I made the mistake of purchasing coins! That’s on me! They say that there is a way to keep them from automatically unlocking the next story. I have yet to find that Control on the app. I’ve searched through every page. I woke up one morning and noticed that all of my coins, except for the last few were gone, and there had been multiple episodes opened on the book. I was listening to the night before. To be clear I understand how this works. I only open the free ones or the ones I have to spend one coin on. I never opened multiples, and since I learned about it, I have never allowed it to simply auto play. It will not stop and it will not warn you that you are spending more coins. The developers are intentionally hard to get hold of. The frequently ask questions do the portion where the automatic unlock can be changed. I have yet to find the Disabled button for the automatic unlock. I have searched every page including the player page to download pages the profile pages everything. They say it is there, I have not found it. In general, it’s decent storytelling. Some of the series are really good. However, the propensity to push you to want to buy coins and spend money which I understand is the way they make their money, but there are no real safeguards. They say you can earn coins at the same time I can buy an entire audiobook for $13. You will spend much much more than that if you are not careful on this app I think it’s disingenuous and I think they designed it to be able to rip people off. Sad but true welcome to India developers

Recommendation: Do not buy coins. Earned them or only open the free episodes. If you buy coins, the app will find a way to use them up without your permission. Forget the stories and go get Audible or something that allows you to purchase the entire book outright. These things drag you on like a soap opera. It’s OK if you understand that, but if you don’t, it can be a rude awakening, and you can spend way more money than necessary.
