Have you seen PocketFM's freemium scheme?

So I am a student of audiobooks, I definitely do not want to spend much on my entertainment and although some audioseries are free on pocket FM but their most likeable series requires payment which I don't want to spend... like seriously. So I watch their advertisement in order to earn coins which I then spend on the app. But isn't it too much???? I mean 7 ads for 10 coins only????

Clarification Edit 1 - Still, I like that I can unlock good series just by watching ads. It would be even better if 7 ads gave a few more than 10 coins. 😝

Edit 2 - Your comments made me realise other platforms take our money monthly and still show us ads. PocketFM is better Lolz at least I m listening to audiobooks which I want, just by watching ads. So I think this was 'illinformed rant'. Sorry guys.

Episodes abruptly stopping

Im pretty far into my vampire system and for the last few days my episodes keep abruptly stopping. Like 20swc in it just goes to a loading screen and only starts after rebooting the app.

Any possible assistance is welcome.

Anything at the level of better than Reborn rich?

Hey everyone!
I’ve been using Pocket FM for over a year now, and honestly, the only audio series that has really kept me on the platform is Reborn Rich.
Whenever I try something else, I end up getting disappointed by the writing style, the overly dramatic storytelling, or the voice acting. I’m looking for something with a similar level of quality and a more engaging, polished style.
Are there any series you’d recommend that are on the same level as Reborn Rich? I’d love to find something new that actually hooks me.

Abysmal customer service… particularly over a privacy/security issue.

I noticed that my real name was showing up when I posted comments on the episodes. This is particularly concerning since I didn’t sign up with my real name… so somehow the app mined that personal info about me.

When I contacted the support feature, and got through the automated responses in the chat, there was no follow through with an actual person. There wasn’t even a message letting me know WHEN a person would be getting in touch with me or how long I needed to wait.

To really drive home the issue, I don’t know how to access the logs of all the comments I’ve made on various episodes of multiple stories… so I can’t even delete all of the comments myself in order to protect my privacy.

Pocket FM cannot remember what I was listening to. It’s bad at being a scam.

(Violet Purple). [SOLVED.] it’s The Wolves of Blood Moon. I’ve listened to the free beginnings of a few stories. Of course it’s AI written. the continuity of the has holes or two versions that’sbad enough I don’t want to follow the story, continue listening

They pay for an ad and I listen to some online and it is interesting. Then to the app, it backs up in the , and there are episodes that you’ve already listened to. And sometimes it’s not the same. I find that kind of funny.

So I’m finally listening to one that I actually like - the one with Violet Purple, the girl with Violet hair and green eyes. She didn’t know her background and drafted to the of girls who to be a Luna. (the fantasy that you are secretly better and special ) I listened in the ad and then in the app. On a future day, today, I opened the app to listen to it. But the app feed me my up with a I gave up on long ago.

My plans are to just enjoy what is for free. So I liked OKAY, the one I liked was about the girl Violet Purple going to a school where she met all 4 Alphas day one. At the everybody is supposedly trying to become the Luna for one of the four Alphas. They don’t quite say what will happen to the rest of the students.

This is the kind of story where you identify with the girl who special and you know it’s going to come out, put her on top even after all the disasters. keep their it stays interesting. I’ve only seen a couple of small inconsistencies.

Like before, the story that I saw from the ad changed when I went into the app. In this particular one she had been the only girl whoever successfully resisted the alpha’s mental commands. BUT: in the app, she was totally compliant, same scene, different revision, eh?

I’m I can’t remember the TITLE of the story . But I couldn’t even search for it if I knew it and didn’t show up at all the last time I went to the app.— which was the next time after listening to that story.

. They could get lots of money - using AI to make of their stories and charging fair.
