Reviews for NovelBar-Your Reading Haven

This app is to dang expensive. The price only gets higher as you get deeper into the novel. They charge chapter by chapter and the chapters are only a few paragraphs long and definitely don't reflect the quantity of pages in a regular chapter book. You will spend hundreds of dollars to read one book. I suggest subscribing audible it is exceedingly cheaper with better perks and very many listening options.

The stories are well written but not very free. There are only 5 videos to watch for points, but no other ads. Next chapter wants 85 points, the one after that wants 125. Without paying $$, I will only be able to read one chapter every few days. There are other reading apps that are truly FREE. Too bad, good stories. I will be uninstalling.

There's lots of stories and I really enjoy them. The only reason it's not a 5 star is the subscription that's offered sucks. If I'm paying thirty dollars a month I don't want to spend more money to unlock chapters. The current book I'm reading costs about 100 dollars worth of coins, that's kind of outrageous. When I finish the story I'll probably Uninstall the app.

Turns out the "monthly subscription" gives you an initial chunk of coins + a extra small daily bonus, it does NOT unlock books to read without coins. The extra daily bonus coins are so little it still takes a couple days to have enough coins to buy more expensive chapters, AND I didn't even get the daily bonus coins! Just the initial coins. Super sketchy and scammy app, go download Kindle or Audible!!!

The advertising is a flat lie. I saw it on Facebook, and the only reason I started reading is because the ad said "All chapters free." They are not. I would have even been happy with one free book or "wait to read" where you get a new chapter each day. Extremely disappointing and false advertising to hike downloads. I also believe that the Google rating is faked. Almost every other review I read is 3-star or lower.

I really like some of the writers and stories, but I find that the points needed to unlock chapters are a little excessive.. I mean, you could try the free "rewards" but it'll take a week to unlock a chapter. Or you can spend money. I know books can be expensive, but $5 for 600 points just to be able to read maybe 8 "chapters" is going to end up being expensive. Hope you either have lots of time or money.

I tried this app because I love reading. I bought the monthly subscription and started a book. I tried to read more of the book and paid a few more times, $10 or $20 each time, to unlock more of the book but found I was not even halfway through after so much money. This app will rob you and not be worth it. Buy books elsewhere, anywhere but here. You'll can be $100 or more in the hole for just one book. I would have paid for the whole book but there isn't even that option.

I was logged in the app, and all of a sudden, I'm showing as being logged out after I started having issues with the reading counter and sent off feedback. Now, if I re log in as Facebook, it sends error messages and if I log in using my email address it clears all of my books so it means that I loose all of my history that way too so I'm going to have to stay logged out unless the developers can fix their errors and transfer my data without any losses.

The concept sounds good in theory but the delivery is less than stellar. While I understand that these apps are designed for amateur authors in the hopes they will be seen and published I was deeply disappointed by the less than polished stories. I certainly would not be investing any large amounts of money to use this app as, I assume, the authors receive very little of what the users are spending. Poor proofing and spelling errors made some good stories really difficult to read.

I really like the story I'm ready and have overlooked some of the Grammer and such. But I've spent about $50 and I still haven't come close to finishing the book. Even after I subscribed to the monthly subscription, I read too much of it in a evening apparently. And used the entire amount. I don't understand why the app is so outrageous on the prices to even read a book 😒

Honestly I have experienced a lot better apps when it comes to reading novels. I don't like the fact that you have to pay a lot of money just to read a page. I have read novels that have you Watch ads to open another page and it's never been a problem. Honestly, if you really want to be able to read novels without any problem.Go to alpha app or even good novel.They're the best. But this one I don't recommend.

I really love the stories and how they keep me in suspense and excitement, but I have spent 35$ for 54 chapters in one book so far that I haven't finished. I even got the subscription value, and used everything I had already. The price for coins is reasonable but the amount of coins for each chapter is ridiculous, I want to be able to just enjoy the book I'm reading without running out of coins so fast, because the amount of coins you need for each chapter rises super high. Ads would be nice atp

So far. The stories are very well put together, but I always seem to run into the Advertised stories as the Rip-Offs when it comes to prices. 70+ coins per chapter after the free chapters are done, already makes this a 1 Star app. But I'll change my rating later if I find less greedy authors with better stories. For $10, you get 1000 coins, but at 70+ a chapter, you'll be lucky if you get 10 chapters. Can literally buy a full-length book on Amazon for $10...

This app is just like all of the other apps for books like this. not worth the effort. the stories seem great until you have to pay for them, then the "subscriptions" don't work correctly. I will just stick with my Nook and Kindle apps. Ones where I can just pay for the whole book and read it without gross amounts of interruptions. These authors are being cheated out of their rights to their books because apps like this take advantage of well-written unknown authors for their own gain.

Easily one of the biggest rip offs I've ever used for a web novel app. 20 dollars for 1000 coins but you charge 100+ coins for one chapter. You seriously expect people to pay 20 dollars and not even unlock ten chapters. Pair that up with the samples of the books are negligible at best... I don't think I've seen one with more than 8 chapters. At this point I'd rather just use joyread or webnovel and save a few bucks

SCAM APP!!! The stories are basic rehashes of the same tropes that are already overused, still riddled with the same grammatical issues due to poor translation or being written by someone who doesn't natively speak English (like there's no proofreading before its posted), and the cost is insanely high orr chapters. 113 coins to unlock 1 chapter, and its $5 for 500 coins. You get its more than $1 per chapter. the cost is outrageous, actual books with hundreds of pages are far cheaper.

I had been reading pretty consistently but had a week or so gap so when I went to read again it threw me back to chapter 29 and then auto unlocked chapter 30, all I've already read. I was closer to chapter 75 maybe more. Very frustrating as I did spend money to unlock chapters but then have to unlock them again? It's a ripoff if they don't fix the bug and set people's accounts straight, especially when there is proof of your progress. Please fix as I want to keep reading.

FAKE FALSE ADVERTISING- SCAM APP- I came in on a FB advert for "All Chapters Free" it was a lie. The coins needed for the chapters to unlock is astronomical. I thought there were things to do to get chapters but not so. plus if you purchase you can't cancel. I wound up with a recurring $14.99 WEEKLY charge on my bank card after purchasing a ONE TIME BUY to finish a book! I then uninstalled the app but got asked to "Edit Your Review" I think the 4 & 5 star ratings are FAKED.

The price is ridiculous and a scam. It told me 114 coins to unlock a chapter, I was short by only a few coins, so I wasted my time and watched some AD's to get more coins to unlock the chapter, and when I went to unlock it, it now says 127 to unlock. That's so SCAMMY!! Just to get you to watch more ads or buy more coins.. VERY disappointing cuz there are good stories on here, but absolutely NOT worth the price. Uninstalling without being able to finish my story.

SO EXPENSIVE! I just purchased coins so that I could finish a story, and all of a sudden, the stories jumped from 77 coins a chapter to 146 coins a chapter! WTH! The book I was reading has 135 chapters in it. It would cost $200 for 1 book if you purchased the coins! You're supposed to be able to watch ads to get coins, but the ads hardly ever play. Save your money and go somewhere else. The proofing of the stories is a joke! The story drags on and on. Pick another app anything, but this one!
