I check in several times daily, sometimes it does not log my check in. It shows that I got my check in bonus, but it doesn't credit to my wallet. It expires my points when I try to use them. I get the 15 minute read bonus, but it only shows I read 1 minute if the 45 minute bonus. The chapters are extremely short for the amount of points needed and there are so many bugs in this app. It takes well over a month to read one story, by the time I finish, I have forgotten some of the storyline.

Way too expensive for what you’re getting
This app quickly got way too expensive. Coins cost too much money and they charge on average about 25 coins for a chapter. Sometimes the chapters are just a few paragraphs long and absolutely don’t say anything or move the story forward, so you’re stuck wanting to move on to the next chapter, only to find out the next chapter is the same. This has been the case for most of these stories, except the ones by a few select authors. For the most part, it’ll end up costing you around $10-$15 dollars for a mediocre book. It’s just not worth it. I can read an actual book for $3-$5, and the work has been put in for the book. By work I mean they have actually hired an editor, because golly who is writing some of these stories. The grammatical errors in some of these stories completely ruin the book. Sometimes you’re left wondering what in the world they were even trying to say. I know they’re quickly trying to throw something together so they can get their next chapter out, thus collect more coins from us, but please do it the right way and take your time. Trust me we will appreciate that more. There are a few apps such as this one (I.e readit) that may be a cheaper option, but so far this one is just too expensive for books that sound like they were written by a 12 year old. -
Needless confusion, 30 minutes with the app and I'm already done with it. You don't explain it at all? What's with spinny wheels, earning points, buying coin? I would pay a monthly subscription to access a dreame library, then pay an author to get to know them better. Too much hassl! Didn't take me long to see the scam, coin by chapter? That's going to get expensive quick. Of course now I'm invested in the story and will have to hunt down this young and budding author to pay her for hard work.

Not worth it at the current price range.
I checked out a few stories and even though some have some good concepts and ideas, these are not polished or edited very well. There is misspelling and grammar errors everywhere. The stories are not even fleshed out. Characters are flat, and plot scenarios and interactions are not organic and a bit forced (and don’t get me started on the puns or bad overuse of tired quotes from movies and/ or books). Two dimensional, at best. All the authors seem to be amateurs still working on their writing styles and I have yet to find one who has been published other than with this app. I also find the time to unlock each chapter a bit insulting. I started reading a book with 53 chapters and the time to unlock the last chapter was almost 98 days at time of adding the book to my library. They do offer free promotional coins but it only about 60 or less a day and since the chapters cost 10, 13, 15, or 18 coins to unlock, at most 3-4 chapters of any book a day, which if you’re a fast reader like me could mean probably no more than 20-30 minutes. Not worth the money this app wants to charge (almost $.10 to $.20 a chapter). Maybe if they offer unlimited reading for $5 a month but no more, since there are other apps and reading programs that have established authors (and better editing) for $10 or more a month, WITH unlimited reading. -
Lovely books. The lucky spin makes no sense at all. I was hoping this feature would be giving coins to go towards reading but all it does it put on back on the point for you to keep spinning. Requesting assistance is a waste of time, you never get a reply. The chapters are too expensive, 31 cents for a chapter, even coming to the end of the book.

The stories are good. With that being said they can get very pricey. I don't mind paying to read a book but the amount of coins vs the amount you read is high. Just an update to my prior review. I do not appreciate paying twice to open a chapter. I also do not appreciate paying 20 coins for 2 pages in a chapter. I remember now why I quit using the app for so long.

I lowered my stars from what it was before, because on the app I am having a hard time finding books that I want to read. There is more variety on the online web version then on the app. The app needs to have more access to more books, it's like a limited amount on there if looking for a new book that you haven't already started reading. Need to fix that big time

Great books but problems with app
I have found a lot of great books, as long as you can overlook the language issues (grammar, incomplete sentences, issues when translating to English, etc.); however, most books are pay to unlock and the price is preset by admins so some books, if you buy coins to read, end up costing $30+ to read. That is more than what best selling authors charge to buy a book! If you don’t buy coins but use the ones you can earn daily, it can take months to be able to read an entire book. Additionally, there seems to be a lot of issues with the app itself. It resets at least once a day so all of the books that I am currently reading reset back to chapter 1 like nothing has been read, books/episodes I have downloaded are cleared out, and I have had books disappear from my library. The most frustrating is the downloaded books/episodes disappearing and then the books switches to pay to unlock and I now have to pay for what I previously downloaded. I have sent multiple messages to the admins about this and have yet to hear back. It seems like they don’t really care about the readers that use their app, just the money they can make by over charging per chapter.

My original review was much higher. I've been using dream a while now, about four months. I've bought a lot of coins and How you make the coins is by reading and doing certain tasks. Well twice now I was supposed to get 150 bonus coins for reading for an hour. I contacted support the second time on December 27th, Still nothing. Until I get a response back I'm done spending money in it. Your books are more expensive and you can see I do pay to read them. I have screenshots of the 2nd time.

The books are ok but you have to pay a LOT of money to be able to finish a book. I purchased coins with a bonus of 6000 points and in a span of 2 days, it just disappeared! Istill had 4000 bonus left and I had to do some chores and it was gone!!! I didn't even finished the book I was reading! I am utterly disappointed. At first I didn't mind buying coins but after this experience my heart just sank knowing I won't be able to finish the books I wanted to finish reading!!!!
