### 5/5 — My Commute Got Better

*2026-08-15, version 1.1.2*

The overall design is simple enough that the stories remain the main attraction. For casual daily reading, the experience has been consistently pleasant. There is a warm, familiar rhythm to choosing a book here and slipping back into my place.

### 1/5 — Getting charged $20 3 times a day for services I’m not using

*2026-08-09, version 1.1.1*

I hate I didn’t read review from past user.  I signed up on site for a one time read and now am getting charged 3 times a day on my card for approx $60.  Tried emailing company for response and no action taken.  All this inconvenience to me and my finances will make me never to use this site again

### 1/5 — Scam to cancel

*2026-08-09, version 1.1.1*

Please do not subscribe in any way possible. Impossible to cancel. I did a 0.99 for a one day pass and for months have been billed thru PayPal. Did numerous cancels through every means possible and for the life of me them and PayPal have robbed me of hundred of dollars. Amex refunded the money back to the card with a fraud alert and then PayPal stated debiting from my bank account 2.99 per day. It’s tedious to dispute thru PayPal each charge individually. I can’t have any payment accounts linked to PayPal because these people don’t stop. I have written everyone…

### 1/5 — A waste

*2026-08-02, version 1.1.1*

Most of these stories are terrible. They change completely from one chapter to the next. Don’t waste your money.

### 2/5 — Poorly written AI slop

*2026-08-02, version 1.1.1*

The stories are so terrible, the payment plans are so expensive. Not worth the time or money at all

### 2/5 — Missing Titles

*2026-07-31, version 1.1.1*

Lots of preview adds to get you hooked but 50% of them don’t come up in the app when you search for the title in the app.

### 1/5 — Scam

*2026-07-21, version 1.1.1*

Do not under any circumstances subscribe or purchase coins from this service. I never subscribed to Rocnovel but started getting 20$ a day charges. Could find no information about it. Had to file chargebacks with my credit card and then had a new card with a different account number to stop these scammers. There is no way to cancel in the app or through the website. There’s only an email, and you get no response. Stay far away from this app and its website.

### 1/5 — What’s right with RocNovel? NOTHING!!!!

*2026-07-17, version 1.1.1*

As many others have said this app has nothing going for it! I don’t even bother reading the beginning parts of books that are ads on another app anymore because I know it’ll lead to nothing but trouble. As others have mentioned they have multiple platforms so they can bleed you dry. There’s the app but you can’t find the advertised story you saw on there, nope you can only get to it by clicking the link which takes you to one of MANY rocNovel websites. If you come across another story that looks good, and you try searching the app and can’t find it, then you try searching the website you’ve already opened and you can’t find it there either because again this other book requires its own website too. Then each website requires you to sign away your bank account to read a few chapters. I did get some of my money back on a dispute I filled through PayPal and they told me how to stop a subscription, but yeah they charged me twice each day for the next two days’ of subscriptions even though it was supposed to be a daily thing. So basically their library is not consistent across the app and multiple websites that they have set up because they want you to pay money on subscriptions for each one. I finally found two websites that allowed me to pay just one sum to read a book and while the beginning of the two books I chose to do this with were interesting in the ad, they seriously fell short once I got into them. They were so very boring it was ridiculous. One I went ahead and paid the one day subscription but as soon as it was paid I unlinked the site from my account so they couldn’t charge me again. I finished what ended up being a dull story in the long run and then started another one. The dialogue was short with no actual sentences. It was mind numbingly boring. So no matter how interesting the beginning may look in the ad, don’t bother because even if you manage somehow to throw away your bank account on the multiple platforms that all require money independently of each other, more than likely the rest of the story will be so dull you’ll wonder why they decided to make you pay for your own torture.

### 1/5 — Paid for 1 Day Membership but received only about 15 hours worth before expiring.

*2026-07-12, version 1.1.1*

Scam, Fraud, take your pick!

### 1/5 — Incredibly expensive

*2026-07-08, version 1.1.1*

Has some good stories but if you only want to read 1 or 2 books it costs almost $100 a book. Not a good deal
