I wish they had a way to make more points so you can read longer. I hate when apps do this. They hook you then don’t give you a way to keep reading without breaking the bank. ### 4/5 — Ehh *2026-06-09, version 3.4.8* I like it so far ### 3/5 — App review *2026-02-16* App is easy to use and find categories **Developer response:** It is! Why the low rating though? ;) ### 4/5 — The last drop *2026-02-14* Great book, a bit repetitive and should have been proofed better. ### 5/5 — Dare to burn *2026-02-09, version 3.2.0* So far so good ### 5/5 — Great book *2026-02-04* Big sky alpha has me in a chokehold ### 5/5 — Yes *2026-02-02, version 3.2.0* Yes! ### 5/5 — Great *2026-02-01, version 3.2.0* Good ap amazing stories ### 5/5 — Where veins become shackles *2026-01-30* This story is so good and addictive.

We hear you on the price. One thing worth knowing: our novels are exclusive and aren’t published anywhere else. We also believe authors should be fairly compensated for their work — they have families to support, and your support goes directly toward that. Hope you keep enjoying the reads! ### 1/5 — . *2026-05-29* The reward system is stingy **Developer response:** Stingy is a strong word… we prefer ‘building anticipation.’ 😅 Thanks for reading — we hope the stories themselves keep you hooked! ### 1/5 — Review *2025-12-31* I’m just writing this to earn the coins but yeah it was good when you could skip down to 1 hour now can’t do that such a shame no ads to watch to read the next chapter I would have given a solid 5 if there was ads to get to the next chapter. Update just lost ye stars because I was ahead in chapters and just went back to read more I was back to the beginning of the book you have serious issues with this app I may delete it if this isn’t fixed soon 😔 **Developer response:** We apologize for the delayed response! We understand the frustration, and we appreciate you sharing your concerns. However, our authors are real people trying to make a living from their craft. Unfortunately, ads simply don’t generate enough revenue to fairly compensate them for their hard work. Supporting them through purchases helps ensure they can keep writing the stories you love. Regarding the technical issue with losing your progress — that’s definitely not supposed to happen! Please reach out to us at support@novelia.app referencing this review so we can investigate and get this sorted out for you right away. ### 1/5 — Hard to find account details and a contact *2025-08-18* Poorly written “novels” that feel a if they had been translated by AI. Lousy grammar, erroneous vocabulary, spelling mistakes, lack of editing …. Also, watch out: I cancelled the “subscription” and got charged again regardless of this cancellation. There is no contact us to be found on the app!! **Developer response:** Hi Noelle1218, Thank you for your feedback. Regarding the subscription, Apple manages all cancellations directly through your Apple ID settings - we've just sent you another instruction email to help with this process. We work with professional editors, so I'd appreciate knowing which specific novel had quality issues so we can investigate. Would you be so kind to tell us which specific novel you were refering to by sending an email to support@novelia.app ? Best regards, The Novelia Team ### 2/5 — Nice app but to expensive *2026-02-28* I really like the books I have started reading but I despise the 6 hr wait time between chapters. Plus the chapters are not even that long. I wouldn’t mind having an option to watch ads to unlock chapters. The app still makes money and the reader doesn’t have to pay for chapters. **Developer response:** Hi Crystal! Thank you so much for the kind words about the books — we're so glad you're enjoying them! 🦊 We really do hear you on the wait times, and we appreciate you sharing the ad idea too. Here's the thing though: our authors are real people with real bills, mortgages, and little ones to feed — and ad revenue, honestly, just doesn't come close to covering that. We've seen the numbers, and we'd never feel right asking our writers to pour their hearts into these stories in exchange for pennies per read. We genuinely believe storytellers deserve to be compensated like human beings. The good news is there are two ways to skip the wait entirely: you can unlock individual chapters directly, or — if you're binge-reading like it sounds like you might be 😄 — our membership is probably the better deal. Unlimited reading, no wait times, and every coin goes straight to supporting the authors you love. We hope you'll stick around — there are so many more stories waiting for you! 💕 ### 2/5 — Nice app but to expensive *2026-02-14* I really like the books I have started reading but I despise the 6 hr wait time between chapters. Plus the chapters are not even that long. I wouldn’t mind having an option to watch ads to unlock chapters. The app still makes money and the reader doesn’t have to pay for chapters. ### 2/5 — Just like other “free read” apps. *2026-01-30* Great books. But they really want you to pay the subscription. Not many ways to get “coins”. Takes 5hrs to unlock a chapter of you don’t have enough coins. **Developer response:** Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad you’re enjoying the books! You’re right that we offer both coin purchases and subscriptions as options. We know waiting for chapters can be frustrating. Our authors pour their hearts into creating the stories you love, and fair compensation allows them to support their families and continue writing the books that bring you joy. We believe in paying writers what their work is worth, which is why we limit free coin opportunities. Unlike other apps, all our novels are exclusive — you won’t find them published anywhere else. We appreciate you giving our app a try, and we hope you’ll consider supporting the authors whose work you enjoy through a subscription or coin purchase.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ That said, drop us a line at support@novelia.app referencing this review— our fox may have something for you! 🦊 ### 3/5 — Books *2026-02-19, version 3.3.0* I love this app , good novels and no messed up writing ! ### 3/5 — Good novels *2026-02-16* I like the novels in this app but it’s expensive. They need another option for purchase. Like a weekly or even monthly subscription. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback — glad you’re into our novels! Good news: we actually do have subscription options. There’s an annual plan with unlimited reading, plus weekly and monthly subs that get you coins. You can find them in the app’s settings screen by tapping on your coin balance. Any questions, just reach us at support@novelia.app. Happy reading! ### 3/5 — Locked my book *2026-02-16* I only have read on book on this app. I purchased coins and two days later all the chapters were relocked **Developer response:** Hi, thanks for flagging this — and sorry for the headache! Chapters definitely shouldn’t re-lock after you’ve purchased coins, so something went wrong on our end. Could you shoot us an email at support@novelia.app? We’ll get your access sorted out and make sure your coins are where they should be. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Amazing and very nice looking *2026-07-28* I got unlimited subscription and it was the best decision ever. Finally, no waiting, and every chapter is free. I finished three novels in a week - I haven't read like this since I was a teenager! – Megan Miller ### 5/5 — Love reading *2026-06-24* My favorite past times is reading. If I find a story that I enjoy, I feel like I get absorbed into the story you get pulled into it so that’s why when I read any of your stories I very much enjoy. ### 5/5 — Dare to burn *2026-06-02, version 3.4.8* Great story ### 5/5 — Novelia *2026-04-25, version 3.4.5* Great creative writing and great execution! ### 5/5 — Love it! *2026-03-18* I’m really liking this app!
