RedChapters

I really like the app and the selection of stories it has. But to give 1 coin for an add is terrible. There is the daily reading but it stops at 60 minutes, in my opinion from all the other apps I have let’s just say it’s sparse. I will have to put this app on the back burner and maybe revisit in a year or so to see if it has improved. There are great apps out there that are free and some with only 1 add in between chapters.

More than two stars is a bot!! These stories Too expensive, too many ads/ad breaks required for a short chapter, the AI writing is sometimes decent but not edited, and after 196 chapters of one story and a month of waiting, the book is still not updated and I can’t finish the story unless I read several of the app’s other books “while I wait”, of course paying for those also unfinished stories. In the meantime I can’t go back to the original book I was reading because I no longer have access to the chapters I paid for unless I pay again. This developer is scammy and money grubbing and has three other book reading apps that scam your money the same way (buy coins, still watch a ton of ads and never finish a book). There’s no effective reporting issues, no follow up and no satisfaction. The dev’s website is a glorified landing page and giving anymore money feels wrong. I’m over this developer and deleting.

I don’t like that it doesn’t give you the next chapter once you’ve waited the required 8 hours, if you’ve got any points. You have to use all your points up before free chapters. Good books though

I just downloaded the App to read my first story. The plot is interesting but there is a doer annoying issue with the story. The characters keeping referring to each other by their first and last names in conversations. There were conversations between best friends, husband and wife, and mom/daughter brother. Real people don’t communicate like this. It’s annoying and unrealistic. Is this story written by AI? If so adjust the program. If this continues, I may delete the App. Too much money for me to be annoyed by this weird writing habit.

I’m new to the app. The book I started reading the branded Queen. I’m at 25th chapter and the heroine since the first chapter has been beaten, raped, clawed or starved. What a horrible story! I kept thinking it get better, keeps getting worse. There are a total of 196 chapters. These chapters are short. So if you want to get through all 196 it’ll cost you around $50 US dollars. Save yourself the money, go your local libraries online site and check out free electronic books. Ive spent less money on a paper that has more content than these dragged out little stories.

I am now up to 33 ads just to read one ridiculously short chapter which means they are pulling in money and wasting my time.

Well-written stories so far, but could use a little proof-reading, especially regarding pronouns. Wish one didn’t have to wait so long (8 hours) for new chapters to be available, or require as many ads to load later chapters.

I have cancer and have been on chemo for 8 years, I like to read to keep my mind off of my health issues. You have to watch ads to read the next chapter, it starts out with 1 ad then increases with each chapter. I had to watch 30 ads which took me longer to watch than it did to read the 6 page chapter. So I decided to purchase “coins” I spent $30 on coins which didn’t get me very far. It’s absolutely ridiculous, I could purchase a paperback book for less than $10 and read it as many times as I want. The other issue is there’s very little dialogue, way too much inner monologue and scenery descriptions. And the first 1-2 paragraphs of the next chapter basically repeats the end of the previous chapter. So the first page in a 6 page chapter is just filler. I realize the author and the app need to make money but how much money do you need to make off of one person for Pete’s sake?! Especially someone like me with serious health issues and limited income? Oh wait maybe these authors are the digital nomads we hear so much about, traveling all over the world, constantly on vacations that the readers are paying for. Which is fine but having to charge each reader so much money makes me think you must not have very many people downloading the app.

During their ad they stated that all chapters are free. I expected that I would have to watch ads for that privilege and wasn’t surprised that I had to watch 1 ad for the first blocked chapter. However, every chapter after that I had to watch 1 additional ad every time. I am now at 18 ads to watch for a chapter that has two and a half pages to it. 18 ads. I thought for sure that they would stop adding additional ads to watch, but I was wrong. Basically, they are trying to wear you down so you’ll pay for the chapters. Therefore they lied, technically, because they know that people are going to give up. I’m done, not to pay, but to leave.

Tantalizing story in an ad. Downloading the app. At first I thought the chapters of this book were longer than stories I’ve read in other book apps, but not really Repetitive. Minor changes to wording that paint the same emotion/scene. Over. And Over. And Over. I accidentally backed into a previous chapter, and it wouldn’t allow me to return to the next chapter that I’d barely started. The app wanted me to pay again… maybe 5 seconds on the accidental return to the previous chapter. Chapter 8 is the last chapter read in the book, but Chapter 6 is the last chapter that I can see without paying (in one way or another) to access Chapters 7 & 8. I’m willing to watch ads, but the review complaints about increasing quantities of ads required per chapter are more than I’m willing to invest. Good story hook in the ad, but 2 days and only 8 (repetitive) chapters into the story. I’m done. My interest in the story is gone. Not worth it.
