I downloaded this app because I love to read. Being a busy mom of 6, I do not have the time to sit and read a nice book so I thought “What the heck, why not?” You advertise that the app is free… To start off it is not. The app itself is free yes. But you all get paid double. So technically it is not. You have to watch ads in order to unlock new 1-2 minute video(you all get paid per person per ad) The reason they are 1-2 minute clips is because if you throw out a full episode, no one would really pay to get ads removed. They can just watch it and be done. Basically, promote the ad, every download pays the creator who then pays the promoter. (To my knowledge. I am not too familiar with how that works but money is being generated.) Now if you DO NOT want any ads, you have to PAY to remove the ads (Still getting paid). You’re breaking our pockets by filling yours. I get that bugs are being “fixed” but that’s really not the issue here. The issue is that for the amount of ads that we watch and the amount of time and money we spend on this “free app” we should be seeing WAY more than just 1-2 minutes. I refuse to watch anymore ads and as much as I want to see some of these amazing storylines, I cannot deal with these ads. Will definitely delete. I’ve had this app for a week. I gave it a shot. Not wasting anymore time.

My first issue with this app it not story or how long or short they are it has to do with the free video option where if u watch 15 ads u get 15 episodes but tht is not even close to the truth, u will get a max of 10 episodes to watch, when u start watch the video make sure u count them, I watch the 1st one them it said I watch 2 free videos when I watch one it skips over number 2, 6, 9, 13, 15 too offer something and not follow threw or cheat people out of it is kinda on the f up side. My second issue is the auto play never turn off even when u turn it off, I don’t like auto play cuz I might not want to watch the next episode at tht point in time to have to turn it off between every episode is ridiculous My third issue is most of the video I watch only have sound but the following episodes have picture with the sound, it weird trying to assume wht going on without knowing wht going on, with some short story it hard it picture wht is going on without being able to see it

I’m not interested in watching a bunch of ads. I want to watch the stories. I don’t know if it is the case with all the stories but to only get through 6 sentences of dialogue between characters and then have to watch an ad to continue is a little ridiculous. I understand you need to make money to provide content and I don’t mind watching the ads, but you are calling yourself the next generation of streaming and comparing yourself to TV and other streaming services and it is just no comparison. I would rather pay a subscription fee to watch a full show than to have to watch an ad literally every 1-2 minutes. If the streaming industry had started out this way, it wouldn’t have lasted a week. Even free streaming services let you watch at least 15 minutes of a show before an ad. I can’t see this app being around for long unless you change your business model.
