Reviews and Complaints

It’s ridiculous that you have to purchase each chapter. Just put a total amount for the WHOLE story and you would have more subscribers. Your stories are a great read but not so great that I can’t walk away without finishing the story. You would get more subscribers, happy satisfied, subscribers if you just had a total price per story, NOT charge for each chapter.

The story was good until I figure out how much I was spending and how many hundreds of dollars more I would need to finish the book. I’m sad I won’t be continuing the story but no story’s is worth the price they are asking.
Please don’t bother responding to me with your prices are fair or something like that. I’m on other book apps that are don’t this money hungry.

This apps is over charging. I bought coins worth 99cents and you guys charged me additional $34.99 I thought maybe it’s Apple Pay mistake so I thought I should try it again. I bought $19.99 coins and you guys charged me additional two bills which is $14.99 and $11.99. Your books really have a good stories but you guys are ripping people off by charging more than they buy. I hope you guys could fix this issues.

Leer un libro te puede salir sobre $500 ya que una novela contiene 1,800 capítulos y para poder desbloquear cada capítulo sale carísimo, por ejemplo yo compré la oferta de $20.00 la cual es la más cara u solo pude leer sobre 50 capítulo. Si multiplicamos el libro saldría a $750.00. Fatal no la
Bajen porque van a empezar a leer los libros que son muy buenos y van a querer seguir y ahí es donde viene el robo. Espero que les sirva.

Although some of the best books on any of these they are very lengthy and most go on for over 500 chapters most are not complete and I think the site is a bit tough to use. That being said I adore the book I am reading now.. but when it is done… I intend to delete the app as I get sucked in far to often and spend way to much to read the books. But then all the sites seem to be the same… costly and sometimes frustrating due to cost.

No story is worth what you are chargeing. It started out great and then I went to the reviews to se how much it’s going to cost me per chapter and it’s not worth it. You can go get a novel out of the bookstore and it’s not going to cost you more than 20 bucks and if it’s a story like this, it’ll probably be about $10. If you can’t charge that amount, then someone needs to just close down your site because you’re ripping people off.

The books are pretty good but the cost is ridiculous. You’ll end up spending $200 a book. Then there’s books that are never ending. Way too expensive. These books are not market price. There are much better reading apps than this one and they cost way less. His and her marriage is decent enough but even that’s getting annoying. All these chapters in about 1000 and they still don’t know they parent one another’s child. This app is trash.

I am an avid reader. I was hooked with the first set of chapters, so when the information came up to buy to continue reading. I invested, but after reading again. It looked me out. So I order to continue reading I have to invest a further $9.00. This is ridiculous, who does this?
As much as I enjoyed my 42 chapters, I am not investing in any more of this side show. Everyone trying to get rich quick. A subscription for one month is 9.99. For streaming, and that is 30 days.

I love reading and the story I am reading now is great. Unfortunately, I probably won’t finish because it costs too much. I understand you want to make money but gouging readers isn’t the way to do it. I think you would get a lot more readers if it was more affordable. I’m not even a quarter of the way through the book and I’ve already spent $40! That’s just greedy on your part. Let me know when you decide to make your books more affordable and I’d be glad to pay.

Sincerely,
Not a Millionaire

Do not get this app. It cost SOOO much money to read a book and the chapters go into the hundreds…thousands sometimes. There isn’t even a way to earn coins by reading like other apps like this. Yes the stories are good but if I have to pay $50-$60 (maybe more) for a book it feels like a whole scam. I was reading His and Her marriage and then I found out that the story is in the thousands (1050 to be exact). The free chapters end at chapter 18. Yeah I’m not paying for the rest of the story. BYE.

Run from this platform as they just want your money. I love to read and this platform is horrible.

Books is ok. I have spent more money to try and finish a book and not be able to without spending more money.

They charge a different way. I haven’t figured it out. It is either by page or chapter, not by the book.

The book I stopped reading at chapter 157 or 158 after spending almost $40 was not even close to being done.

Author is probable paid to write an extra long story to receive more money.

I would not download this app. It is miss leading when it says free, because it is not. It gives you a few chapters of a fairly decent written novel but just when its getting good the have locks on the chapters and you have to paid to unlock them and that cost more than buying a newly released hard back novel for the New York sellers best book. Don’t fall for it because you could end up spending over a hundred dollars to read one book that has several errors in it. Don’t do it, one of the biggest mistake I ever made.

I have been reading His and Her marriage and I am over $100 into this in chapter 800 and there is no end in sight! obviously I am completely wrapped up in this and this has been going on over a period of two weeks but I’m going to have to stop because there is absolutely no way you would go to the bookstore and spend $100 on a book….that is insane! You would end up spending well over $200 reading this book and that’s if it ever ends! This is a total scam! they always answer everyone’s reviews saying that they’re trying to charge a fair price for each book, but no one in their right mind pays more than $50 to read a book.

I just started reading and it said read for free then I’m asked to pay. These chapters are to short and when I tried to add my credit card it sent red flag to both companies and declined. This really makes me feel like people are being scammed. The book I started reading seem to be a good book but I’m not going to pay anyone more than these books are worth. I know many real authors and their books don’t have all these chapters and books only cost $15 to maybe $25. That’s enough and more than that it’s just a rip off. Better off writing your own, getting a monthly membership with kindle, or buying at a book store! This is ridiculous and I won’t be spending my money like this. Not worth it

I decided to download the app because I read the beginning of one of the stories on FB, I was really intrigued and said eff it, why not?!? After all it said FREEEEE. Well what you read advertised on FB is free, in order to continue you need to buy coins to unlock the rest, what they don’t tell you is that it won’t be the rest of the book just a portion, and guess what, once you’re done with that you’ll need to purchase more. Paid 9.99 for 700 coins to unlock, then I was asked for more coins to continue and then realized I only had 10 coins left. They don’t tell you how much of the book is left how many pages you get when unlocking. The stories aren’t even written that well, for 10 bucks I can get a full book on Amazon, or a subscription to kindle. Don’t waste your time and money.

Bound by Fate - Spent $75 for 110 chapters. And guess what? There are 774 chapters to go! .
And here’s the thing! I completed the 10 videos they allow you to watch so I can save points and continue watching at least for a few more chapters, but even that, they took them away ‍♀️- when I logged back in, they were all gone!

Yes, they have great books, but I’m afraid I have to disagree; they are not well written and edited- words are repetitive. They are not great apps. Yes, you can watch videos for free reading, but you will be watching two videos for one chapter, which are very short. So you will get commercial breaks after a minute.

Too expensive indeed, and I couldn’t wait for 3-5 months to finish the book and had no time to watch videos every day just to save points, and they ended up taking it all away. I am so sad, but I accepted now that I Will never finish the story! I have to move on.

I took the liberty of crunching some numbers and doing a little bit of research so that my claim that this app being unworthy of those of us that work hard for our money, that enjoy the mental escape while traversing through another's literary work of art. Those of us that love the entertainment that comes with indulging in our favorite pastime of imagination, while not having to consider filing a police report for the grand larceny committed each and every time it's time to purchase the next chapter.

Now, I know that the one star, all caps and slightly scathing first paragraph might make it seem like I am being petty towards this reading application. I am not. However, I am bothered enough to take the time to express my justified dislike for how the Developers and/or the writer, comes off as completely acquisitive or in layman's terms, greedy. I'm not sure who sets the prices, hence why I included both parties. Moving on to my proof, because men lie, women lie, but numbers don't!

The story I have saved in my library (that I know I won't be finishing in this lifetime because the bonuses that you can earn aren't enough for even one chapter per day), has 15 chapters that are free and they are poorly edited. I won't get into the details about the editing, it's not relevant. I merely bring it up because with all of the bonuses I earned with being a new member and the 99¢ I spent for a few extra coins and bonus, I was able to unlock a few chapters, which were also poorly edited.

Though my calculations are very far below accuracy, even the low ball numbers I'm going to present will still be offensive. The total for all 10 chapters was 1,430, averaging 143 Coins/chapter, which is very generous. Chapter 21 alone is 156 Coins! This story has 945 chapters, which means 135,135 Coins are needed. For $49.99 you will receive 3500 Coins. You would have to purchase this pack 39 times which would cost you $1,949.61. l could LITERALLY buy an authenticated autographed copy of "Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone", signed by Daniel Radcliffe aka HARRY POTTER, for $1,600!

I understand language barriers, I can ignore some editing mistakes. When the author becomes repetitive, that confirms that I'm reading the work of an inexperienced writer. No problem, I will continue to support, but I will also skip a few chapters so I can get to a new point. This app does NOT allow you to skip ahead. The numbers I crunched are ONLY Coin cost, from Chapters 16 through 25. As the chapters went up in numbers, so did the price. Chapter 16 cost 26 Coins OR 130 Bonus. Chapter 17 jumped up to 52 Coins or 260 Bonus, Chapter 18, 78 Coins or 390 Bonus until finally at Chapter 25, 260 Coins or 1300 Bonus. When I added up all of the Bonus to unlock just 10 chapters, the total was 7,150. Because Bonus costs went from 130 to 1300, I won't even attempt to make sense of those numbers, just know that's why earning Bonus is cool, but it's gonna take a while before you can get a chapter.

In conclusion, until they rectify this issue, I'm only going to come on for the daily check-ins and videos to try and save up for a new chapter. Haven't read the rules, but hopefully the Bonus don't expire in 7 days. That won't be enough time for a new chapter, in which I'll just delete the app and move on. I'd like to try and support the writer if I can, not so much the app. I read a review posted on October 29th with the subject stating "Horrible" and saying the same thing as me with less words and an added suggestions of banishment. The Developers wrote back and I can't make this up, but they ACTUALLY said, and I quote, "To ensure the genuine rights of the books as well as the interests of the authors, the prices of the books are completely reasonable." Completely REASONABLE?!? To read an unedited, 7 paged, repetitive, and un-skippable Chapter 23, me paying 208 Coins or 1040 Bonus is considered reasonable? In what universe?

This concludes my sermon, I am stepping down from the soapbox afforded to me inside the Reviewing section. Hope you enjoyed my mini free story of a review and I hope the Developers read this and realize that their quoted prices for coins and unlocking chapters is supremely efficient for what it is, and what it is, is trash water.

I collect all my free bonus coins for almost 2 weeks at a time sometimes. I do this before I go on a camping trip so I cam read for longer periods of time.

Recently I have been collecting them and realized each day when I log back in there are coins missing. I should have over 7000 bonus coins and I only had 2000 today when I logged back in.

I was also reset back to day 1, this has happened many times.

I don't usually spend money on these books. I try to be patient and collect my bonuses everyday. I recently spent money and I do expect to get my bonus.

I appreciate your time. Thank you.

Everything time I go back to my story, the continue button doesn't take me to the correct chapter I ended with. Also is the menu button not available to select the correct chapter.

Also note, the other apps providing novels is much cheaper than yours.

I am going to finish this novel, but won't be a returning customer, nor will I recommend your app, it's too expensive.

Hi my name is emily I have been reading this book on your app and have been paying the fees to open more chapters and then I used my exclusive benefits and did the 50% one that’s $24.99 which evened out to $27.36 at 12:14am and it is saying that I don’t have the points and won’t let me read but I have the bank statement to prove I paid for it so can y’all please fix this I really like this book and would like to continue reading it…

I started reading a story Her and his marriage On the banner it said All chapters free But after a few chapters it charged me Kikistory owes me 176.91 US dollars This is fraudulent All chapters free means all chapters not a few chapters until the reader gets hooked up! Please kindly refund my money as I stopped reading this story .. thank you

Please do not come with different explanations of how the app works I know! I know I saw what was written before I started reading this story! It was written All chapters free

This company has taken over 30.00 from me and I couldn’t even finish the book and they wanted more money! I have tried to contact them several times with no response! I would like my money back and I will be deleting there app from my phone! I am very disappointed that Facebook would let these scammers on there site! I would please like a response as soon as possible! Thank you for your time.

It supposed to be free but you asking to buy

By the end of the book, they charge $150 to read it.

I read over 200 chapters paid 200$ and didn’t get my chapters owed to me

The price is rediculous I spent 48 dollars in one evening. Deleted the app

Why would I spend money to read further when I can go to library to check book out.

Coins are not deducted with consistency- meaning- they can charge whatever per chapter

Your better off purchasing a novel. The cost to continuously read on this app is too high.

I’ve spent over $20 and still haven’t gotten to the end of the book. The price is just too much.

It’s been stuck at chapter for days. Is it going to have an ending or not paid lots of money for an incomplete book

You have to pay so much money to unlock each chapter I spent $20 and it only unlocked 50 chapters out of more than a Thousand

Don’t download this app you have to spend over $100 to read one book
For all my book readers out there this is not worth it don’t waste your money

It’s a lovely story hers and his marriage, but it’s awful the way you have to get to a next chapters. I spent almost a $100.00 already I can’t go on I am very disappointed.

$24.99 won’t get you two days of reading. You can read a week for same amount on other apps. Poorly edited books that are drawn out with unnecessary crap to make you pay more.

They make you buy every chapter and you can’t skip one even if it’s the same thing in other peoples point of view. Don’t bother. You’ll never finish a book without spend at least $100 or more for it.. Apple should ban them..

I just found a book that i love and I've spent $60 bucks and not even half way through. I see the responses saying to be fair and keep up with market prices, i just don't see books costing $300. I'll go back to Dreame, a lot cheaper and same quality books
