GoodNovel - Web Novel, Fiction

Overall, there are a lot of good novels. However, the biggest issue I have is that as you get into more chapters, the amount of coins to buy those chapters increases faaar too much. Webtoons has 1 set price for their pages. I'd much rather have the option to buy the novel as a whole at that point. The upcharge of coins per chapter really makes me want to find a different app, but I want to finish the novel too 😪

The absolute worst app Ive ever used. These people are running a scam to get your money. At first its free but it doesnt stay that way. Theres no way to finish a book without paying. By the time you finish a book you'll need to have spent at least $50 or more. Some novels never end. They dont answer your questions. Oh you can ask questions but they close your req and call it "completed" without saying anything. Just the worst. Plus they give coins for 5 star reviews. All bought and paid for.

I bought the monthly subscription for 24.00 something. I used all of the coins within 2 days and now I have to wait a whole month just to get more coins to read the book. hardly seems fair. I can go buy a new book for around 20.00 or a bit more. yet here I am spending more money on a book that has spelling errors and can't get their own characters names correct in the sequence. It is a really good book but with how long it is I would probably spend well over 100 just to get half way through.

I love to read and I see apps pop up with books as ads all the time on social media. This app has a much wider variety of books then some of the others. I like the app minus having to pay so much to finish a book... I honestly wish you could just spend a set dollar amount for the book based off of how many chapters or something... cuz I can read through a whole book in 1 day if I have nothing else going on... and it gets pretty pricey

I love this app. I want to say It has great story's But im stuck on "Married at first sight", which definitely makes you want to read more. The reason I gave 4 stars instead of 5, in my opinion it requires too many points. It's 28 points a chapter. However, the chapters are very short. It is pointless to read one chapter at a time. However, you lose points after a few days, so you can't save them. To really engage with the books, you have to buy points which can become very costly.

Overall a good reading app but can become very expensive with no coupon options or rewards to gain for reading over a period of time (20 mins, 30 mins, etc). The daily rewards are only 20, not enough for one chapter. I have only read one book and its very short chapters are 35 coins each. There needs to be a variety based on length of the chapter.

The stories I've read are great reads. They definitely have a few typos and could use some editing, but the stories are so good that they don't take much away from the overall reading experience. The coin system is just crazy. I would like to suggest switching to a monthly subscription where you have unlimited access to at least 1 book of your choice for the month and anything extra you can pay with the coin system y'all already have in place. Potentially... just an idea.

Good, fun reading app. Easy to use and navigate. You do have to pay to re-up your coins faster and increase how much you can read, but the prices in bulk aren't totally outrageous and even someone with a little money can get at least 10 or so chapters a week for about $10/week. You can buy a subscription for cheaper and get a good deal too it just depends on what you're looking to spend and get. Overall, it's a nice app, and the stories are great and intriguing. A lot of overlap in genres, too.

Thought this was a free site. Can't find the free books. The search is ineffective at best. It's not. Trying to check in doesn't work great, the videos you need to watch to get coins are sluggish at best. The coins that it takes to read a chapter or section is a lot. I wish I could just find a book and read it--FOR FREE. The counter that tells how long you read isn't correct. If you fixed that, I would raise the rating. The timer for reading still isn't working. Fix your issues please.

I recently discovered the Good Novel app, and I must say, it's been a delightful experience. The app boasts an impressive collection of novels across various genres, ensuring there's something for every reader. The user interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, making it a breeze to find new titles or continue reading where I left off. Plus, the community features add an extra layer of enjoyment, allowing me to interact with fellow readers and authors. Overall, Good Novel has become my go-to

$60 or more for ONE book??!! NO WAY!! I started reading a story, then had to buy credits to continue it; ok, no problem. I spent $19.99 for 2,000 credits. Still hadn't finished the book before my credits were used up. Ok, that's a little too expensive but we'll buy 2500 more credits at $24.99 to top up one more time. That should get me through the book, right? NOPE!! I'm still not through the whole book but I don't have enough coins to finish it. These books are absolutely not worth $60 plus!

It has some good novels. I have changed my rate on this app. I have been trying to cancel a subscription and this customer service have done nothing but make it difficult to cancel it. I have been getting charged $10 weekly. I would not recommend this app for reading. If you do decide do not purchase anything from this app. I have sent 7 emails in responding back to them and still they insist on giving me instructions. When I try the instructions it does not work. So they just send me runaround.

chapters are short, and free reading takes a bit of effort and a lot of time, averaging about 2 free chapters a day if you get as many coins as possible. however, the coins (and therefore chapters) are fairly inexpensive compared to other apps. if you have the extra time, or money, it's a good app, but if you don't want to deal with the disgustingly low amount of free content (ad chapters are uncommon so far, but they exist), I might find a different app. good stories, though.

I would give more stars because it's been a great app several ads to read several chapters at a time but the issue that earned only 3 stars is that after you offered a great deal for 600 coins for $1.99 I no longer get any ads for free reading and the earned rewards aren't enough to ready anything. I was able to finish a great story but now I must debate if your app is worth keeping or not. It's really bad coming to this discovery!

Way too many coins required for each novel. Each book has hundreds of chapters that cost more and more to unlock. You can not earn enough to open one chapter per day. Each chapter is about equivalent to one page in a book. This makes a cheap novel I could buy for $7.99 in a store cost two or three times that on good novel. It does allow you to watch ads to unlock chapters, but the ads take longer to watch than the "chapter" takes me to read. It's too bad because the books I started were good.

I unfortunately have to remove a few stars. Everything I said below is still true, but I made the mistake of "topping up." After I used the coins I bought, I realized that I could no longer get the "free" chapters by watching the ads. I love the way the stories are written. While I prefer certain genres, I have yet to find a badly written book. I would prefer that the rewards paid out more coins, but I do understand the logistics. I do, however, wish that I could sync my phone with my tablet.

There's no reading slump to be had. There's a great variety. And the reccomendations are actually really good. Its very easy to earn coins. While all this is true, once you make a purchase it seems aa though watching ads to get free chapters is over. Now you can only buy chapters and it doesn't seem to let you update your payment method at all.
