Dreame - Read Best Romance 17+

Ideas

Love this app. Has great books. It gets a bit pricey for my budget so I can only read for a specific amount of time at a time. But I also have a suggestion not sure if it’s a thing or not. But can the books be separate. Like if it’s completed or not. I get books ideas from Facebook and when I go to the app all excited to read, some are not completed. If the book is good and the wait time for an update is so long I would have to read the chapters over. I don’t mind but seriously it’s a pain. I have so many uncompleted books in my library waiting for them to be completed and it’s like wow still no update. At this point I’ll definitely have to reread the old chapters just to refresh my memory. Thank you for the great app. Still a bit pricy. There’s a book that has over 1000 chapters I’m sure I won’t complete reading it even though it’s a great story. Only because I’m on chapter 200 and change and already spent over $60 on just this book. I now check the amount of chapters if it’s over 200 and the free chapters don’t catch my attention I won’t pay for it. Just common sense. Also the chapters have been getting shorter in the amount of pages ( the shortest chapter had about 3 pages). I read a book that 2 chapters where of the author asking for suggestions so I basically paid for two chapters worth of suggestions towards the author. I will say that it was smart of the author but not for my pocket.

Good reads but painful to the grammar police

So far the stories are definitely enticing to read but they can be tough at times to get through when you are having to re-read each line to make sense of all the grammatical errors and typos. It was bad enough in one book I read they kept mixing up the characters’ names. A baby can’t be named “Amanda” in one chapter and be named “Charlotte” in another. If I had to say, it felt like I was reading the very first draft of a story someone just finished or it was written in one night, without the author even re-reading their own work. I mean putting the thing through a computerized grammar and spell check would have helped somewhat. The coins concept, I get it, the app developer and author need to make a living, but I’d rather spend my money on well published and edited work then this stuff if I’m going to be spending the same amount, if not more, than what I would have spent on something similar at the book store. It’s not like these are long novels that would take very long to edit. I’m not a writer by any means, but I’d be embarrassed to have my writing viewed in such a rough draft state. “Intrigued’ and “I married the CEO” I think is what I read so far. Both need work. From other comments I’ve read I’m sure the next one I read will be just as rough, but I guess I will have to grit my teeth and bare it.

Don’t bother. To expensive.

I’ve had this app for years. I am going to have to stop reading this app. I don’t mind paying authors to read their work, but the amount of money they want you to pay is ridiculous. Number one, these books aren’t even edited. There’s mistakes misused words and it’s not worth paying $40-$50. I won’t even spend that kind of money, to read a professionals book. It’s ridiculous. And they say oh we have all these things for you to get it cheaper or free. You would spend more time trying to get the coins and bonuses for free. When I first started, getting coins was a lot easier, bonuses were a lot easier and bonuses didn’t expire. Now the whole app is just a waste of time, I am done wasting my money.

Added in response to developer:

I am sorry, but the amount of money you have to pay is ridiculous. Stories are good, but there were so many mistakes and no one proofread anything. You pay twice if not triple the amount of money, I would pay for somethings from well known authors and buying a hardcopy from Barnes & Noble‘s. Barnes & Noble‘s has expenses to pay for people to run their businesses and all their merchandise and don’t charge the kind of money you are to read your books. It’s called greed. If you have not invested in this app, don’t. if you want to totally free app to read from, and that has really good stories, go to Inkitt.
