I am not one for reading, not really. My friend had suggested the app and I read a couple of books and I was hooked. The app also stops you from reading after a certain point and sets a timer for the next chapter to be available so you’re not spending hours compelled in the same book, making you want to read more. The app is easily accesible, working like a streaming service like Netflix. There are no adds and you can browse from a wide variety of books.
Reading “Colt” right now. I’m already hooked. Honestly I haven’t had the app long but, the design is simple. Pretty basic, so the controls are easy to learn. The stories are pretty intresting too. Although, to be honest not really worth spending (as of right now). Wish we could earn more points tho. Most of the points we earn are very low. A video could at least be worth 5 pts. instead or 2. Overall, not bad. Definitely an app to use when you’re bored.
The app is nice, simple to use, and the stores are good for the most part. My main issue is the earning points function, and the slow loading. I just wanna read a story, and it takes nearly 20 minutes just to get the app to even load once the main screen is opened. Reading should be simple. Not so aggravating that you’d rather do anything else than read the story you have become addicted to.
I love to read but just didn’t have the time to walk around carrying a book so having this app handy really helps. The stories are immersive and get you hooked quickly. Appreciate the writing and that it has minimal to no grammatical errors. The stories flow nicely and keep you wanting for more. Only issue I’ve had is trying to subscribe to the app multiple time and an error message keeps appearing. It will only let me purchase chapters for some reason.
Of all the reading apps out there this one is my favorite. Good stories and I love their subscription model over the other extremely overpriced coin based apps where you end up paying $50+ for a single book. My only gripes with this app are that you don’t know if a story is finished when you look at the summary and I’ve had a lot of problems getting the app just to open up. It will spend several minutes just to load and I usually have to restart it or even reinstall if it gets bad enough
Time gated reading is annoying. I don’t like that it could take several days or even weeks to finish one story, especially since it takes a matter of seconds to finish one chapter. You can buy points to unlock more chapters, but you’re paying as much as it would cost to buy one full book anywhere else just to read a few more chapters AKA just a few more seconds of one book. That’s insane.
👍🏻👍🏻 I’m a heavy reader. There’s always something good to find! I appreciate that all series/books are together in the chapter’s list and the summaries with content warnings! Your writers are amazing! Only issues I’ve had trouble with…. *App can take too long to load. *Un-bookmark a book from my library lags also. Usually ending with just a black screen. *Book reappearing back into my library. Especially annoying having to sit around waiting for it to un-bookmark AGAIN.
Lately this app has been very glitchy. It takes a long time to load and sometimes the videos you watch for points don’t work at all and then it says you’ve finished them all when you haven’t. The stories are good. There are some mistakes of course and I’m still waiting for more chapters on certain books but definitely enjoyable
Another edit. Highly recommend this app. No ads ever. Free version u get to read 1 chapter from each book every 6 hrs. If your reading multiple books like I do, this is not a problem. ****HOWEVER, I got in earlier today and read without a problem. Tried again tonight and it just spins. Tried uninstalling app and reinstalling it because that’s always fixed any issue in the past but it didn’t this time. I can’t open the app and I’m having serious withdrawals. Help!!!****Still won’t load! 12/26
Got into a book & paid like $20 to buy points, but I got to a chapter in the book where points won’t unlock anymore and I have to spend $70 for a year subscription to finish reading and I still have $10-$15 worth of points that I can’t use. I wouldn’t mind a monthly fee, but asking $70 at one time for a years subscription seems insane. I don’t know if I would even like to read more than a book or two. Very disappointing.
Love the app has good stories. Gave three stars because most books have not been completed or have not been proofread. The app could use a revamp of sorts out in categories like new releases, not completed, books that are from the same author,what is in progress, etc.. like that. Fix the glitch with being able to remove books I read from my library.
Had a previous review. Decided to start over. I hate how you can finish a book, then it disappears from your library. On occasion it will come back. But then goes away again. Have one story, Gideon, that I like to reread. The chapters are out of order. Very irritating. Tried finding a reason why the chapters maybe out of order or why books disappear from my library to no avail. Kinda disappointing.
I enjoy the books I’ve dived into so far. Nicely written. Some could use more details. But over all, good reads. I don’t like the 6hr wait to unlock a chapter for free. If the purchase points offered a smaller package, I would definitely consider it. I do like the options offered to get free points. More options would be nice for future freebies since some are a one time offer, Limiting your ability to get free chapters. It would be nice to have a “tip “option for the author you enjoy.
I’m new to the app, but so far so good mostly. The 6 hour wait time is a bit much for such short chapters to the book I’ve started. Two hours would be more exceptable, six hours to read 3-4 pages at a time is quite a bit excessive, but the first story I’ve chosen to read is so far a good read. I hope all of the stories are just as good, but longer chapters would be a sizable upgrade. It takes me 10 or less minutes to read a chapter and then wait 6 hours to read another 10mins.
I absolutely love this platform. It’s easy to navigate, easy to read the chapters, and has mostly good content. The only downfall would be the wait time between chapters and the only option to pay in full for the premium. If you’re looking for a quick read or something to keep you reading everyday, this the app.
I gave 5 stars at first but now give 3 because they refuse to release the second book/audobook of a popular advertised book they bought rights for, from the author. 😠 This is my first time reading an immersive novel. I LOVE IT!!! Ive always loved reading and would be in another world for hours with just regular books. But this is something else, the sounds and music provided are on point for the content. Its magical, it takes me away from reality temporarily, which is the best stress relief.
This app is really great, and I love all the stories. I enjoy the audio books and the sound effects added to some of the stories. I just wish we could read locked chapters with ads or something, I can’t afford to buy points, and it’s hard to earn them. I enjoy reading using this app but I wish I could have more unlocked chapters
The stories are decent and definitely better written than some of the other apps I’ve read on, but you have to wait between chapters or pay to keep reading. The wait gets long and can be anywhere from 5 to 24 hours in my experience. I’m losing interest in the stories waiting that long and can’t spend money to keep reading. I like the app, but I think they need to re think how they make chapters available.
So far liking the app.. I’ve begun one book so far the lycans queen..but I’ll definitely be reading more!! The whole points system is a little tough but hey it is worth it so far. Can’t wait to dive in and see all the options of books!! I absolutely love to read and practically free reading shoot why not!!! I do wish the app as made for laptops though as the phone is small for my eyes to see and painful for my neuropathy. Maybe soon y’all could create this app for laptops as I couldn’t find one.
Overall good stories so far. I think I would prefer an flat cost/ points for a full book versus chapters. Having to wait 5+ hours for a chapter sucks. I understand you get people to pay that way for a subscription, but it’s kind of irritating when you really get into a book. I also will say it’s cheaper than your big name ebooks/audio books. If you like romance and supernatural stories this is a great app for you.
So, as someone who used to love to read, I unfortunately had to stop with physical books because of my lack of focus and medical issues with my head that prevented the use of glasses. Recently, I’ve been wanting to get back into reading and this is one of the first apps that I’ve downloaded that actually helped me get back into the groove, haha. I love the variety of stories and the audiobook option, all in all I’ve had a great experience with this app. ^^
Downloaded this app because I needed something to read while feeding my baby. I like it there’s some amazing stories like bantering with murder (my personal favorite). There’s enough stories to cycle while waiting for chapters the only downfall it takes a long time to load and sometimes freezes on the selection screen. Other than that I love it so far.
I like this app so far. I wish there was a choice to purchase monthly use – right now it’s 3 months & a year or so many points at a time. I would definitely do monthly though. The books are great! The app is easy to use & not bad to wait 6 hours to get back to it if you don’t want to buy. Chapters could be a little longer though for waiting or maybe 2 Chapters for waiting? Just a thought😉
Love the books! They really keep my interest. The only thing that hase frustrated is the tech support.i have been having a problem for a week and it is still not resolved. I have lost progress on a few books and lost points at the same time. I do still enjoy the books. Ok I think it’s mostly fixed. This new book really has my interest from the first chapter! However I am frustrated with the long waits between chapters and new chapters being posted by the athors.
It’s different than other apps. I like that you can get more points with every week and the ads are also a good option for extra points. However it’s a little difficult when you are so immersed in a story and can’t read further without becoming a member (annual fee) which to be honest the books should have better grammar for that price. Overall it’s good for some light reading.
This is one of the best reading apps I’ve used! It ZERO ads and has thousands of stories to fit your liking. Many books also have the option the “Unmute” meaning, you can listen to the stories’ sounds (Unless it’s background music🙄🙄)! The only thing that bugs me a little is the amount of time you have to wait (unless the book is free). SIX hours. It’s sorta a thing where you should get a numerous amount of books to read.
Really like the layout of the app. I like that it’s wait until free to read. I wish there was more free coin options. Or that it was only a four hour wait not six. Sometimes it stays frozen when loading and I have to close the app and re open to read again which is not a deal breaker but I do wish was smoother. The books are pretty good I think. Definitely will be using in the future.
Good stories. Some have grammar errors but still nice reads. Would love to see more options for earning points to unlock chapters without the wait or having to buy the subscription bc it’s crazy expensive. Also, the “free points” options like ex. “Like our tiktok page”….none of them work. I get an error for all of them. Wish there was a way to add a screenshot to show what it says.
Honestly I love the way the webnovels are immersive. When some of them describe a vivid scene you can listen to what is described through headphones. And when you’re just reading the text without the scenery it has music in the background anyways. I like this a lot more because it captures my attention and draws me into what is happening in the plot and in each scene. I think that it’s a very creative way to make reading more enjoyable.
It’s not bad. There are grammar issues. I think the wait if a bit long for how long the chapters are written! If you watch ads and wait, then it’s not too bad! Update: I’ve now had to uninstall and install about 5 times now because if you use it long enough it’ll start loading very slowly. It’s absolutely annoying and the only way to fix it is to uninstall and reinstall the damn app. I think it somehow has gotten worse.
The stories are interesting and well written. I haven’t run into any grammatical or typographical errors like you find in some of the apps. So far I’ve only read the stories and haven’t had the chance to try the audiobooks. My biggest gripe is you can only read one chapter at a time without either waiting 6 hours for the next to unlock or spending points to unlock it early. Free points are only earned at a minimum, and paid points equal more than buying a paperback copy would cost.
Stories are great, very few grammar or spelling mistakes. However, they need more options for gaining coins to unlock chapters when you don’t want to wait 6 hours between each. It’s very frustrating. There’s a limit to how many videos you can watch a day, and the only other viable option is to Ultimately pay for them. Otherwise, this app has potential
The app has a ton of stories, but it is by far the biggest app on my phone and also the absolute slowest. Other reader apps have just as many books, if not more, and load and browse at normal speeds. This app takes 5 to 10 minutes just to get into a story and sometimes I even have trouble getting that far, like it just won’t load anything at all. Crazy, for the amount of space it takes up I could individually download each story onto my phone and I think have less storage taken up.
I don’t love the 6 hour wait time, but 9/10 times the chapter is worth the wait and has me drooling in anticipation. I do wish it would load more often. It seems to pick and choose when to work, causing me to lose a reading streak. Points are a fair price or easy enough to earn, but the subscription is the best option. The only other downside , it only lets me read 3 books at a time without killing the timers on the earlier reads. Other than that, it’s the best reading app I’ve tried.
I am new to the app. I kept seeing ads for Millennium Wolves. I finally caved and downloaded the app to read the book. I don’t care for the lack of info on the writer and the fact that the books aren’t labeled as book 1, book 2, etc. Also I wish there was a 1 month option instead if only a 3 or 6 month subscription. It will be a waste if I get a 3 month subscription and don’t find another book to read. I’ve only made it to chapter 8, but at least the book seems good so far.
I love that they give you a yearly a 3 month subscription option. It’s definitely cheaper in the long run to buy the subscription unless you’re alright with waiting 6 hours between chapters of your books. Unlimited number of books you can start at once though and they save your own library. I hate the lag of the app and how sometimes it restarts where I am or doesn’t save my progress.
I love the stories. I have used this app for a while. The only problem that I have ever encountered is sometimes the chapters not loading but it is not a deal breaker for me because it is quickly fixed. I have even contacted customer support for missing points for reading streaks and was given my points soon after. Keep up the great work. 👍
Update: I was able to finish the books I was reading that had I had gotten errors on thanks to the developers. Update: uninstalled and reinstalled made the app load faster. But I still cant finish the book I was reading. Argh! I like this app but it runs slow. And while reading book 5 of the arrangement chapters 28-30 will not Load. Which really makes me mad I’m invested in the story and can’t finish it. Please fix. I would give more stars if the app loaded faster.
It’s a good app, lots of books to read. Edited: I changed my rating from 4 down to 2. For some reason, all the books in my library keep removing themselves and I have to start the book all over again. I was almost done with all of them. I contacted support and nothing happened. I’m frustrated. Edit 2: So to fix my books restarting, I had to uninstall and reinstall the app. That’s a bit ridiculous.
First off, I get frustrated at the pay by chapter ploy and by the end you end up paying for WAY more than a normal book costs. Personally, maybe pay by book if you have to pay, for max $5-10 per book. You’d get way more traffic that way too. The wait time isn’t bad IF it actually works. It’s not counted my wait times twice now. Counting a chp again. Frustrating. 😡 I like the immersion sounds though. It really does add a new layer to the book and to the play in your head while reading.😊
