HeyNovel for Negative User Reviews

✓ Steal booksThey take books from other platforms and charge you to read each chapter..Merd:(Version: 1.2.3

✓ Just wish I didn’t have to wait to readI like the stories that I’ve read so far. I just don’t like the idea of paying per chapter. Why is that? I’m not spending hundreds of dollars to read one book. I have kindle unlimited for a reason. I just wish that I could actually read the book without all of the extra stuff. Good stories but otherwise I will pass..QpfncoakVersion: 1.1.0

✓ Rip offI purchased the 9.99 tip off and was charged 20 more dollars. Complete rip off. Definitely will not purchase anything ever again. And will most likely delete app..CandiceDawn90Version: 1.1.0

✓ Copyright issueStay clear!! Book read was copied from another author, and charging you every few chapters to continue reading..HELP PLLZVersion: 1.0.3

✓ Loved this app until I bought coinsLoved the stories on this app at first and that you got 300 free coins everyday. I decided to treat myself one day and top up for $4.99. As soon as I bought coins it took my 30 free ads to 5 ads a day and I no longer get the 3-5 free adds I used to get to continue reading a few chapters. Total rip off. How do you get more for free before you’re spending your money to read? The ads should stay indefinitely. Makes me not even want to use the app anymore..AD9910Version: 1.2.3

✓ Good stories, too expensiveI’m loving the story I’m reading, but I’ve already spent $40 and I’m only on chapter 15 of the second book of the story. There’s no unlimited or bulk options for subscriptions. Each chapter is 30 coins and you only earn 5-10 from ads or “challenges”..NurseShustekVersion: 1.3.0

✓ Sick of short chaptersThis app is just as bad as any others course it’s owned by China too sadly which loves scamming for money!!! Greedy people smh. Wish this app was worth keeping but I guess not since it’s not free or worth putting money to. I’ll just buy real books off kindle at least their bought and paid in one purchase.AyamieLina29Version: 1.0.8

✓ ExpensiveI love the books but they are super long and to expensive!! I would recommend to charge a subscription fee for the app or a certain amount for the book..KBgurlVersion: 1.1.0

✓ System errorI updated the app a week ago just for it not to work anymore… says system error and now can’t access anything on it.Unlocking charactersVersion: 1.0.8

✓ System errorWorked great till yesterday when it stopped progressing through the story. Shows “System Error” and now i cant read further despite having purchased more time ( right before it froze)..IrishyidVersion: 1.0.3

✓ You end up overpayingThis app has great stories by promising authors The issue is the outlandish need for an exorbitant amount of coins to read one book You end up paying coffee table book prices of $30-$40 to read a normal paperback size book You could pay much less buying from a brick and mortar bookstore than reading off of this app Heck even an audio book order is cheaper I really hope the authors get some of these enormous profits Huge rippoff.PartybrizVersion: 1.2.3

✓ Overpriced for underwhelming stories.I’m sorry, but $20+ for a poorly edited book filled with spelling and grammatical errors? There’s enough typos to make your head spin and the chapters are ridiculously short. Not to mention the chapters get more expensive the more you read. I understand wanting to pay the writers, but I don’t even pay that much for a professionally published novel..Ciel E.Version: 1.0.4

✓ Another costly book appSo far, I’ve read a portion of a book. Very good story, even with the grammatical and spelling errors. However, this is yet another app that’s going to cost me $100+ to read a single book. I spent $4.99 on coins after I downloaded the app. However, this only got me to chapter 33. If I want to purchase the entire book (527 chapters), it will cost me an additional $99.99. Sure, you can watch a few ads to get additional coupons. But this is only going to get you maybe 2-3 more chapters. When I read a book, I want to continue reading it. Not read 2-3 chapters per day. Especially with how short these chapters are. So I will likely delete this one too, and stick with actual books. So sad..Happy this is out thereVersion: 1.3.0
