Reviews for Galatea: Books & Audiobooks

Gotta really sift through the trash to find one worth reading. I bought the year pass (I can’t remember if it was $50 or $70) because BUYING COINS ISNT WORTH IT. The more chapters you buy, the more the cost increases. **This app would be better if they let readers rate the stories.. but maybe […]

All the books I have began to read are wonderful so far. I’ve spent about $5 in points and I’m happy with my progress. My qualm is the fact that unlimited is a yearly subscription, I’d love to sign up for it if it pulled from my account monthly instead of 69$ a year. And […]

It’s not a bad app. It’s the same pay to read shtick like so many others. My gripe is not being able to watch ads to get chapters. I’ve been able to do that in other similar apps and sucks either having to pay or wait 6 hours for a new chapter. I’m guessing their […]

The free books would be better if you could customize what is available there. It’s rare to find anything I like in that section. Also the subscription thing is only yearly, plus costs more than almost any other subscription. Other than the only other issue is that only the first three or four chapters of […]

Decent stories, but terrible app. It takes less than 5 minutes to read a chapter and then you have to wait 6 hours to unlock the next one unless you spend money. No option to watch ads to earn points, and no option to get just a month of unlimited reading, they want you to […]

I’m not a huge fan of the wait times. I’m also not happy about the lack of things to do to get points, other than making purchases. I get it. The app and the authors need to make their money, too. I just don’t like reading books in increments, and I don’t like spending a […]

Edited again: It looks like they finally took advice & came up with a membership. They still have it where the points needed to unlock chapters go up considerably as you unlock new ones. That still feels skeevy to me. It quickly turns into 20 points each chapter. It’s basically only worth it to get […]

I have enjoyed all of the books I have read so far but haven’t read a single one that had poor editing. [Inconsistencies in story, spelling of names changed, wrong name used when context tells it should be someone else’s name, etc.] I wish there was a way to mark books as “read” instead of […]

The Book I got as a tease during a game I was on. The story caught me up and of course I would download the reading app to continue it. However it should be waiting app not reading. Instead of having ads which are totally understandable to progress more chapters it has a ridiculous amount […]

I’ve had the app for a few years now and absolutely love it. However, I’ve run across an issue I’ve never had before. I’ve already paid for and read Kidnapped by my mate and book 2 His lost queen. I’ve read them both many times over the years with no issues. Now, all of a […]

Love this app! I have 2 other versions of reading apps, but this one is by far my favorite. You can wait 6 hours or, chapters only require a few in app coins. I also love that most of the stories have a video version on Galatea TV and there are way more variety of […]

so far I enjoy the books, however it advertised as “read for free”. it is free but takes so long to get the number of points to read another chapter and if you don’t use points it’s every 6 hours. that is long time. and the 6 hours don’t start again until you finish reading […]

I do really enjoy the stories available. There’s no adds, but there is a wait time for chapters, that varies on book popularity. I do have a problem with the free books that are supposed to become available on certain days for a limited time. It has a date when it’s supposed to be free, […]

Love it! It’ worth it if you’re willing to wait hours for the next chapter or do like I did, complete the book, then read it. The stories are great, there aren’t alot of grammatical errors like other apps. The only downfall, which is small, is the audio books. the emotions and tone is sometimes […]

I’m loving the book I’m reading, but the only reason for the 4 starts instead of 5 is that the wait time is way to long between chapters compared to my other apps. This timer is 5 hrs to wait till you can read again, whereas other apps are like an hour, or watch a […]

I love the stories on the app and am currently attempting to read 4 books, but lately, it seems to be VERY slow, not even clearing the cached data works. I do use a mini “cheat” for the ads, I’ll read a few chapters of one book, and while waiting for the next chapter to […]

Honestly I love the app. I’ve read several books and each one had an original story line that was well written and edited. There weren’t any mistakes where the character’s names were confused or even worse the story had gaps and left open ended questions. The only thing I don’t like is how high subscriptions […]

I love the fact that I can read free. Opening one chapter every six hours is annoying though. I would rather watch ads. I wish they had more options to read free. I have done the math and it takes about a week to open a book if you are diligent. The stories are great […]

Updated: Wow!!! 😡 Lies, never got promised points. Stole my only 10 points! When I used points to open the next chapter it went back to the one I had just read! 1st review : Enjoying the story I started. Reading as often as possible. Wish it was more than every 6 hours. Can’t some […]

The app allows you to earn points simply by reading which you can redeem for chapters, and there’s a wait time between chapters that allows you to keep reading without forcing you to pay for things unless you want to. Other apps I have tried you get 3-4 chapters before you get locked out and […]
