annoyingly expensive! There is no package you can buy that lets you read the whole book. I finished both a monthly coin package and a quarterly package. They lasted 2 days. I don't want to jump through hoops. I want to read a book for less than$100 without having to watch ads and drag it out. This app sucks!!!!!

The story I started is very intriguing inspite of the authors first language clearly not being English (which I don't mind but others might find it difficult) but the amount of time I have spent in trying to earn coins to read is insane & the cost of buying coins is redicilious as many others have mentioned. I tried listening to an audio book (to earn 10 pearls) and it is clearly AI with no pauses between sentences, it's hard to catch when characters POV switches & lots of mispronounced words.

I love their old app but not this one, except for the books. They have 9 different daily task to do with 2-8 different items in each one. This is to receive coins/points to read for free. There are also watch the ads also to get free coins/points to read for free. But you can't watch the ads(0/8) until you do the tasks first. I have at least 15 reading apps and none of them make you do the task to watch the ads, you can just watch the ads to get the coins/points. And they only say do the task.

you know what would be great? if the watch the ad for coins button did just that. don't call it that if you want someone to jump through hoops to get 5 coins. *edit* lost another star. watch videos to read next chapter should work as advertised. I don't want to click 10 ads and stories and scroll and hit back 20 times to get to the part where I actually get the video you make me watch for it all to count. do better. if the task is videos make it just videos. false advertisement at its finest

this app has made me so angry. so it will let you read a book. but it is so expensive it's outrageous. it's design sucks. it gets you interested in a story and then basically says nope no more unless you pay. yes you can watch commercials to unlock a chapter they say 2 commercials to unlock, it's actually 4, then you can only unlock 2 chapters per day. and if you actually pay 5.00 that's only unlocks about 4 to 5 chapter. then it's back to the previous way of unlocking. it's a ripoff.
