Ratings and Reviews
Very useful app, worth the price, but…
… it would be nice to also have more literal translations.
Sometimes the English translations are difficult to map to the Chinese characters. A literal translation would be a great help to better understand the structure of the Chinese sentences.
Also, this may be the app with the most irrelevant notifications, I have ever used. No connection to current progress, level or usage.
It kept pestering me for a review!
The app kept pestering me for a review when I tried to use, hence the one star rating. Had they been reasonable about, I would have given a better rating.
Not great without a subscription
Great idea for an app but almost all of the content is premium. I started reading a story that was shown as free but then after chapter 3 you have to pay for premium to read the rest of it. I don’t see the point in making the app free if it’s barely usable without a paid subscription.
After reading some of the free content I think I would be willing to pay for a subscription if it wasn’t so expensive. I was honestly shocked when I saw what it costs!
