Overall, I really enjoy this app. Some book chapters for some books aren't all uploaded. Which causes one to be unable to read those books entirely without the app stating, "Come and check back tomorrow" for the next chapter. But, the next chapters aren't always available. You have to wait sometime a week or more. You can't even just purchase the book so you can continue to read. Then only one chapter opens, causing frustration. I just want to read until I'm tired. 😌😏😌
Reviews for Storyroom-Romance Stories
← Back to Storyroom-Romance StoriesI do love seeing amateur authors, bring their imaginations to life. However, I hate how often I have to purchase coins to read, because so many coins are charged for each chapter. That 500 is gone in a few chapters. I do appreciate the bonus options, however, it's still too little of an amount. We end up spending more on endless stories, than we would buying an actual book. This would be five stars, if the coin thing was figured out, and if moderators kept track of the stories.
So far five stars in the books. I like how the author writes and not much errors. However I'm still learning about the use of "vouchers & coins"... Some chapters are shorter than others & still have to "pay" same amount. Honestly I'd rather just "buy" it for a whole amount rather than a certain amount per cheaper it seems.
Love the stories. They really pull you into the book I can't put it down. Just wish I could read more in one day. Wish that it would stay consistent with how many credits you use per chapter. Also kinda annoying that when you go into The app it goes right into the sorry and take your tokens without you saying yes to it. The stories are a little to long. They kinda drag on and on and on.
Rating 5 stars to collect reward. Just trying to finish a book and it takes 90 vouchers for each chapter. App seems a bit confusing to me and takes forever to get enough vouchers to read more than one chapter at a time. I personally cannot justify spending money on something I can't use to benefit my life in the real world otherwise I'd buy the coins. Hopefully this helps anyone wanting to download this app.
Content is great so far but VERY expensive. I'm $40 into a book that would cost me $10 in paperback and I'm not anywhere near the end. I'll be uninstalling. I can't afford this app. At least the content is much better than some of these reading apps. I'm not sure they are even in English half the time, the grammar and diction is terrible. But this app does have quality material, just too pricey.
I downloaded this after I got sucked in by a Facebook ad. Don't start reading in the app. The books are ridiculously expensive. There's no "unlimited subscription" option to purchase. I spent $20 USD and was able to read a book and a half. "Chapters" (if you can call them that when they're only about two pages worth of text and end in the middle of a thought/conversation) are 96 credits each. The one book I was able to complete had over 90 chapters but would probably be about 250 pgs on Kindle
Rip off! Found the ad on fb. And got sucked into a novel. So i started looking at the prices quoted definitely better off just getting a different app that will allow you to read a novel little to 10$ instead of almost 50 dollars to complete the book. Really wanted to read this novel but im not spending a cent on something that is worth little to 10$. Better just getting the kindle app or get a subscription through a reading site that doesnt charge per couple of pages.
I feel that the chapters cost to many "coins", and I'll probably uninstall the app after I finish the book I got invested in. If the chapter cost was cut in half even I would consider continued use of the app. The story that hooked me is intriguing, yes it has grammatical errors, and the writers have earned the support. However I'm not going to buy "coins" to spend on individual chapter and end up paying more for this book than I would spend on actual renowned published writers, books.
I came across this reading site through Facebook and for the book I downloaded it for it said all chapters were free. Now I'm not dumb, I knew that all the stories couldn't be free, I was just expecting a small percentage of them to be if anything. However, if you advertise that a certain story is free and get people to download your app only for them to get 10 chapters in and have to pay outrageous prices for 200+ more chapters, that's just wrong.
354 coins for one chapter! It would take over 17000 to finish the book and that's if every chapter stayed a consistent amount. Are you out of your minds? Too many other reading apps with cost of 30 coins per chapter and they are longer than a few pages. I read a lot. Several books a day but NOT at these prices. You're losing money by overcharging and don't even realize it. Will re-review if changes are made otherwise just deleting.
I thought I'd try this app. First it's not an audio book so I had to read which is fine but not what I was looking for when I typed in audiobooks. Second no direction or instruction on how to use site or the iVouchers that you earn/buy. There no way to tell how long a book is. I bought $20 in coins read 68 "chapters" (each is about 5-10 pages with maybe 1-2 paragraphs on a page) & there no end in sight. It's a money trap with no way to contact any support to answer ?'s. Waste of time & money!
Giving a 5 star rating earns points for reading, so take all 5 star ratings here with a giant grain of salt. This is like similar aps. Earn points for daily check ins, etc, or purchase chapters. No way to earn enough points to actually read much and books are ridiculously expensive. I will say, I've read 1.5 books so far and those 1.5 were a little better and edited a bit better than many stories I've looked at in some other, similar aps.
The app doesn't provide enough opportunities to earn ivouchers. I am not opposed to paying for a book, however most books average between $5-15 in a traditional bookstore, even less if you buy an ebook. The price of the ivouchers, for books without proper editing, is ridiculous. One book alone was around $50 in total for the required vouchers. The app publisher counts on readers not bothering to do the math, it is without a doubt a rip off.
I am pissed because I had a few thousand coins and when I decided to "log in" to get more points yesterday, everything disappeared! All my coins and the progress in my books so it's as if I never even read them and need to purchase all those chapters that I've already read again!!!! 😡 no option to log out to see if everything will reappear. Only option is to "cancel account". Would give negative stars if I could!!
I decided to try another reading app. I'm disappointed, I read a few chapters then needed vouchers, ok, until I saw the cost. You can earn free vouchers by picking 1 of 6 cards and watch an ad to get it doubled. With what I receive, I'm usually able to unlock one chapter a day. The book I'm currently reading is 5 page chapters. Still very lack luster for the cost verses what's earned. I am enjoying the stories I've checked out so far.
This app has a few issues in my opinion. The spelling and grammatical errors is a huge one. It makes it difficult to follow the storyline. Also the need for two different "coins" to buy chapters. It needs to be simplified. I did enjoy the book like features like flipping the pages. The stories definitely need better editing. 2 out of 5 stars. It shouldn't cost as much for a couple chapters as it does to go buy a whole book.
WOW! I have about 8 of these apps downloaded, and just when you think it didn't get more expensive, it does! It's 180 coins per chapter. It is absolutely insane especially with the excessive grammatical errors and poor writing. A book would cost you near 100.00 to complete. No way I'm paying this. These developers have gotten beyond greedy. If you want to charge this, write better books and proofread. Sadly, I won't finish the story I already begun. Uninstalling!
Prices to unlock chapters are extremely higher, nearly three times more than other reading apps. Think about lowering them. I don't mind paying for them if the price was more reasonable, however, it really is highway robbery and I refuse to pay the price!!! I'll continue to collect the bonus' to read, even if I have to wait to accumulate them.
So far so good. I like the story I'm reading right now. So we'll see what else I find. Still pretty good so far. Finding a couple more books I like. Found a couple more books. Like them so far. Wish the chapters weren't quite so many coins, though. Still like it for the most part, but I still find the chapters require too many coins. But not sure what goes into picking coin amounts. Just by buying ebooks regularly, seems like this site costs two to three times more than normal ebooks.
