I found this out in college. I have always been hesitant of reading books to the very end. So now that I can listen to audio on audible app, and Ashley, see a picture that details the storyline it’s just a cool thing to be able to do. I’m also a two time author in to anthology books. So now I am beginning to write my own book and with that being said, I definitely want to be able to offer audible to my followers and purchasers in the near future. Thank you so much for this introduction and I can’t wait to get to the end of saving Nora to find out if everything will be happily ever after. And then move on to my next selection. I give this a total of 12+ stars if I could..TalkkitupVersion: 2.5.3
It’s pretty okay, pretty good 👍Okay so this app is okay. The stories seem interesting and I love listening to these when I do dishes, but I have a question. So I clicked on a vip story and I thought I had to pay like coins because I read some reviews, but it didn’t charge me anything. Im a bit uncomfortable because I don’t want it to charge me after the whole story finishes. So please let me know if I pay or not. Okay now I have a problem. So I read review of someone who had the same problem. I clicked on the app one day and all the stories including the free stories on my for you page were gone. Nothing showed there and now I read the vip stories. I still have a free story i’m reading though, but I need that to be fixed. I tried deleting the app but that didn’t work and now I’m upset. I kept the app and still listen to stories but it would be amazing to get that fixed. Im not logged in so maybe that’s the prob but I don’t really want to log in. If that’s the case, let me know please. Thank you for listening and hearing me out. Edit: I found out that I need to pay with coins to listen to the whole story. I can also listen to vip stories.
Edit: I don’t think I wrote this but I actually really like this app and all my problems are solved, I have no problems in this app so yeah.
Thank you for responding to me!.I tried so many namesVersion: 1.9.6
Love it but….I am totally hook with this app! Love the stories that are played!! Love listening to the stories/episodes.. Saving Nora, Trading up, the Return and Crowns Obsession are my favorite stories to listen to plus several more stories. I’ve had a hard time reading books but these audio series are perfect for me, giving me the chance to envision what going on! The disappointing part of this app is now that I’m so engaged with these stories they start only releasing one episode a day vs the 8-10 a day!! I’m almost wanting to stop listening to the stories all together! I don’t like the fact I can’t stop the stories that I don’t want to listen!! I’d prefer to let the auto play continue the stories that are in my library not just random stories that I’m not interested in. I just wish that I could listen to the stories that I selected. This one free episode a day is really frustrating. Please do something about the auto play and only releasing one to two episodes per day! By this rate it will be two years of listening to one story! Absurd that it takes this long to listen to a story! Please please help fix this! I don’t want to lose my interest in listening to this app! This is why I have 3 stars and not 5 stars!.Bebedeluz69Version: 2.5.5
Too many adsWith this new update I am getting ads randomly that pop up before a chapter plays that is unlocked with coins. I thought the point of using coins would be to unlock chapters and not unlocking ads. I would randomly have ads with audio that pop up in the middle of a chapter drowning out the story I used coins to listen to. Also some of the ads hide the button to close it above the usable space on the screen making it tricky to close out. There also needs to be a way to remove stories that have auto played that you don't want to follow. I don't want to be listening to one story and then at the end of the chapter, it jump to another story I am not even interested in. After this update, ads still play randomly in the middle of a chapter and some of them are obscurely loud cutting out the ability to hear the story, and your ability to hear if you are wearing headphones. I would understand if ads play in between chapters but not in the middle as the story is playing. Also after the ad for the pop up play and you get back to the story, the playback controls disappear. You need to exit out of the story and back in to it to be able to play..Xer0fyreVersion: 2.4.9
GreatThe stories are great. A lot of them (5 so far) though are very similar in storyline some differences is the author and character names. Another issue is they are not consistent. One chapter says the kids age is 4 the next chapter says 3 and then you get another on that says the kid is 5. It says the story takes place 4 years ago and the child is 3 then it says the story took place 6 years ago and the child is 5. All of the stories I’ve read so far have the same inconsistencies. Because the stories are good I was able to overlook them because it’s not really a big deal. I just think it should be looked into and proof read before posting it. I also wish there was an option to read the stories not just listen to them because there has been major issues with the stories skipping every 5 or 10 seconds which is really annoying. Also a lot of the stories have 600+ episodes and just seems like it’s just dragging on to make people pay more. Some of the stories shouldn’t go on forever and just gets boring after awhile. This is all just something to look into and think about..Fisherc94Version: 2.4.5
Dissatisfied, but Satisfied!!!OK I do like the fact that this app is free and it’s up to you to purchase coins to continue the stories you are listening to. My problem is, I purchased a couple of chapters from a story and now since I’ve been waiting for the “FREE” updates, it is no longer updating the storylines episodes. It stopped at episodes 300, and there are 373 episodes. I guess it wants me to purchase the last 73 episodes of the story which to me seems very odd and it has been like this for the past three weeks any news episodes opening up. Needless to say it is a great story that I am listening to, but if this is how book is where you have to purchase the final episodes to finish the story, then just make it where you need to purchase the whole book or a subscription or maybe I just need to look for a better app and I really did like this one even though you have no control over the next story that plays it just plays automatically..GunMan747Version: 2.5.3
Why?I give you a three stars because I do enjoy a few stories however what I do not enjoy is the way the you get they give 5episodes to read everyday but then whenever you want you will serve one episode per day like really its like if you need to add more episodes just add them why are you doing us like this. Maybe you still writing but why nit just complete the stories before uploading them. Just asking you to please stop giving one episode a day. Everyone’s not but for the ones that do. Please stop. The way that yall get money is a total ripoff… instead of just writing another book you just keep adding this one… just make it a series and be a new book, many people will still purchase entire book.. ive paid sooo much money or a book and still reading it… wow apparently we all have the same complaints… i will say after a while this will be obsolete because ppl will get tired and delete the app.. one story a day and I’ve already spent 100’s and still not done almost a year to read one book and still paying toooooooo much to for them… i think after I finish this story probably 6mons from now im deleting this app.2biglipzVersion: 2.6.2
I love the stories but …My sister and I listen to this app and I love the stories. So here is my problem with the app. It doesn’t let me buy the chapter ahead of the unlock ones. So my sister have her app on her phone and I have mine on mine. We don’t live together but when we go on road-trips we listen to the app (usually on her phone). When I get home and I want to start where I left off at it doesn’t let me buy where I left off. I have to buy the whole chapter that I haven't bought yet, to be able to continue listening where I left off. Which i don’t need. I feel like it’s just trying to make me buy more coins. Why can’t we buy chapters ahead. I don’t know if you understand me or not. I feel so frustrated. Let’s say I unlocked chapters up to 100 and then listen with my sister on her phone up to 150. Now, I want to continue listening on my own but I can’t since the app won’t let me buy 151 unless I buy the 50 chapters I haven’t unlock yet. Like what’s up with that? Please fix this so we don’t have to use up coming on chapters we don’t need. Please 🙏.Kimmii66.Version: 2.0.3
Doesn’t give free episodes dailyUpdate: I deleted this app. It is not giving the daily free episodes. The story I was listening too is just ridiculous. As the reader, you know what’s going on with the characters, but after almost 500 episodes, they haven’t figured anything out and they keep doing the same chaotic things over and over again.
I’ve been cheated out of my free episodes on multiple occasions. This morning I had not new episodes. They still say free tomorrow. Some days I listen to other stories and allow a few episodes to build up so I can listen to more of the story. That doesn’t happen anymore. If I don’t listen to the 2 episodes, I don’t get the 2 new ones each day. This is a huge disappointment and I’m considering deleting because I’m not getting the free episodes. I also don’t like how it now says the next episode will be your last for today. I just want to listen to the story. My biggest complaints are that it charges me for coins even when I click use your wallet money. This has happened twice. I used to get 9-10 episodes free per day, now it’s down to only 2..P!nkLun4+!cVersion: 2.5.9
Love the App! Struggling with glitchesI’ve been using this app for nearly a month now. I absolutely love it and love the stories. I am constantly having app issues though. When the stories automatically switch to a different story once the free episodes are done, it sometimes switches to a story I’m already listening to and will start the whole thing over and I’ll have to scroll forever to get back to where I was which is frustrating but not impossible.
Latest problem is now every story has been added to my library and won’t delete out. I try to delete and it just re-adds it within seconds. Is anyone else having this problem? There’s like 25 stories now in my library and i have to search to find the one I’m listening to. I tried to find troubleshooting on the app and on the site and nothing has worked so far :(
Other thank these two aggravations, everything else on the app works fantastic, stories are wonderful, readers are clear to understand, and the rest of the app is easy to navigate:).VraechoVersion: 2.4.0
Better listening of audio then using your own hands or eyes when u r a busy with somethingThis app of audio stories is really good, you can do anything when are you are so busy at something but it’s easy for u to do something. Because that way u won’t hold a book or read a stories with yr own eyes, when u r busy with something else that u gotta do. It’s really helpful for yr freetime of yr hobbies, if u get bored of busy life; maybe get some sleep but don’t forget to put yr sleep timer, n that way u won’t miss some of the chapters that u didn’t hear of the audio when u r in deeper sleep.
I recommend this story better then other apps. Cuz it make me worry that I gotta pay of something, but this app is good, if u want to ready more chapters u need to pay, if not, u must wait for the next days to come n the new chapters will b u lock. Don’t believe me, try it for yrself..35PikaVersion: 2.4.0
Decent but be carefulI think the app overall is decent and worth having however a couple things users should be aware of. Most stories, although they have different characters are essentially the same story line leaving you feeling like you already knows what’s going to happen. In addition, if you purchase coins it will no longer tell you when it’s your last free episode for the day. The time between episodes is short and the next one que’s up, plays and charges you before you can even hit pause. I’m pretty sure this is by design and a quick way to take your money. I purchased $50 in coins thinking it would last me a while since I only listen to the free episodes and occasionally want to go a little further when I have a heavy workload. Not the case…$50 wasn’t even enough to finish the book. I could’ve purchased 3-4 books for that price so I won’t be investing anymore money into this with the setup they have and will probably search for an app that allows me to use my “coins” at my discretion instead of depleting them on the down low..ShellieH2413Version: 2.5.1
EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE !!Let me start off by saying I do like the stories and most of the narrators I’ve heard. My issue is the cost of listening if you decide to purchase. Each chapter requires an average of 6 coins to unlock. If you purchased an entire story you’d pay well over $100 for just ONE story. I do like the stories, but I don’t see how any sane person would pay more than $40 for a book or movie. I understand it’s a business and we pay for entertainment however that’s more than someone’s internet or phone bill.
Also with regards to purchasing coins, the higher the coin amount is the more you pay per coin. The 20 coin option is 10.5 cents per coin and the 900 coins are 11 cents a coin. I have purchased coins but once I realized how much it would cost to listen to just one story I stopped. I do like the app and the service it provides however I’m not willing to listen to a story over at least a 3 month period nor am I willing to continually purchase and endless amount of coins.
I really hope you figure out a way to provide a more economical service..No-pa123Version: 1.9.2
Price gougingI started out loving this app. I realized that the goal is to have you pay hundreds for one complete product. I don’t feel any fictional book is worth more than $30. After I stopped paying, I began to be limited to how many videos I can watch per day ( equal to no more than 4 episodes, which are like 6 minutes long). Once I didn’t purchase from that intervention, I lost my free episodes for the day. This puts my in a very tight situation. I will not be manipulated into giving away my money. There are so many ways to listen to a book. I hate that the app is basically designed to force you to pay. I will not spend one more dollar with this app. Let’s see how long I will stay interested in it. I will simply go back to to my originals (Kindle, google play, and Audible). I have the app a 3 because I liked one particular book on it and that’s it. I’ve had the displeasure of having this app cheat me out of episodes on multiple occasions and if it wasn’t for the fact that I liked the book, I would rate this app a 1 star..TashQ123Version: 2.6.5
Good customer serviceThe book that lead me to this app is long and I’m still listening to it. I find myself wondering why I’m still listening to it because it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense. They talk about cell phones and Facebook, but then refer to contracts that parents made at birth to marry their daughters off, and it’s supposed to be set in America. It’s weird, but never the less, has me hooked.
When I purchased more coins, apple showed me the total that was purchased that day, which included another app I’d purchased. That happened two days in a row, so I immediately thought it was pocket fm charging me more than 50% in fees. I emailed their customer service and they immediately replied and were eager to get to the bottom of what had happened. I didn’t respond for a few days and they emailed me again, letting me know they hadn’t received my response yet.
I gave 4 stars for customer service and the one star I left off was because the book I’m listening to is so weird..Sad603Version: 2.4.9
Great app with great material but some glitchesIt’s hard for me to get entertained and listen long enough to even start books but this app has had a few good reads so far that have peaked my a.d.h.d interest. I did purchase a coin pack to dive further into chapters of a book faster instead of waiting for chapters to open tomorrow for available reading. This is where my glitch comes in…. So each day they open let’s say 4-6 chapters in a book but my issue is if I do not read all 6 chapters(say I only read 3 out of 6) that were given then my free chapters for the following day will not be given. So I have to read all chapters til the notice comes on saying this is the last episode for the day and next chapters will be free tomorrow. It shouldn’t matter how many chapters I read, if chapters are free for tomorrow then I should be given those allotted chapters no matter how far behind I am.
Sorry for book I wrote but honestly other then that issue/glitch it’s a good fun easy to use app.DhgbullittVersion: 2.4.5
ConfusedI saw your app on my phone open it up saw the titles and I like them. So I started listening to one of them. Just when the story got really interesting it stopped and another story were introduced. And then it said that I should get coins. Now I have no idea what coins are, so I started looking for coins. So I found the coins, still have no idea what to do. Then it said if I want to buy I should go to my Apple Pay or something like that. That did not work because they did not have any of my payments information. So I waited three days. Then the story started again, so now I’m all excited so I started listening and enjoying again then the very same thing happened again. So I started churching then I saw were I can buy for 199 so I did that and I still could not get my beautiful story back. What is this really, why can’t you just make it easier for people who are interested in these stories. I really wish that you would..FolukieVersion: 2.7.1
Pocket FM ReviewHi, I’m a younger reader who loves and is obsessed with the stories on this app. Not going to lie, the waiting for each episode to update isn’t really a big problem for me, but after a few months something happened. I went into the app like usual and when I tried to click on an episode of an amazing story, it wouldn’t do anything. It would just not un pause, after ten minutes of trying to see what the problem is, I failed. So I deleted the app and got it again to see if it would work but surprisingly, it didn’t. I have been trying to deal with this problem for about a month now and this is me typings this review one month later. In that space of time, I have deleted the app seventeen times and nothing worked. I’m not full on hating on this app because it seems that no one else is having this problem and I also love the stories. If this is a problem with the app then please let me know. If it is just me then I’ll try to fix it myself. Thank you for your time, and I hope you don’t take this review the wrong way..WhebdufbfbVersion: 1.2.1
Addicting!Thanks for this app! Free if you just wait for daily free episodes but you can also purchase coins to listen more if you don’t want to wait. It keeps me hooked to look forward listening every day. Its like watching a TV series, some stories are still on-going (not done), but you can walk around or do chores while listening! There are a lot of stories to choose from. The following observations are based on the stories I am listening so far. The free daily episodes vary per story some gives you 4 or 8 episodes a day. Note: additional episodes will only open if you listened to the prior available episodes. Each episode is short average 6-12 mins each depending on the story. You can rate each story/episode separately within the app. This 5-star rating is for the app and it is a Great app!.AmoKawDaanVersion: 2.4.0
Much much too expensive!!I really like this app!!! The stories are awesome and I’m active in like 5 daily stories. BUT, the amount of coins it takes to listen to these stories is absolutely RIDICULOUS! You can get around 160 coins for 20$, that’s far too expensive! If you do the math and you listen to several stories and you wanna listen ahead you could end up paying well over a hundred dollars for just one story or you have to wait a day to get at most 10 episodes for free!! Trust me you can go threw 160 coins in one day on one story it’s so costing! This is a big big big flaw in my eyes!!! Some episodes cost 7 coins and some 2 coins!! They seem to be priced on how long the episode is in minutes! I’d pay for a subscription if you got many many many more coins!! So I won’t be putting anymore money into this app. If it were much cheaper I would but you guys charge so much for stories that are exactly the same just different names and different order of events...SpAzPaTcH44Version: 2.4.9
A disappointed FanI have been absolutely enjoying three great audio books until I decided to buy coins. Since then instead of the 9 new daily episodes I was normally getting, I am only allowed 2 a day. I thought well maybe it was because I had open a few episodes because I just couldn’t wait to see what happened and the 2 episodes were the end of that particular chapter. No not the case. Myself and other family members have all been listening to the same books and they are still getting the 9 free daily episodes. I guess since they got me one with making a purchase they will try to force you in another purchase by limiting your access. I tried messaging the company on their Facebook account without any response over 3-4 days and still waiting. There is no customer service number to correct any issues. The lack of communication made me rate it a 3 but the three audiobooks are a 5 start!.Tia EberheartVersion: 2.5.3
DisappointedI listened to the beginning of a few stories on Facebook before deciding to downloadthe app. I did download and got up to episode 84 or 85 of a book. I actually had money in my wallet to purchase more coins.
Then one day while looking through the titles and was getting ready to purchase more coins so I can finish the book I was listening to & purchase another one, it asked me to sign in. Being that I had never signed in before I signed up, and when I did everything was lost. The same book that I was on episode 84 or so, was locked at episode 13.
Also, the money that I had in the wallet was not there. So I signed out
and tried to just go back to where I was before signing up. Still no luck.
I am not going to pay every listen to the episodes I've already paid for & heard. And now I'm disappointed I will not get to finish my stories. And it will not allow me to purchase from ep 84 ..MakenziesVersion: 2.5.7
Stingy appGood stories. And some are blah but to each there own likings. What I dislike about this app. Is that it’s stingy, now I’m on a very tight budget any extra spending outside of my main bills and necessary things is then hurting my gas money or whatever. Anyway, probably this is why this is such an issue with me practically. Each episode is 3-4 coins but after every 24hrs you get so many free episodes to listen to. But when your left at the edge of your seat and have to wait or either buy some coins. And if you only purchase some many coins but not enough for the whole story. I can’t simply save my coins and also receive my daily free episodes. Until you use up all your coins you paid for. It will give you free episodes again. But why can’t I save my coins for when I really need it. Oh well, I’m gonna finish my story and then I’ll delete the app and my account. Can’t have this as an extra stupid expense..Miss Picky🙄Version: 2.4.1
Love the app but….I have finally found an app to listen to some fun and interesting stories, the narration is well done, i am hooked! So much so that i decided to purchase the vip subscription…. This is where the But comes in… i am extremely disappointed with the subscription, there is not enough value for the cost of the subscription. It truly is better to listen to the stories in the free version. The subscription only removes ads and gives you 150 coins a month… this is sooo very sad as i was hoping to be able to listen to the entirety of the story i am hooked on. But to mo avail, the app uses the 150 coins to unlock the episodes as you listen and when they run out you are stuck waiting a whole fackin month to be able to continue listening, this is wholly unacceptable. I wouldent pay anything more than $1.99 a week for this level of subscription. I will cancel this cash grab no value subscription..EidelwildVersion: 2.5.7
Keeps restarting the same books1st the key to being happy with this is NEVER use credits even if they are free! Because it will reduce how many FREE episodes/chapters you get each day. Also after you leave a review this happens too. (This is an update to my review as i discovered only getting 2 free daily episodes on each book instead of 4-5 free daily episodes that i was getting for over a month) My biggest complaint is i listen to the free episodes of 3-4 different books each day. At the end of the free chapters, instead of starting you on another book that your listening to at the next chapter available… it either starts a new book or starts you at episode 1 of a book your already listening to. Then you have to stop and scroll through all the episodes to get to the next one. That takes time to scroll through especially if your at episode 300 or higher..CreatinineVersion: 2.5.3
Very good storyI like it. But hate that you make we wait longer for a bit more story..Cvgr fVersion: 2.4.9
Amazing.Too many things to say at one but I’ll touch the surface.
Awesome content. Knows how to hook you in. Reel you in. Build excitement. Become invested in fictional characters.
Great escape from reality. $1.99 for some coins to unlock story or simply wait until the next day. Which I clearly can’t do thanks to them I’ll be broke. I feel cheated because there isn’t any animations. But to be honest the lack of animations make the imagination run wild..Aired wardsVersion: 2.4.4

OMG LOVEE THISS APPI love this app I use this app every day. Love the characters and the story on this app. The only thing I have to say though is I don’t like all sometimes they give us one chapter a day, but other than that this app is absolutely amazing and I highly recommended.Syd1034Version: 2.7.1
EpisodesLove the books in pocket fm but I wish when you bought coins it would show his much you pay in total because when I purchase it’s a bit over what they show also I wish all the episodes are released at once! Since I already have to pay for coins why do I have to wait for new episodes of the book!!! All in all it’s good and I love the books!!.Dig lover 12Version: 1.9.8

Pocket FM: Audio Series Negative Reviews
Ridiculous marketing scheme. Few good books with even fewer good voices.I got this app starting a new, mind-numbing job. Loved it in the beginning even though I had to sift through dozens of books just to find a couple I liked. Seems like most stories are the same or have similar plots. Like reincarnation or alternate reality. Crappy life to stupidly amazing life.
Episodes are free but once you listen for a few days, they only release like 10mins per story per day listened. So instead of an hour or more of immersion, you only get a small bite and are left hungry for more.
This would be fine, if the books were affordable. You have to buy coins which don’t seem expensive. When you look at the cost per short episode, you’re paying over $100 for 1 dang book. Clever but greedy marketing scheme. I’m done after dealing with mediocre stories with mediocre readers for a year. I haven’t spent one cent and would never spend that much money on a book. I’d pay $15-$30 for a gooood book. Absolutely ridiculous.
When finish listening to your story, you’d think it would play the next story in your library right? Wrong. They only play books you’ve never heard of and starting new stories when I already have multiple is another greedy marketing ploy. Never using this app again. Highly recommend you don’t either..Alright game7Version: 2.6.2
Messing up everythingDon’t bother downloading the apps the stories never matching the ads y’all are seeing for this app the coin ratio ain’t good you have to pay hundreds of real money just to read 50 episode everything they had to help you get coins for free they are taking away like the wallet I’ve had this app for months and it’s never worked one time but my mom told me the wallet will help me get coins then I started getting the offer for 3 dollars for 7 days to get the coins 1:5 per video the 5 coins helped and I use to binge watch ads just so I could enjoy a story. They took that away and promised me a refund and never sent it. They scamming the stories they release multiple episodes in the beginning but as soon as you get to 100 in the story they start releasing 1 episode a day so people can spend money that we refuse to keep spending. Then let me start with the writers they release multiple stories at once and never finish them and then claim them as season 1 and a year has passed and they still haven’t finished the story 🤦🏽♀️ just don’t waste your time find another app I’ve put so much money into this app and they just keep playing with my account and so many bugs I deleted it and redownloaded and it’s still doing crazy downloading full stories even without them being unlocked this app is a mess.Bossladymack90Version: 2.6.1
Great app, customer service unavailable, unrealistically expensive,and inaccurate data.I’ve been using this app for almost 2 months but I mainly listened to one story because of the cost you have to pay every day for 2 or 3 episodes coming out and it’s unaffordable if you’re starting to read a story that already has hundreds of episodes, can you imagine paying more than 150$ for a book that’s not even finished? Well that’s what this is and if want to know more you’ll have to spent how much more God knows… It’s unfortunate that there is such a great app with a lot of potential but for the greediness it’s made so expensive because they know when you get hooked you will have no other choice than to spend more money. There’s not even the possibly to pay a one time fee for a story a plans to make it affordable somehow. But to top off all that if you get logged you lose the coins you bought to purchase the episodes. That’s what happened to me. And I reached out to get my coins back but the customers service has not replied. I tried to call but the customer service is switched off. Overall this is a grate app but it’s made to exploit people by offering some good stories.
I was told to send an email after this to get my coins back and I did that 5 days ago but no reply so far..Fabiolamar3Version: 1.9.6
Rip offI have been going back and forth with these people about being overcharged and then not getting the coin package I purchased. They asked me for a video of the purchase. Who records themselves making a purchase? I took that as a loss. Then when I did not receive the coin pack that I purchased, I screenshot the purchase and the page that showed that I did not receive the purchase. The time was clearly on both screenshots so there was no way I could use that many coins within a minute. They then asked me for a screenshot of the purchase. Conveniently, my purchase history says that I have never made a purchase. My banking info says otherwise. I have taken that as a loss as well. I went to another platform for my audiobook needs. It is actually better and does not spoon feed you small episodes. If you are wise do not purchase anything because you will either be overcharged or won’t even get what you purchased. This is ridiculous and it is sketchy to say the least. I’m sure it is also illegal for them to take money and not provide the services or products that were clearly paid for, but the legalities or lack there of is a story for another day. I’m pretty sure I am not the only one this has happened to. I’m just waiting to see how it ends..Rxpq386781Version: 2.5.7
Too expensive to listen to a whole storyI saw an ad for Pocket FM - I listened to a teaser of a story “Insta Empire” the story was great downloaded the app and listened to 34 free 10-12 minutes episodes - the told i could wait 6 hours to listen to the next episode or pay 10 coins - I clicked on the link to find how much coins cost - I was offered a deal buy 40 coins for $4.95 and get 50 coin bonus- I took the offer and was able to listen to about 10 more episodes. I tried to get thé same deal again but the second time it only offered me 5 bonus coins for my $4.99 purchase of 40 coins- the story has over 1000 episodes at this rate it will cost me over $100 to listen to the whole story. Not going to do it when I can download and listen to a whole book on Audible for $10. I wish they had an unlimited plan or a better deal on coins. Too expensive to listen to a whole story. Their stories are good, but their goal is to get you hooked so you have to pay an outrageous price to finish the story. Not going to buy any more coins any time soon- I will look for an alternative service to listen from now on..DjMarkPVersion: 2.7.0
I love the app but the new policy updates ruined itI have been a faithful user of this app for almost a year. I have about 10 stories that i have been listening to in that time span. I have even spent money to buy coins in order to keep listening because some of the stories are THAT GOOD. I listen to so many stories because each story would release approximately 5 episodes a day (about an hours worth of the story) and that was fine. However, last week, i opened the app to listen to my stories and found that only 2 episodes were released in all of my stories. I contacted the support team and they told me that they updates their policies and now only 1-2 episodes will be released per day. I find this very frustrating because most of these stories have 1000+ episodes and each one is approximately 7-15 mins a piece. I’m in the 700s in some stories and others I’m over 500+, and now I’m being told that i can only get 1-2 episodes a day. So whereas it would’ve taken me a few months to finish 1000+ episodes, it’ll now take me 3yrs. I need this to be fixed ASAP. I’m MAJORLY invested in these stories now and the support people basically told me to just deal with it..ManOfGr8CourageVersion: 2.6.0
Don’t waste your timeI’ve been sucked into two different audio books in this app. At the beginning of the stories the release about 10 episodes per day, the. You have to buy coins to purchase more episodes if you want to keep listening. The further you get into the story the less episodes they release to listen for free daily and there’s more than 1000 episodes in these books with more episodes added often so it’s like there’s no ending to the books, the drama just continues to reel you in and before you know it you’ve spent hundreds of dollars to listen to a book. Not to mention, it doesn’t allow you to skip ahead but doesn’t tell you that when it allows you to purchase an episode further into the book, it uses your coins and starts the very next episode that you haven’t listened to yet, despite that it allows you to select whatever locked episode, and has the button to “purchase and play” that episode for a certain # of coins. It’s just a waste of time. Go buy an actual book that has an ending and that you don’t need to put endless money into to be able to finish it without dragging it out for a year or 2. Lol.VickieLou08Version: 2.6.8
It’s OkI love the stories. They give you enough free chapters to get you hooked and even offer you a free credit to buy coins in the beginning to keep you listening. The first 100 or so episodes I was allowed to listen in for up to 8 episodes, but I noticed the price for coins increasing the further I got into the story, and the number of episodes keep decreasing. I am now more than 230 episodes in and can only listen to 2 episodes a day. If I want to listen to more, I have the option to watch videos. It started out with 5 videos, then increased to 14, and now I must listen to 15 redundant ads before getting to listen to 2 more episodes. In short, the further you get into the stories, the more likely you’ll be stuck paying ridiculous prices for coins to a book that you cannot buy any where else. I would buy coins, but $2 for 15 coins that doesn’t even allow you to purchase 2 episodes is ridiculous. AND if you attempt to wait a few days to listen in and catch up, you’re still only entitled to the 2 episodes. This app, although has decent literature, is a scam..Aria2382Version: 2.6.2
I hate to even give a starThe stories are ok. Good stories to listen to while you work or clean. You get so many episodes for free. The episodes are about 8-12 min long. Then right when you are hooked to the story, it will change and you have to have to pay or they will release a couple of episodes per day for free. So unless you wait a year or two to finish the story, you will have to pay. It costs literally hundreds of dollars to finish one story. You will easily spend $400-$500 per story. Then they scam you by having you do all these things like surveys and watching videos and following them on every social media platform but you never receive all the coins they have promised for doing all these things. Who pays that much for a story! These creators are here to take all your money in hard times and leaves you wondering how the story ends unless you can afford to pay the $400-$500 to finish it. I am all the way to the end of my episodes now, with 26 episodes left, which is just a couple of hours to listen to and it will cost me $225 just to finish or wait for one episode per day to be released. This is a money racket!!.Carrie995Version: 2.7.0
Loving book, loathing, a scam: BewareI got sucked into a book which is very good. Between the completely sucking you in and then only releasing one episode at a time, they take advantage of consumers inability to walk away from a good book. Between the dragging it on releasing one episode at a time, I finally broke down, and ignoring my rule of paying for something like this. After I bought coins, and when I fell asleep, I noticed, when I looked at the app that many of the coins that I purchased did not completely go towards the book I was reading, but also towards other books, which wasted my coins. Also, I paid enough to put “finish”the episodes which was not the end of the book but just the ones they had released. Very deceitful and is a complete shame. Going for the now money instead of looking at the long term and keeping customers. I will never listen to another one of her books when I’m done with the one I’m listening to now. Hope the quick buck is worth it. I would be happy to pay five bucks for the book. But now you’ve lost my money when I’m done..Jrsygrl66Version: 2.4.6
REALLY??? I have 316 days left on my membership??? For what???RIP OFF!!! I bought the membership, the app said it would unlock all the episodes with a vip membership, I was getting about 3 episodes a day with the free version then I bought a $60 a year membership so I could finish the book. I have time to listen to 6-8 episodes a day they’re only 5-10 minutes long. About 2 weeks ago I started getting 1 episode every day to every other day, (average 6 minutes each), I figured it would pick up again, now there’s been NO EPISODES for 6 days & ppl are saying in the comments they ended it. What with no ending??? With no announcement??? I see on the front picture of the novel it no longer says “new episodes daily” so I guess that’s it. Is that how this business is run. I could have saved myself $60 with the free version & still had the same experience…I want a refund…I’ll delete this app it has no use or value. I guess I have to contact Apple to see how to go about getting a refund. I had a hard time giving this app 1 star. If y’all are enjoying the app save your money & keep the free version I was much happier with that..TWC disappointed app userVersion: 1.5.6
Scummy cash grabWhy are there so many 5 star reviews with heavy complaints? Honestly, I offer my strongest recommendation to ABSOLUTELY NOT get invested in any of their stories. Don’t download this app unless you are actually made of money. To unlock a full story, it will cost you over 500 USD Even if you buy episodes, they cap how many you can listen to in a day They significantly reduce the “free episodes” when you get deep enough into a story (with no warning). There’s no way to keep episodes from playing automatically, unless you set a sleep timer. This results in accidental use of coins way more often than you think. Considering an episode can cost 4-7 coins for 8 minutes of mediocre audiobook… do the math. They used to have a premium subscription that would allow for (mostly) unlimited streaming, but they removed it. Obviously this targets their most avid listeners who are most invested in their stories. Worst of all, when I submitted my feedback, instead of a generic “thanks for the feedback” the customer service representative quoted company policy and the terms and conditions at me like I was some kind of lawyer..Cash Grab FMVersion: 2.6.1
Bait and SwitchThis app is pure bait and switch. You’re given free access to a singular content for only a couple hours before being directed to buy coins to purchase further episodes, at this time you’re automatically redirected to a completely different series. If you choose not to purchase coins, you’re allowed access to only two new episodes of the content you began per day. Episodes are only roughly 7 minutes long. The base cost of each episode is 6-8 coins, and 6 coins cost $.79. So each episode costs nearly a dollar. They have package deals, but the cost of each level of packaging varies wildly even from day to day. The first time you purchase a package, you’re given one of their better deals. After that, the options get even worse. The series I began reading has roughly 1200 episodes. Using their base cost per episodes, the total cost to finish the series would be nearly $1000. They count on you becoming engrossed in a series and charge more for the addiction. It’s purely predatory. I’d highly recommend against this app and suggest you simply purchase an audiobook from a legitimate vendor..Disgr@ntledVersion: 2.6.9
Never got my coins or money backI have already written and got no reply. I tried to buy coins on January 1st. The sale was having trouble going through for some reason. So I retried, it said if the coins did not apply but the money was withdrawn, it would be returned within a day or so. Well it is now the 12th. No coins & no refund?? So what is up?? I sent a message over a week ago & no reply? Also when you have to watch ads to get free episodes. Sometimes lots is problems. Like it will say watch 10 adds for 2 free episodes. Ok, but after you have watched 2 or 3 adds it switches it up to 12 adds that you have to now have to watch! Or you get through a half of the adds and when it comes to X out of one, it won’t. You can’t get out of that add? The only way is to close out the whole app & then you have to start all over watching 12 adds again 😡. So please reply to me. Return my money or give me my coins (1400). And mostly, be nice enough to reply to my messages. Thank you PS. I do love the app & the stories. Edit it is now the 16th still no coins, no refund and no reply!? Seriously! I’m.PegbuckVersion: 2.6.5
Not a great fan nowSo not sure if it’s just me or some sort download was the issue. But been using this app for more than a few months n let’s be honest. Purchasing any of the coins seemed pointless n if u have the time you could could simple enjoy the free videos n accumulate the coins necessary to listen to the next episode n also the free 5 audios after 24 hours seem like a pretty great deal. I lived listening to these stories while I’m at work but with the update this app has its almost garbage. And to top it off now I have ads! Even the purchasing coins seemed even more rediculous. Now I have watch 19 videos (was the most but it varied) just to get 2 audio unlocks I mean that’s crazy. I understand making money in this is the whole goal but could u not simply leave that key feature in which I thought was awesome about accumulating coins by watching a single video n I gained 5 coins per video. I was generating 600+ coins to simply listen anything for as long as my battery lasted but it’s garbage. Others may like it but now I’m no longer a fan of it.Robloxlover1689Version: 2.6.1
System log outI’ve been going back and forth with support about a promotion they offered and I paid for that should’ve lasted two days and it didn’t even last a day. They kept closing out my ticket without addressing the issue. A few days later I’m trying to access the app and I’ve been automatically logged out. Came str8 here noticed that there was an update, figured okay this could be why. Clicked the update and open and boom! Now the server won’t connect.
Not sure why the scamming, run around, and the total lack of ethics with this app. Especially since you’re charging an arm of a fist for listeners to continue to listen. Just put some respect on it. Life is expensive enough and I’m pretty sure ppl are buying plenty of promos, subscriptions, and monthly premiums. Yet you all still refuse to be honest and listen to the masses. This is in the way! Do better, now I’m forced to walk away from an app I’ve grown to appreciate and enjoy. Which has become more of a headache and a rip off!.Tami PalmtreeVersion: 2.5.5
I love the stories not the layoutI fell in love with a story on this app & am obsessed with it, and listened to it every moment possible at the beginning while still able to. I work in a job where I have a lot of hands on, but mindless work, a lot of the time, so I have a lot of time to listen. Therefore I’m a binge listener, this system makes it so hard to be able to do that once you get past a certain point. I would be willing to pay by book, or even listen to as many ads as needed in order to be able to keep listening whenever I wanted. I’m not willing to pay $100 dollars for a certain number of coins. That may only last me halfway through the book. Please consider different options that make more sense for all of your consumers. If I can’t listen to more than 5 short episodes a day, I will simply not listen at all. This app knows how to grab you, hoping you will spend the ridiculous amount of money on their silly coins. Don’t recommend getting hooked like I did..SnericksonVersion: 2.4.5
RipoffThis app is a total rip off. They give you a certain amount of free episodes that are only about 10 minutes long and then after that you have to wait 24 hours before you get two more to listen to or you can buy coins to get any kind of decent amount you have to spend at least $10 and that might get you an hour and a half more two hours of episodes and considering most decent stories have thousands of episodes you’re looking at pending hundreds of dollars. Much cheaper and easier just to download the Audible app and even for their premium service $15 a month is a much better deal. Most people will realize this shortly after downloading and using this app if they don’t do something to make it more cost-effective they are going to lose all their customers. just like they lost me. By the way if you don’t mind reading most of the stories that they have on here you can find for free in text form online and just read the book or if you have an iPhone Siri will read it for you..Honest Reviewer63Version: 2.6.5
POCKET FM REVIEWSI downloaded this app to listen to the stories when driving to and from work, cooking or lying in bed trying to sleep. The stories are so nice that I find it very difficult to put down, even at work I put on my ear buds continue to listen and do my work at the same time. But the bad aspect of the app is the stories are halfway done. The first book I listened to is ‘Accidentally Yours’ very interesting but unfortunately it only stopped on 218, this after buying more than enough tokens, I thought maybe I was doing something wrong, so i went ahead and got the second book ‘ Billionaire Accidental Bride’ , this one stopped on page 441. This is after paying a whopping $100 for tokens in order to prevent any kind of interruptions but behold I never got my money’s worth. I later got to know that ‘Billionaire accidental bride’ is over a thousand plus pages , this is from another reader. My thing is if you can’t conclude the stories why make people pay, this app is just ripping innocent people off their hard earned money. Am highly disappointed..Say funkyVersion: 1.7.4
Not so freeSo I’ve run across this app on Facebook I started listening to instant millionaire. Then I found a few other books to listen to now that I’m interested in these books. I have three books now that the only way I can finish them is to spend a lot of money. I’m very disappointed in this post to be free episodes daily then it stops giving you episodes so you have to pay for them. Please don’t waste your time unless you have a big bank account, because a poor person like me can’t afford the expensive coins just to finish the book I even paid for a subscription cost to give me 165 points in months October 7 my subscription renewed. It took my money, but I want your coins in my account then took the 200 coins back out. Then will not show me my purchases you I have been trying to contact this company. I have emailed them. I have emailed them several time and they will not get back with me. Please save your time. And don’t waste several months. Do not even be able to finish the book I know how they end..Trucker2475Version: 2.5.7
A bit annoyingThe love story plots are pretty much all the same (billionaire this, rich guy that type of stories & most use the same names so if you’re listening to multiple stories it’s easy to get confused). The app gives you a few chapters per day (not animated like Facebook led me to believe) and after listening to the free chapters you have to purchase coins to listen to more episodes; however if you already have coins they will use ALL your coins to keep playing the current story instead of telling you that the free chapters have ended so you will be listening and not know that your using coins that you might’ve been saving to listen to a different story… unfair as heck! Most of the stories do sound the same but they have many to choose from so you shouldn’t get too bored. I Just wouldn’t waste any more money on coins that they’re going to use without my consent! They need to release more free chapters for the amount of ads they throw in there smh.BigellejayVersion: 2.5.0
Terrible new change- no longer receives free episodes if you decided to pay/use coinsI truly enjoy the app and the stories in PocketFM. However, they recently made a change so if you ever decided to “pay” for story with coins to listen ahead, you no longer receives free daily episodes. This change really doesn’t make any sense! I have been listening to a story for a few months and usually would actually spent time watching sone ads just to earn comics since they provided only a few free episodes daily. However, one day it just stops giving free episodes. When I wrote to support, the answer was pretty much -( yea we did make this change ) so now I’m stuck unless I’m willing to use coins or else I won’t get any more free daily episodes. So why bother with the ads or pay for it only to have free episodes taken away from you? I was left disappointed after contacting support since I’m practically stuck and am no longer continuing on with the story…..Lucky8!8!Version: 2.5.6
TOO EXPENSIVEThis app is too expensive. You have to pay coins to unlock episodes in the story/book. You can earn free coins by watching ads, but is costs 8 coins to hear a 10 minute episode. So, you watch 8 ads to get those 10 minutes of the story. Those 8 ads take between 4 to 8 minutes to view. You can buy 40 coins for $5.00, so you could unlock 5 ten-minute episodes. That’s $5.00 for 50 minutes. Many of the stories have more than 2,000 episodes. Episodes are from 5 to 20 minutes and episode prices vary from 4 to 11 coins. These stories are not books, because the never end. The stories just go on and on. They are more like never ending soap operas. I have had three stories that just ended after 336, 410 and 818 episodes. I still wanted to know what happened next. I have no idea if the stories will resume or not. The purpose of this business plan is to get you hooked/addicted to the stories so you will spend a ridiculously amount to feed your addiction. I am addicted and I HATE IT..IDragonLadyJaneVersion: 2.6.1
Coin issueWell it’s an awesome app. You can listen to stories on end. I have been listening to quite a few. I paid for some episodes with coins and when I went back after listening to one series the episodes I paid for were locked. On the other 2 stories I was listening to. I know I paid for them as I shared what was left one time between the other 2 stories from what was left over of coins I bought. Now I trying to get to talk to someone and there is no contact info for the developer or so on. That’s kinda crazy. I mean having an issue and there is no contact info to reach so as to sort out problems. Not nice. I mean it’s awesome to can listen the stories. But until I get some good understanding talk with someone who develops and manages this app then I won’t recommend it.
You will pay for things in advance then find the app is requiring you to pay for it again when you go back to listen. Not nice. Not nice at all. I’m quite upset right now about it..SirDeeds1Version: 2.0.1
Too long to get to the endBeen listening for about a year now. Like the stories but some are still being written so it’s like they go on forever. I purchased coins to keep listening but when coins ran out I had to wait for the free ones to catch up!! Started a book last April spent coins to keep listening but when coins ran out I had to wait months to be able to to continue with the story! This is only in audio so can’t buy books to read.
I like listening to stories but this platform is impossible. You can only listen to two to for chapters at a time. I calculated that it would take several years to finish just one book. By that time I will get bored and abandon it.
Also there seems to be no instructions on how the application works so I can’t seem to save the books I’m listening to. So every day I have to scroll from the beginning to get to the chapter I was on. Frustrating. That is the word for this— FRUSTRATING.Libearian65Version: 2.7.0

This app is poorly designedAs stated this app is poorly designed and some pages/screens don’t even work. I purchased some coins and used it to listen to a few episodes on one particular story. I stoped and closed the app.
When I stopped listening, I had a certain amount of coins remaining. I thought that I could continue listening to the two free daily episodes on different shows and my coins not be touched but I’ve noticed that my coins were reducing even when not using them.(I pay attention to what I’m clicking on and am not using the unlock feature) I feel like I’ve been robbed by this app and I’m disappointed.
The usage history page does not even work so I can’t prove that I did not use them other my word. But this experience is spoiled my user experience and I will not spend any more money on this app as it will continue to use my coins without my consent.
Anyway, this has been my experience. So future users be mindful of your coin balance if you intend to purchase any..Artémis_Version: 2.7.1
The appMy experience with the app is that only sporadically do I see the photos that go along with my story The Return. There are no instructions. It is hit and miss..Stosha FlowerVersion: 2.7.1
App won’t openI having a hard time getting the app open I want to listen to my story but it won’t open up I don’t know what going on with the app
Please help.Rudegalll_Version: 2.7.0
Ridiculously expensive!Imagine paying 2$ for 3 episode of a 1500 episode audio book? Even if Im rich, it’s not wise to waste my money like this! I would rather buy a book and read it my self instead of being insulted spending money on this app!.AliHajhosseiniVersion: 2.7.0
Coins are too expensiveGood stories but to expensive. At 1/10 the price maby you guys would have more poeple listen to the stories.Anti poison....Version: 2.6.9
Can’t watch video on the iphone lastest iosI will update if the video is working..RockitandloveitVersion: 2.6.8
Useless appThe shorts minutes long are disastrous. No beginning and no end. I regret even viewing any of these horrible stories. Do not understand the purpose. Would not recommend this.Tamales60Version: 2.6.8
Scam Scam ScamDo not bother with this scam or the fake reviews. Charged me more than $30, and there is no clear way to get support to fix it. Search real reviews and complaints from Google..Usman_rahmanVersion: 2.6.8
The returnThere should be a way to find out how many episodes are involved in each ‘book’ since over 900 in this book is ridiculous. The first several episodes were great because they were fluid… but yr narrator was dreadful. Realizing I had to wade through payment or videos to read the rest of the story is quite deceitful and dishonest and misleading. I’m sure you can do better to please your public and keep us interested. Can I pay a certain. Amount to have full access to the whole story? Feb 2 2024, Calgary Canada.CakesbyDVersion: 2.6.8
Stories I have partly seen r great just wish it didn’t cost moneyI have tried downloading it as it came up on my feed and I got really into some of the stories, well most. I didn’t end up keeping the download when it said I had to pay so much to listen I don’t have a whole lot of money so unfortunately I can’t get it. But do listen to parts of them never knowing the ending to ones that r on my feed.Shawna-wVersion: 2.6.7
Totally different after chapter 8On chapter 8 it’s only a annoying voice telling the rest of the story with shuffling pictures of and old guy, a photoshop woman, a kid and a party table set up.Resort12Version: 2.6.6
Release datesRelease dates are always changing. Ridiculous waiting for a episode to release and then it changes..JLEO28Version: 2.6.6
It’s okayThe stories are great. But I’m keep getting notifications saying a new episode of my book is unlocked but it doesn’t unlock any and I’m seriously tired of buy them!!! I’ve been waiting 3 days for it to unlock 1 chapter and for this it make the app horrible.Kayla2669Version: 2.6.6
Saving NoraGreat stories very interesting.. but the free stories do not load after you wait a day! Actually paid to keep listening. Now deleting the app because it won’t give me the free episodes after waiting 2 days. Not paying more the stories are like 1000 episodes 🙄 #notimpressed….Missdior755Version: 2.6.6
Terrible customer service no help when you don’t get your due coinsIt’s been almost 2 months since I took offer with athena and still no coins even after over 25 emails. They just reply same bizarre comment and do nothing. I’m so disappointed and deceived.JeanmarcderyVersion: 2.6.4
They are greedyThe app is fine, stories are not bad but, it cost 7 coins per episode, one novel is abt 1500 episode, 900 coins is $99, so it cost abt $215 to ready just one now, that is ridiculous, what happened to just making the app a monthly subscription? I am certainly not paying that much to read one novel and I bet most people will not be either, all my streaming apps put together does not cost that much monthly, hell I do not even pay that much for my phone or home internet bill monthly. Their greed is their down fall. It’s a big NO for me..Nwokedi AdaezeVersion: 2.6.4
TerribleMediocre and unfinished story. After 69 chapters there was no more free chapters. I bought coins then had unauthorized payments from my credit card. My card company alerted me and had to send me a new credit card as I’m in Canada and was told someone from the USA had gotten my card info after I purchased coins. I deleted this app and it’s data..ShanilieVersion: 2.6.3
Run ads each episodeIf you want to make more money just open ads rather than making people to buy coin. The more people can play each day the more you can make money rather than selling coins. If i can listen 20 episodes per day and ads running in each episode you make more money than 1 free episode per day which you dont get any..Geedsey20Version: 2.6.3
Good app.Not a fan of waiting for new episodes, isn’t work buying cause all the books are pretty much the same, they are have the same kind of story line..CrystalDee09Version: 2.6.3
Going backwardsI was listening to one of the stories on FM, and it was one chapter or episode a day when going back to listen to the next chapter, the four that I have previously listened to have been locked and said I have to pay now I have to wait four days in order to be back where I had last listen to. Waste of time.👎.44diamondzVersion: 2.6.3
AnnoyingThis is annoying..
what’s the updating the app if you just have one episode per day.
I shouldn’t updated, because before I have 5 episodes per day.. ugh...PotwonneiVersion: 2.6.3
Good but bad.The stories are five out of five. But the management I don't think they are doing good job I'm listening
5 stories with the episode more than eight 1800 but after 150 episodes now they only play one episode per day. Are they want us to listen for 10 years to complete a story? It really sucks..XcvbccxVersion: 2.6.2
