I love joyread! The app there is for reading really great books! I pay a monthly fee and something happened and I can't get it to take my card anymore! Need help. I really need help. I love having the paying for the every three months. I am able to read what I want when I want. Yes, it may be a little expensive, but I enjoy these books. I don't like it when I clear my phone at night. The next morning will be 2 or three chapters that I had read the day before. If I'm being charged again,that ISN

TO EXPENSIVE. Started reading a good book. First 10 chapters were free. To continue you had to pay with coins or pearls. So, I went to rewards, collecting what I had earned. Went back to reading the book. Got a couple more chapters along. Around chapter 21. And couldn't go any further unless buying coins. So, I bought the $10.24 pack with 20% off coupon, came to $8 dollars and something. At around chapter 43 I am out of both coins and pearls and can go no further. TO EXPENSIVE!!! Will delete.

I have a couple issues with this app. First, the cost is insane. A monthly subscription with unlimited access wouldn't be terrible, but instead, you have to buy credits and unlock each chapter with a certain amount of credits. The credits for each chapter are different for each book and the books are never ending with hundreds of chapters each. Secondly, from what I have read the books are long, drawn out, and poorly written with cliché storylines. Do not waste your time or money on this app.

The story from the ad was ok. My biggest complaint is the cost. You have to buy coins/pearls to continue to read the story. For this one story is cost me $60. $20 for the monthly subscription and 2 different purchases of $20/ea for coins/pearls to complete the story. If this had been just a regular every day book I could have purchased it for Kindle for Android for less than $20. Not worth the price. If it was $20 monthly with unlimited reading I would happily pay it but it's not.

Don't waste your time or money. Saw an ad stating you can read for free which turned out you can either pay to unlock chapters or watch two 30 second ads for each "chapter" which are very short. At the beginning, the chapters are longer. As you read on, it gets shorter which would be equivalent to two pages on a book. In the end you can end up paying over $100 to read one book. It is a shame they have some good stories but how they have it structured is shameful. I ended up deleting the app.

This app is honestly a rip-off. They don't edit the books properly before posting them. I started reading a novel tha had over 300 chapters and it started great so I purchased enough coins/pearls to read the entire novel. After chapter 20 the novel started skipping chapters and some chapters were just missing and the story no longer made any sense. I got no help from customer service and then all of a sudden all the pearls I purchased disappeared and I couldn't use them. This is a complete waste

Chapters are too short. Not enough pearls with or without paying (they were also just decreased with the update). And for some reason, photo's of books keep showing up in my gallery even tho it says that the app has no camera access. I deleted about 80 of those photos from April.til now, and just deleted 5 more. I'm enjoying 1 of the books I'm reading; it's just too long with too many mistakes and short chapters. Bridgett

Go to amazon and buy a book. It'll be cheaper than buying tokens that don't get you far. When I did purchase the token packs they didn't last long because each chapter is like 25-30 tokens. The chapters are super short and you have to watch 2 videos to read them. The book I attempted reading was over 2,000 chapters. I'll clearly never get through it when I can only read 2 or 3 a day without paying a TON of money. I just don't think hundreds of dollars to read 1 book is worth it.

love this app the voice reading is grate the content is wonderful i have 2 problems witch is you can't lock you phone and keep Listening to the novel that and the cost. I have been reading the 1 book and doing all the things to get free pearls and having the subscription witch only unlocks max 6 to 10 chapters. I still have ended up spending over $400 to read this book i would lessen the cost of the chapters. Those would be the only thing that I would fix💕🖤💕

I've had this app for years. I liked the stories. Bad grammar and some translations were weird but the stories were interesting, even though they ALL follow the same storyline. I have to admit, I spent way too much money on this app. One thing that bothers me is that I unlocked an entire novel that I liked only to have the damn thing disappear some time later. I have no way of retrieving all the chapters I bought. So, DON'T bother making purchases. Only do the daily goals to unlock chapters.
