4.6 out of 5
At a loss…

Not sure what I got myself into when I purchased the unlimited month subscription but it’s only been great with the first story where I read Millennium Wolves. The only completed book I could go through and it was great, loved the work. But after that, every other story I checked out had a cliffhan... Show more

Greedy.. but decent app

The music that you can’t regulate is so frustrating and frankly bad, and completely unfitting of the situation. I think that Galatea could make so much money, even more than they already are, if they weren’t so greedy. By making people wait six hours, people lose interest and move on with their li... Show more

Wanted to Love it

I do like Galatea but its flaws have become glaringly obvious to the point I might delete. The stories are good and the additional sounds to give more depth is nice. Then unfortunately a lot of the books I have enjoyed are unfinished or waiting to continue the next book. Which I have multiple read... Show more

Some improvement

This is an update:
When I began using Galatea , to gain points without paying was a little ridiculous. We only got 1 point for comments and 2 points for viewing their ads- Of course you were only allowed one chapter every 24hr. Truthfully speaking this was the reason why I gave myself a break f... Show more

Points

I used to love Galatea. I got to read a ton of interactive stories at once. Very addictive. I could leave a comment after each one. It’s 10 points to move on to another chapter. I MIGHT get 20 points in a day which means I can only move on two times in a story. Which isn’t enough because when you’... Show more

Trying something new......

I’m an avid reader and love a good paperback and my kindle but wanted to try something different. Chose Galatea at random from a pop up advertisement on Facebook. Sometimes you just need a quick easy read and I thought that this would provide that. The book that caught my attention is good, exact... Show more

Cool idea! Buggy app though.

I discovered Galatea yesterday and thought it was such a cool idea that I bought the unlimited subscription today, but I’ve had to reinstall Galatea several times because it’ll freeze when trying to open new chapters. I also had an issue where some of the “points” I bought to try Galatea never l... Show more

Good Concept, But Getting Annoying

Let me just say, I love that the wait times have been shortened from 24 hrs to 6 hrs, and I’ve had Galatea for 2 years. However, I have a few issues: First, the grammar. The past few stories I have read have had awful grammar and spelling errors. Even a story I read a while back and lost (because ... Show more

Good app overall!😁

I want to start off by saying that I think Galatea is really entertaining. The story that I am reading is fun to read and I look forward to reading everyday. But, there is one thing that I don’t like. Personally, I like to read these like of stories and get lost in them and read to the very end. B... Show more

Love the app, just needs some tweaks

I would give Galatea a 4.5 because of the way it captivates you how Galatea has the music in the background that makes the reader feel engaged with what they are reading, and have the reader also feel apart of the story. The stories themselves are very interesting, detailed, and exciting to the p... Show more

Some great books!

I’ve read about 20 (give or take) books now and I must say, as long as you’re picking genre of books that will interest you, there are some great reads! A few have been too boring for me and I couldn’t finish them, but definitely more that were great and captured me right to the end. A couple of th... Show more

Room for improvement

I think most people here hit spot on the annoyance of waiting until the next day for access to the next episodes. Overall, the concept is great. I enjoy the stories, though they vary from what the authors published, if previously published. The interactive concept is neat, helps set the tone of the... Show more

You got me hooked

You got me hooked with the story in your ad … The Millennium Wolves. I decided to download Galatea and was pleasantly surprised. I checked out your other books and picked 5 more from different genres to start reading. They all are great stories. I’ve finished one already. I do have a problem with ... Show more

Great App ~ Some Horrible Things

When I first started reading on Galatea, I thought it was going to be something a bit boring, but I was wrong! I love all the books that this app has. From their werewolf novels to the human life! There’s some things, though, about Galatea that I don’t really enjoy. For example, the point system... Show more

Great App needs some improvement

First of all, if I could give Galatea a 4.5 stars instead of 4 I would. I love all of the books that I am reading thus far. I love how captivating they are with the sound and even some haptic stuff as well.
I think it makes Galatea really original that way. My only issue with Galatea would ha... Show more

Every app has its cons👎🏻❣️and pros👍🏻🥰

The reason i downloaded this app app was that I fell in love with the “the millenuam wolves” while it was played as an add. After, I found many more interesting story’s like “alphas call” or “the werewolf chronicles” and many more. Another reason I fell in love with Galatea is that it’s free even... Show more

Amazing!

I was playing a game on my phone when an ad for this app’s “The Millennium Wolves” popped up. It showed a quick preview of the story, and I was immediately hooked. This was two or three days ago. Fast forward to today, I’ve finished about thirty chapters and cannot get enough. This story is so bea... Show more

Great Stories!! I LOVE having such a variety to choose from!!

I love the stories, but there’s some glitches on this update!! I’ve been setting a 6 hour timer on my phone so that I know when it’s time for a new chapter, however there’s been more times now than I can count on my hand that instead of unlocking the next chapter I’ve waited on there’s just a black... Show more

Alpha of the millennium

I love reading Galactica novels and I would love to continue my reading but she won’t allow me to put my new credit card in my bank card and I don’t understand that it’s on my old one I need to make sure you have my new account so that in the future I decide I want to continue on with chapters whic... Show more

Life changing

Not even going to lie. This changed my life. I went from sleeping while reading the first few words on a book to reading 9 different stories from books at a time.
Galatea is the best. Maybe it’s the immersive part of story reading I like or the sound effects while reading each story or even th... Show more

Money Hungry

Okay first of all, I love the stories I’m reading. I also think this is a great set up and a really good idea however Galatea has not been executed well. The amount of money you have to pay (if you don’t want to wait) for the next chapters, can equal the price of a whole book and yet you still onl... Show more

My opinion

I like Galatea , I think it has great potential because I love the idea that you can hear music or nature while reading. It makes you feel more connected to the story. I don’t like that we have to wait so long for the next chapter though. Who stops reading a good book after a single chapter? If we ... Show more

Disappointed

I’ve had lots of story type apps (mostly the game versions), but I was especially hopeful with this one because of how interactive it is. Of course like everyone else, I’m not a big fan of the long wait times, especially considering each chapter is so short on top of that. The point system is ok to... Show more

Great stories but a few problems

I just recently downloaded Galatea. I was very excited to read but I am not satisfied with how it works. The wait for new episode I believe, is too long. People are not going to want to wait for the amount of time that you have given. I for one, like to binge read and waiting an hour olor two is o... Show more

Interesting Concept, but honestly annoying

So I get it, I really do. An app designed to allow short daily reads to fit into a busy schedule. Maybe this concept appeals to a younger generation, one where they want a quick 10 minute break and then to get back to their busy life, and maybe don’t like to read a lot. I do too; but the difference... Show more

Wanting more

So to titles this “wanting more” for a couple of reasons. First, I do enjoy the stories available (at least the ones I have read). Some are certainly better than others, but that’s like any book out there. So, when reading and you reach the end of the chapter, you want more! I like that there are n... Show more

Beckoned, persuaded, and converted!!!

I downloaded Galatea quite begrudgingly. Advertising on Instagram for the story on Galatea led me to the story on Wattpad (which pointed me to Galatea ), but then I scrounged for it on the Inkitt website (which pointed me to Galatea ). Good job!

After I painstakingly read the story I was ... Show more

Great Reading Material, with a few issues.

The books have amazing context, and are extremely well written. I love Galatea overall, and like other reviews that I have read the only issue I have lies within the point system. I understand the idea behind it, and the reason why it isn’t easy to obtain points. However, I wish there was an optio... Show more

Great selection of books

I like reading books using Galatea. I think it’s a genius idea. There’s a wide selection of genres and I like that. However, I don’t like reading little increments of the story each day. When I start reading a book, I like to read at a rapid pace. There has to be another way to hook your readers ... Show more

Love but difficult

I kept see this add on Wattpad for the werewolf store so I downloaded it to test it out, read the first chapter and immediately feel in love, Galatea has music and vibration and stuff to match what your reading. The only thing I hate is the point system, on Wattpad I can read a book till it’s fini... Show more

Subscription

Hello, I gave my feedback earlier on April 12 and why I do like that you have ideas for more ways to get points, I feel that if you have a subscription more people might not do it and have to wait and then eventually lose interest in waiting even though your amazing stories are totally worth it I s...

First this is totally great app, Thank you for that. But I’m somewhat disappointed with the customer service and promises.

Here’s the gist: -the “chapters” on this app are barely a page of a real book. -Nearly every chapter leaves on a “cliff hanger” and most of which aren’t even addressed in the following chapter. -you must wait 6 hours to read a “chapter” unless you want to pay to skip the wait. -the subscription of ...

I have joined Galatea and bought some points. More than enough for the book. I then downloaded the book. I can’t access it. Keeps going back to the beginning. I am use to Amazon where I get the book instantly. Why can’t I access the book? Have I done something wrong?
