Do not download and here’s why.

This day at the very moment I saw the ad of this app, I thought I was going to be able to read a nice horror story for free just for fun. If your expecting to relax for free and read a book, your about to download the wrong app. I read all the reviews telling me that this app is free and works perfectly fine, their all lies. I bet they are all paid to write such good reviews on this app. This app is below my expectations, I downloaded the app thinking it was just books that your read without any source of payment. I was so wrong. When I opened the tab is wouldn’t let me even browse the books on the app without signing up. So I signed up for it and I press ‘cancel’ to the payment. Then my mother walks into my room and hands me her phone asking me “what having you been buying without my consent?” Then I realised that the app had scammed my mum and I deleted it straight away. Even tho it took money from us, I still couldn’t read a book. I am very upset that such a high rated app could do such a bad thing. Very horrific app, do not download it.

This app is required to pay as soon as you open it! There is no way you can actually physically access anything unless you pay. Not even when you log in it sign up. Not even when you don’t make an account at all. Not to mention, the pricing is quite high. At least have some stories that do NOT require any payments and don’t make the viewers pay right when they open the app. Very disappointed especially that this has high ratings somehow..
Have to pay

I used to use this app all the time for free it just didn’t let you answer the calls or see the pictures you also had to wait about 15 minutes half way through in order to finish the story. I didn’t mind doing that but recently I went on the app and it wouldn’t let me in unless I payed the trial I was very disappointed as it was a good app sad it had to ruin it. I am 15 so don’t plan on paying for apps :(
