AlphaNovel - Novels & Stories

I enjoy this app so much the stories are great but like all the others it gets pricey if you are as inpatient like I am. But overall it’s worth it.

Novel was great, kept me interested in the story enough to test out App Service. (Excused the grammar, misspelling, and random contextual errors in character names after author revealed that this is her 1st novel.). Downloaded app and extremely disappointing. As a trial, I purchased $19.99 in coins for a 2600 coins (2000 + 600 bonus) thinking I could evaluate and see if it was worth a subscription since reading a chapter was 30-40 coins a chapter I’d have plenty of coins for at least 2-3 novels for a month or so. The app does not have a viewable chapter breakdown, I couldn’t see how many chapters were in a novel or how many coins each chapter costs, and I can’t go back and re listen to or read the book in the library. To breakdown, once I completed this novel, each chapter was 6-7 pages, there was about 164-165 chapters, with each chapter averaging about 33-42 coins. So 5600+ coins to finish 1 novel you can’t re read or own. I did want to finish and got caught up in story so kept purchasing coins along the way, but didn’t know how many more chapters before it ended. The other reviews indicating $50 per book weren’t wrong. I did try watching ads and the daily reward activities for more coins but there are limits per day. Basically pushing for the weekly/monthly service as a subscription as the value proposition ($9.99 week for $520 per year???) No thanks. Great stories, but lots of other apps that are up front about cost structure and better customer experience.

The writing isn’t the best. Although I enjoy reading about werewolves, etc., I’m sick and tired of the omega, having no spine and no back bone, even though they end up being brought out of their nothingness to our place of superiority through humility.

I am very happy with first 6 chapters and cannot wait for more.

Not worth it. Downloaded the app and figured I’d just collect the daily free coins until I had enough to read the book all at once that I wanted but it will take over 1 and a half year to get enough coins to read it for free. Soooo stupid and I am not paying well over $50 for an amateur author’s book.

When I first downloaded the app it was great until I canceled my free trial. It won’t give me my free coins even though I read the amount it states to get them. I’m still stuck on stage 3 which is ridiculous! They also keep resetting my days of check in and they do not give me my 50 coins on day 7! They are ripping me off who knows how many others that aren’t paying attention.

I got hooked on this one book and I have been waiting four days for new chapters on Luna Lola. I would rate higher but I’m not sure this wouldn’t every time

Unless you’re okay with spending real money(and a lot of it) on mediocre stories, it’s probably best to not get this. I’m trying to read stories the free way and it’s very difficult, watching 15 adds for 5 chapters then when you can’t watch anymore adds the timer will make you come back either in 9 hours or 20 hours. It’s very odd and ultimately not worth it.

I am giving this app 4 stars! I should be giving it a lot less because of the coin cost and time to unlock each chapter is too long. However, out of multiple other apps I have experienced, this app has some of the best novels without having the constant misspellings and word confusion where you are having to try and figure out what is being said while reading. It also has the coin reward system and the ads you can watch in a row to earn more coins that seems to be more user friendly without all the errors other apps have. An important and wonderful thing about this app is that it hasn’t actually stolen my money or misled me into believing I was getting a free trial or subscription like another app (MYPASSION) ... When a subscription says “3 month Full Unlock”for $50…what does that mean🤔, it means I lost my $50 and got nothing. I tried to get a refund and it took them forever to even respond, I had to go through an AI email and request to speak to a human! Literally! So, when an actual person finally responded I was given the runaround, then told I shouldn’t believe what the subscription said, and denied. Excuse me…WHAT? Don’t download MyPassionNovel APP!! Anyways… The stories on AlphaNovel are really good and don’t disappoint. This app is also one of the better novel apps that I have found that has customer support 👍🏼that actually responds to you which is very important. Downsides that really need looking into…Yes, you have to use coins to unlock each chapter and it gets frustrating when you’re reading a great book and run out of coins then have to wait forever for a chapter to unlock that doesn’t give you enough content for the time countdown that you have waited to unlock the one chapter. Each chapters coin cost is different depending on how important the chapter is which IMO is sad when you realize you are shy 1 coin and have ran out of daily reading rewards and ads and can’t continue reading bc the coin cost of the locked chapter has doubled. IMO to be fair…the cost of coins needed to unlock a chapter should coincide (cost and time) with the countdown to unlock chapters. Instead of waiting a whole day for a “cheap filler” chapter to unlock then being disappointed with the content that really isn’t long enough, the time waiting should be cut in half or even less. I also believe the time frame of having to wait should be reduced. AlphaNovel help us out!! Its obvious that this is how you get users to purchase coins or memberships offered, but in the time I had to wait for my chapter to unlock…I ended up downloading another novel app, multiple actually, and found really good novels with better subscription offers and options minus the coin/ad rewards that you have. This app could be greater if we could get multiple chapters at a time instead of one super long unlock time for one chapter or the option of gaining/getting more free daily coins knowing that a chapter could cost 64 coins or 33. I wish there was a yearly actual FULL UNLOCK subscription option like I have also found with other apps. I have spent SO much money on this app just to be able to read ONE book I am trying to binge because it’s sooo good that I realize I could’ve bought a 30 book series or more from Amazon (which I have done). Also, I would love to be able to favorite an author or select to be notified of any upcoming releases of books in the series currently being read. I have also found that the Community Comments tab section is blank and I can’t do anything with it and when going into a book for the first time you aren’t able to click on and read the comments at all.

So far it hasn’t been to expensive and this is a great book
