Super annoying. After this book I will be deleting the app because of this. ### 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”. ### 4/5 — Good morning I hope your *2023-12-16* I’m not sure what ### 4/5 — Good and safe and easy *2023-12-16* I don’t know if you ### 4/5 — How much are your *2023-12-14* I’m not going anywhere else ### 4/5 — Good books *2023-12-13* I love reading these books! Only downfall is having to pay for credits on apps like this. Because I read a lot and a book doesn’t cost what the credits do by the time you finish reading it. But I love how you can earn coupons so realistically on this app! ### 4/5 — Just let you have some *2023-12-10* Video is not so bad ### 4/5 — Why iPhone user don’t get ad watches to *2023-11-25, version 1.1.0* Unlock next chapter like android user.. and 30 ad watch only 3 for Moore coupons why different ### 2/5 — Just wish I didn’t have to wait to read *2023-10-10* I 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. ### 5/5 — On par with other sites *2023-08-21, version 1.0.8* Same as other reading apps. Chapters so far so not range I’m price and are pretty expensive. Large variety available tho ### 5/5 — I’m going back home *2023-08-01* Can I be a mom or ### 5/5 — Yeah but it’s like *2023-08-01* Find out how many of ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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 ### 1/5 — Steal books *2023-12-14, version 1.2.3* They take books from other platforms and charge you to read each chapter. ### 1/5 — Rip off *2023-10-03* I 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. ### 1/5 — Sick of short chapters *2023-08-23* This 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 ### 1/5 — System error *2023-08-13* I updated the app a week ago just for it not to work anymore… says system error and now can’t access anything on it **Developer response:** Hi, lovely user, thank you for rating us! Could you please send us the screenshot of the problem you mentioned through the FEEDBACK in the APP? Or contact us at support@noveltells.net. This will help us solve your problems faster. Very sorry for any inconvenience caused to you. Thank you for your understanding and support! ### 1/5 — Overpriced for underwhelming stories. *2023-07-13* 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. ### 1/5 — Copyright issue *2023-04-23, version 1.0.3* Stay clear!! Book read was copied from another author, and charging you every few chapters to continue reading. ### 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. ### 2/5 — Expensive *2023-10-22* I 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. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — What To Say Honestly *2026-05-31* Thought app was great with being able to watch a few ads to unlock chapters. 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. ### 5/5 — Coins pls *2024-02-15, version 1.3.0* Coins ### 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 ### 5/5 — Good books super expensive *2023-12-13* I wish there was as a way to watch ads or that it wasn’t so expensive to read ### 5/5 — Rescued By The Alpha *2023-12-07* Good writing so far. ### 5/5 — Book *2023-11-13, version 1.1.0* Amazing ### 5/5 — app *2023-10-20* great books and keeps you busy and interesting. ### 5/5 — The stories draw you in *2023-09-23* …just wish it were cheaper --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
