But then they limit you to two chapters on ad watching a day. Would be better if you could just watch the ads instead of having to top up and pay for so many coins to continue unlocking the stories… or should have the option to pay for the whole story in one go. Not charge astronomical amounts for crumbs of a story. So… if I could rate it. 1 STAR. ### 5/5 — It’s a good app and I love it. *2024-12-31* I didn’t think it was going to be a good app but when I opened it and started readying some good books I can’t stop reading them. ### 3/5 — Why A Reading Limit?! *2024-10-18* Love the book I’m reading but only allowed to read a few chapters a day. Super annoying. After this book I will be deleting the app because of this. ### 5/5 — Coins pls *2024-02-15, version 1.3.0* Coins ### 2/5 — Another costly book app *2024-01-24, version 1.3.0* So 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. ### 3/5 — Good stories, too expensive *2023-12-29* I’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”. ### 1/5 — Loved this app until I bought coins *2023-12-27* Loved 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. ### 1/5 — You end up overpaying *2023-12-22* This 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 ### 5/5 — Great app! *2023-12-20, version 1.2.3* Love this app! ### 5/5 — Review *2023-12-18, version 1.2.3* Nice app ## Frequently asked questions about HeyNovel ### What kind of books can I find on this app?
