## Tapon Reviews in South Africa

### ***** "Abandoned"
The book is well written and exciting to read. However, it was advertised as free but we still have to pay for reading it!
-- monyake, 2024-08-26

### *---- "False advertising"
The app initially claims that you can read for free. This untrue. You need to either watch adds or do tasks to earn coins to unlock chapters or you need to buy coins. 
If you decide to do the tasks or watch adds, you will be wasting so much time doing this, it’s ridiculous. 
Buying coins is just as wasteful, because it’s actually cheaper to buy books.
-- belinda kern, 2024-08-10

### ***** "Problem"
I just deleted the app and am going to download it again. The problem I have is that I click to watch the adds, watch the ads and then I don’t get get the coins.  The story I am reading is brilliant!

Another thing is that since yesterday there are ads between the chapters making scrolling more difficult. I don’t mind watching ads but am not a fan of your new layout 🙈
-- LynB4422, 2024-07-23

### **--- "Points not allocated"
More often than not points are not allocated for watched videos… isn’t that a bit of a scam?
 We use our data to watch videos and then don’t get the coins as stated on your app.
-- Neebs16, 2024-04-20

### ***-- "expensive"
it’s expensive
-- Bigeyes 1, 2023-12-20

### *---- "Ridiculously expensive"
After spending a small fortune on “coins” I’m still not even through the book. And the cost goes up for important chapters! It is cheaper to buy whole books! And these stories are written so badly it’s an absolute atrocity! This app should be banned!
-- Lmfaomer, 2023-11-07

### ***** "Abigail 2nd life"
I hav paid but received no coins Thintane
-- THINTANE, 2023-11-06

### ***** "Millionaire series"
Need extra free coins
-- Read mania, 2023-10-29

### *---- "Scam"
Even if you earn bonus rewards it still shows as zero on your balance. They just want you to buy coins the whole time. And even the bonus points promised with buying coins does nit happen. And if you had a balance of some bonus points it would be wiped out with no reason
-- marievdw, 2023-09-10

### ***** "love reading Tapon"
I daily enjoy reading these books on this app  teaching on what happen to us daily
-- mpushie, 2023-08-28

### ***** "Novels"
Very good novels and interesting
-- Talapi@1234, 2023-08-17

### *---- "Expensive"
It’s ridiculous that buying coins doesn’t mean you can finish a book and that every chapter needs coins. You’re exploiting the readers but making the chapters so short as well. As a whole I’m disappointed because the stories are good
-- a.maani, 2023-04-02

### *---- "Money hungry"
This app is a bottomless pit! I purchased coins twice but couldn’t finish the book - it’s more than what a standard published novel costs!! This is a rip-off and I’d like to warn others before falling for this scam!! You shouldn’t be allowed to operate at all! Disgusting pigs
-- MrsNCRed, 2022-10-23

### *---- "Charged extra by R170 for purchasing coins"
I purchased coins from this app to ready a novel but I was charged more that what the coins actually cost and I have been sending messages for this to be rectified and seems like no one is willing to assist😥😥 I would have loved to finish the novel that I have started reading but I am so disappointed ☹️
-- Zimfihlelo, 2022-07-24
