it's ok. I paid for a membership and can't even read books without spending even more money and there is no option to just pay for the book outright instead all you get is 10 coins a day when quite literally every chapter of every book is 30+ coins. You can watch a bunch of ads if you feel like wasting your time, but honestly if I pay for a membership I shouldn't have to watch more ads to be allowed to use the app as intended.

Was enjoying the book, but they want more money every few chapters. I dont mind a monthly subscription or paying per book. However, not allowing customers to finish a book before charging more is just ridiculous. I paid the membership fee plus an extra 4.99 to keep reading. I got through 3 or 4 more chapters before they wanted to charge more to continue. Thanks, but no thanks. I'm not spending a ridiculous amount of money to finish one book.
As things upgrade within the app and website. I am forced to buy coins or free pass to get ahead with reading and then if I want to get more I would have to pay more for the premium reader. Events are trash since it's mostly advocating spending money to get useless titles. I'm disappointed this is turning to a money scam reading app. Either way you can get some good free reads here and there if the writer doesn't drop the book. they cut off the cheaper option after spending a certain amount.
Things are not explained well when you purchase stuff. To unlock all the chapters, you will end up spending more than the price for an actual book. They refuse to refund you when you pay for the wrong thing, even though it was their poor wording on the app that made you misunderstand what you were buying. They are not even properly edited and end up reading more like fanfiction than original stories in many cases. Don't waste your time or money, unless you can afford $21+ to unlock one story.
Around 4 years ago I paid for 3/4 books on the then site for this app. The books were good and I was looking forward to going back and re-reading them. Fast forward to a couple weeks ago I started reading a book on social media and liked the story so I downloaded the app and low and behold there were the books that I had already paid for and enjoyed. Today I went to start re-reading one and suddenly its asking me to pay to unlock them AGAIN. Waste of money if you can't keep the content.
Very disappointed with the app I know that no app is completely free. However, there are way too many unnecessary things and it's very difficult to unlock chapters without paying being the only option. I was reading a book and really enjoyed it, but it was overly complicated. Unlike other apps where all I have to do is watch a few ads or read a couple of articles. To be honest I'm going to uninstall this app.
Honestly, I won't lie it is a pretty good reading service due to the fact that it has a multitude of options sometimes free or not. Even if it isn't free, you get to read 40 chapters first, then decide if you continue. All in all, it is easy to use, read, etc. There is a weird problem with it that I noticed, it keeps changing text size even though I haven't been changing the settings on my phone nor on the apps settings itself for reading other than that its basically just good for fanfics
I subscribed hoping to binge a single series, but the monthly plan only gave ~500 coins—far too little, leaving most chapters locked. At that rate it would take years to finish. When I asked support (Carlo) for help, they explained the system isn’t designed for binge readers, and they refused a refund even though I hadn’t used a coin. Very misleading and not reader-friendly. I can’t recommend this app to anyone who wants to actually enjoy their stories.
So this is actually a really great app. I'm ranking it as 2 stars because it is near-impossible for free users if your interest are what is featured. if you want to read something specific, you won't be able to without watching an ad for every single page, multiple ads per page as you continue. If you don't mind spending money, this is a phenomenal app. I'm just a cheapskate who wanted to read without paying.
i downloaded the app and got it all set up. i read until it asked for money , and I bought $4.99 of points, and figured it would let me read the rest of the comic. nope! i got like one more chapter. so I paid $4.99 again to read some more, because it said the next bit was only 30 points, so I bought the 250 points thinking i could finish the story now, right? $10 in I should get one story nope! somehow 2 min more reading and suddenly my balance is too low to continue. I am deleting the app.
