Love the books but not the app

I love most of the books that are on this app, but the auto unlock is really ridiculous. Specially, when you’re trying to save coins for a book that you do like or want to finish you can’t. I don’t understand why when I turn the auto unlock off it still pops on, it’s there an none auto unlocks feature that we can permanently turn off, and we could turn it on if we want? that would be nice to have because I don’t mind listening to a few chapters of a book to see if I like it, but I don’t want it to auto unlock for me if I’m not into the book, so I’m wasting coins on chapters of a book that I’m not really into.

Hi, sorry to hear that. You can submit your problem and user ID to the online service. We will handle it for you as soon as possible.

Earn Rewards Downgrade

Originally, you got 20 coins for checkin then for a few weeks it went to 45, which I thought it was an upgrade as a reward for accessing the app daily. Then I noted it went down to 20 then to 15 and now back to 20. Then the listening coins were 10 for 30 minutes, 30 for 90 minutes, and 40 for 120 minutes total of 80 coins. This could be 1 or two chapters depending on the book. November 1, 2023 it went down to 5 for 30 minutes, 15 for 90 minutes, and 25 for 120 minutes total of 45 for the same amount of reading, but for less coins. Watching ads were 5 coins per add then 3 coins, and today reduced to 2 coins. Instead being a valued diligent customer you are being reprimanded for it. It’s ridiculous! On top of the fact that the value of this books are literally almost the price of a first edition of a classic book not even close to a classic plot, and they’re not equivalent to the outrageous price. I can buy a best seller for cheaper. So I refuse to spend 100s on a book. Now, I started a new book that has 233 chapters that I have to finish after this I’m deleting the app. It’s ridiculous the changes. I’m not buying it’s not worth that amount of money, but I’ll get the measly coins offered and for 1-2 chapters. I should have it all open in 1-2 months. Then I can listen to it.🤦🏻‍♀️

Getting charged for monthly subscription on two different days

As of October 1, 2023… I’m not to happy after the updated for my iPhone, that I noticed I was getting charged twice for the same monthly subscription on to different days. Once on the 3rd and then again on the 5th. I have tried contacting them through the app and since I just found out, I’ll give it some time. If I wouldn’t have updated my phone, and seen the screen that shows my monthly subscriptions, I would have not caught this with all these auto pay.

As far as the books, I like the books that are actually complicated. I don’t like the books that say ongoing because some have been ongoing for months and I think they just forgot about them. Some of the voices for the dramatizations are horrific and high pitched so if you’re wearing headphones or ear buds be careful.

Also, be careful and watch your library because I have seen books in my library that I did not add on there and when I remove them, they reappear like if someone else is adding it to my account. That’s scary. Hopefully, this review will help to address this concern.

I would also recommend that you use the daily bonuses to make purchases for the chapters, but as I’ve said in the beginning of this review be careful your not getting charged more than once a month, with auto pay. This does give you more coins on a daily basis. Just watch the timers because you can receive bonuses after listening 30, 60 & 90 minutes.
