★★★★★ The app is extremely expensive, chapters are extremely short, and if you do decide to pay for coins then the price chapter goes up steadily as well.
★★★★★ Downloaded and I've just finished using my free coins so was going to purchase using app pay but I noticed when the payment declined but I just sent the money over to account I'm using.
★★★★★ I spent a lot of money on those chapters/books, they should've never been removed because I hadn't been in the app in a while.
14 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.
★★★★★ For reasons I won't disclose I am unable to subscribe or buy credits so I was really happy that I could watch a few ads to unlock each chapter, even though it limited me to 3 chapters per day.
★★★★★ This is far worse than watching ads for chapters.
★★★★★ I am SO SICK of apps that run ads advertising stories that don't exist.

★★★★★ These days, the easiest way to tell if a story in an ad is fake, is if it seems like it might have actually been written by a real person.
★★★★★ Misleading they hook you with a story and when you download app the story isn't even an opinion it is not there
★★★★★ I am reading the story “Enemy King Begged After I Vanished” which is a great story… but $50 for the novel that is suddenly missing a huge chunk of the story and has the main characters suddenly calling each other by…

★★★★★ No live customer service and no refunds.
★★★★★ If the prices were reasonable we can at least support the authors without feeling ripped off.
★★★★★ The book that I wanted to read would have cost $150, but I found it on kindle for $5, so why does anyone support these apps?

Great fast paced storytelling
The app is extremely expensive, chapters are extremely short, and if you do decide to pay for coins then the price chapter goes up steadily as well. It’s just a big scan. You do the numbers and you’re paying well over a hundred dollars per book!!! Ridiculous! Literally not worth it. I can do buy on Apple Books and KEEP the books I buy!
Good stories
Downloaded and I’ve just finished using my free coins so was going to purchase using app pay but I noticed when the payment declined but I just sent the money over to account I’m using. They over charged so went back on app and noticed they priced £4.99 GBP but charge £5.99 and then another payment of £6.10 in separate to the other one!! Fraud don’t use!!
I haven’t been able to get on my reading apps in a while. Went back into them and TapRead removed all my books I PAID FOR from my library. It was the only reading app I have downloaded to do that. Needless to say, I’m very angry! I spent a lot of money on those chapters/books, they should’ve never been removed because I hadn’t been in the app in a while. I removed this app and WILL NEVER download it again! Y’all be careful, this wasn’t the only time they removed my purchases, but this time they took them all. Beware of this app!
