Just a super annoying app. I got sucked into one series, was listening daily for free but after a few weeks I'm only given 1 free episode a day. So I'll watch ads for 2 free episodes, half the time I don't get credit. Or it'll just buffer so I'll hit back and lose all progress. Although it keeps track of the episode I'm on it'll mess it up when I hit play somehow. I also did a bunch of tasks for coins, later found that the app auto consumes coins. Road tripping is super hard with all the ads

Disappointed in lack of control of app. Once installed, even with the app not being open, as soon as my device connects to a Bluetooth audio device, be it my buds, speaker or auto sound system, it starts playing the last played title. There is no setting to disable this. I don't always want this app starting up on connection. So I have un-installed it until more control of the app is given to the user.

Honestly, it's not great. Randomly, when the book I'm listening to switched chapters, it will jump to a chapter I've already completed. Or, when I stop listening and disconnect the device I was using, the book will keep playing. The other day I earned tokens by completing tasks, and the app used up all my tokens by playing in the background and unlocking episodes automatically! Don't bother buying tokens either. $100 doesn't even get you enough for one full book!

The stories are exceptionally good but the last two or more updates have caused a turmoil of issue that cause the playback to cut in and out our stop all together. A year ago 4 stares. Hope they can fix the increasing bugs that keep occurring, device compatibility should be on the list of bugs to fix. I would like to recommend this to people who enjoy a good isekai or fantasy.

I really like the way this works to essentially to have books read to you. However the one thing I would change is to not change your rates after your first full purchase. I paid the first .49 and the first 9.99 package and then you changed your rates. I can afford 9.99 a week to have someone read me a book but not more than that for a many coins as it costs. I'll probably try to find something more affordable in the future after this story. It's a shame because I really hate Amazon products.

The app has some good stories and good narrators, but it's way too flipping expensive. It's good that they've introduced the ability to watch ads as a way to get free coins, but lately I haven't been able to watch as much to be able to get coins because they would keep failing to load, sometimes even if I was forced to watch the ad regardless.

Don't waste your time. App is Glitchy, jumps between books on its own. Chooses random new books and just starts playing them. Gets stuck repeating the same ad over and over and have to restart the app between chapters. If you don't buy coins, you get one chapter/episode each day (most days, certainly not every day). Freezes, loses progress, and sometimes leaves me on the same chapter/episode a few days.

It was okay but now is worst in all aspects, and keeps getting worse. Went from 6 free daily episodes to one free episode every 72 hours. There's was a new "day streak" feature that had an issue, and after it was fixed, the "day streak" feature was taken out. I also dislike the fact that it automatically plays the next audio series, and I don't have an option to disable it. 0.2 out 5.

Nice idea, garbage execution. Watch videos for in-app credit? Good luck! Only 30% of the time the videos actually work. Can never watch enough to gain the credit without it just showing a spinning circle. Requiring app to be restarted. Watched 9 ads, got no credit after circle 3 times. Absolute waste of time. No support of any kind, just a generic FAQ.

Too many ads that are not car safe. I like to listen to these while I'm driving and too many ads make you have to find a little x to close and do not automatically close. Not safe for driving! Correct this and I will give 5 stars. Also when I stop listening and restart, the app skips ahead, sometimes to the next chapterand sometimesabout 5 mins ahead, and I have to back track to find where I left off.

Don't waste your time. The app is great for the first bit. After being able to listen to several episodes for free, it drops to one episode and then none. The first batch of tokens is super cheap if, but when you buy more (and you will need to, trust me) it's stupid expensive for how many you get compared to what you need to listen to episodes. The number of tokens needed isn't standard and fluctuates. There are cheaper and more well known options that beat this easily. You've been warned.

This app seems to update everything except the things that would actually make it better. Sometimes the voices are annoying to listen to and would be nice to change them. More importantly the biggest fix would be the library. I have audio books I picked out to listen to each day yet each time one ends, A completely new book would add itself to my library and start playing(FIX IT). The coins are expensive and I won't pay for them. Instead how about adding a subscription to listen to books.

I love the app and i love the stories, but I feel like over time as you get more invested, it's too late to notice you've been swindled. There's options to allow you to watch ads and earn coins, but there's always issues with it, and im forced to restart the 7 videos it requires, and then precedes to crash halfway through every single time. It's likely by design so I'm forced to spend money...

I like some of the stories. But have a constant issue with app crashing. And when I close and reload it. It won't load library or store. Also the amount of coins it uses is ridiculous. Like 20 bucks for 30 to 45 minutes of audio isn't worth it. Now lets add to the point of it saying add free for 5 months. Yet I still receive ads. I don't care if it's their ads or 3rd party it's false advertisement.

Ok, let me say I really love this app. I listen to it every day. My only issue is with the LIBRARY. I think that the library should be like a Playlist any only cycle through the titles I save in it, but when I finish an episode the auto play starts a title I'm not listening to and it automatically saves it in my library filling it up with unwanted stories. Other than that, it is a great app.

At first, it was great, I was invested in 2 stories, and I would listen to the free unlocked episodes every day. I became very invested and bought coins so I could continue listening. All of a sudden, both series stopped proceeding and took me back to the beginning. I had purchased coins, and every time I tried to unlock episodes, it would unlock episodes I had already listened to. I don't know what happened, but I feel cheated. There is no support option, so I'm pretty much stuck!!

I love this app and listen to multiple stories daily. I would give 5 stars but getting the commercials (videos) to play is challenging at best. And if you have any you've watched but not enough to open a new episode and close out, they don't save and you have to start over. Very frustrating. I like to bank like 10 or more episodes so I can listen uninterrupted to my story while walking. Overall I would recommend this app! My Vampire System is my favorite story right now! 🙂

This was a pleasant surprise insofar as it provided a very reasonable economy for these stories. Overall, I definitely find this app worth my time. Having said that, I want to bring up two points of contention: First, I find that occasionally, the app freezes and is unresponsive. I need to forcefully shut it down and restart when that happens. Second, there seems to be some degree of issues with either the reading or writing interpretation at times. Punctuation might be mis-interpreted.

Play bar notification can not REMOVE. I get the option to remove or csncle. When I click remove it does nothing. When I click cancle it goes back to Mt notifications screen. Also whenever I restart my phone it starts playing. When it connects to a Bluetooth speaker it starts playing. Not sure if the Juice is worth the Squeeze, might delete it to fix the problems.

Very frustrated with this app. At the beginning of the story 5 episodes are "unlocked" each day. When I got to about episode 150 it changed to 1 or 2. If you want to unlock 2 more you have to watch 16-18 ads. Then when ou get about 5-8 ads in. It freezes. If you go back... you start all over. And, then it freezes again. Of course, you can buy coins to unlock more but, I am not willing to pay about $1 per episode when there are 421! Grrrr.... they really need to fix this.
