It’s more cost efficient and privacy friendly to buy paperbacks/ebooks or borrow books from your local library. Trust me, the trackers and ads in this app are insane. Free coins don’t come by often enough + 1 hr wait time to unlock the next chapter = they want you to buy coins to read. But […]

This app will freeze in the middle of a chapter and request money to continue. Thinking that it was near the end of the book, I paid three times ($4.99-14.99 each). The last time that it requested more money, $99.99 was the only option. I had to pay $100 to read the rest of the […]

Love the books. I spent some money to keep reading, which is fine, books cost money. But, there should be an option that if you like the book, you can purchase it. Also, the waiting every hour for 1 free page is irritating. I purchased coins and then, they went faster than I anticipated, so […]

The stories are great! Wait times of an hour are reasonable, but the chapters are entirely too short and the books are too long (comprised of hundreds of chapters). To pay to read the whole book would cost hundreds of dollars. It would be better if the books were reasonably priced to buy out right. […]

12/14/21…I like that there is are more offers for free coins as that was not a few years ago. Yes you get a few pages for free. And buying the pages aren’t an issue. However, my problem is with the subscriptions. Yes the coins are only valid for the month, but if you have a […]

Rip off. Chapters are 1-2 pages. There are 60+ chapters in a book. Have to buy coins to read past chapter 10. Coins are 3 for 99 cents and it takes 3 coins to buy a chapter (so like $50 to read a book – they think they’ll get you because you just do it […]

The app itself is good, it’s easy to earn coins or wait for chapters and the good news is, if you wait to open a chapter, it remains unlocked. I’ve used other apps that have it to back to being locked after 7 days. The webcomics are really good but small selection. I take a […]

I enjoy the app and the stories, but the cost of coins and the amount of time you have to wait for free tickets is absurd. The chapters in most of the stories are so short, you can read them in a couple minutes. I could by a paperback copy of the story with less […]

Some of the writing has really bad grammar/editing mistakes. I know the writers are putting out chapters quickly, but some errors are so bad that I have to go back and re-read the paragraph. In addition, you HAVE to “pay” coins to read the last chapters. So, even if you “wait” the appropriate time, you […]

I enjoy this app. I wish that it gave you the ability to categorize your library. For ex. Books I’ve finished separate from current reads. And it can be expensive! I’ve spent $30 already on reading a book which is still ongoing. I can read slow(1 chapter a day when its offered for free). But […]

I downloaded Radish for one book I started reading on Wattpad. The quality of the writing is great, but it’s WAY too expensive to keep buying chapters. At full price, each chapter costs 50 cents. I can purchase plenty of great novels for a few dollars, or just check stuff out online from my library. […]

I’ve really enjoyed this app! There are enough “wait to read” books that I don’t feel like I’m being swindled, and there are some great stories on it! Lots of variety, and I’ve found some new fav authors! UNTIL, the app was updated and in the course of about 2hrs, I went from accessing all […]

While the stories are good, the app is misleading. It says you can earn free coins on the daily draw (although I only ever win 1 or 3 coins), and by watching videos. It always says videos are available, but every time I click on them, a pop-up says no videos are available! They just […]

Overall experience so far has been a mixed bag. App has a wide variety of titles to choose from but is a little confusing on how to find them once in your library. There are promotions and freebies on offer almost constantly, however most stories reach a pay-per-chapter point and then all bets are off. […]

I’m so upset about the closing of this app, as a long time subscriber I feel my money has been thrown away. It wouldn’t be as bad if I could still read the chapters that I’VE PAID FOR! This app has always been my favorite. I’ve relied on it to help my mental health and […]

Got some really ‘good’ stories on here! Although, the vids to get coins will work sometimes, but, not always. Still a great eReader overall! Better than sum. But why all of a sudden, we have to use our coins just to continue reading a story?! I’ll actually be glad when those coins go, at the […]

I’m sad to lose Radish at the end of the yr. It’s my favorite reading app. But we will NOT be losing access to unlocked chapters. After Dec31, we lose the ability to spend coins, there will be no more updates, & we lose access to any *unlocked* chapters, but anything in your Library, Bookmarks, […]

This has been my absolute favorite reading app for paranormal/romance/mc etc… I have been a reader on Radish almost their entire decade. I am sad to see them shutting down. I only wish they had given readers a warning before taking away the ability to buy/earn coins to unlock locked chapters 4 months prior to […]

This app used to be one of my favorites. I read it every night, sometimes for hours, never spending money. I watched ads and played games to earn chapters. I figured out their system and loved it. Until they decided to shut down. Now they are screwing us raw. It’s really bad. It’s too the […]

been a loyal reader for several years now & extremely upset to discover Radish plans to shut down! I’m probably 1 of many that feel this way & I hope that enough ppl speak up so that maybe we can change this! I’ve used several apps over the years but this one has had the […]
