Reviews for Starynovel: Read Novel & Story
Good books. But the thing i appreciate the most is. I had forgotten to stop my subscription and had been charged again which was my mistake. I canceled after I had been charge with no expectations. But i was refunded. Thank you so much!!
Too expensive. I would love to read some of the books, but $16.99 is too expensive. And they don't give you long to read when you "exchange diamonds". I was in the middle of reading a good chapter and it went back to the buy screen. So disappointed.
It only gives 4 ten minutes of free reading... which takes 400 (100 for every 10 minutes of reading time) points for each cycle. Would be better if the stories accepted points or coins that the reader accumulated in the app from various tasks performed.
I tried to purchase the membership and they took my money but did not allow me access to the books. It kept saying I needed to get the membership but then said that I already had it and just kept the chapters locked. Garbage app. Too bad because the stories looked pretty good.
Bought coins to unlock my book that I wanted and when I closed out of the book, which was fully unlocked and I still had coins, opened the app to read this morning, the book reset all the way to the beginning of the book, relocked all the chapters and all my coins are gone. I can even prove that the money came out of my bank account to purchase the coins. Seriously, less than 24 hrs and I was really close to the end of the book and was hoping to find out if there was a sequel. Sequel=$$$.
Bait and hook.. 😒 Downloaded this app to finish a story advertised through Facebook. I watched the ads, gained the free time, and read daily. The first novel continued into a deeper story. At chapter 22 of the second novel, this app forces me to subscribe to premium, and pay to get the rest of my story?!? That was unexpected. I'm not going to get into any more novels on this app. Edited to respond: if there was going to be a charge to continue reading, there should have been a notations sooner
I appreciate the concept of a monthly subscription over a pay-per-chapter model. However, as I located in Indonesia, I find all the recommended novels are Indonesian novels from Indonesia author, with no option to change the language preference to English. You should let your user make the decision.
I do like some of the books I started to read. However, I'm not going to pay for them because they are full of typos and incomplete sentences. If there was a way to earn coins to unlock chapters, then it would be a great app. Unfortunately, there isn't, so I will be uninstalling.
This app started out great. I found a wonderful story to read and was enjoying how the app functioned. But as usual things tanked. I read 21 of 26 chapters. The last 5 chapters were held hostage unless I paid for the premium level, $17.00 a month. Nope, not gonna happen!
