I paid $9.99 a week for one book because you can’t cancel the subscription!
I paid $1.99 to read one book which turned out to be a horrible book. MoboReader charged me $9.99 a week until I finally reported my card as stolen because there is nowhere to stop the subscription. I emailed them and told them to stop charging my card and they ignored me. They refuse to refund me any money. I did not read any other books other than the one I initially paid for. Don’t be fooled like I was and pay a ridiculous amount for inferior books.
The amount of ads are horrendous. Majority of time I keep getting message "No Fill" what the hell does that mean? Also when it asks you to read articles, 9 times out of 10 I get a message saying "Error not available at this time. Its taken me nearly 3 weeks to read 130 chapters, Why?????. The ads appear after every chapter which only consist of 2.5 - 3 pages long. If it wasn't for the story I'm reading, I would delete this app once the story has finished. Moboread get your flaming act together. I don't make any payments etc or claim coins, maybe this is why its taking so long. Maybe moboread can explain
Discarded Wife: The Secret Billionaire Heiress
The same event is completely rewritten from one chapter to the next, relationships change (from mother to aunt, for example.) as the book progresses, main character blocks a phone number but gets calls and texts from the same number in the next chapter, main character breaks off his engagement over and over and over, etc. Storyline threads are a disaster. Somewhere in there is a decent storyline but there can’t possibly be any editing taking place. I’m deleting the app.
SCAM – Impossible to cancel subscription, unauthorized charges
I am writing this to warn everyone about MoboReader. This app is a complete scam.
I signed up for a trial to see if I liked the app. I didn't, so I checked for an active subscription. In the app, the subscription section was empty, and nothing was listed in my Google Play subscriptions. So, I deleted the app, thinking that was the end of it.
A few days later, I noticed two separate charges of $7.99 each taken from my card by "MOBOREADER TECHNOLOGY USA CO LTD". The total is almost $16.
Here’s why this is a scam:
1. No way to cancel: Because the payments are processed through Stripe (not directly through Google Play), the subscription does NOT appear in your Google Play account where you would normally cancel it. This is a deliberate trick to prevent you from stopping the payments.
2. Hidden subscription: The app itself showed "No subscription data," proving I had no control or access to cancel anything from their side.
3. Double charge: They didn't just charge me once, but twice.
I have filed complaints with Google Play and Stripe, but I want everyone to know: DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP. Do not give them your payment information. You will be charged and it will be nearly impossible to cancel through normal means. Check your bank statements immediately if you have used this app before.

This app is dishonest,you get hooked and then the story becomes a mumble jumble of repeats just to make the chapters longer and make you pay more ! Absolutely regret! DO NOT USE
I signed up to read a book and was never able to cancel. Luckily my credit card is able to block the charges so I was only charged twice. I kept emailing the company and they kept redirecting me to the app and then the app would redirect me again to cancel. This is a scam!!!
I too signed up for the subscription. I enjoyed the story. I couldn't get my subscription to cancel after multiple email attempts. I had two different emails and it didn't matter. Yes, they did charge my account. I agreed to the first one. When I couldn't cancel, I took all my emails to my bank with my printed-out bank statement. They put a block from them on my account. They reversed the money back to my account for the second amount taken out because I had shown I tried to cancel multiple times. I have purchased many online books. I won't be getting them from Moboreader anymore. Too bad, they have some interesting stories.
Where to start. The whole app is horrible. I am trying to read one story and can't get through the story. First there is the coins problem. Then the ads. I must have watched over 12 ads to get to the next chapter and it did not happen. Its a horrible app. As much as I want to finish reading the story, I can't be bothered. I think I will go old school and go to an actual bookstore and by an actual book. Its cheaper to buy a book at a bookstore, or another fantastic idea. There something that's been around for a long time. Its called a LIBRARY.
I joined a subscription to finish a book, I tried to cancel the subscription for over a month with no help from anyone. I deleted my app thinking that would stop the collection of 14.99 a week. But it didn’t. Now I have paid 14.99 for over a month with no service either. I requested the company who collect the money weekly and they don’t reply. I wouldn’t recommend mono reader to anyone.

You pay high amount and you can’t see for free all episodes. This SVIP episode is another way to steal people money and lack of transparency from the beginning. Then you want them to keep paying for additional few episodes.
I will never watch again on this app and will remove it
Thought I was just buying a one off payment & now keeps taking weekly payments out of my bank & won’t give me an agent online chat to help, just keep getting auto Anne, also tried emailing & just says I have to cancel on there app 😡
I’ve tried to cancel this and I’ve been charge $28 every other week. How do cancel this ? I called left message. Will call again. If anyone else users are having same problem help a girl out. Please. Thank you.kat
This is a total scam. I paid $6usd, and after watching three 2 minute videos, it said I was out of viewing credits. There’s no clear pricing at all, just constant pop-ups asking you to pay more, subscribe, or buy VIP. Feels like a cash grab.
I keep getting a weekly charge on my card. I am trying to cancel...I had to cancel my other card for same reason. Now they got a hold of my other credit card. I will have to cancel this one too..I should not have to do this..I tried phone number but all it is recordings of offers...
Horrendous. Keep being charged for a service I have no idea what it is. I have looked at the apps with Annie and they state no subscription? Not in Google Play/pay pal or listed as a direct debit. Been trying to cancel for age's. Stay away from this service
I kept seeing charges? In fact three this week. I checked my subscriptions showing they were cancelled in 2024. Contacted my bank and they showed numerous charges in 2025. I have filed a claim and waiting for reimbursement.
This app is a complete hoax. I paid $30 to have the ability to watch free drummers for one week. I have watching 43 episodes of one vertical. I was told that I would need to buy more coins to be able to continue watching these shorts. Other than that, I can wait 12 hours to watch another one. I am going to be trying to get a refund. I would suggest not using
I cancelled subscription and checked every website and phone app to see if I am still subscribed but they still charge me every week and emails don’t go through. They are scamming people.
I signed up to finish a book i started, but the book ended at half way thru with no way of finishing the book. When I paid thru apple pay it was for 30 days. I knew at that point I had been ripped off. I just checked my account and a week later they took another 13.99 from my account. I can't get anywhere to cancel. Don't use this service. a Complete rip off! I will file complaints where necessary
