JoyRead

Let me start of by saying that the book I’ve been reading is actually very interesting and I’ve enjoyed it. Apart from that, this app is too expensive. Chapters are about a page and a half of a regular book. Your coins are being used every chapter and before you’ve realized it you’ve ran out of coins on just a few chapters. They seem to be adding chapters to the story as you’re reading to make you spend more and extend the story. Before I started the story of my choice I noticed it was 240 something chapters. I’ve paid so much money just to reach 300 something and now the last chapter is “400+”. Insane !!!!! I’ve spent too much money on trying to finish this story because I do like it but they’re really taking advantage of you allow them. If you don’t mind, you’ll be paying about 200 or more on just 1 story. Please be mindful of this before you even get yourself involved. Just looking out for you and your funds 💕

I would say that I enjoy the books on this app but I have about 20 other apps where these authors will upload the same books. I purchased coins and was directed to “purchase from the website to gain more coins”. I have done this multiple times without issues so everything works smoothly, no problem, until there was. On Friday I purchased coins and my account didn’t reflect the purchase. When I went to look for customer service help I came across Q&As that suggested waiting 48 hours for it to load to your account. I still went ahead and found the message center and sent a message. I heard nothing back that day. The next day I attached a screenshot of the purchase in a second message and waited as my coins still hadn’t loaded and my prior message still showed “not seen yet”. Today, marking 48 hours later, the coins are still not loaded/ registered to my account. My messages are still “not seen yet”, the difference is there is a message that says “we’ll be back in an hour”. So I wrote them again in hopes of being noticed, to no avail. An hour later I went back my messages are still unseen and the message says “we’ll be back in 30 mins”. I have even emailed them. The fact that you cannot reach someone immediately knowing that this seems to be a common issue (bc they have a 48hour regulation) is uncomfortable. It doesn’t feel safe, unless you like gambling, but I don’t remember reading that as an option before purchasing.

I started reading a book that was engaging and immediately drew me in. I’m an avid reader and quickly went through the first chapter (ridiculously short chapters that are about 2 pages worth of material in a regular book). Unfortunately, I extremely disappointed to find that this “free app” is nothing more than a money making scheme! You are required to purchase coins or pearls I order to keep reading one chapter at a time. The ridiculously short chapters are all pay as you go after chapter 15 and the books are over 3500 chapters long. If you fall for the scam you’ll end paying over $200 for a single book! The complaint I had went nowhere and it’s a simple recommendation to utilize their free reading options (laughable). They have the same stock answer for every complaint. If you are person who likes to read very little over a great length of time and pay insane amounts of money for a book, this ap is for you! If you love a great story and enjoy paying 20$ and reading a book cover to cover once you start, DO NOT get this app!!! Your experience will be to the contrary! WORST APP EVER!!! Don’t waste your time getting hooked on a story you won’t get to finish! If there was an option to not give any stars in this rating I would. 1 is the lowest so that’s what I give!
