1. [R3] 5/5 · US Enjoy: I really enjoy reading the books on this app. To me they are well written and not like anything you would find at a store. The only thing that is annoying is having to wait for ads so you can continue to read free chapters.
2. [R4] 4/5 · US Great books: Really enjoy finding new books on here
3. [R5] 5/5 · US Reading: I honestly love this app they got good stories very interesting that’s get you really entertain. You just want to keep reading all the time this amazing stories.
4. [R9] 4/5 · US Love the app: It’s a great app. Love the stories. I get pulled in when a start a story that I love. Can’t get enough of some of the story lines. I enjoy different stories and this app has them all.
5. [R12] 4/5 · US Great App!: Like others have said, I really like this app because of how many options it gives you to gain points to unlock chapters. Most of the other apps make you pay a lot of money. I also like that they have a reading break that pops up. It may be annoying to some, but I appreciate it.
6. [R19] 5/5 · US Good app: You don’t have to pay for coins or stars. You can watch ads and read as many chapters as you want. Good for the pocketbook!
7. [R23] 4/5 · US Ads: I wish I didn’t have to keep watching ads to read but it’s better than paying so
8. [R22] 1/5 · US Fraud!! Unauthorized Charges!!: This site is a scam!!! No matter how many times you ask them to stop charging your account they won’t stop! Your money is gone!! I’ve sent emails, chatted with their “help” and am still getting charged!
9. [R33] 1/5 · US Do not pay for this they will not cancel: I downloaded this because I wanted to finish the teaser story from the ad. I used PayPal to pay and have been trying to cancel after the first week but there instructions do not work. I’m getting charged $24.99/week for poorly written stories I’m not using. Hopefully I can keep someone else from having the same expensive issue I’m dealing with. Update stil
10. [R70] 1/5 · US Don’t have the app: It keeps charging my card and I deleted the app and canceled the subscription
11. [R74] 1/5 · US Zero stars if possible: Signed up for the trial week. Says in detail can cancel via Apple account. I can find no subscription in my Apple account, but I sure am getting charged for one. Tried contacting them via email and the Annie help bot. So far, no luck. The email was a form response for how to cancel an account they the app says I don’t have, and the bot just ended the conversation when it co
12. [R13] 1/5 · US Terrible app (but not the worst): It takes an awfully long time to load chapters and open books, just a black screen (internet is Wi-Fi, phone is 17 Pro). Either pay or watch a ton of ads. A chapter is 4 pages, but you watch 3 ads per chapter. I spend 4 times longer watching ads than actually reading. Sometimes the ad isn't long, but sometimes it's 2 minutes. And sometimes you wait and wait, and the 'close' X never appears. · translated
13. [R24] 2/5 · US Don’t do it: You’ll get really into a book and then the ads just start glitching and you’ve spent 20 minutes just trying to get to the next chapter
14. [R26] 5/5 · US Good Reading App: I love one of the books I’m reading only thing is the ads I hate how long they can be but worth it
15. [R79] 3/5 · US Need more coins: I don’t mind watching the ads or reading the articles but you need to watch 3 adds or 3 articles just for one small chapter usually 2-3 pages long. Than you can only get through 10 or so chapters before the videos start messing up or stop being available at all.
16. [R11] 4/5 · US Very good but costly: Has good stories and love that I can hear it to. Which there were cheaper options it is very costly if you do the plan. But can full read by getting the daily check ins etc you just have to have patience
17. [R17] 4/5 · US Great books, a little pricey: The stories are great and typically can’t be found on other reading apps. They pricing is a little steep to read a full book, but the daily challenges make it where you can get some free coins.
18. [R45] 2/5 · US Just ok.: Way too expensive. As with all of these apps you buy a membership thinking you can read everything for free now. Not the case. While you might have access to everything now. You still have to pay to read it.
19. [R98] 2/5 · US Too much money: Wish I didn’t have to spend wayyy more money then what it cost for a book at the store. These books are good but say to expensive
20. [R10] 3/5 · US Review: Good, but would like more opportunities for free chapters.
21. [R16] 4/5 · US Good app yet needs tweaks: The app is easy to use but needs more options to earn coins. I do NOT want to subscribe. I will do a one time pay. Or watch ads. But just a hard NO on subscriptions. So more non-subscription choices. Agree with others on how long it takes to convert. Will keep using though as stories are interesting.
22. [R29] 3/5 · US Glitchy but ok: Not my favorite reading app but it’s ok. Honestly the whole points vs coins thing is frustrating why can’t I skip the middle man and win coins.
23. [R32] 5/5 · US Great… minus the 24 hour wait for coin transfer.: This app has had some of the best books of all the different novel apps. I do like that you can repeatedly watch ads for free chapters! However, once he reached that limit and you just watch other ads for coins, you don’t ever actually get to utilize them until the next day and even then it’s only does some of the coins you’ve accrued. If they coul
24. [R1] 5/5 · US El Heredero que Rechazó: Me ha interesado mucho, estoy muy intrigada con lo que sucederá, solo algo que para mí es muy molesto, es la intervención de la escritora, te dice sus teorías y casi casi te da a entender lo que sucederá y eso le resta mucha intriga 🤔, el gusto de no saber que va a suceder, para mí es muy molesto, por lo demás la trama me gusta mucho,( pudieran ponerse en contacto con la e
25. [R15] 5/5 · US Mobo Reader review: I love the books on Mobo reader .This is not a cookie cutter site. Although sometimes the characters get mixed up they are great reads. Each story leads you into the lives of the characters , good bad and the ugly .. try mono reader a real exciting story place . Love it .
26. [R18] 3/5 · US Ok: Stories seem to not make a lot of sense.
27. [R20] 4/5 · US Stories are good: App is good, stories are good although I’ve found a lot of misspelled words and it costs quite a bit to read one story.
28. [R40] 1/5 · US ?!: 8 months. 8 months to read a book that I gave up on and didn’t finish. The app will take the points and coins then not unlock the chapter. Then you can only get one or two chapters a day. It reminds me why I deleted this app the first time. Won’t be back.
29. [R122] 3/5 · US Abandoned Luna: I love this book but I think you should ease up on wasting coins if someone has to go back to a certain spot to understand. By the time I get back to where I was 4 chapters ahead the app relocks it so I can’t get back to my spot
30. [R6] 4/5 · US Good: I like the stories but I hate that you have 2 watch 2 ads for 1 chapter. Or there were cheaper options for getting coins
31. [R7] 5/5 · US Nice: Its okai i just dont likr that we dont get any free chapters
32. [R8] 5/5 · US Love the books: I love the books on this app, I just wish you could read more chapters for free instead of charging for coins.
33. [R31] 4/5 · US Good App: This is a good app to read free books. Just need to watch a few ads.
34. [R41] 5/5 · US Reading: Love reading books but never get to finish any because I’m not paying for it.
35. [R178] 2/5 · GB Expensive ($99 to read a book???😱): Chapters are ridiculously short to maximise spending. Shame really. They also offer free coins/points but don’t tell you how to redeem. I Amy stick with it for free pages (to call them chapters is insulting) there are also many continuity errors (like being handed champagne but the next chapter it was cake🤨) but I won’t be keeping the app long term.
36. [R326] 2/5 · CA It’s not bad but not good: It’s not bad, but it would cost over $100 to read one book if you buy coins. I’ve read 54/300 chapters (2-4 pages each) in about 5-6 days using free ads to get through but just got stuck with it asking me to read 3 articles for the next chapter but it does nothing so I’m not sure if I will be able to continue.
37. [R333] 3/5 · CA It’s okay: Not bad, good books, lots of chapters in every book, but very expensive to read a whole book
38. [R101] 1/5 · US Delete Account Issues: Removed the app and was still charged a week later. I’ve tried for 2 hours to delete this account and keep getting the run around. I’m going to have to cancel my online banking because of this application stealing funds after it’s been removed and a DELETE ACCOUNT request has been submitted numerous times
39. [R49] 5/5 · US All: Everything that I have read has been great!
