the app is glitchy on top of being overpriced. I paid for coins to read a book then it kicked me out of the book and when I tried to go back in it kept sending me to the wrong story! it was stealing my coins each time just for opening to that wrong story. if Google doesn't refund I will be doing a charge back and back to advise no help. fix your app and bring cost down to DG paperback. half arnt even proofread! got the book open finally of course all coins are gone tho!
Reviews for NovelShort
← Back to NovelShortDon't download. it advertises as free chapters, but you really have to pay for them.
this app is fun to read HOWEVER you never get to finish the stories without paying. after chapter 3/4 you have to spend 199 coins for the next chapter (you start with 50 coins) and then you have to pay to get the coins to read on and it's not exactly cheap or reasonable. every story is on a cliffhanger. I don't understand why we can't just read the full thing, why have an app a lot can't fully use rather than one everyone can use and read on 🤷♀️
I would suggest either making the price of coins cheaper or making the chapters price cheaper. it is ridiculous to think that readers should spend so much to read a book. Tonight I started reading with over 1000 coins and within 10 chapters at maximum it was gone. I don't get how you think that is ok? A book in a bookstore brand new with no grammar errors is around about £15 but to read stories on an app that needs serious proof reading and edited you have to spend £70+ ridiculous!
I spent 9.99 for 1100 coins and didn't receive anything. I cleared the cache. sent TWO emails. nothing. they stole my money!!!!
you get a few free chapters then after that it costs over 100 coins to read the next short chapter. so you are always paying out. The free coins don't give u enough to read a chapter.
The payment for each chapter is to high and the rewards from the daily log in and ads aren't enough. Also the top up payments are too expensive.
Worst app ever, its an expensive trap. Most stories are AI written and very Asian culture oriented. Filled with parents slapping children and arranged marriage, loss of face, being shameful etc etc. You may get 1 good story, then the reading quality dissolves into spelling mistakes, character confusion, meandering nonsensical storyline. I.e. characters with the same names. Really, save your money. I lost 40.00 usd on this garbage. You will never "earn" enough coins to unlock anything EVER!!!
terrible app and incredibly expensive. story line is ok but translation makes it very poorly written. I do not recommend it at all.
top up but never received my coins .send all details from my purchase but received no response on 4 different times .I'm thinking of removing the app from my account but want my purchase refunded.
great stories, but unfortunately the chapters cost way too much to read. Not enough in the rewards to even read one chapters. 159 coins for a chapter is absolutely ridiculous. Sad because I really liked the book. I will be deleting and I doubt if this app will survive very long.
One novel caught my eye. I read it till I had to pay. I payed and figured it was worth it till a few chapters later they wanted more money when the novel was almost over. What a greedy app.
159 coins to open each chapter of the first book I tried to read. Chapters aren't even that long. Not worth it. Sure the books draw you in with the first few free chapters but then cost a ridiculous amount. Nope deleting the app.
I don't like how you have to pay every chapter I was reading a novel story I was getting into it as soon as it hit chapter 5 I have to pay for the next chapter it gets more expensive or by the time it goes in the current balance is 50 when it's 900 for me I will delete this app if it doesn't change that I hate this app so much to be honest I don't recommend it I recommend the Chinese drama shorts cuz at least they're better than. but that's just my opinion
The stories are great, but the horrible issue is that you have to pay for almost everything to read, and it's costly as well.. it's very upsetting to me and possibly others when they get into a good book and they have to pay a whole bunch of money just to finish reading it, at least add a timer or something for the other chapters instead of forcing people to pay for the rest of the book.
I decided to download this app to see if I could find a comparable reading app to what I already have. The chapters are short but charge 159 coins. When you pay $9.99 for 1100 coins. It is not worth it. My other reading app has longer chapters for less coins. I will stick with them. I will finish the chapters with what coins I already paid for then delete the app.
So, I would have to pay 14 dollars for three days to read any story in full to my hearts content, and then after the 3 days it will fully reset prompting me to buy more days. The price isn't worth it and it is a waste of money. This app needs to find better options to allow readers to enjoy the app like a coin system or watch an ad if need be in order to read the next chapter. Other than that, I just going to delete this app.
App is beyond expensive per chapter and now it barely opens at all saying there is a new bug and to update the app and wait for the developer to say it's been worked out. The free ads never work and if you can watch the ad it still doesn't count toward what you need to get to the next chapter. You're better off going with another app because even with the app bug you'll still continue to be charged just the same.
Too expensive. Found part of the story on tiktok, wanted to finish it but quickly found it was $20 at its cheapest for 3 days when i said no they had a pop up that offered me $9.99 for 3 days and 7 stories. Way too expensive for a short novel that while is good in the brainrot sense, not the i want to spend a bunch of money sense. You can get a whole book from a top author for the price they want. If it were cheaper, i would've done it.
I wouldn't really recommend. Reason number 1: is that you have to unlock the chapters probably after chapter 3 or 4 and it's 199 coins per chapter. And if you don't have any coins you need to pay for it, it's kinda expensive to be honest. Number 2: I was reading the reviews and the replies that went back, the app said that they updated it where we can watch ads, and when I checked I wasn't able to watch any ads for a free chapter so it was basically a lie. Number 3: The app needs WiFi to work
