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 subscription82%

120 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 features10%

15 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 support8%

11 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.
Login and account problems5%

8 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.
Too many ads3%

5 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.
Lost data, sync, backup3%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

Wrong or poor results3%

4 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

Bugs, things not working2%

3 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ I purchased and was charged for the monthly subscription but the coins were never added to my account, nor am I allowed to advance to the next chapters so I am stuck. I have submitted multiple “feedback requests”…
★★★★★ I like the story but it's so broken down to 215 chapters each chapter is as much as 75 coins each it will get very expensive just to get through a quarter of the story..
★★★★★ I purchased the 19.99 monthly plan and it does not work.
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
  • Would be nice if it was a monthly sub where you could read as much as you want 4★, Jul 8, 2025
  • I wish these stores did not cost hundreds of dollars. 2★, Jun 30, 2025

★★★★★ Easy to use and great reads!
★★★★★ Well to start with it's relatively easy to build up coins, which makes it so much easier to get your reading time in.
★★★★★ Good story line and plot. Just little things an editor should have caught. For example, the use of to instead of too, some errors in grammar that should have been caught. Typically it would frustrate me enough to stop…

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
