Dreame - Read Best Romance 17+

Lovely idea

I love the idea of this app and what it has to offer but I am discovering more issue with it the longer I use it. I love that it offers writers a place to post and put their names and ideas out there. But I dislike that we have to pay for books per chapter or that depending on the story it has a timer that is a longer wait time for every chapter. I dislike that your “daily bonus points” often times don’t show up in my wallet and if they do it’s only in certain books. I hate that there are many books available that have multiple chapters that are the same writing and some books are missing chapters all together. I don’t like that I spend money on a chapter and go back into it later and find that my points are gone and the chapter I unlocked is no longer unlocked. I don’t like that you have to spend your “daily bonus points” within a week of getting them or they just disappear? This is the apps way of making you spend money to get enough points to read A SINGLE CHAPTER. I have tried re-downloading the app and have even gone as far as making a second account on a different device and I have the same issues. I am seriously dealing with this app because I am invested in a couple stories and I will be deleting it once done.

Not So Happy

Let preface this by stating this is still an ongoing case. Dreame claims to be working on it but this started over a month ago (this is March 2022) and still happening.

I used to love this ap but for the past month all they’ve done is fail. First the refreshed/reset the ap and made me re-pay for some of my chapters. When I submitted a ticket for it we went back and forth for over a week before they finally blamed it on the writer. Now my ap keeps refreshing/resetting every day, multiple times a day and they will do nothing about it. Can’t even get a refund for unused coins cause they said it’s not their problem to ask the payment service provider. Then said “besides there are many interesting stories on Dreame…” they went on to ask that I continue to support the up n coming writers, which I’d be happy to do if I could get through a story in peace. Today? I lost my entire library. Now I have to battle with them over that and whatever repercussions come from it.

They won’t even offer any sort of incentive for the trouble or to stay, either. I know this because something similar happened to me last year but not to this degree. They told me then, just as they are now, that other people were going through the same issues. It finally did get resolved but they just moved on with out any recognition of the fact that their glitch caused their customers distress in any way.

Difficult app that charges full price for rough drafts

This is my second attempt at using this app. I get drawn in through FB ads of stories they give a taste of and I want to finish. However, it is so unnecessarily overly complicated with these coins. There is no clear explanation of how anything works. Also, the majority of the books are very poorly written. Sometimes the storyline is good enough I can overlook the grammar errors, spelling mistakes, and continuity errors. But then I have to try to figure out how to use their ridiculous coin system which I discovered last time costs the same as buying an actual edited and published book.
The reason I’m here giving this app another shot is because if you can get past the bad writing these stories can be addictively creative and you cannot find them elsewhere. This time around I spent $3 to buy 300 coins to try it out before spending more and I have no idea what is going on. I cannot purchase anymore chapters after choosing only one and my wallet says I have 1 coin, but another area says I have 311 coins. A bunch of chapters opened up in the book I was reading so maybe that’s where my coins went? But I thought we are supposed to have the option to choose where we spend the coins. That’s how it was last time. I’m at a total loss. Since this app seems even worse than the last time I tried it, I certainly won’t be investing anymore into it.
