Could be better
I found this through Facebook. I used to buy and read books all the time and the when a lot of then went digital and I got an iPad. Being me eventually I got tired of it and found games and the crafting again in my down time. But I was checking out my Facebook for the day and there was what I thought was an excerpt of this book “The Divorced Billionaires “ and it turns out to be several chapters and I was hooked! And then all of the sudden, one day as I finished a chapter and was going to the next one, I got stopped and had to have coins or bonus points to read more. To be honest, I was not to happy about it at first. For about 5 chapters or more I have been getting bonus points to keep reading as I am not done with this boo yet. But once you’re hooked on a story you have to see it through to the end. So, at this point I have paid for some coins, but have gone back to the bonus points since I don’t really have the funds right now to buy more coins. If you are offering a whole book, then I think you should at least offer a price to buy the download outright like other apps. I think the coins and bonus is great if you are just a lookielou, but not fir the serious reader. I’ll keep doing the bonuses until I finish the current book because I think it’s really good, but I will probably read only the free chapters after that unless another book truly peaks my interest.Show lessHarleychell
Review on App
I thoroughly like the app. The books that are by self published (to the app/website) are pretty good. I’m currently deep into one about a billionaire heiress. I do my best to earn points and have even bought chapters of the book to read. An issue I have encountered is I don’t get all of the chapters I spent coins on to read. The coins needed for each chapter also variates. I think the app or website, whichever it is, needs some updating in order to work at a better capacity for its readers and authors. It’s also odd to have to pay for each chapter individually or in a bundle as opposed to the whole book or a half of the book. Essentially to pay for one book you’d be spending well over $100, which as time goes on I am starting to lose the enthusiasm because I am not made of money, thus I think it’s unreasonable. There should be better or more ways to earn coins. I’ve also found that I complete the tasks to earn points (this being one of them) and still end up not getting the points. Like double check-in, referring a friend through my download link and so on. I think there shouldn’t be a limit in videos to watch a day to earn points. Other than that, I am all for the app and look forward to soon publishing work on it.Show lessNaomi.?
Terrible Stories, don’t waste your money
Way more expensive than real books and written by complete amateurs…. Don’t waste your time or money. These books were obviously never edited, the authors have horrible writing styles, have done no research for their books, terrible grammar, incomplete ideas and some of the stories just never end they just ramble on and on with no basic writing 101. It’s like they wrote a rough draft on a whim and never read what they’ve written. A story needs a beginning, build up, climax and ending. True writers spend years pouring over and over their books to get everything right, yet these books were like high school students who just sat down and told a story with no thought process or structure. Characters are unbelievable, story lines stupid, and seem to be written by teenagers… I will correct that, I learned more about writing in 9th grade creative writing class then these authors have ever seen. These people need to take a class in basic writing and story telling. Go to a book store and spend a fraction of the money to buy a real book, edited and published by a reputable company. Each chapter is like 3-4 pages has thousands of chapters and it costs money every chapter… by the time you read the very poorly written whole thing you’ve spent hundreds of dollars for a terrible story. I’ve probably spent more time and thought on this review than these authors spent on their entire story, and I wouldn’t call it a book.Show lessNicoleBaucum
Customer Service Curves You
I actually really enjoy this app and the books on here are great. I love the setting options of the reading as well. One HUGE flaw. The online website reading and audio dilemma.
I reached out to customer service multiple times because you can’t read ANY book online (GoodNovel website) after chapter 8 when logging into your account. Even if you pay for the chapters after chapter 8 it forces you to read on the app instead of allowing you to read your PAID book online. Which is so wrong. Not all the books on the app have an audio feature so i use Speechify to read to me. GoodNovel blocks any outside audio reading application from working on their own app. So i tried logging in online as an alternative so my app can read to me. It works until i hit chapter 9. I try to open paid chapters online after chapter 8 (AKA chapter 9 and beyond) and it won’t let me read AT ALL after the first paragraph. It cuts you off and forces you to open the app. So frustrating!! I’m beginning to purchase the Kindle books instead of using the app because of this problem. Which costs you money GoodNovel. When i tried messaging customer service they tell me to give them more information. Which i did originally?? and then silence. Pls consider giving your customers the chapters we paid for online.Show lessamandakauai
Great stories to read
I had been a reader since childhood but has stopped when I was already working. It was now in my senior years that the passion for reading came back. I happen to browse at this website and started reading when his eyes opened. I like how it was written but the idea of buying coins that will give you some chapters to go on reading and then buy another set of coins and so on just don't encourage me. For just one book or novel, this will cost the reader so much just to finish reading the book. More expensive than buying a book at the store or on line per se. I would rather suggest to put a price on each book published so as the reader would know if she would want to buy and start reading. Another idea is by subscription. If a reader will subscribe to your website it will entitle her/him to read all the books available for a certain period of time, say a year or maybe a lifetime subscriber. Payment for subscription will be bi annually so as to give the reader the chance to continue or just avail of it for just 6 months if she is not interested anymore. Subscription price must be affordable so as to entice a lot of readers. While this your own method of charging the reader for some chapters will only discourage the reader to continue reading. I for one can sacrifice not finishing reading the book if the charges is too much! For the reader doesn't have any idea how much will cost her in finishing reading the book.Show lessBIA?!$&8!)$(,&&
Love this app
I really enjoyed this book when I first started reading it. In the beginning, I couldn't put my phone down. Every free moment I had, I would sneak a few minutes of reading. Then things changed a bit. The author made a change to the female protagonist. Once Avery became a mother, the entire story changed. Her twins were doing things at 4 years old that were really unrealistic. Such as taking taxis alone, hacking into high tech firewall systems, deciding on their own when to leave school or stay home from school. These are just a few of the unrealistic scenarios that began to turn me off. Then there is the issue of the story turning I to a never ending book. I read on to find comments from other readers that feel the same. Readers feel that the book is costing to much to continue on reading the story. It's a little ridiculous that l'm reading a book that has cost me $100 or more to continue unlocking chapters with no end in site. Although I'm still reading "When his eyes Opened" because of course I'm very invested in getting to the end, my patience will soon be running out. I'm disappointed that a good quality story has turned into a very badly edited piece of trash. The app has many good stories and titles. I hope not all are like this one.Show lesslightbulb8888

Review for GoodNovel : when his eyes opened
Overall, the app is pretty cool I love the stories getting inside on the different characters and the excitement of knowing what’s going to happen. I do like how you get to checking and get extra coins so that you can have access to more stories. I’m currently right now reading when his eyes opened . So in love with this story, and right now, I’m on the part of Avery, talking to Elliot about her previous “ sex, tape “and the fact that he didn’t believe her and he let his friends change his judgment of how he feels about her and I’m just over the Hills this story. I can’t wait to read what happens next for them . And finding out is Nora going to get her justice that she deserves!😏 I do wish that you guys were just upload the whole freaking book instead of me having to spend a lot of money! I’m better off, just purchasing the whole book at Barnes & Noble. Or can I just get a subscription so that I can just go ahead and finish the stories? Now so that way my blood pressure can stay down because I’m always on edge waiting for the next chapter to come out. Your truly Tara.Show lessLove bug313
GOOD NOVEL
Here is my honest review about this app. I got hooked on the book When His Eyes Opened on Facebook. It said the book was free however IT IS NOT FREE! You are allowed to read so many chapters for free but then you have to pay for more as they are locked until you pay for more. Plus there are so many chapters. I am on chapter 1538 out of (at last update) 1895. You can earn bonuses by logging in daily, logging into the website daily, reading for 15 and 30 minutes a day. I have already spent over $120 for chapters and am at a stopping point again. The chapters are locked if you do not have enough “coins or bonuses” to continue. I tried other sites that have the book for free but some of the characters name changed and was very confusing. DO NOT GET SUCKED IN! The chapters are technically approximately 1 page long (if read anywhere other than on your phone) and they keep adding chapters so that now this book is at chapter 2330 (I think, I’ve lost track). I cannot afford to spend anymore money buying coins to be able to read this book. I have now spent over $200 and I don’t think I will ever get to the end of this book. I WILL NOT PAY for another round of coins. I probably could have bought this book outright for 1/8 of what I have paid fur coins. I’ll log in daily to get the login bonuses and use them. If and when I do finish this book (it may take me a year)I will delete the app. I REPEAT DO NOT GET SUCKED IN UNLESS YOU HAVE MONEY TO WASTE.🤬🤬🤬🤬Show lessvrybsymom2
Great books, high price
The books are good, I just wish I wasn’t paying 100$+ for one book in the long run. Especially if the book happened to get published that can be bought for 10-20$. Sometimes books can’t be found anywhere else because they aren’t being printed anymore or the author only writes on this app now. It’s all too expensive, reading is a hobby, supposed to be a peaceful activity but it’s stressful when you find a really good book and this app is asking for over 100$ worth of credits to read the book. The opportunities to get free credits aren’t that great because some books require 11,000 credits to read and the opportunities are only giving 3-15 credits for an offer. That’s not enough for a chapter alone sometimes. You spend more time trying to earn credits if you don’t have money to purchase than you do reading. Then to get the rewards for this task (writing a review) you have to give them 5 stars. In reality I would give 1 star because the price and the fact that they are taking away my honest opinion as a reader for rates in the App Store. But to get bonus that I need to read because I can’t afford to pay 100$ every book I find I have to give 5 stars.Show lessDasiaD0125
