What reviewers actually said

Built only from these 120 real reviews (foreign ones translated). Superscripts jump to the quote here. Apple has no per-review links, so [ref] opens that app's reviews on the App Store.

1. [R3] Manobook 3/5 · US Good story but expensive: Hard to earn coins, expensive to buy. The further you progress through a story the more coins each chapter costs!
2. [R4] Manobook 2/5 · US Expensive: The stories are good but very expensive. If they had a monthly fee then I could get on board with that. But $15 to $25 a week is a rip off
3. [R9] Manobook 3/5 · US Gets expensive: As much as I love this reading on this app, it gets too expensive. 250 coins for a chapter is robbery! And not many ways to get coins except buying, as much as I love the app I’ll have to delete it. Three star for the ridiculous amount of coins it cost for a chapter after you’re already caught up in a book and want to know the ending.
4. [R22] Manobook 1/5 · US The unwanted wife is a zillionaire: I believe your book is way to expensive so I’m not using this app unless the price comes down to more chapters. Now I can’t even send this message.
5. [R7] Manobook 1/5 · US App: Too expensive, to many ads. Sad really stories are excellent. I’m deleting my account.
6. [R10] Manobook 1/5 · US Not a free app: You will spend more time on ads then you will reading the book. It’s a waste of time a waste of money and honestly a waste of wits anything that comes from a foreign country like Hong Kong, China, etc. and you are American then don’t waste your time.
7. [R15] Manobook 3/5 · US Good books: The books are good. I will not buys coins. Happy to watch ads but after a few you have to wait until the next day to continue.
8. [R16] Manobook 2/5 · US Wish you had better options: The stories are good, enough to keep me interested. Having to watch so many videos for a chapter that I read in less than half the time I spend watching videos is nonsense, but I can’t bring myself to spend what would be at least 30 dollars or more to read a book that if it had regular chapters it would probably only be maybe a 40 to 50 chapter book. At least other App
9. [R13] Manobook 1/5 · US What did I pay for?: So when I download this app it pulled money out of my account through my apple account and I'd like to know what that's for? This was supposed to be a free app! How do I get a refund?
10. [R19] Manobook 1/5 · US Hard to understand!: I purchased a weekly subscription thinking that meant I’d have a seven day access to my book. Yeah that apparently isn’t true. I got like two days then it’s made me watch ad after ad to read the next chapter. Then after so many then it wouldn’t even let me do that anymore. It’s making me watch other ads with very few points with each just trying to get enough to read the next
11. [R47] Manobook 5/5 · US Great book club in almost every way!: I was a little angry at first because they were charging me weekly for coins which I didn’t believe I signed up for those. Being on a limited budget makes it difficult to do those things regularly so I just never do it unless it is by accident. Once we got that squared away it has been absolutely amazing! You can buy coins, earn them or watch adds or do oth
12. [R1] Manobook 1/5 · US Great App!: I’m still reading my first story in this app, but so far it’s actually well written and compelling. Unfortunately, it completely falls apart several chapters in. There are weird plot holes and jumps, character names are mixed up, timelines collapse, it’s like reading different story ideas that the author started but changes and re-wrote without ever deleting the original text. What star
13. [R33] Manobook 3/5 · GB Interesting: Good story so far with 2 ads per chapter for free reading. Ads sometimes broken so you lose ‘coins’ you’ve gained to read another chapter which is a bit annoying hence 3/5
14. [R34] Manobook 2/5 · GB Good stories BUT: Love the stories but can never finish them due to ‘coin’ issues. Really frustrating so I’ve decided not to bother any more. Shame though as enjoyed reading the free books.
15. [R39] Manobook 3/5 · GB Good app: Good app but not being able to access as many chapters before hitting your daily limit is very frustrating. There are some spelling and grammatical errors in the writing too which I find slightly irritating.
16. [R51] Wattpad 1/5 · US Crashes and deleted paragraphs: It’s been 3 days since the app would crash and delete my paragraphs. It will suddenly crash and delete from 1 to 3 paragraphs and the layout doesn’t stick. I would be lucky if only 1 sentence got deleted. Nothing shows in the revision history. Please help. Sometimes the thoughts that went into the paragraphs don’t come out the same when I have to write it again….
17. [R52] Wattpad 5/5 · US Language reading settings suggestion: Hey there, as much as I love the app. I think a translation feature on the settings could help those who have lack of knowledge of different languages, it would be useful and beneficial.
18. [R53] Wattpad 3/5 · US Ads: I’ve had this app for a while, and the ads didn’t use to be this bad. An ad after every chapter is annoying, and I feel it’s unfair. But, besides the small glitches and ads, I really do like this app.
19. [R54] Wattpad 1/5 · US Ads: It is insane how many ads you have why is it literally better to read it on a search engine then it is on the actual app
20. [R65] Apple Books 1/5 · US Apple books: It has bugs and close app suddenly & lost its function
21. [R66] Apple Books 5/5 · US Great for kids!: There are so many great books on here you can filter out all of the books that you want!
22. [R67] Apple Books 3/5 · US Navigation sucks!: Overall, I really enjoy using this app and appreciate the reading experience. My only suggestion is to improve accessibility for frequently used features. I wish there were a one-touch option for the Table of Contents, themes, and reading settings. Right now, it feels like I have to go through multiple hoops just to access features I use every day. A quicker, more streamlined in
23. [R68] Apple Books 1/5 · US Syncing Problem: Why won’t it stop syncing to my backup ? I physically click it off and it says “no data” I then backup my phone, check and it’s still there ???
24. [R79] MoboReader 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
25. [R80] MoboReader 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
26. [R81] MoboReader 3/5 · US Review: Good, but would like more opportunities for free chapters.
27. [R82] MoboReader 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!
28. [R93] iReader-Story 1/5 · US Cancellation: This app sucks they will not respond to you when you try to cancel. Only a email available to contact them no phone number. Do not download
29. [R94] iReader-Story 5/5 · US 👍🏾: a little pricey but good books
30. [R95] iReader-Story 3/5 · US Ok app: Wish the chapters required less coins.
31. [R96] iReader-Story 1/5 · US The five stars are bots: Personally stating that as of today May 18th i found this app in an ad on facebook! I downloaded to complete a story called Your late love means nothing, and i got to chapter 8 and had to pay over $30-45 for coins to continue it!!! this is outrageous for a book !! Then i came to app store to read reviews and what i seen is grounds for a lawsuit, not only are you taking mon
32. [R107] Storyaholic 1/5 · US If I could give it a negative start I would: App is ridiculous with how many adds you have to watch to earn anything for next chapter. There are better apps out there. And good thing some books are available elsewhere and I can just buy the whole book and not over pay here.
33. [R108] Storyaholic 5/5 · US Love it: I love this app
34. [R109] Storyaholic 3/5 · US Good read: Stories are a good read, jus sucks needing coins or whatever to read
35. [R110] Storyaholic 1/5 · US Books worth the coins-app is odd: I have rated this app one star because of their very poor customer service. The app has split chapters for books I have already purchased and read to 100% and after the split make the chapters I’ve read locked. The chapters are still locked after many months of waiting. My rating of the app will increase in stars when my chapters are finally unlocked as the mult
36. [R31] Manobook 2/5 · GB Expensive: Cost for every few pages, after first few chapters are free. To read an entire story could cost about £100 🙄
37. [R23] Manobook 4/5 · US Decent: You can read for free but it means lots of adds. Coins are moderately expensive
38. [R29] Manobook 5/5 · US Good books: Good books and you can watch adds to unlock chapters.
39. [R50] Manobook 4/5 · US Pretty Good: Pretty good storylines - most same trope. Some grammar errors but nothing I can’t live with.
