Stories that hook you in. edit... I now remember why I left this app the first time. the stories are great yes, but at what cost. don't have money to buy an account that forces you to buy for one year at a time. and when buying chapters with points it starts with 4 points in 6 chapters or so later requires 20. So when you do buy points to read, they pretty much are gone before you can blink. So, no.... not worth the time or the $ these days to spend on this.

Loving it so far! I've only read a few chapters but I'm in the edge of my seat! if you don't want to spend money on coins you can do a few tasks for some coins but it's not much, so only a few chapters.. I am reading 3 stories at the same time and I open the next chapter so the timers all start lol It takes forever, but I enjoy the stories enough to wait it out.

This sight has good books, but I had a hard time getting registered. Then it takes 6 hours to read the next chapters in a book. Now you can't listen to any chapters without paying. This sight keeps getting worse. It was bad enough that some books weren't even being updated. I have many other apps to enjoy. I put money in this app when I felt it was worth it. But to demand it, that pushed me out. I will no longer support this app.

What’s new

Two months left in the year, and this plot is only thickening.

We’ve refreshed the app so you can keep up with every twist, turn and “wait, WHAT?” moment, wherever and whenever you read.
