HOW SURE ARE WE
Small app: combines its grossing ranks with ratings growth (87 new ratings a month on average since launch). Tested on 418 apps with verified revenue: typically off by about 2.6 times, so the range is wide. Countries we don't track (and Google Play in China, which doesn't exist) aren't included, and neither are ads or web payments. Gross revenue before store fees.

Price and subscription78%

56 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ It is incredibly expensive otherwise if you were to pay and I won't.
★★★★★ They will not stop charging you when you cancel.
★★★★★ Like the other subscribers, I thought purchasing a subscription allowed me to read any book during the subscription period.
Limits, credits, locked features11%

8 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ It is incredibly stingy and you are only allowed to earn a short amount of tokens in order to open a chapter.
★★★★★ It tells you have to pay for coins to continue to read.
★★★★★ A bit misleading - this is not like a typical app for video dramas or books where a subscription gives you unlimited access during the subscription; you have limited access and you still have to buy additional coins to…
No customer support7%

5 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ DO NOT SUPPORT THIS COMPANY.
★★★★★ Don't support this unethical writer behavior
★★★★★ Essentially you will be paying 250-300 coins for identical chapters and support acts like they don't know what you're talking about.
Too many ads4%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ You will receive notices from the app saying “Skip the payment - watch ads to unlock 35 chapters of any book in our library!” And when you click on the link it brings you back to the book you were reading and asks you…
★★★★★ Rewards are small and will only give you 1 chapter if you watch 25 ads.
★★★★★ I spent every day checking into this stupid app, watching the stupid ads to collect bonus coins so I can read ONE SINGLE BOOK and not have to spend any money.
Login and account problems4%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Also screenshot proof of all purchases because sometimes everything will disappear in your account and if you don't have proof they will just say “oh well, you should have gotten proof”
★★★★★ I thought I had agreed to one weekly price, but when I looked at my account the amount I was charged was almost double.
★★★★★ I don't even find an option to see my account.
Wrong or poor results4%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I thought I was doing something wrong and it wasn't taking my card but oh it was.
★★★★★ I sent an email that I did not authorize it & to cancel the fake subscription & no 4100 coins on my app.
★★★★★ I purchased the subscription and when it didn't work I thought I had did something wrong so I purchased it again only to find that both charges went through and I didn't receive anything.
Lost data, sync, backup3%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I logged out and back in, I deleted and read def the app.
Slow, laggy, battery3%

2 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Why are the updates so slow only 1-2 chapters every so often, they aren't even consistent with updates and they take forever to move along.
★★★★★ So $30 down the drain and I can't even read the stories.
WHAT THEY ASK FOR
  • Also screenshot proof of all purchases because sometimes everything will disappear in your account and if you don't have proof they will just say “oh well, you should have gotten proof” 1★, Mar 23, 2026
  • Great stories here, wish it had a subscription rate that allowed for a more economical reading source - I would read more here if it did. 5★, Nov 14, 2025
  • It would be nice if like other apps you could watch videos to unlock chapters. 2★, Sep 23, 2025
  • Each day you can get like 40 or so coins but to read just one chapter it needs around 100 coins so you have to either wait till the next day or buy them. 1★, Sep 15, 2025

Worst of the worst in book apps

This is the worst app for reading novels on. It is incredibly stingy and you are only allowed to earn a short amount of tokens in order to open a chapter. You are lucky if you are able to open a chapter a day as only 6 adds are offered to open it up for free. It is incredibly expensive otherwise if you were to pay and I won’t. You will receive notices from the app saying “Skip the payment - watch ads to unlock 35 chapters of any book in our library!” And when you click on the link it brings you back to the book you were reading and asks you to pay for the next chapter or use your tokens. There are no ads offered. It is a misleading app and I do not recommend it.

★★★★★Jul 8, 2026
Hmmm???

Why is it so expensive?? Why are the updates so slow only 1-2 chapters every so often, they aren’t even consistent with updates and they take forever to move along. I don’t mind paying but why does cost so much to read the books you like and the bonuses suck they aren’t really giving you anything for reading and purchasing coins for the books

★★★★★Jun 26, 2026
THIEVES

They will not stop charging you when you cancel. They will not answer any emails to stop do not use applepay they can’t help you make them stop. DO NOT SUPPORT THIS COMPANY. They deserve no stars but you have leave one to comment

★★★★★Jun 16, 2026
Unhappy

Like the other subscribers, I thought purchasing a subscription allowed me to read any book during the subscription period. But NOPE. And I see the platform responds to the complaint by saying, “the terms and conditions say, you are really only purchasing points with the subscription! Does anyone here read ALL the terms and conditions???? No one does, that is until they cannot read the books. So why doesn’t the platform make it clear upfront that you are only purchasing points, not a subscription? Very frustrated.

★★★★★Apr 15, 2026
Fraud

Trust me, not.worth.it They make it almost impossible for you to read a book and accumulate points without buying the points and even if you do buy, it’s insanely egregious. I spent two weeks saving up to get 90 points to unlock a chapter, came back the next day and they took away 12 points. Don’t support this unethical writer behavior
