Good Concept, Bad Execution
Soccer_lover12
The concept is good—providing hard working authors with money for their time and effort. however, many apparent flaws come to light as you use the app. I understand the paying part, but for lightly edited amateur writing, it is far too overpriced. Now, some authors produce publishing quality work, and the some twenty dollars is reasonable (still expensive, but reasonable.) Some works, on ten other hand, are not. Some author don’t complete their works, yet you were forced to pay to read them (that is for premium works.) I feel that in order to qualify to be a premium (even freemium, although you can wait for that so it’s not necessary) your work has to be 1) complete, and 2) reviewed for quality. If any of these points are not fulfilled, the book is demoted to freemium. just a suggestion.
$15 on radish vs $2 on kindle

There are a LOT of great authors on this app, and I am very happy for those who are not published to be able to make a profit off of their hard work. HOWEVER it’s really unacceptable that the price is so high for those who are published. Let’s say there are 45 individual chapters on radish, even if 3 are free, that’s still 42 you have to pay for. That’s around 126 coins which is about $15.00 (with a pack of coins that has a discount no less). Yet if you go to amazon where that author has published the SAME book, you can get the exact SAME thing for anywhere between $0.99-$4.99 Moral of the story, be smart with your money and check if they have it for sale on kindle/elsewhere. But also that’s pretty messed up on radish’s part. Thanks for reading, bye.
Good but...

Honestly, I think authors getting pay is awesome but most stories have chapters that are short that’s it’s not worth the 3 coins that I pay for. it’s really annoying wasting money on something that it’s not worth it. I really love reading all this stories from radish but after my coins that I purchased are over that will it from me because I honestly think 3 coins for chapter that is not long enough to be called a chapter be worth my time or money. I get it that authors want to have that extra money but at least make it worth the money you are getting payed for. Radish should make a policy of the length of chapter they are posting. Or make short chapter one coin at least. We have wattpad but now authors put their stories on radish which is great but it’s just too much and sometimes not worth it. What was fun about reading stuff from app such as wattpad was because of people that wanted to publish their own little stories and what was good about it was people got to comment it, like it but now it’s getting out of hand because we have to pay for it. Instead of paying chapters I prefer getting ads that show up every time I want to read the next chapter.
It needs some improvements

There are some good books that I really like but there’s no efficient way to earn more coins to unlock episodes. They have events so you can earn more coins but they’re like once a month and you usually only earn 5 coins which will only get you one episode. There is also no paging feature so you have to scroll.
Great stories but pricy

I truly enjoy many of these stories and the majority of them are worth the money. The problem is that the coins are evaluated WAY TOO HIGH!! You have to pay 3 coins every chapter that is not free. The first three are always free. If the book is not free it is premium or freemium. Freemium means you have to wait for them to be free. It can be between a few days to a few months. For premium if it’s a lot of chapter you’ll have to pay quiet a bit. For example if you pay 20 chapter, that’s 3 coins per chapter (average ratio with no discount) is $.50 (20*.50= $10.00) some books are like 50 chapters. That’s a lot for an online book. Some physical books are cheaper. I know the company AND the author want a profit but it’s just too expensive. Better to just wait it out or find it somewhere for cheaper truly. This is not to take away of the quality of the books. Many are very good.
