I’m deleting this app. You are losing a person who was willing to view the commercials. If enough people take the same action you will lose a consistent revenue stream of the companies who hire you to air their ads. My mother would say that you are cutting your nose off to spite your face! ### 1/5 — Stolen stories *2024-03-01, version 1.0.0* This site is FULL OF STOLEN material from other sites. This site needs to be shut down!!! ### 1/5 — Filled with stolen content *2024-03-01, version 1.0.0* Downloaded after I saw an ad for a book I’ve read elsewhere, I follow that author on instagram and she’s had multiple apps steal her book, I then found another book from a different author I also follow on instagram who has never published on this app. I have no doubt all their other books are stolen too. ### 1/5 — Posts Stolen Novels *2024-02-25, version 1.0.0* Three of my novels were stolen from Wattpad and posted here. I asked them to take them down and they have not. The novels Belle Amour, Flame of Temptation and Back to him are available for free on Wattpad. ### 1/5 — Plagiarism *2024-02-18, version 1.0.0* This app has literally 4 known stories that I am certain is stolen from another author and app. Don’t spend your money and waste your time! ### 1/5 — Goddess’ Blessing *2024-02-02* This is my book.. and this is the fourth app I have found it published on. No one contacted me.. nor asked if I was okay with it. It’s sad you charge people to read my stories, when I publish them for free. Once my copyright has been approved, I will demand it be removed! **Developer response:** We appreciate you sharing your insightful concerns on the copyright dispute. Please get in touch with us via the in-app online support or koalanovel.lab@outlook.com, and we will take the greatest care of this problem. ### 1/5 — Novel *2024-01-30, version 1.0.0* I was reading a novel unlocked two chapters it’s disappeared from my library and I can’t find it anymore ### 3/5 — m walker *2024-01-26* really good stories compared to other apps better english instead of childish english the only thing about it it’s way to expensive to read a book would cost over£100 who would pay that when u can buy for about 10 so will be deleting like i have with all the rest of these apps just not worth it **Developer response:** We appreciate your support.

You changed the name of The Gray Brothers to Forced to live with the hot boys. ### 3/5 — Not able to log out *2023-12-31, version 1.0.0* On my other accounts with other reading apps I am to log out but not your apps. Due to this I am very disappointed as I have another account with you with different books that I cannot now log into to read on my tablet. ### 2/5 — Prince twin alphas student mate *2023-12-25, version 1.0.0* I have bought two of the $24.95 and have only gotten to chapter 38 which means even with the bonus points your chapters are too expensive. I do believe this will be another application that needs to be deleted ### 1/5 — Missing credits *2023-12-16, version 1.0.0* The chapters cost a lot to open which causes you to spend more money. I went to spend 4.99 to get 500 credits and they charged me 10.49. I then went to contact them and try to send an email on two different occasions to get my money back or get the credits and both time the email would not send. ### 1/5 — Copyright infringement material *2023-12-14, version 1.0.0* Selling stories they do not have the rights to. ### 1/5 — Stole My Money *2023-12-07* I purchased coins and got a cannot sync at this time error. I went to follow the steps to try and get my coins but there is no refresh button under the top up option. This is a scam!!! **Developer response:** Please send us a thorough message via the in-app online service or koalanovel.lab@outlook.com, and we will address your issue as quickly as we can. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Update wiped the app *2025-11-13, version 2.0.0* I was loving this app until the recent update it has wiped my app I have lost all coins and reading history ### 1/5 — Not worth getting this app *2024-04-20, version 1.0.0* Not enough coins have Waite at least 3 days to be a Al to read 1 paragraph 15 minutes than Waite another 3 days. I read 90 day and did not receive the coins even though it shoves that I did. It shows 125 coins but it will not open a chapter. There some good stories but it is not worth the effort. There are other sites that we can read on. Very disappointing ### 1/5 — Theft *2024-03-20* This app is stealing from indie authors. Start searching the first few lines of a story and Google it. Most of these authors charge less than what you pay for coins to open chapters. They are stealing from readers by over charging. Look up the title Luna Graced, Marchetti Mafia and After the Injury, all by KRISTIFERANN Thorne. 5.00 or less on her book shop. ### 1/5 — Horrible Service *2024-03-09* I’ve spent over $250 on this app and yet it’s glitches and not letting my pages load. No one will respond. Don’t bother paying if there’s no help **Developer response:** Please provide us with as much information as possible by contacting us at koalanovel.lab@outlook.com or the in-app online support, and we will address your problem as quickly as we can. ### 1/5 — Allowing stolen books to be published on their site *2024-03-02* Have found many of their books are stolen from other authors.
