Joyread-Fantasy Novel 17+

Super expensive and inconsiderate

Let me start of by saying that the book I’ve been reading is actually very interesting and I’ve enjoyed it. Apart from that, this app is too expensive. Chapters are about a page and a half of a regular book. Your coins are being used every chapter and before you’ve realized it you’ve ran out of coins on just a few chapters. They seem to be adding chapters to the story as you’re reading to make you spend more and extend the story. Before I started the story of my choice I noticed it was 240 something chapters. I’ve paid so much money just to reach 300 something and now the last chapter is “400+”. Insane !!!!! I’ve spent too much money on trying to finish this story because I do like it but they’re really taking advantage of you allow them. If you don’t mind, you’ll be paying about 200 or more on just 1 story. Please be mindful of this before you even get yourself involved. Just looking out for you and your funds 💕

You may be tempted, but DO NOT download this app!

I started reading a book that was engaging and immediately drew me in. I’m an avid reader and quickly went through the first chapter (ridiculously short chapters that are about 2 pages worth of material in a regular book). Unfortunately, I extremely disappointed to find that this “free app” is nothing more than a money making scheme! You are required to purchase coins or pearls I order to keep reading one chapter at a time. The ridiculously short chapters are all pay as you go after chapter 15 and the books are over 3500 chapters long. If you fall for the scam you’ll end paying over $200 for a single book! The complaint I had went nowhere and it’s a simple recommendation to utilize their free reading options (laughable). They have the same stock answer for every complaint. If you are person who likes to read very little over a great length of time and pay insane amounts of money for a book, this ap is for you! If you love a great story and enjoy paying 20$ and reading a book cover to cover once you start, DO NOT get this app!!! Your experience will be to the contrary! WORST APP EVER!!! Don’t waste your time getting hooked on a story you won’t get to finish! If there was an option to not give any stars in this rating I would. 1 is the lowest so that’s what I give!

$600+ for a single book!

Too expensive. I spent 20 dollars to get about 80 chapters into a 1800+ chapter book. I calculated that I would have to spend hundreds of dollars to finish it! About $650 if I kept buying the $4.99 worth of coins, like I had been. They must be aware that no one in their right mind can afford to spend hundreds on a book, they are probably making a fortune off people buying a few coins, realizing how expensive it is and deleting the app. Of course they advertise their expensive books the most. It doesn’t matter if they have some free books, the fact that the charge hundreds for their paying books is insane! And then they have the nerve to suggest you give gifts to the author, as if they aren’t the ones assigning expensive price tags to their work! If the author is actually worth hundreds per read, then they don’t need gifts, though I wouldn’t be surprised if the authors make a cent for every million they make. I have googled and tried to find anyway to earn chapters for free. And no luck, if it is possible, they are keeping it as inconspicuous as possible. Just read the replies to negative reviews and see how shameless this app is, they know they are ripping readers off, and they have the nerve to act like they’re a charity for readers.
