JoyLit for Negative User Reviews
✓ Coin per chapterYou do have to pay per chapter, and you have to wait multiple days to get enough coins. Waste of time as you loose interest in the book..Version: 2.0.8
✓ Like a story? Try other optionsI refuse to pay too much for a book. There was a book on here I liked and found that I could get it on Kindle through Amazon. I’m a member so I didn’t need to pay for the book 😉.Version: 2.1.5
✓ Absolute conI bought 400 coins and was going back through the book to find the last chapter I was at and going through the book over chapters I’d already read used up my newly purchased coins.. totally scammed! So annoyed.. don’t be sucked in.Version: 2.0.6
✓ Too expensiveJust trying to read the book, but have to pay a lot to actually finish it. Not going to bother paying for extra coins snd will most likely delete the app. Waste of time, may as well buy a hard copy of a book, works out cheaper..Version: 2.0.0
✓ The billionaires surprise twinsWhy do I have to keep buying chapters. I have paid over $100 so far and haven’t finished the book yet. Don’t think that is right.Version: 2.0.9
✓ ExpensiveI will try to make it through the one book I’m reading, but I will not pay for coins! Other similar apps make you wait a certain amount of time and then you get the next chapter free. You only pay if you don’t want to wait. I got a reward, logged in for the second day and had enough coins for the next chapter. But then once done reading, they upped the amount of coins needed for the next chapter!! I am enjoying the storyline but that’s about the only good thing here. Very disappointing..Version: 2.1.1
✓ I feel as if I’m being scammedDo yourself a favour and don’t download this app After downloading this app, I purchased the 50% discount coupon and received 500 reader coins I started reading a book with 560 chapters consisting of 9 pages each It started out at 12 coins a chapter but increases with each chapter I read and found that I ran out of coins quite fast so I purchased a $30 pack of 2400 coins thinking this should last until the end of the book which was still above the cost of a regular book from any normal outlet However this amount of coins only lasted until chapter 76 with another 484 chapters to read At this rate, the book will cost over $200 to read a book which would cost around $25 in a store This is totally unethical and a full on scam.Version: 2.0.6
✓ Not worth itI have a few apps I read from and this one is by far the worst! A week to read on chapter, the point system is horrible, the stories are great just wish they were on another app instead.Version: 2.0.6
✓ JapaneseI do not speak,read,write,or understand Japanese. I only mention this because when I downloaded it everything was in Japanese. I deleted the app and now I’m glad after reading other ratings. I’m glad I didn’t spend any money on it. The story I was reading was quite engaging, though. Too bad I won’t be able to finish it..Version: 2.0.8
✓ What happens in VegasI really lived this book. Unfortunately was only able to access a few chapters. Before coins ran out. Really frustrating. 😞.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Wrong language - can’t read East AsianLiked the book from the review but my app is completely Chinese or Japanese or another East Asian language. Can’t read anything and can’t use it..Version: 2.0.8
✓ Not EnglishDownloaded. All in non uk languages so deleted straight away.Version: 2.1.1
✓ It downloaded in ChineseUnable to read further as the app downloads in Chinese.Version: 1.9.9
✓ This app would have potential if…The reason I gave this app only one star is because of the option to earn free coins. It’s pretty much non existent. “Giving” us such a small amount of free coins won’t keep people reading the books. Also chapters are way too short, and books have too many chapters (900 or more). Developer would have much better chance to keep users if they gave us an option of earning free coins through watching the add or visiting the website (like chapters do with the diamonds). I will delete the app after I finish the book I am reading right now. It is not worth of time and money to continue to use it. The app would have potential if developers change the way of earning free coins. The way that app is operated now sends the user the message that they are money grabbing app, and that stops people from spending money. I don’t mind buying coins when I see that developers listen their users and make changes, and when they give more free coins. I spent money on Kiss and Chapters. They give way more free coins. I like them better than this app..Version: 2.0.9
✓ CoinlessWas not expecting to have to buy coins to complete a book. Rip off for not explaining this in the app. I can download Kindle Unlimited and get at least 20 books per month for $10!! Disappointing.Version: 2.0.6
✓ What happens in vegasNot a bad story but so so expensive to read. Now I’ve finished it I’m deleting the app as can’t justify the expense of using it again..Version: 2.1.1
✓ What happens in VegasI wish I could pay 1 flat rate for the book instead of having to purchase coins. I got to chapter 8, and I want to continue to read it, but I don’t want to have to purchase coins just to finish it. Nor do I want to “earn” coins which aren’t even enough for a chapter. So I’m probably not going to finish the book..Version: 2.0.3
✓ I can’t find the title of this book they keep advertisingWhy can’t I find the title of this book that they keep advertising it’s so random that they show books but not the title of them.Version: 2.1.5
✓ Great stories but way too expensiveGot sucked into this app reading a good book but then I had to purchase coins to continue reading. Figured what the heck - I purchased a 5,600 set of coins for $40 - It got me through ONE book…ONE. And, while the story was great, there’s a ton of spelling and grammar issues which isn’t expected when you’re paying that much money (unknowingly). I figured out how to get free coins but that will only allow me to read one chapter a day and a chapter is 7 tiny phone-screen sized pages (in the book I’m currently reading). I’ll end up deleting this app soon and finding something more financially valued..Version: 2.0.0
✓ Key Rord: ReadI gave it a star because the ads look like they might have good quality storytelling. However, since I don’t read any Oriental language, I can’t even choose a book to read. I am a voracious reader but I also have to be sure that the book is appropriate to read. I don’t want to have to bleach my brain after reading it! I don’t mind reading books from different cultures, but the key word for me is is read. So when the language becomes appropriate to the buyer (I.e., US is English and Spanish; Canada is English & French), let me know. I’ll check it out again & maybe upgrade the stars!.Version: 2.1.3
✓ Can’t change app to different languageThe app is all in Chinese or Japanese and can’t change it to English to understand or read the books on this app.Version: 2.0.9
✓ Good books, but very expensiveI am enjoying the book, however I find it incredibly expensive. Instead of being able to buy the book, you have to buy coins to unlock chapters. I’ve spent £20 and still not enough to finish the book. I won’t buy any more coins, so it’s a waiting game now. Would be much better if I could buy the book instead..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Good books but too expensiveI’m with the other review that I read. I enjoy the books but I don’t like the fact that I have to buy coins that are used up too quickly reading chapters of one book. Plus, the chapters are short and there are too many for each book. You can buy a book outright 2x’s over or maybe more for the price that you pay for coins to read maybe 5 or less chapters of these books. I’m really disappointed..Version: 2.0.7
✓ DiscussedI have just paid $30.00 for whatever and only managed to read 1 chapter before it stopped. What is going on. wHY. It’s also tooooo expensive to read your books as against other company’s..Version: 1.8.3
✓ Stupidest Reading App EverThis is absolutely the worst reading app I’ve ever used. They need to implement some sort of free chapter unlock feature, aside from the coin the way Galatea has. At this rate of getting maybe 40 coins a day if I’m lucky, I’ll never finish the book I’ve started. I’d NEVER spend money to unlock these chapters because by the end of it, you’d likely spend about $50 on a book that’s probably pretty poorly written and absolutely not worth it at all. You can buy two or three REAL physical books for that amount. This app has the same sort of stories that can be found on Galatea and Wattpad…. Go spend your time over there instead..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Incomplete novelsAll of the novels I’ve read are incomplete. Very poor for the amount of money you spend to read these books!.Version: 2.0.0
✓ Books are good but very priceyI’m reading a book and it is good and it seems like someone has actually proof read it but it is very pricey. 10 chapters = $15 AUD I know there are apps that are even worse but i am not paying $90 for a book (at 1000point for $15). So I will be deleting this app..Version: 2.0.9
✓ This book is a rip off!!!This book is way tooooo expensive. They insist on charging too much for these books and they are not worth the cost. I love to read, but refuse to get caught in the loop of being overcharged and demanding extra money per chapter. I am embarrassed at the amount I paid thus far just to read a few chapters. This is ridiculous and shameful these app companies are taking advantage of readers. I will NEVER read another book from this app or company again!!!.Version: 2.0.9
✓ Trop cher.Il est plus dispendieux que d’acheter des livres papiers. Ne vaut pas la peine.Version: 2.0.9
✓ What Happens in VegasIt was a great story, but just not worth the cost. If you are serious about continuing with these stories, clean up the format and reduce the exorbitant price tag. Over priced: The coins cost way too much. I ended up paying more for a story than I do for most books at Barnes and Noble. Repetitive: midway through the book the last 1-3 sentences were repeated on each page. I hope you listen to your readers because there is potential in your material. Best wishes!.Version: 2.1.1
✓ Changing half way throughI love the books but what I don’t like is half way through the names change to Chinese then I have to figure out who they are referring to all of a sudden. If you translate to English please make sure you fix even the name who do I have to make a make a who section to keep track of the name change and who is who so I am not lost. Also it would be nice to have the choice of switching back and forth from regular reading to audio. It takes me much longer to read your books because I can’t switch to audio when driving. I would read so much more books if I can switch back and forth. Now I can listen in the gym too.Version: 2.0.9
✓ Do not be fooledDo not be fooled into wasting your money. Do not buy coins. The number of coins needed for a complete book is astronomical. I thought I had bought enough for a whole book, the cost was far more than I would have spent for either an electronic book or and ended up being no where near enough for even a quarter… I feel scammed!.Version: 2.1.5
✓ MisleadingWhen downloading it doesn’t say anything about ‘in app purchases’….. that is until you get to the 7th chapter and you have to buy coins to unlock the remainder of the book 😡😡😡.Version: 2.0.0
✓ On the Dotted Line/Price too highStory is decent although there are many grammar and punctuation errors. I got to about the 34th chapter and needed to buy more coins to continue reading. I have already spent more than what the cost of a real new book would cost and am not willing to pay such a high price to stream one book. There are too many other ways to get them at a cheaper price. This app is not for me..Version: 2.0.9
✓ Don’t waste your time with this appGot sucked into a story (ad) on Instagram, got the app to finish the book and you have to pay for every chapter (which makes the book over $50) or wait days to earn enough coin to read the next chapter. Coins are earned by previewing another book, watching an ad, daily check in and continue reading your book (which you can’t because that chapter isn’t unlocked yet) for 2 min. Each chapter cost more and more points which takes days and days to earn. The book while entertaining is basic written and poorly edited, not worth the money or time. You’ve been warned, don’t waste your time and money.Version: 2.0.6
✓ Total disappointmentAPP RECOMMENDATION: -Give option to purchase stories outright, then I will likely come back and read more as a repeat customer. However, I wasn’t able to finish the book (after paying $9.99 for several coins) and I will no longer use this app or read the books associated. REVIEW: The books are entertaining from an amateur-ish perspective which I sometimes don’t mind and I would 100% have paid $9.99 to finish reading the story I started; however, I’m not paying more than $9.99 to read these books. The “coins” I bought were $9.99 and didn’t even get me halfway through the book. So disappointing. Books are decent..app is a ripoff..Version: 2.1.3
✓ Unable to use appThe first book I read was decent, though extremely over priced. I went in today to work on the book I started a day or so ago, and now the entire app is no longer in any language that I speak (it may be in Chinese based on the characters but again I don’t read or speak the language to know for sure). I tried to go to the help section in the Apple App Store, and the page it sends me to is not translating to English either. What a waste!!!.Version: 2.0.6
✓ Not CheapThey should just charge a monthly subscription fee to download this app. You earn daily “coins” that are used to unlock chapters. But after a couple of chapters it no longer let me use the free coins and said I had to make a purchase to read anymore. The book I was reading would be approximately $123 to pay as I read. I could get 4-5 physical books for that price. Not worth it!.Version: 2.0.2
✓ Too expensiveThere needs to be some kind of monthly subscription or a way to purchase a full book. Coins are far to expensive and it doesn’t even get you through a whole book. Spend £40 on a book that I’m not even half way through and it’s still incomplete. I could of bought multiple books with £40 in store it’s actually quite ridiculous and honestly put me off the app. I’ve decided to accumulate coins by check in everyday instead until I can read a nice lengthy bit of a book instead of reading it in stages. Also I don’t understand why different chapters of the same book cost a different amount of coins which is another annoying feature..Version: 2.1.2
✓ The Billionaire’s Surprise TwinsTotal rip off. Paid money to read the book. Got to Chapter 260. Go back next day to continue reading. Take me back to Chapter 217. You don’t get enough coins in one day to open one chapter. Would like my money returned or the chapters I have already paid for to be opened. 😡😡.Version: 2.0.8
✓ After this latest updateAfter I updated I can’t used my 426 coins that I already have and you are forcing me to buy more coins to read the next chapter … With this notice at beginning of the next chapter. 👇😰 “Dear reader Some chapters require payment to unlock and support the author team. Thank you for your continued support! Here is a special gift 🎁 that multiplies your purchased coins by 10 times.” -> 100 x 10 -> 1000 CA$.99 -> 230 x 10 -> 2300 CA$2.99 -> 600 x 10 -> 6000 CA$6.99.Version: 2.1.3
✓ Not worth itI recent purchased the 24 hours of open reading and as soon as that 24 hour period was gone, everything I read disappeared. I can’t find where I left off at, I can’t reread anything or go back to check anything out. I feel like I paid for a product that was immediately taken back. Why couldn’t I have kept the chapters I had read? NOT WORTH THE COST. There are much better apps out there and ones with much better stories..Version: 2.0.3
✓ How much money do you expect lol“Full access” should allow for the whole book not just a chapter, You have to wait almost a week to unlock one chapter unless you decide to pay about $40 for enough currency for just one book..Version: 2.0.6
✓ Tooooooo ExpensiveI loved the story but find it to expensive for reading a book that I would pay between $12-$15 per book on Amazon. If this is how they like to gouge I think I will be deleting the app.Version: 2.0.9
✓ Loved the story disappointed in the appLoved the storyline but when I downloaded the app to try and read the rest of the book the entire app was in a completely different language. I’m pretty disappointed that I’m unable to finish the book..Version: 2.0.3
✓ More information needed for reading your material !Great lead in stories ,Highly disappointing that no information is put at the beginning that there are charges to continue each story. What a sucker punch. I would have been willing to pay a small fee. to read one of your books . No information is even offered as to where to collect the coins that I saw, including how much each particular book cost in coins. I would recommend anyone that starts a story to read the commentaries, don't walk in the door that's only partially open. You'll get a surprise you don't like. Good luck, future readers. BADREY a friend of the owner of this phone. Lent to me..Version: 2.1.1
✓ Horrible appThey get you hooked by letting you read the first handful of chapters and then charge you an unreasonable amount of coins to read each chapter after that. Yes, you can earn coins by watching ads, letting them put pop ups on your phone and then they give you a small amount daily to check-in. I was doing those things and it took me 5 days to get enough points for 1 chapter. Yes, you are seeing that correctly, only 1 chapter! If I want to purchase points to read the book it would cost more than just buying a book at a book store or online. I’m definitely never going to recommend this app and I’m going to get rid of it because it’s basically pointless, unless I’m just wanting to throw money away to finish reading the book that was actually pretty decent but I refuse to spend $40 to finish in a timely manner..Version: 2.0.6
✓ Total Rip OffSave your money. It’s a con Also you can’t leave less than 3 star reviews.Version: 2.0.9
✓ Way way way too expensiveThe book I’m reading charges 19 coins a chapter from Chapter 7 onward. At the start it said the book was still in progress “ongoing” and already has 560+ CHAPTERS, that means it will cost more than 10,000 coins to finish the book and they sell 5,600 coins for AUD 60, so that’s $120 for the whole book!!!! If that is not extortion I don’t know what is. Not even quality writing, just a draw you in storyline. Download a full book from Apple Books or Amazon for anywhere between $2 to $30 … I’m always happy to pay up to $35 for a decent book but $120+ is outright evil. Don’t waste your money on this greedy app!!.Version: 2.0.6
✓ Money pitDon’t buy very expensive way to read a trashy novel.Version: 2.0.9
✓ Can’t read in EnglishI’ve just downloaded the app hoping to read a book but once I go through the initial setup in English, everything is now in Chinese I think and can’t tell in settings if there is a way to change things to English as it’s all in Chinese too..Version: 2.0.6
✓ Expensive chapters!These books are ridiculously expensive! You basically pay points by page not chapters! I am currently reading “He wants me back after the divorce” and per chapter charge was 61 points for 12 pages! The book was good but too expensive and not worth for you to get hook on it! Stick to WebNovel at least it’s cheaper plus you can find some of the novels there for free somewhere else with a little research..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Free? No no… OVERPRICEDThey reel you in with a seductive story and a free app and then just when things are getting good … BAM …. You cannot go any further without spending a ridiculous amount of money on ‘coins’ to read chapters. Could be improved with the opportunity to earn coins in some way..Version: 2.1.5
✓ Auto UnlockThe stories are ok, only problem is I am unable to take away the auto charge feature for coins. I checked to see if there is a way to manually unlock the chapters without using the Auto Unlock feature but can’t seem to find it. At this point, I’ve started several stories and it’s a matter of picking which to read. It would be good to have a way to turn off the Auto Unlock.Version: 2.0.6
✓ NOT Free Reading and WAY over priced!The books I’ve started reading have been pretty good so far, but after about a week and a half of reading basically a chapter a day since that’s all the free coins cover (sometimes 2 days since you earn a very small amount of free coins) I am at a point where I can’t continue reading ANY of the stories I’ve started unless I purchase coins. I’ve started a small handful of different stories that I’d read through the first 6 (free) chapters when I couldn’t unlock a chapter. Most of them have minimal spelling/grammar errors, but one or 2 have had quite a lot and the writing has just been difficult to read/follow. I will likely be deleting this app because I will end up spending stupid amounts of money on books when I could just buy books direct from an author for a fraction of the cost. I would consider keeping it and putting some money into it if I had other options to pay like PayPal or credit card like some of the other reading apps rather than only being able to use Apple Pay in the app..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Not the best app for readingI got sucked in reading a book that was going to great and when I got to chapter 7 I ended up needing coins. I thought the coins would let me finish the book but each chapter requires coins. I didn’t purchase any coins because you only get so many free a day. I know there’s a selection for free ones but when you get sucked into a book you wanna finish it. If each chapter wasn’t so much you maybe be able to read more than one a day. I’m an avid reader so that just doesn’t do it for me. There’s other apps that are free to read the full book and give you the option to pay for the extras if you want instead of being forced to..Version: 2.0.3
✓ Cost me almost $50 to read one book!Ridiculously expensive..Version: 2.0.8
✓ Way too expensiveI’ll prefer wattpad any day because apps like this allow itself to not be great, because why do I have to pay so much money each chapter when I want to relax a read a good book. And the books are really amazing but the pricing is really annoying and makes you don’t wanna read any more so it’s really disappointing this app needs to do better seriously else it won’t get any support at all. And this is coming from a girl who has been reading actual books and using different apps for years so I’m no amateur!! As I said before honestly it has some really great book here but always having to pay makes you no longer wants to read.Version: 2.0.7
✓ Opened the app one day and lost all chapters I had already read!I was reading along and enjoying a book (Chapter 170 ish of 565) when the app closed and now I am stuck back on Chapter 1. I paid for the coins so I don’t really feel like starting back on Chapter 1 and having to purchase them all again. I reached out for support and it did not solve the problem. I am disappointed. It was a good read!.Version: 2.0.7
✓ Bit of a scamPaid for a book, but it doesn’t get you the whole book. $19 and it only got me 3/4 of the book, had to spend another $19 to finish reading. So $40 for not a very good book because they want to ‘incentivize reading’ made me feel very scammed. Audible or kindle a much better deal..Version: 2.0.9
✓ TerribleHad give one star otherwise no stars. It’s just a tease get to reading a book get 6 chapters then after that you have to have certain amount of coins to continue each chapter after chapter 6. It’s not worth my time..Version: 2.0.9
✓ OverpricedFinally found a book that is well written and intriguing!! Down side is that in order to read must buy coins. The coins to read the chapters are more than what you would pay for a hardcover newly released book. For context I’ve already spent over $20 and still not done with the book. I can’t justify spending more than to finish,to me not worth it. Takes forever to accumulate enough to open a chapter. Do better!!.Version: 2.0.2
✓ Great stories, horrible coin priceI downloaded this cause the add stories caught my eye. I was the reading for coins promotion which is crazy but ok. You get a few free chapters then have to pay coins, each chapter cost more and more. The amount of free coins you get isn’t enough to read one chapter. I have another app called Readict and 6 out of the 8 books I was reading is on that app and you only watch ad for the next chapter. So I recommend searching for your books on Readict..Version: 2.1.2
✓ Costs too muchBasically you get to read the first six chapters then they want you to buy coins in order to unlock the rest of the chapters. These are no-name authors and you can spend anywhere from $25 to $40 for a regular size book (25 to 50 chapters) that you would probably buy at a bookstore for about $8. That's astronomical in price if you are reading a lot and not worth the money. Got tricked only once, can’t walk away from a book..Version: 2.0.7
✓ Awesome app but priceyI’ve just joined and genuinely love the book I’m reading but why is it so expensive for chapters? I’ve spent $40 dollars buying coins and I’ve only read 33 chapters and the book so far has 83 chapters😳🤔🤔. Please make this make sense because by the time I finish reading this book I would have had to pay almost $100 give a or take😳😳😳..Version: 2.1.2
✓ Not in EnglishThe app doesn’t come in English so I can’t find anything so haven’t been able to use it..Version: 2.0.6
✓ Great, but expensive.I really enjoyed the story- however, you do have to pay per chapter!!.Version: 2.0.6
✓ This app is a rip offRip off.Version: 2.0.3
✓ Over priced and underwhelming**Do Not Recommend!!!!**So I’ve downloaded a few of these apps already. I think this is like the third app I’ve tried, they are all the same. The ad sucks you in by letting you read the first three or four chapters and once you download it you can not progress until you purchase coins or points to continue. And that is fine I have nothing against it, charge away. But what I do have a problem with is when you have to pay a ridiculous amount to progress through the story. Now I would just like to make this clear, these apps are aimed at allowing amateur writers get out there and do their thing, and that’s so cool, I have nothing against that. The stories are entertaining. But most are long and they’re drawn out. The story I got sucked into has 569 chapters and when I went through and calculated the cost for the coins to read this amateur romance it’s going to cost 237.96$ before taxes and that doesn’t count the 22$ I’ve already payed for points to read the story..Version: 2.0.8
✓ Total scamI saw an ad started reading the story from it. I liked it, so I downloaded the JoyLit app. I ended up purchasing coins to continue reading after the first free chapters. I noticed all the chapters were 18 to 20 coins each and approximately 10 pages long and I thought it’s quite expensive but bearable after paying for about 10 chapters, I noticed that all of the chapters from there on out were, about 50 coins each with the same number of chapters! Ridiculous and so deceptive. it’s too bad because I really like the book but there’s way better reading apps out there that don’t rip you off. This app is actually worse and more expensive than Dreame if that’s even possible..Version: 2.0.9
✓ All in Chinese so unreadable and no way of changing it!All in Chinese so cannot find a way to change to English very disappointing.Version: 2.0.9
✓ Not for meIf you like reading in two to five minute sessions or paying a lot to read bad books, this app is for you. The first time you start a book, the app lets you read for a fairly long stretch. Every time after that, you get a few paragraphs and then you run out of free time and have to use coins. You can SLOWLY earn coins or you can buy them. Not worth it! These books are so poorly edited I can barely stand to read them. It is so easy to get beta readers to check for errors, there’s no excuse. Then, the four or five books I’ve sampled are so clearly thinly disguised ripoffs of popular novels, the “authors” should be sued for plagiarism. Don’t walk, run away!.Version: 2.1.2
✓ Good stories but token are too expensiveA printed book in a shop is £6.00 on average and you can read in full. The app costs £1 to read a chapter. If I wanted to complete the current book I started it would cost me over £30. It’s a shame because there’s some good stories on there. I won’t continue reading..Version: 2.0.9
✓ Excellent but expensiveAs above.Version: 2.0.2
✓ Chapters to short and costs more than buying a book outrightIt’s annoying to be reading and you get one chapter at a time then you either have to wait for two or three to get enough coins or you pay out the nose to read a story that’s okay and written just for a quick sale. I’d rather pay outright for the book and be able to read the story when I want to read. Sorry, not a huge fan and even though I’ll still play around with this app I don’t recommend it..Version: 2.1.5
✓ Not what I expectedI downloaded this app because I saw two ads with the beginning of two stories. They drew me in. They were well written, interesting, and made me really want to read more. So I downloaded it, found the stories and quickly realized that I would never be able to finish them without spending my monthly grocery budget on them. Each chapter was 19 or 20 coins at first, then started changing to 40-50 coins each. There are 500+ chapters in one book! It’s a really good book, and I would love to read a good long book like that; but it’s not worth that much. I could spend $40 on 6,000 coins and still only get through 1/3 of the book. And there isn’t any other way to unlock chapters. At least with Galatea I can wait out the timer for the chapters to unlock. I’m sad that I have already invested myself into these characters, and now I will never know how their story unfolds..Version: 2.0.2
✓ MisleadingI paid for subscription that says all free, but has in app purchases. When attempting to purchases $14.99 - bank appears with $29.99 - & after payment, i still couldn’t continue reading the next chapter. Be aware it’s like scam this one..Version: 2.0.2
✓ Why is it Chinese?I opened the app, put my gender and age, then it was all in Chinese!!! What the hell?!!.Version: 2.0.9
✓ Not good valueCharge too much for novel.Version: 2.1.3
✓ What a scamI thought I was buying the book at $4.99 but I got 500 coins what the heck is that all about. Then after reading 8 chapters it has 40 coins listed it wants me to buy more coins so I can read a little bit more of a book that I already thought I had paid for. If I read this book that way I will be paying more than any book I have ever paid for. There is supposedly 300 some chapters. I think this is a form of fraud. There should be a way of knowing this information before. The book is interesting and I would have liked to finish it but not at that price. I can’t imagine that they have people willing to put up with this type of thing..Version: 2.0.9
✓ Good but tooo expensiveThe story I’m reading is a good read but why does each chapter the coin go up it’s really disappointing can the chapters remain at a decent rate 20 or even 25 coins it’s really hard to keep up plus it will definitely get expensive and I know I will have to discontinue this app and I definitely won’t be able to recommend my friends this is not a smooth read like a regular book I thought this app would bypass the other reading apps but as I said before good book so far but I don’t want to lose interest and go broke reading this story either hopefully someone reads this and lower the cost please and thanks all of us readers would love to support but not go broke.Version: 2.0.2
✓ Scam/Expensive app- not worth itI have finished 1 book total on this app: what happens in Vegas… I had to buy coins and I got through it but the price keeps increasing and gets ridiculously expensive once you buy coins. I purchased over 3000 coins the first time and 2 days ago I purchased 2400, I didn’t even get to finish “He wants me back after the divorce” because it’s ridiculously long and quite expensive, when I attempted to go to the next chapter they said my coins were finished. I bought them like yesterday or 2 days ago max. There are a lot of grammatical errors in this book and it’s almost like some parts jumped ahead or skipped but I am truly disappointed about my coins. I believe I was robbed, there is no way I used 2400 coins in less than 2 days especially when I’m not reading all day. In addition I get the free coins for reading so how is that possible. I have yet to get the free 135 coins during this promo for reading 120 mins, yet I’ve used all the coins I bought? That is so ridiculous. I will never recommend this app. I’m going to find something better. Not worth it..Version: 2.0.7
