The story Mama's Lil Kings is very captivating. However, the episodes are so short and then costly to enjoy. It shouldn't cost with 9-11 minute sessions. Then they stop providing video all togethe... See more

This company is a scam!!
This company is a scam!!! You were ment to get 80ncoins, I got 12. All I got was 2 episodes. There is no where to contact these at all. It is a scam.. stay away or be ripped off as I have just been.
The UI felt a bit jittery
The UI felt a bit jittery, which could be improved for a smoother experience. Although I selected English as my preferred language while participating in a contest, Hindi was set as the default. As a result, I had to change the language again after writing my entire story. Another issue was that the audio started playing automatically as soon as I opened the app, which negatively affected my experience. It would be much better if the audio played only after the user explicitly clicks the play button.
App is Amazing for Stories Listening
For stories, This App is amazing. I could listen to many Stories while Commuting to work every day. It's just fantasy Everyday.
Also i joined a contest now. Let's see how my stories shapes others life
But this App is one if the Best ❤️
Very good Platform for story lover

I have been listening for over 50 days…and now it is gone.
I have been listening for over 50 days and now my story and level are gone. Listening to the Dukes Masked Bride, enjoying the story, but this week I am unable to log in to the last episode. I was about episode 375.
No new chapters of the book I have…
No new chapters of the book I have following and when there is a new chapter it's only every other day
Expensive
Expensive. Stories are good but you pay 5 dollars for like 3 episodes when the story has 2300 episodes its ridiculous. Dont waste your time
POCKET FM ARE A FULLY AI RUN BUSINESS…
POCKET FM ARE A FULLY AI RUN BUSINESS NOW WHOSE CUTOMERS ARE EXPENDABLE. THEY DONT CARE ABOUT YOU OR THE MONEY YOU SPEND. HALF WAY THROUGH A BOOK THEY WILL TAKE AWAY THE EPISODES YOUVE ALREADY PAID FOR AND THROW YOU BACK TO THE START OF THE BOOK GIVING DIFFERENT VOICES FOR THE CHARACTERS WHICH SPOIL THE JOURNEY YOUVE HAD WITH THE BOOK.
THE PHOTO'S DONT MATCH WHATS BEING DESCRIBED AND THE EXPERIENCE BECOMES FRUSTRATING. FURTHERMORE THEY DONT HAVE A COMPLAINTS DEPARTMENT AND IT WOULD SEEM OUR HARD EARNED MONEY MEANS NOTHING TO THEM .. SOMETIMES IVE COMPLETELY LOST ALL MY COINS WITH NO WHERE TO CLAIM THEM BACK .... COMPLETE FRAUDSTERS ... BEING THAT I CANNOT LEAVE THINGS LEFT OPEN THIS HAS LEFT ME OPEN AND ANGRY AND THE OBVIOUS ROBBERY THEY ARE COMMITTING
NO COMPLAINTS DEPARTMENT MEAN CRIMINAL BUSINESS !!!!!!!
Horrible - money hungry
Some great stories, but the cost and then the ads are ridiculous. You can watch ads to get another episode, but they tell you it's only 16 ads then they put 3 ads into one ad period, it takes a LONG time, and they only credit it as watching one. Then there are times where you watch the ad (or 3) and you get back to the main page and it tells you you STILL have 16 ads to watch. I sat through 30 minutes of ads one day, only for 2 episodes and they were only a few minutes each. Waste of time. Find somewhere else to listen to stories or books, somewhere more honest
Start by reviewing the pricing…
Start by reviewing the pricing structure. Its a big scam!! What kind of e-book costs hundreds of pounds to complete and we dont even get to own the book. It doesnt make sense to pay hundreds of pounds to read the duke's masked bride. I had to stop buying the coins and got the rest of the story just asking google specific questions on the chare
cters and the episodes. I found out what happened to Edgar, Alastair, the Eldenfield throne, Kate and Damien in Greyhold etc. Anyway I will not ruin it for those who actually can afford to pay💰💰 to keep on reading 😕
Terrible support
Terrible support, don't have any need for help or you will loose your money. The stories are good but the poor support take your desires to listen to stop. Sometimes months if at all to fix any technical issues. I made mistake to recommend, my friend had an issue finally gave up and lost what money had spent on story without finishing as support never resolved issue.
Deceptive listening
Story’s are good. Currently listening to the Duke’s masked bride. On episode 1123. Periodically through the story, I have purchased a few tokens. But today when I went to go listen to my daily allotted amount. It informs me that going forward. The only way for me to finish the story is to purchase tokens or coins. As there is over 1300 episodes in the story that means that I still need to purchase enough tokens for 177 episodes and nine coins and episode that’s over 1500 more coins. As I’m a platinum member. I get 94 coins per $9.99 I would have to spend a minimum of another $169 to finish this one story. On top of what I have already spent. I could go to a bookstore and buy on average 11 books. I could go to a used bookstore and probably buy 32 bucks. And again this doesn’t count what I’ve already spent. Had I known that the whole end of the story I’d have to pay for on top of what I’ve already spent. I either wouldn’t have listened to the story or I would’ve waited to purchase anything till I got to this point in the story. This is robbery I will not be purchasing any more coins, and I will not be listening to any more stories on this app.
Good story line but Frustrating App
The coins and rewards you can earn or buy are frustrating. To find puzzles and games they offer to gain coins is awful. To see how many coins you earned are difficult Some of the spelling of character names are spelled different in each episode. . Some of the voices are annoying. After I finish The Dukes Masked Bride I’m deleting this App.
One star due to pocket fm knowing that…
One star due to pocket fm knowing that tapjoy is scamming their customers by not granting rewards earned through the offerwall on the app, and not doing anything about it. Spent good money signing up for subscriptions through the offerwall, only to be denied the rewards each time. The smaller rewards were granted instantly, showing that the tracking works. Tapjoy is a scam and shame on pocket fm for allowing it on their platform.
The listening experience is becoming…
The listening experience is becoming extremely deceptive. As I attempt to finish a series I have been listening to for about a year now has become very difficult. While spending money for extra coins, there were still daily free episodes (3 and/or 30 min.), slowly progressing to a point where I am now. While every day you hear "please come back tomorrow for your free daily episodes" there are NONE. Deceptively presented the only option to finish series will cost hundreds and hundreds of dollars. I am not going to pay over $900.00 just finish a story! I have already spent hundreds. It very disheartening to find out that you have been being slowly manipulated and taken advantage of while you have good intentions.
Born to Rule
Been watching born to rule, first there was visuals to go with the audio and 5 episodes would unlock the following day now there is no visuals to go with the audio and only two episode are unlocked the following day..rubbish

This app pulls you and then sets you up for a very expensive experience, if you want to complete an audio book. Do not use this app.

Apart from being very expensive and a useless so called customer service it just deleted my favourite series so all the money I spent has gone down the drain and their answer is listen to something else I’m contacting my bank and getting a refund on my account as this app is a scam and hoodwink people
