Kikistory-Enjoy read and life for Android

This is a very good novel app

Easy to read and enjoy. It's very convenient to use. I also like the content of the book

I took the liberty of crunching some numbers and doing a little bit of research so that my claim that this app being unworthy of those of us that work hard for our money, that enjoy the mental escape while traversing through another's literary work of art. Those of us that love the entertainment that comes with indulging in our favorite pastime of imagination, while not having to consider filing a police report for the grand larceny committed each and every time it's time to purchase the next chapter. Now, I know that the one star, all caps and slightly scathing first paragraph might make it seem like I am being petty towards this reading application. I am not. However, I am bothered enough to take the time to express my justified dislike for how the Developers and/or the writer, comes off as completely acquisitive or in layman's terms, greedy. I'm not sure who sets the prices, hence why I included both parties. Moving on to my proof, because men lie, women lie, but numbers don't! The story I have saved in my library (that I know I won't be finishing in this lifetime because the bonuses that you can earn aren't enough for even one chapter per day), has 15 chapters that are free and they are poorly edited. I won't get into the details about the editing, it's not relevant. I merely bring it up because with all of the bonuses I earned with being a new member and the 99¢ I spent for a few extra coins and bonus, I was able to unlock a few chapters, which were also poorly edited. Though my calculations are very far below accuracy, even the low ball numbers I'm going to present will still be offensive. The total for all 10 chapters was 1,430, averaging 143 Coins/chapter, which is very generous. Chapter 21 alone is 156 Coins! This story has 945 chapters, which means 135,135 Coins are needed. For $49.99 you will receive 3500 Coins. You would have to purchase this pack 39 times which would cost you $1,949.61. l could LITERALLY buy an authenticated autographed copy of "Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone", signed by Daniel Radcliffe aka HARRY POTTER, for $1,600!!! I understand language barriers, I can ignore some editing mistakes. When the author becomes repetitive, that confirms that I'm reading the work of an inexperienced writer. No problem, I will continue to support, but I will also skip a few chapters so I can get to a new point. This app does NOT allow you to skip ahead. The numbers I crunched are ONLY Coin cost, from Chapters 16 through 25. As the chapters went up in numbers, so did the price. Chapter 16 cost 26 Coins OR 130 Bonus. Chapter 17 jumped up to 52 Coins or 260 Bonus, Chapter 18, 78 Coins or 390 Bonus until finally at Chapter 25, 260 Coins or 1300 Bonus. When I added up all of the Bonus to unlock just 10 chapters, the total was 7,150. Because Bonus costs went from 130 to 1300, I won't even attempt to make sense of those numbers, just know that's why earning Bonus is cool, but it's gonna take a while before you can get a chapter. In conclusion, until they rectify this issue, I'm only going to come on for the daily check-ins and videos to try and save up for a new chapter. Haven't read the rules, but hopefully the Bonus don't expire in 7 days. That won't be enough time for a new chapter, in which I'll just delete the app and move on. I'd like to try and support the writer if I can, not so much the app. I read a review posted on October 29th with the subject stating "Horrible" and saying the same thing as me with less words and an added suggestions of banishment. The Developers wrote back and I can't make this up, but they ACTUALLY said, and I quote, "To ensure the genuine rights of the books as well as the interests of the authors, the prices of the books are completely reasonable." Completely REASONABLE?!? To read an unedited, 7 paged, repetitive, and un-skippable Chapter 23, me paying 208 Coins or 1040 Bonus is considered reasonable??? In what universe? This concludes my sermon, I am stepping down from the soapbox afforded to me inside the Reviewing section. Hope you enjoyed my mini free story of a review and I hope the Developers read this and realize that their quoted prices for coins and unlocking chapters is supremely efficient for what it is, and what it is, is trash water.

Bound by Fate - Spent $75 for 110 chapters. And guess what? There are 774 chapters to go! 😆😳. And here’s the thing! I completed the 10 videos they allow you to watch so I can save points and continue watching at least for a few more chapters, but even that, they took them away 🤦🏻‍♀️- when I logged back in, they were all gone! Yes, they have great books, but I’m afraid I have to disagree; they are not well written and edited- words are repetitive. They are not great apps. Yes, you can watch videos for free reading, but you will be watching two videos for one chapter, which are very short. So you will get commercial breaks after a minute. Too expensive indeed, and I couldn’t wait for 3-5 months to finish the book and had no time to watch videos every day just to save points, and they ended up taking it all away. I am so sad, but I accepted now that I Will never finish the story!!! I have to move on.

They have very good stories but it will take about $300 to read a story with 1500 chapters or more. The one I am reading chapters are about 15 pages per chapter but it’s only like about 5 pages. Ads take up half of each pages and the lines spaces are double to triple spaces. Many pages only have about 4-5 lines. The grammatical errors are horrible. The people names keep changing and he/him is refer to she/her and I is you etc. So frustrating for all the money you have to pay. You can earn points by watching video and checking in. I will probably have to do this way and take 2-3 months to finish book. Too expensive
