User Reviews

User reviews largely condemn the app for high costs and paywalls, frequent overcharges, and unfinished AI-generated stories. While some readers enjoy the short formats and a few engaging entries, most feel the value doesn’t justify the price, marred by billing problems, unfinished plots, and content quality concerns. Reliability issues and weak support further worsen the overall experience.

Pros

Short, bite-sized stories/chapters are easy to read and can be addictive.
Some stories are engaging or interesting.
A few chapters or stories can be accessed for free before paying.

Cons

Extremely expensive coin-based model with per-chapter costs; subscription plus coins; value is often seen as not worth the price.
AI-generated or low-quality writing, with repetitive plots, changing names, and lack of originality.
Stories are often unfinished or cut off at climaxes, forcing additional payments to finish.
Payment and billing issues, including overcharges and mismatched charges, with poor customer support.
Technical issues and app instability, such as login bugs and inconsistent performance.

Recent reviews

I had enjoyed this app for quite a while. That’s why I did a yearly subscription… But since June the audio has not worked on any of the books and there have not been any new books added even if you go to the new selection tab I have updated the app. I have uninstalled reinstalled. I’ve sent emails through the app and I cannot get a resolution at all… For those of us that have paid and are avid short story readers an open line of communication if there’s an issue with the app and an offer of ‘until we get it fixed, we’re not gonna hold however long against you’ because like I said this has been ongoing since June and we’re now in August…

Every time I try to read a book, I am unable to finish it. I have over 11,000 coins but don’t even get the option to unlock a chapter with coins. So disappointed.
