Where can I find my stories now that you're shutting down?
We recommend following your favorite authors on social media to see if/where they decide to post their content moving forward. Radish does not have plans to open a new app, nor can we recommend an alternative, as each reader's preferences are unique. We encourage you to test other apps to see which one best suits your needs.
Can you provide me a list of everything I've read?
At this time, we are not able to provide this. Please review your past purchases in the app. If you need help logging in, send us an email and we'd be happy to help.
