I don't mind the app overall, except that the rewards page doesn't like to load 9 times out of 10. I get to read maybe two or three chapters of a book, and then have to wait until the next day to read more. On top of that, you may as well focus on just 1 book at a time, because you will just get majorly frustrated at how slow the progress is. You could bank your coins and read a whole bunch at one time, but only IF you can get the rewards page to load and collect the coins.
Reviews for Readink - Read Good Web Novel
← Back to Readink - Read Good Web Novelgood app & there are lots of stories to choose from. just keep in mind that they are fanfiction quality :) i signed up for monthly $40 unlimited subscription (& it is), & just so you know: THERE IS NO PLACE TO CANCEL IT ON THE APP. no email/phone number is provided on your receipt & it won't show up on your google play subscriptions. to cancel, go to Google Play, manage apps, Readink, then email the app support (right next to reviews here). they responded really quickly. otherwise, enjoy! :D
(updated) Great stories but expensive. decent bonus rewards though, usually enough for a chapter a day, which can be a struggle for me since I already struggle with the pay-pay- per chapter model these apps use. I would say the quality of the books and editing on this app is for better than some others so I dont mind paying a bit for coins every now and then, especially since rh free rewards help supplement if I dont get too greedy with my chapter unlocks in a day.
Way Over Priced!! I've paid $60 so far and can't even finish the book I'm reading!!! There's no way I'll keep this app. How do you charge over $200 for a years subscription?! I pay $70 a year on other book apps that are way easier to use with more options. My mind is blown at how expensive this app is!
Used to love this app, I paid for the monthly subscription but now they made it a weekly subscription for $40. that's to much money for a "fun read" for me so they lost a costumer. uodate: follow the guide and it still won't let me cancel! according to everything my subscription doesn't exist but im getting charged $39.99 a week so clearly somewhere im subscribed but nothing on the website or app is helping. I want my membership canceled!!
The expense is prohibitive. over $500.00/year. I will watch the ads, but I have another app that I pay $75.00/year with wonderful stories as well. If you change the price, I will purchase it. Oh, and the 2 ads are actually 4, which is misleading. So far, the books are pretty good, but things have to change, or I will uninstall.
ok, hear me out. The app is just like any other app. You can earn points to read more chapters. The prices are reasonable to read more chapters. I am glad that I found characters / main characters that are relatable and believable to me. I have 6 app novels, and this is only one. My only concern is that some authors are in such a rush to get content out that the grammar and punctuation aren't there or correct.
the amount of coins it takes to read the 275 chapters that are like 3 paragraphs long would cost > 5000 coins=$50 because each chapter, the cost increases. There are no options to just buy the book outright. This doesn't support the authors. It supports the platform and prevents them from being discovered. I am an avid reader and refuse to pay $50 to read a book from an unknown author. You can pay $30/week, $239/year, or buy coins 3k/$30 2k/20
This app is a garbage. Entirely too expensive. They want $20 week to read a book that's on Amazon for $10 LOL. If you're looking to read for free it will take you years to finish as you can only read a few chapters a day with ads. Your points you jump through hoops to earn also expire within hours. Uninstalled immediately. I'll stick with Novelflow and Novella apps they're free and you don't have to jump thru hoops to unlock chapters.
App keeps closing and not connecting constantly- and I have uninstalled and reinstalled several times while trying to read. Also, recently, this App will not connect to my Facebook account. When I try, it only opens to a white screen. Can not access my subscription account. extremely disappointed and a waste of money. When I tried to connect to support the response was snarky at best back in May when I was having the connection issues. Hopefully someone at this company can be of assistance.
Beware of the subscription option! The app offered a weekly subscription at a discounted cost of $15, with the regular price being $20. I started listing to a book and was more than 100 chapters in. I decided to try a different book for a break. 6 chapters in and the app suddenly wanted me to purchase chapters, saying a weekly subscription was $40 and that I never had one previously. Google play confirmed my subscription as active. My library was suddenly empty as if I had never used the app.
Please fix your app! I would love to read daily on this platform, but it will not open half of the time! *Update* Seems to be functioning properly for a week or so now. Thanks for fixing it! Now, if there was a way to unlock chapters faster without having to spend a fortune like so many other apps like this one. The books are fantastic, but I can buy 10 books or more for the cost of unlocking 1 book here. The free options unlock MAYBE 2 chapters a week unless you watch tons of ads... sucks!
the only reason I can't give 5 stars is because I did a subscription with the app, but in order to cancel it you have to do this whole round about instead of having an option in your app to just pause or cancel there. you have to go to apple or Google and I haven't been able to cancel/pause it cause they can't find my subscription anywhere but I'm still being charged monthly
I've been enjoying reading the books, and I wanted to finish one so I subscribed. I had planned on canceling my subscription after a week. but my subscription center does not show the subscription. So I thought I'd already canceled it. I was mistaken. they are still charging my credit card. And no matter how I try to log into Google Play to cancel the subscription, it can never be found in the subscription center. I've even copied and pasted the link that they have on the app. nothing
The stories are amazing and very well written. I don't like that I can't get my bonus coins. It says "oops", or let's you watch the ad only to be stuck in the app loading which you can't get out of and have to close the app completely. I think it just tries to get you to purchase coins since it won't give you bonuses.
BEWARE! This was one of my first reading apps, and I absolutely loved this app. I always subscribed and canceled when I took a break from reading, and everything was fine for a while. On the last subscription, I canceled it, sent an email showing canceled, but they kept charging me 49.99. It was not showing subscribed in Google. I had no choice but ask cc company to stop it resulting in the company blocking me from this and all their other apps. Still being charged on other app I'm blocked on.
I subscribed to the monthly plan for $39.99 on the 2nd and now you have charged me again on the 8th. It's only been a week! There is no way to contact you. When I click on 'me' there is no 'support' or 'contact us' option. I need this fixed ASAP to get that second payment back! Also, getting dailies and paying for them are two completely different things. If people pay for them, you shouldn't be able to take it away like you do when they watch ads for them. This is ridiculous.
Overall, great stories, but room for improvement. As many prior users have noted, reading here gets expensive fast! True, this is VERY overpriced, but the stories suck me in, & I make the choice to spend my money this way. Over time, I've progressed from pay as you go to monthly & then annual unlimited subscription plans. I'm satisfied with the annual plan & reading as much or as little as I want. I would really love better library mgmt options w/ reading progress indicators for better tracking.
The app wants to force you to pay for books riddled with spelling and grammatical errors. It offers points for you to read for free, but the points don't do any good when they keep taking them away. Around 500 points have disappeared... so much for my plan to collect enough points to binge read. Apparently, this app has a rule, no binge reading unless you pay cash. I'm not sure if I'll tolerate this app long enough to read the book I started. Apparently, the points expire within 5 hours
DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS APP! I downloaded it but did NOT subscribe to it. I purchased coins to read novels but certainly never authorized a subscription. But somehow, I am now being charged $29.99 every week and have been since August 4. 2025, totaling $209.93 (so far), and yet I have not received a single coin or bonus in my account on the app. And now I'm in a fight to get them to stop charging me! Save yourself the headache! UPDATE! There's no "Feedback " link anywhere on this app. Criminals!
