.
very good app for reading stories. Need some updation like it should be based on subscriptions not on coins basis.
Lack availability
In the description it says read anytime anywhere. You get new chapters every day. THAT IS A LIE. I read the chapter I have and wait for a couple days so I can have more to read. When I come back there are NOT any new chapters to read. The book I started reading has over 1000 chapters to read and at the pace I receive a new chapter it will be five years before I will be able to finish reading the book.
Issue with chapters
I’m loving the stories. I have problem with the end of the chapters. They keep ending before I get to the last paragraph.
Can’t write a novel
I’m an author I tried to create a novel on this platform but I simply can’t it’s not working. Also the search feature in the home and explore section is also not working I can’t search any novel, I can only pick from what is visible in home.
Greedy app with bugs
This app has good stories which I was enjoying. It definitely has a bug and doesn’t let you finish a chapter before jumping to the next so a lot of unnecessary back and forth which is frustrating . But now it has started pop up ads which interrupt constantly every few seconds and make reading very frustrating. It already had other ads. The owners have gotten greedy and are ruining their own app.
Alpha’s Deal
Wonderful read
Unusable
The app literally won’t let me use it. When I attempt to make an account, it says “Unauthorized Request”. When I attempt to search a book, “Unauthorized Request.” I try to create an account using Apple ID, but it acts like I created an account, but never actually creates the account. So, cool deal. Pocket Novel lost a user today.
Web preferences
It’s hard to use on app and I wish the web operated without restrictions since I found the web better experience.
Error
I have read 1000+ chapters but now it is showing error . What to do???
Good Reads
Good books
Too expensive
The books are decent, however the prices are absurd. Way too expensive. I know all the developers of these apps always defend themselves by saying they have to pay their writers. I understand that, but let’s face it, these books are not professionally written, and most are not professionally edited. They’re not worth the over $100 per book they end up being. It’s just not worth it. Even best sellers by professional authors don’t cost anywhere near that much, so please developers save the nonsense about having to pay your authors. They don’t need that much. Making their chapters so short that they have over 100 chapters for you to read and spend hard earned money on is absurd. I deleted it.
All
I have this app on my iPhone and was enjoying it in spite of the fact that it jumps to the next page before I finish the first one. I tried to download it to my iPad because of my eyesight but it will not load. I have tried several times and had to give up. This is very disappointing. If it weren’t for that, I would give it at least a 4 or possibly 5.
Not working
I was happy with this app until it stopped working. I am partially through the SS one novel of a three book set. Now when I try to access the novel, I get the message “some error occurred.” I have tried shutting it down and reopening without success. I don’t want to switch to the FM option b/c I don’t like to be read to. If this isn’t fixed soon, I’ll need to switch to another book app.
Rekindled
Very good so far.
DON’T DOWNLOAD - IT IS A TRAP
Takes FOREVER to read. A chapter is only 2-3 pages and most books are over 1,000 chapters. DON’T make the mistake of even starting it. They will NOT ALLOW PURCHASE OF ANY OF THEIR BOOKS!!!!!
Problem
It was pretty good in the beginning, however for some unknown reason I haven’t been able to read the book I started reading for 4 days consecutively. Ironically it was right after my third purchase of coins….
Some error occurred
I am reading this for so long and almost completed 750 chapters. Now it is not showing anything and error shows” Some error occurred “ and i cannot read anything. Please fir the bug
Rekindled Heartache
Good story! Beginning moved slowly but finally very interesting!
Horrible Horrible App!
This app is the absolute worst!! It takes your money, says the chapters are unlocked but give only blank pages for three to four chapters in a row at times. As if this wasn’t bad enough, I get to chapter 221 for there to be an “error” message for two days. I give it a couple days and tried again only to get the same message. Tried deleting then reinstalling the app but it to took me to chapter 29 and blocked my going further. Monies down the drain and time wasted seem like the only guarantees with this app! A BIG RIPOFF! Undeserving of a star!
Check fully your app its to many problems improve it
Need to fixed to many bugs in app
Too much of buffering
The app crashes alot so it takes time for me to publish any new chapter. Please resolve it at the earliest..
Love contract
Love the storie and would like to see it as a movie versus reading the story.
Español
Deberían ponerla al español también no todos sabemos inglés me parece un poco discriminante esta app
Not getting coins
Hi I have spent more than 100 rupees for getting coins to read further. But till now I am not getting single coin. Moreover I have lost all my data too. It’s starting from first chapter. Kindly help me
Mobile money
Please the app is good but am from Ghana can you please add a mobile money pay so those of us from Ghana 🇬🇭can buy coins to read the book please thank you ✌️✌️
Any
I’m really not able to recite because I can’t get in. It asks for name and age. Also it asks for story preference but there’s no where to type or some type of chart to check off then when you hit continue it says you have to enter all the information first. So I’m stuck can’t give preference but can’t advance without it Not a good start at all
☹️
Like seriously I started reading novel from this platform it was so good that I was addicted to but currently there was no new book in recommendation and home page stories are are old like 3-4 years and updates are so slow plz bring updade for new books which are good not old school fantasy or rich or poor one bring new novel and ask writers to make a fast update like 10 ep in 4 months and 1 st season was so good but second season update is very slow
JAB EK LADKI KO DEKHA
The worst thing is the need to purchase & give stars to the writer. The value of whole novel comes in thousands. How the organisers think that we, the readers will pay that much amount. A novel, which I have read 276 chapters till now, after having unlocked five chapters daily means I have taken almost 55 days, whereas otherwise I would have completed this novel with 800+ chapters long ago. Even chapters are not unlocked daily. Today chapters 277 to 280 have not been unlocked, but 281 has been unlocked. Had there been one time charges or even monthly charge of ₹50/- or so, people would have paid happily. Organisers should think over or else I may even stop reading the current novel in between.
Password
Trying to set a password an all it does is say password link ha expired
Eli
Horrible app that overcharges for mediocre books. Run as far as you can before you get hooked, they should be ashamed of how much they charge for one book.
Hidden marriage
The Mai reason i installed this app is to read hidden marriage by author Trish but I can’t find the book…is there any alternate book or did the name of the book change or something.??
Nora smith
Very good and entertaining show
EXPENSIVE
If you can afford hundreds of $ to read a book this is the app for you! 1007 chapters for the one I started. I’ve spent more than I want to admit and still only 1/10th of the way thru. Guess I’ll never know how it ends I’m deleting the app. Whoever owns this app is very wealthy. SCAM!!!
Pocket novel
Story’s very beutyful but please remove coin system
make an update
its really good app i am using it since 1 year but pleas make the new version some stories are not opening i thought it will be okay in 5 10 days but still not opening improve your app make some changes
Incomplete App
It’s a shame because all it does is give you space for your name and age, but there isn’t any space for story preferences. Without the story preferences you can’t proceed. What kind of incomplete app is this, the designers of this app launched a half baked app.
Missing Chapters
I have now come across 2 books that do not include all chapters . First one is Emily’s Return that stops at chapter 89 and the other is Trouble with Anna which stops at chapter 45…. This is very frustrating, especially after you have paid to read the the majority of the chapters and then you are left hanging! Why are the books not complete???
