Sofanovel - Novels and Stories Reviews

by Shirley Is Surely Frustrated

I started using Sofanovel a couple weeks ago when I read a sample of one of the books on Facebook. 3 days ago the book and my account stopped loading when I try to read on Sofanovel . It just spins and times out. Last night it finally loaded but today it is back to not working. So I have money and time into this book I want to read but I can’t.

I have tried every avenue to connect with support with no response. I will try to finish this book because it is in my DNA to finish and the book itself is good. However, having a good book is just frustrating if you can’t access it🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️. If I don’t get to access it soon I will delete Sofanovel and never use it again.

I’m a Wattpad writer and I got a message saying they want to have my book, but when I went on there they wanted my ID card number and other very personal information and that raises a red flag me. They do offer pay for your work in a contract, but that wouldn’t require your social number instead of a credit card number so I’ll keep an eye on this to see if it changes for the better, but until then I’m not doing business here

Wouldn’t allow me to collect pearls, and when I tried to contact them it would let me send the message. Waste of time and money and they want access to too much info on my phone

Was suckered into this by an ad in Google saying I can read a full story for free ... You can't. This is just like all the other pay to read apps. I've only found one that lets you read a story for free, as long as you watch a short ad between each chapter....wish this one was like that.

When I click the icon to open Sofanovel it crashes. Normally, it happens at least 4 times before Sofanovel will open. Once it opens and I click on a book, it says loading but nothing happens. It spins but never loads the book. Books aren’t loading and app crashes a lot.

It keeps trying to get money out off my card even when my card kept saying that it keeps declining it every 30 minutes because it doesn’t trust it which it’s starting to seem like a scam and I’ve tried unsubscribing it but there wasn’t an unsubscribe button on the website or on Sofanovel .

Downloaded Sofanovel cuz I got sucked into a story on a Facebook ad. I was really enjoying the story but could only read a couple chapters before you need coins to unlock more. You don't even get enough daily coins to unlock one chapter. And your coins disappear. I had 15 coins this morning and when I opened Sofanovel later in the day all of my coins were gone. I'm not paying $20+ for a story when I can find similar ones free elsewhere

There are countless amazing stories; everyday I discover a new one to love and fangirl over. It’s also a delight to be able to comment on stories, to share your opinion, praise the author, relate to the characters, or just add a funny little remark.  ​ ‍​ ‌

It has so many great and amazing stories for free and it also gives many new authors including myself an opportunity to express themselves so I just think this is amazing and I would definitely recommend this to anyone.     ‌

I wish they would include how often the novel updates or when the novel is expected to update but overall Sofanovel is pretty good.

Sofanovel is amazing it gives you so many reading options by all different authors. It’s amazing because you get to read people’s stories who have such and amazing imagination and wonderful writing skills. Everyone on Sofanovel is a star everyone’s writing is magnificent. It also gives you a chance to meet people who share the same interests in stories as you do!This is amazing highly recommend.

In my opinion, this is an exquisite reading tool, simple and fresh page style, exquisite and real page turning effect. At the same time, the books inside are very interesting, and the content is very attractive to me! The price is cheaper than other readers I downloaded before!

It's a really good app and I don't have trouble loading every update most of the time it is amazing. Beautiful place to share your thoughts. ♥️‍  ‍     ​

Ok, I first found this app through a Romantic Novel called “The Billionaire's Surrogate”.I like the plots of this book, especially the male protagonist in it. Thank you so much for making this amazing app! 🧡💛💚

I like to read love stories a lot so Sofanovel is perfect and I barely have adds! I like how you can create your own stories. It's a great app in general! AND FINALLY I MUST SAY PLEASE UPDATE HER REVENGE AS FAST AS YOU CAN OK?​

So I noticed that when I’m on Sofanovel , I can’t dedicate any chapters I upload but on Sofanovel I can. I would really appreciate it if you guys made it so we can dedicate chapters or books to others on Sofanovel . I know that the others on this app would appreciate it as well. I do love this app, but my screen has been glitching and all that.

The interface design is soooo beautiful it's very easy to operate Thanks to the team

Sofanovel has a lot of work to do if it hopes to be anything close to other writing apps/websites such as Wattpad, Fanfiction.net, Quotev, or AO3. First of all— there’s no way to customize your profile. If I don’t want to have my real name on my profile, it seems like I’m out of luck because you can only log in with Facebook, Twitter, or Apple, so your name would have to be something different on there. Second, it seems like there’s no way for readers to engage with authors and vice-versa. One of the most essential parts of writing is consumer feedback, but there’s no comment section, way to message the author, follow them, or see if they’ve written other works. It’s a sure means of discouraging writers from continuing their stories. Third, the entire interface seems like a poor imitation of Wattpad. Not only do they have the same orange, white, and black color scheme, but the rest of Sofanovel just seems like they went “Yeah, let’s copy it but change a few things so it doesn’t seem too obvious.” Fourth, I’m confused as to how to search bar is supposed to work. I tried searching “teen” and nothing appeared. Maybe it’s because there are so few stories on here that it doesn’t have much to show, but I was struggling with finding results.

I could go on, but I’m going to stop here. I believe I have said enough. Sofanovel has potential but its sloppiness overshadows that potential.
