### 5/5 — It’s the best

*2026-06-09, version 6.3.0.1085*

The best ebook

### 3/5 — No Way! You Are Mine

*2026-03-10*

I rate this three stars even though it has a great storyline.   The problems are with the editing. Around chapter 523 the editing just gets all wacky with a mixed use of pronouns, adjectives, and the name of the characters get switched around often. Also from 720 to 867 there are no chapters they’re completely gone. The book says it’s completed and that there is 939 chapters but there’s only 924 chapters and from 523 till 700 most of the chapters are duplicated giving you way less that 924 chapters.  basically the book just needs to be cleaned up and it will be a great read

### 2/5 — No longer available

*2026-02-13*

I was reading and then nothing available. 
Deleted app and reinstalled but won’t allow a free download?

### 5/5 — Love them stories

*2026-01-29*

I love listening to each new story.

### 3/5 — No books at all

*2026-01-26*

I used to read books here, but suddenly, there is nothing at all. I have refreshed, uninstalled and reinstalled and just nothing. Same on my Android app. Is the app no longer functional?

### 1/5 — Unavailability of novels

*2026-01-20*

I don’t like the fact that you guys removed all the interesting stories and made them unavailable! I see no reason at all, Novel up is becoming to boring because you no longer suggest interesting new series or good novels, you removed all the interesting novels and made them unavailable and then some novels are not even complete. 
This is not fair at all!

### 4/5 — Rewards

*2026-01-08*

I can’t afford to buy chapters & I rely on the rewards. For someone it will not let me watch adds to get the rewards. Please fix or I’ll have to delete & find somewhere else to find novels to read.

### 3/5 — Don’t like new update

*2025-12-29*

The new update is horrible it won’t let you watch any videos for rewards and other things. Half the books have everything messed up in them like guys being women, women being guys. Don’t get me started on the have the names that are all mixed up.

### 1/5 — Daily bonus and rewards don’t work

*2025-10-31*

I’ve contacted them with no response, no fix, nothing for the past 2-3 weeks

### 1/5 — Rewards redemption

*2025-10-18*

Terrible very poor, when you try to earn rewards it will not play the ad, I refuse to pay money. Very disheartening.
