The app is free to download however there is in-app purchases available that give you access to features/tools. These range from $0.99 to $1.99.

Overall users can expected a cleaner, smoother, more stable experience, which shows in the high 4.5 out of five star rating they have given the app. There are still plenty of comments you’ll find from users however about features, tools, and changes they would like to see made to the app.

A Fluid Experience

What I really like is the fact you can discover some really cool "books" or works from people just like yourself. They may not be professional authors but that doesn't mean they can't put together a story that is riveting. On this note, this is your opportunity to become a writer. Just as others have written stories you can do the same and let everyone else appreciate your talent and ideas. In order to publish your own story you need to write a title, the story, and then publish it. As you are working on it you can save it as a draft and then publish it when it is complete. Be sure to share your stories through your social networks so all your friends and family can enjoy them.
