I love the fact that I can read free. Opening one chapter every six hours is annoying though. I would rather watch ads. I wish they had more options to read free. I have done the math and it takes about a week to open a book if you are diligent. The stories are great but since I already spent money I am going to have to be way more strategic in my reading.

Thank you for your feedback and for being a part of our reading community! We’re glad to hear you enjoy the stories. We understand the wait between chapters can be a bit challenging. Your suggestion about more options for free reading and watching ads is valuable and we'll certainly take it into consideration. If there are any other ways we can ...

The books are great. However if you want to read more than one chapter a day or one chapter a week you have to spend money. You can earn 1 point a day by "checking in" but when most chapters cost 4 points, they go quick. I could buy books from a big retail store for cheaper than the cost if I was to buy points. And I read too many other reviews about the "unlimited" option to avoid it. My response to the automated reply... is what "daily tasks"?

Decent stories, but terrible app. It takes less than 5 minutes to read a chapter and then you have to wait 6 hours to unlock the next one unless you spend money. No option to watch ads to earn points, and no option to get just a month of unlimited reading, they want you to pay for a whole year. And half the time it just gives an error when you try to load anything. Idk if I'm even gonna bother trying to finish the book I started before I uninstall. It's not worth the frustration.
