iReader-Story, Novel & E-book Reviews

by GuilTpleasr

So I’ll start with the good. Lots of books to choose from. Free first 7 chapters or so on every book enough to see if you like it first. And a few ways to earn some vouchers to unlock chapters.
Now for all the bad. So far I’m having a really hard time getting most of the ways to earn vouchers to work. An Example: I read today for 4 hrs yet it never even unlocked the 30 minute bonus.
If you paid for coins so you can read a book your probably going to have to spend $50 for enough coins to unlock 1 book on iReaderStoryNovelEbook. That’s a very expensive book lol.
And the last bad I can think of is that a lot of these stories are not easy to follow. Punctuation and grammar is all wrong. But there are a few really good stories mixed in too. Just have to go through a few to find the good ones.
iReaderStoryNovelEbook is just ok. I like a few of the stories but there are much better apps out there that offer the same thing as this one.

I wanted to read a book I seen advertised on Facebook. I looked it up and its 180 coins per chapter once it gets to chapter 6 (the chapters are super short) and so it's broken up into 200 chapters which is a little less then 36,000 coins. If 3000 coins are 5 dollars..... I mean.... That is wag beyond standard book costs. I can read mass amounts of books on Kindle with my 10 dollar subscription. You can buy a full ebook for less then 10 dollars in general outright. Why would anyone pay this to read these small chapters? That's insane. Are people actually paying for this? Why? From amateur writers that self edit and write 500 words a chapter and make you pay insane amounts for the whole book? That's a no from me. It is unreasonable.

I’m a totally blind student and I use VoiceOver on my iphone. Voiceover is a screen reader that is on the iphone for those who don’t know. I’m very disappointed With iReaderStoryNovelEbook. I found an story that really drag my attention, but many buttons within iReaderStoryNovelEbook are not accessible at all. Buttons are not lable correctly, which makes difficult to work with VoiceOver. I understand that I need to pay for books, but not even the option where I need to purchase for iCons or even getting free iCons is accessible with Voiceover. I wanted to purchase iCons to read a book that was interested to get, but at some point iReaderStoryNovelEbook crash on me. This make me think if I pay for the story then the story will not be worth my money because it will not be accesible for me if other buttons don’t work correctly.I will really appreciate it if you could make iReaderStoryNovelEbook accessible for Voiceover users. Hope you understand. Thanks so much!

Found app on Facebook after I read a portion of a page of the book “bullied”.
Pages were short, which isn’t too bad. Details were fine In that specific story but could be repetitive.
I made it to chapter five but the “costs” to read each chapter were getting expensive. I never used money but I watched ads 6 times, liked iReaderStoryNovelEbook on Facebook but to read ch 6 it was 160 vouchers and 20 coins. -.-
The previous chapter was only 80 vouchers.
I never spent a dime but surely enough I know I would have to soon if I kept reading cuz I’m a very impatient person. I’m sorry but for the 5 chapters I had read with the writing style of an amateur I could be on Wattpad instead.

While some of the stories are good, the cost isn’t. Telling readers that they can get i vouchers for ONLY 5 star ratings isn’t right. The developers should give out I vouchers for feedback and ratings of any kind. It’s very expensive to read an entire book, the chapters are very short compared to the cost. If someone does all of the daily tasks and then finds out that they didn’t “earn” enough to open the next chapter it’s super frustrating. Then add in that not only am I paying overinflated costs for the next few chapters, I’m also being asked to edit grammar/spelling with only one per day that actually earns me anything. Why not a tiered earning system? For instance, have your daily check in offer more rewards the more days you check in. So the first day you would get 1 “free” chapter, 2 free the second day, 3 free the third day etc, up to 30 days gives you 30 chapters. Also give an option to buy entire books for a substantial reduced cost over buying chapters.

UPDATE (july 19, 2021): (5 to 3 stars) I attempted to submit this as feedback but the feedback option repeatedly failed so…

Same problem I mention in my original post below: I’ve read over 90 mins today but it says I’ve only read 42. Given the expense of the chapters (make no mistake, this is way more expensive than any print published book I’ve ever purchase – and these books are often unedited and have poor grammar – but I have willingly made several purchases for interesting storylines), I do have an expectation that the reading bonuses/iVouchers would work in a significantly more timely (and accurate) manner. This is a daily frustration. So if there’s a trick, please advise!

****
Apparently the developers would like a 5-star review and then you receive extra vouchers. We shall see if that happens (it did!). My biggest issue is that the rewards for reaching don’t seem to work in any consistent way. I read for about 15-20 mins this afternoon and that wasn’t accounted for towards the vouchers. It would be great if that could be fixed. Or put a reward up that works without frustration maybe?

I got into a book and decided since it was one of the few well written books with few errors that it was worth a little money. I bought 6000 coins which was a little over $10 US. Even with the coupons, free coins for reading for certain amounts of time and bonus vouchers it was not enough to pay for one incomplete book. That’s way more than I would pay on kindle or in a book store for a paperback. They need to increase the ways to earn more vouchers and coupons, or reduce the chapter cost to a competitive price. With the amount of amateur writers or writers without English as a first language, they need to open up more opportunities for readers to submit corrections and get decent rewards, like enough for a free chapter or something more enticing that would help the authors and the readers both. I’m fine helping out, but give me something more than a few measly coins and don’t limit me. Even though I keep finding decent stories to read, I am not paying that much for just one book that needs a lot of editing and improvement and that I have to wait for the ending through many days of single chapter updates. I read too fast for that and it is frustrating! I think the concept is great, but if they make it reasonable and affordable they will compete better in the market. Unfinished and unedited books should be WAY cheaper than the completed and edited books.

by Kimbo010

It’s okay if you get one good story out of it but if you already have kindle unlimited it just won’t feel worth it. For example, I paid almost $30 for a 3 book series. Now that almost sounds like a good deal. Here’s the kicker! That series was basically half a good book when it was all put together. The story I read was pretty good but it needed A LOT of editing. Some paragraphs I had to piece things together and many words had hyphens in them that didn’t need hyphens. That was weird. I’ve finished my series/book/story and I want to give iReaderStoryNovelEbook a good try. The earning coins/vouchers thing I don’t really understand. I don’t know if I’m earning enough. Seems like a rough process. Like working working pennies. I’m going to give it one more story. Wish me luck.

EDITING:
Changing my review - after opening a second ticket, this one was responded to and the coins were credited to my account. The only thing that stops me from leaving 5 stars at this point is that the chapters are quiet expensive - coins go quickly and sometimes the freebies you get daily aren’t enough to get through more than 1 chapter if you don’t want to continue spending money. After more consideration, as long as I don’t continue encountering issues with paying for coins and not being credited for them if I decide to purchase more, I will be keeping iReaderStoryNovelEbook. A lot of the books I’ve read so far on iReaderStoryNovelEbook are very good.

Their feedback tickets state 1-2 days for response and its been past that - they don’t respond to their own feedback option and instead just take your money. Will unfortunately be deleting iReaderStoryNovelEbook once I finish the book I’m on and I will not be paying them for coins anymore until they can get these issues sorted out since it seems to be a common issue lately.

I enjoy being able to support authors that are aspiring and learning, which is exactly what iReaderStoryNovelEbook allows you to do. There are spelling, grammar, and other errors abound, but if you’re able to read past that, then there are some fantastic stories that are entertaining and original. I like how iReaderStoryNovelEbook allows you to edit or comment, whereas similar apps don’t have this feature. It’s fairly expensive for what it is, but I try and tell myself that it’s all going to the author, which I am not super sure about. There have been some times I’ve tried to “top up”, or replenish the funds in iReaderStoryNovelEbook , and it didn’t work and the recourse to get my money back was so ridiculous and exhausting that I decided it wasn’t worth the $10 I lost anyway. It’s not the best app out there but it’s certainly a decent one and I would recommend it to those who are willing or passionate to play copy-editor.

I love reading all these books I have read so fair. They all have caught my interest the only thing that bothered me that should be improved was how you would have to pay for things in order to continue reading after a certain amount. There are people like me who love to read books and stuff but do not have the money to pay. I think that should change or at least let it where we can watch a video or something for those who can’t pay to get everything so that they can read the stories. Other than that I love iReaderStoryNovelEbook and reading the stories but that’s the only thing that makes me not want it

by Ladeda34

This book was a page turner I was scrolling on fb and saw what looked like a extra long post then I discovered it was a page or two from a book that caught my interest I work over nights I thought to my self this should keep me awake I have the kindle app that has unlimited books but I haven’t used it in a while so I down load iReaderStoryNovelEbook and every other chapter I had to pay so iReaderStoryNovelEbook is far from free the book was good but the amount of money I spent was unexpected I will be deleting iReaderStoryNovelEbook it’s not for me and I’m a book reader but my unlimited kindle app will do just fine. On top of that I couldn’t tell if the book changed or was I reading a different chapter

by Fyrely

Great Stories, Need Editors and better translators. If I had the time I would correct every other paragraph, but I just correct the one’s translated so poorly they don’t even make sense.
Also, it’s a very high price to read these books compared to books wrote by established authors, that really confuses me? Also, some books are almost identical across these types of apps with small changes in names and settings being the only difference... obvious plagiarism? Even though the rules say they won’t published plagiarized books?? Idk, too many questions, not enough answers or ways to make contact.

by Joyful Flame

I absolutely LOVE iReaderStoryNovelEbook. The only downside is that the stories cost so much to read, so i spend a month earning my rewards and then i can read more chapters for my book.. but it’s totally worth it. If i wasn’t broke id probably top up more often, BUT then again probably not, cause it costs me more money to read a book on iReaderStoryNovelEbook then it does to buy an actual book. Also, requiring a 5 start rating for 60 vouchers to read on is stupid... it should be “vouchers for rating” if i could id give it a 4 star because of the cost of the books. But a girl needs her vouchers.

by Triss2014

So I’m gonna start off saying that iReaderStoryNovelEbook could have some improvements done to it. First off while I appreciate the correct button where I can submit corrections, I’m here to read not edit. Also while I like the task to where I can refill my vouchers but I also feel like maybe they could also incorporate where a free chapter unlocks every couple of hours... I feel like maybe there would be more readers if you didn’t have to pay to try and get through a book

by VanessaS3267

Im addicted to it and can’t stop reading .It’s great I just wish I didn’t have to spend much money I think it would be better if coins and vouchers would refill after some time. I’ve spent $20 on one book and I’m afflicted because I love the story and am addicted. There is a reward system that is pretty nice. Also how an episode for 102 coins/vouchers is high when you only start of with about 300 or 600, and have to buy more to actually play you can get some by checking in but you’d have to accumulate them over time.

by GingerSnapp2000

I have never been much in reading because I could never find the books that I liked. Well I have now found the books that I LOVE to read. My phone hasn’t been put down in days and with that I’m addicted to these stories. What makes this bad is that after so much reading you run out of points and the only way to really continue is by purchasing which can get expensive really. Thankfully my hubs reigns me in because I would probably spend a lot of money on here. I do want to add though that some of the stories you can tell are translated because not all of the translations make sense but other than that I have still enjoyed it!

by Ninja Wife

Really surprised at how it is a good app. One thing that I’m not too happy about is that it is expensive for the points or whatever it is they use to pay for the chapters. I know of cheaper ones that have awesome books too. But I found this one book that I couldn’t find anywhere else which was sad because I have so many of these apps just for a book here and a book there. It’s like I spends $20-$30 on 2 1/2 books and to me it’s steep but I had to read the book because it was good.

by Misshotshoe

I’ve had no problem spending my money to get coins and vouchers. Every time I get paid I always buy the 9.99 bundle because I like to have the coins and vouchers there just in case I find a book I want to read instead of waiting for unlocked chapters. So today I go to earn my rewards and imagine my surprise when I open app more than 1500 vouchers just gone and over 6000 of MY coins gone with no explanation. I really love iReaderStoryNovelEbook but that’s my money you took. If they don’t fix this I’ll be deleting iReaderStoryNovelEbook and put my money in Dreame app. At least they don’t take my money!!! So disappointed

by Crazy Colie

I see now how iReaderStoryNovelEbook gets all the 5 star ratings. If you want more vouchers to get further in the book you have to give it 5 stars. It’s not an awful app but it’s very hard to like it when books by very known authors are cheaper than these books. Their fun reads but not worth $20-$40 if not more for these. It’s a rip off. Having to pay for every chapter and very very short chapters I might add. I already paid $5 and it got me hardly anywhere in the book and wants more to try and finish the book. That’s pretty harsh how you guys get people and having them pay for books that don’t even cost close to these in book store and other apps. It’s a shame. Shame shame.

by MamiTamiCami

I was hook is this book for awhile until I realized I’m been paying to much money already. Also every chapter is so short, I don’t know if they did in purpose because you paying by chapter. Also some of the translations made me confused about Using their he/she.

by Faithjames

A lot of sentences I could not understand. And the worst of it all, I paid 10usd for a book and it wasn’t finished yet! I will delete iReaderStoryNovelEbook! Waste of money!

by TLCsMom

When you hit purchase all chapters, but still have to purchase more chapters after reading less an 20 short chapters. I have hit purchase all chapters at least 10 times, and the purchase 100 chapters I don’t know how many times. I should have been able to purchase the whole book multiple times. Granted, the book is good, I should not spend that much on a book!!!! EVER!

by Carodela

I get things get lost in translation so I’m not to mad about that, what I do not appreciate is that when I go to buy “coins” , iReaderStoryNovelEbook doesn’t connect to my iTunes. It a little upsetting when I’ve been invested in a story. I’ve had plenty of reading apps without this issue without the hassle of having to make out what is really going on I. A story. It’s a no star for me. The stories seem interesting but I will never know.

by Yaya2872

Hi i keep getting to be continued. I cant finish the book. And also the characters names in the book changed and is difficult to follow the storyline. I already invested allot in this book.. did i just got ripped off?

by AliGirl13

It advertises books in English, yet when I downloaded iReaderStoryNovelEbook there wasn’t an option for English. Can’t understand anything. Very annoying.

by Pookie7388

What are icoins I got hooked on a book and every chapter seems to ask if I want to Co to ur reading I have to pay 54 icoins so I have paid about 5 chapters and then came to my senses but don’t know what it means and how much it is and yes it’s all in Chinese or Japanese don’t know what they are asking

by Sarmtr

by JayMT34608

I am so excited about a novel on iReaderStoryNovelEbook but iReaderStoryNovelEbook will not let me purchase coins! I’ve redownloaded and did all the typical trouble shooting and setting changes. Please help! I want to read more!

by Kitek Kitek

Daily I voucher is very little and 1) enough for one chapter or2) not even 1 chapter forcing you to buy more if you want to read at all or more than one chapter a day

by Aaa Ashy

There are some really short chapters that are a waste of icons and vouchers. There are a lot of mistranslation for genders and the names of characters are really weird.
