Storysome - Completed Story Reviews

by 1234000read00

If I could give Storysome zero stars I would. Their customer service is atrocious!! And their system is supremely flawed!! I tried to purchase the next chapter for a story I was reading and was given an error message telling me the payment didn’t go through. So I tried again bc I live in a rural area and it’s not uncommon for me to lose signal and cause error messages such as that. The next time I was shown the loading screen for a couple of minutes followed by...nothing. The funds were not credited to my account and come to find out, I’d been charged TWICE.
I followed the instruction on Storysome , and sent the customer service a message asking politely for my money back along with a screenshot showing the two charges, and was told someone would be in contact in 1-2 days. It’s been FOUR DAYS and I haven’t heard a peep.
They are going to take your money! Don’t download Storysome!!!

Storysome takes your many and I’ve read many reviews on this after the fact that it took mine. Storysome only lets you read a certain percent of the books for free until your “coins” and “vouchers” are up. They say vouchers equal coins which doesn’t work either. You try to purchase coins, oh they purchase but you don’t get the coins. Spent $8 realizing this. They tell you to email them or contact them is this is a problem, but wait! The email doesn’t work and the whole website is in another language and even when you do find the chat for help, they don’t respond. How curious, right? Only reason Storysome has so many 5 stars is because if you give Storysome 5 stars, you get coins! What a nice scam.

I won’t rate a 5 star when it’s not earned. Storysome gives off ivouchers so you can read. You got the option to buy those. What I found is to get higher ratings it states rate 5 stars to earn a certain amount of ivouchers to be able to read, and while books are okay there is a ton of grammatical errors. I feel the way this company gets more people in is by us rating high up so that we can keep reading and they can be at the top of the totem pole for books as well as try to get people to buy, which personally I don’t see worth it. On the other note with the way things are worded even why I try to go in to report this to the company it won’t allow me to do highlight the specific sentence or word that is misspelled or in the wrong context.

I downloaded Storysome after reading a short excerpt from an ad on Facebook. I was hooked! As I really enjoy reading these stories and don’t find paying a little more for material that I love. So I bought the whole book right there on the spot. I spent $30 on a icoin pack and downloaded the whole book. I was only maybe a quarter into the book when one day I accidentally signed into my account using Facebook. I guess they call it binding your account. My account didn’t bind. 😩 I was signed into my old account. And my coins didn’t transfer over. And the book that I paid for in full didn’t transfer neither!! So of course as I go to read my book I am met with “unlock this chapter for this many coins” pop up. 😠 Why?? I paid for the whole book!

So I contacted customer support. Radio silence for at least 3 days. I finally go to see why no response.. and I see someone had written me back in a chat but I didn’t get a notification!! I wrote them back giving them the details they asked for.. nothing for another 2 days. Now I’m told it’s the wrong info. I even sent them screenshots of the full email so they could maybe find what they were looking for. Because I wasn’t seeing what they were asking for. I even just emailed ireader support and got one response and still nothing!! I just want to read the book without having to pay for it twice! Is that so much to ask for? It shouldn’t be this hard to get this straightened out. 😩😩

I have found several stories on Storysome that I absolutely cannot put down! The only issue I have is how expensive it is to read them. Every chapter requires so many of their version of points. Once you run out of points you have to purchase more. I’ve stupidly spent over $50 on the coins so I could keep reading. It cost more to read one of the books on Storysome than it does to buy an actual, physical, edited, published book!! Once I’ve realized that I have stopped purchasing coins. They do have check-in rewards, but the option to gain the free reward coins are minimal and it takes days worth to accumulate. Then it’s 1 to 2 chapters later that the free coins have been used up again. Rate Storysome 5 stars and you get so many of the reward coins (hence why Storysome has such a high rating). It is rather annoying, especially when you find a book that is very good. Love the books, and that people can use the site to share their stories. But it’s way too expensive in the long run for readers.

So I enjoy the books, I think it’s a bit much per chapter after you get through the free chapters. I understand it’s to pay the writers but there are so many of these app out there that you can pick and choose. This one has pretty solid options to earn coins which is really nice but they go fast. I have yet to purchase coins because I’d rather wait and make up the amount I need before buying. Graphics and navigation of Storysome are great, gives you the page flipping feel.

This rating is simply for the vouchers to finish a story I’ve gotten into. I have many reading apps but this one has to be one of the worst. One of my biggest pet peeves is that I can’t claim the vouchers for ads due to where the “x” ends up at the end of the ad. It’s impossible to click it — leaving me forced to restart the entire app instead. There are good stories on here if you give them a chance. I actually enjoy a few of them. It’s a great place for authors to grow in to where they want to be. The issue is how many vouchers each chapter takes so trying to read an entire book takes FOREVER and will cost you a pretty penny if you start paying out of pocket to finish them. I wouldn’t mind spending money if Storysome didn’t do the bare minimum for its users, but it’s clear Storysome is here for $$$$ and not for the readers. Otherwise rating 5 stars wouldn’t be a voucher incentive to deceive people in to downloading it.

by Emme Crazy

Storysome is incredible with lots of amazing stories but in order to read the stories you have to pay in ivouchers and it is very hard to get 108 ivouchers to read the chapter because the company keeps lowering the amount of ivouchers you can receive - I feel like if they raised the price for ivouchers a lot more people would want to read chapters in- on Storysome. Read at your own risk, if you want to wait 2 days to receive 108 ivouchers than wait 2 days if not I would not recommend Storysome.

by Mrs. T Russell

I find it funny actually how they’re asking me for a five star review every month or so in order to give me vouchers. Now don’t get me wrong, this is actually one of two book apps that I find it worth spending money on once a month. But as far as writing a five star review every month or so, yeah, I’m sorry but even if it does get me vouchers I don’t think the same people should continue to write reviews that often. I don’t know. I could be wrong, there could actually be a very good reason behind it.

The 5 stars is for the stupid coins.

The editing is horrible in these fan fics and I’m stuck on one book that I thought I’d finish today but turns out NOPE have to check in tomorrow for more chapters. Why can’t they just release the entire book and have one set coin price for it? This whole “check in tomorrow” for chapters when I just want to know if the mates end up together in the end is HORRIBLE! I wish I can finish this book as it was actually good story telling (besides the spelling errors and grammatical errors) guess now I can’t 😭 super disappointed! This is a rip off.

Storysome is ok I guess, I use other reading apps I prefer over this one. Only using it due to a book I found on Facebook that I couldn’t find on my other apps. You don’t get enough ivouchers and the amount it cost to read a book is crazy compared to other apps. The chapters are also short casting you too spend more, I am almost 50 bucks in and still not finished with the book. Not worth it, needs to be realistic as you can go to the store and buy a book way cheaper also other bigger apps have better services and prices.

by NicolePaterson

Yes, I am rating Storysome five stars. However, the incentive to do so was that I would get vouchers to read more chapters. This is a fine app, the only issue I have with it is that it takes forever to collect enough vouchers to read chapters. I want to read more without having to buy them all the time. I’m already spent some money on the coins, but they don’t last long. The books themselves are great, but I can even read anything but every 5 days or so before I earn enough coins to read anything.

by Mom! With No Time

I got sucked into a book that was advertised on Facebook so thought I would give it a try. I hate not finishing a book. I’ve tried a couple of these apps and so far this book is at least edited some. That said, the amount of coins needed to open chapters is way higher than other similar apps. I like to read a novel in a week or less. I’m not sure how to finish this in under 6 months based on how many daily coins you get and are needed to open chapters. This is probably my first and last book then Storysome will be deleted. They need to make the books more accessible over shorter periods of time.

First off I’ll be honest- the 5 star rating is for the free coins. I haven’t used Storysome enough yet to determine what my real rating would be, but I am enjoying the stories it offers.
The chapters are short and it does cost a lot to unlock them, but most of the apps similar to this one have the same kind of system. I usually end up losing interest in paying more overall to get through a book on these apps (no matter how much I like it) than I would pay in a store buying an entire series, so for longevity’s sake I would recommend a better and more competitive price strategy for unlocking chapters.

I know some people complain about paying for money to read but I’ll look at it like I will go to the store and buy a bulk and then I have to find somewhere to try to store it I like the fact that I could just read it and then when I’m done with it either leave it in my library or dispose of it from the library saves on trees and so many other things but also wanna point out that you are supporting new and upcoming authors so just think about if you started something, you would want people to support you. Thank you to all the authors who take their time to bring some great stories

As someone else said you can’t get free vouchers without the five star rating. However, I have a few of these book apps downloaded and this one is one of the better ones because you can purchase multiple chapter packages instead of just one chapter at a time. Also the chapters are priced high but you get a lot more vouchers for your money so it isn’t as bad. Another site I read you have to pay 10 coins per chapter, no other option and the coins are stupid expensive. This site also allows you to eat more free vouchers each day than some others. It could do better and drop the price a bit more or offer more free ones but overall it’s not bad.

by She Wolf At Heart

OK so do you mean reason why I downloaded this was because of a book ad I found on Facebook I download Storysome and I look for the book that I found on Facebook that completely hugged me and it doesn’t exist only reason I gave five star reading was for the points I would get so I can finish a story that I am on. I do not recommend downloading Storysome it lets you read a really good book at first and then right when it starts getting interesting it’s like oh now it’s gonna cost like 350 coins to like read the next chapter and you’ve only got 60 in your piggy bank thing because you only just got Storysome so that you start a lot of books but it won’t let you like finish them not easily now without buying coins which is annoying

I believe that advertising that you will give an incentive for 5 star reviews only is against the rules. I don't love Storysome, actually. I have started a book though and am one of those people who cant feel comfortable with a half-finished story.

The books featured here are unedited and usually sound like they have been poorly translated from a foreign language. Lots of erotica, if ur into that. My real issue is that it's taking FOREVER to read a book if u don't want to pay. Each day you check in, you have the opportunity to “Claim a free prize” (aka vouchers) with which to purchase another chapter of your book.

However, each day I choose one of the hidden cards to flip, mine is the lowest possible number. At this rate, it will take me 10 days of checking in just to gain access to a chapter which takes me 10 minutes to read.
I will spend 3 months attempting to read an OK book, riddled with spelling errors and major plot holes. Why?!?! Make these more accessible! You can't possibly have paid these beginner writers what you are attempting to gouge out of me!

(P.S.- you can earn extra vouchers for giving a 5 star review. Out of desperation to finish this book, I have succumbed to this madness. 🤦‍♀️)

The free vouchers everyday makes it worth it. I try to spend only what I would for a hard copy of a book, especially when it is a book I would otherwise get to have with my book collection. I like how you can earn some vouchers by watching adds everyday (a thing I complained to a friend about other apps not having).

The only thing I don’t understand is how they determine how many coins it costs to read a chapter. Some books have the same length as the others in reading but are almost double the amount.

Also yes, this review is for the free vouchers but I would of still given Storysome a 4 or 5 star review if I reviewed apps, which I normally don’t. Though my high rating may have to do with frustration from other apps not letting me earn as many free coins, costing more to buy coins and in general just being more annoying.
