Do not download this app. It is now the most expensive audio book app on the app stores. They also have a low quality and don't own up when there own updates take epsiodes backwards that you already paid. Worse its all about getting money and greed now. They have just made a new update that has made coins more expensive from 8 to 6 cons for 1 dollar. They make all green epsidoes now 9 coins even if it's just a 5 min episode and yet no change tntheir quality and standards. They manipulate by doing this update on a Friday just before the weekend when people want to use it. They made so many expensive updates in costs at once and still didn't even warn us before so we didn't even buy bulk coins on Thursday. If you wokr it out you could spend $2000 dollars to finish one long audio story when they over 2000 epidoes at 9 coins each now even when they only 5 min. Every other app is much more economic in these expensive living cost times. This is disgusting as its all about money now. They still have poor tech support when you report lost episodes already paid. They even changed the time to later in the morning for when a measly free 30 min is given. I am a morning person and now that it's 11am to wait, it is so not worth it when most of my stories I stated at 5 or 6am, so they take complete control and manipulate the customer's trust for their own financial gains. Do not use this app!!! Do not download it! Many other apps are more cost effective in these costly living times. Even Amazon Audiobook wiht exceptional quality standard is cheaper. We all know how many new audio book apps are coming put and that are of same quality standard as this one but don't use greed to take so much money for measly 6 coins now. Stay away! This should be 0 out 5 stars. Wish trsutpulot will let us choose that option nowadays with the way apps are coming put left right and center.

Completely disappointing and frustrating experience

This service is incredibly disappointing and only seems to deteriorate over time. It is far from being a relaxing experience, especially when trying to enjoy a good book. There are numerous hidden charges, and they release unfinished books while demanding exorbitant fees just to access new chapters. The platform often glitches, forcing users to repeatedly scroll and download chapters. I've spent thousands trying to enjoy some titles, only to discover I'm being charged monthly in addition to my initial payments. Enough is enough; their focus is solely on profit, not customer satisfaction. It feels rigged to ensure that leaving a low rating is the only way to warn others about their practices. I would rate them a negative 10; steer clear of this service.

Caution: High Costs with Limited Value

Exercise caution. The expenses are quite high and the service does not provide good value for the money. Given the cost, one would expect better AI features and clearer chapter separations, along with more varied narration. There are engaging stories that draw you in, but the longer you use it, the more expensive it becomes. By the end of the month, you may find yourself overspending just to enjoy a single complete story and all its episodes. Additionally, be ready to watch numerous ads to access even one free episode of similar length.

Promised a free episode for watching ads, but it turned into a hassle.

They claim to give a free episode in exchange for viewing 8 ads, which I was okay with. However, by the time I reached 8, it turned into 16. Also, beware of the surveys; I often find myself halfway through only to be told I'm not a match after spending over 10 minutes answering questions.

Frustration with Limited Content Access

After spending a lot of coins, watching numerous ads, and making purchases, I only managed to get into one story. I watched 644 episodes, and now I'm left waiting for episode #645 to be released. When will that happen? If it doesn't become available in the next few days, I will uninstall the app and leave several negative reviews.

Frustrated After Spending Coins

After spending a lot of coins, watching ads, and purchasing more coins, I only got into one story. I watched 644 episodes and now I'm left waiting for episode #645? When will it be available? If it’s not loaded in a few days, I will delete the app and leave numerous negative reviews!

System Issues Led to Frustration

There was supposedly a mistake in the system that led to a coin package being released, which I bought multiple times. They later took back all my coins and refunded me, which feels unfair. They only gave me 200 coins when I originally had over 5000. Clearly, they don’t value their customers and seem to take advantage of them, even loyal members.

Lack of Support and Fairness

I felt misled into purchasing coins to complete a story. I took advantage of an offer and received 440 coins, but their system later said I had only 1 left, despite my Activity Log showing I used around 30. When I reached out for support, I only received automated responses. It’s been days with no real assistance or coins added. I recommend avoiding this service.

Avoid This Service

I strongly advise against using this app! It's very costly, customer service is virtually non-existent, and the offer of free episodes for watching ads is a complete scam.

Concerning Content and High Costs

The majority of the stories revolve around physical and mental abuse, with male characters often being overly dominant and female characters portrayed negatively. The stories are overpriced and poorly written, and I can’t shake the feeling that this app is a scam, especially considering its origin.
