I love the stories, plenty to choose from with different genres. It is a pretty good app BUT it is too costly to top up. There not many ways to earn so many points ..... points needed to finish a story. After i finish the story I'm on, I will probably delete this app. I don't have that kind of money just to spend on reading :'( I would give it 5 stars if it wasn't so expensive to buy the points needed.

this app is the wost ever. you have to watch close to 4 minutes of adds for a 1 minute episode. what a waste of time. you purchase an amount and only get 5 or 6 episodes. Who wants to spend over $30.00 for one movie. it only cost you less than $10.00 to go see a movie in the theater. I recommend to people go somewhere else and don't waste your money on this platform
Terrible experience on this app. I've watched ads trying to claim rewards and it doesn't register that I have watched them. I get no credits. even the Days in row that I have watch doesn't work correctly and tells me I'm still on day 1 most of the time. episodes are way to expensive to be worth the wait for getting credits and no way I'm paying for credits that will be used up before I'm done with a series. because they just keep costing more to unlock. very unhappy with the user interface.
Worst app ever! I fell for the ad I saw through in a game I was playing. I listened to a short story and decided that I would like to to hear the entire story so I downloaded it. What you dont see is the astronomical price they want you to pay about 3/4 into the story on the app. You could almost pay an entire year of internet service for the cost of their year subscription. Beware and do yourself a favor and dont download this!
I was enjoying the ad that was advertising this app. it showed me the one with the Celine turned Stella Sleep Program, and I got the gist of the story so I went to download the app to finish the show but I could only get to as far as what was already shown in the ad preview. after "catching up" on the show the only option to finish it was to "collect" coins to unlock episodes but really they just want you to pay for the coins so you can finish your show. TLDR: This app is just a money grab 🙄
Chapters are more like social media clips, very short. Ads are more than 60 seconds each. And if you select watch ads to earn points, it actually USES any points you already saved up in order to watch the clips that you are supposed to be earning points on. You actually end up with less points than you started with. I was going to watch the end of this movie I started, but it's been 4 DAYS! That's ridiculous. I'll be uninstalling asap. And $30 is too much to spend on poor acting.
30 dollars for a WEEKLY subscription is genuinely ridiculous. Especially when the episodes are so short. The amount of ads I've watched has been basically the same as, if not more than, the amount of actual content. It's even worse when a portion of each episode is taken up by needless flashbacks from the previous episode. I'll give it two stars though, because sometimes you just want some mindless drama-filled drivel to watch, and this is quite good for that.
Got this because the advertisement on Instagram said there were no ads and that it was 100% free. BIGGEST LIE EVER. It is absolutely INSANE that I was able to watch more of a story in the advertisement than when I downloaded the app. I watched a movie in the ad and it said to get the app for the full version, but I didn't even get to the part where I left off when it was telling me to PAY to watch more. Zero isn't an option so I give you one star.
The stories can captivate, but can be simple, predictable, and melodramatic. Despite that, a bit of schlock can still be fun and satisfying. Like a favorite junk food. That said, I agree with others about pricing. Subscribing could be good, but lower quality content over double the price of big name services is absurd. A la carte price isn't better and worse is intentionally unclear. And free credits require excessive ads, connecting socials, etc. It's not scammy, but is definitely scummy.
Another borderline cash grab, for the most part. Mostly overacting, but they're designed to get you hooked and then charge out the behind for credits for series. Yeah you can watch ads, but you progress ever so slowly that way as well, and there are limits. There's subscriptions too, but at over $30 a month for that, YouTube premium or Netflix has much higher quality for cheaper. Wanted over $15 just to get halfway through a 50 ep series. Ridiculous pricing for subpar quality. Just not worth it
