Storyaholic - Short Story Reviews

by Dani_L_001

I’m sorry to say that I would not recommend Storyaholic due to the poor quality customer service.
I reached out to their customer service over 2 weeks ago about being charged for coins that I did not receive. Hoping to either be refunded or the purchased coins to be credited to my account.
They responded one time, and I sent the information and screenshots they requested. It took them 4 days to respond to my initial message and it has been 9 days since my response. They still have not credited the coins or offered a refund. I enjoyed the stories on Storyaholic and how it worked, but I am very disappointed in the customer service.
I will update this review if they ever resolve my issue.

I downloaded Storyaholic because it had 5 stars, so I mistakenly thought it was a great app. Their 5 star rating is a scam. They offer 20 free tickets to anyone who gives them 5 star reviews. If it weren’t for that, there’s no way Storyaholic would have more than 1 or 2. Their books are extremely expensive to read. 20 tickets will barely even cover the cost of one chapter, and the chapters are very short. To purchase enough coins to read all the chapters of one of the books I was interested in, it was going to cost me $40! You can earn a certain amount of free tickets each day but to earn enough tickets to read an entire book would probably take months. Also, the stories have so many editing errors and such poor grammar that it can make them a bit confusing to read. If you’re going to charge $40 a book at least pay someone to edit the stories.

I dont recommend Storyaholic horrible customer service i had made a total of two purchases my first purchase was fine but when i made my second purchase they charged me double from my card i reached out to them they said that the coins had been credited to my account and couldnt refund yes coins were credited to the account for the purchase but only for the amount made for the purchase and they charged me double i sent them screenshots on how much was purchased and how they charged me double and the dates the purchases were made so i wouldn’t recommend purchases or Storyaholic

I like the selection of books they have and they have a lot of them. It’s just expensive to buy vouchers. And if you login every day you do get some but it’s a mystery of what you’re going to get. It seems you only get a smaller amount. I wish they would do it like all the other apps and each day you login you get a little more voucher. It’s steadily increasing it makes you want to come back the next day to read more. With the system they have here I’m getting very frustrated and even though I love the book I’m reading I’m willing to leave it and go to another app.

5 stars only for the messily 20 points I get. Other than that compared to the other book app I have y’all charge too much just to unlock a CHAPTER. I brought 100 point to see how far that’ll get me alone with out having to get the bonus points but that only lasted for at most 7 chapters beside the free 2 or 3 chapters given. All I’m saying it stop charging 15+ for just one chapter. Ik that’s how the writers get their pay or whatever but with as many people reading them they should make more then enough. So after reading this chapter of book I’m reading I’m uninstalling Storyaholic since I can’t find it online anywhere else. It’ll be one of the many short lived books I’m reading then.

I only gave 5 stars for the points. I really like the book I’m reading, but I can only go so many chapters because we have to pay for everything. I’ve paid for 100 coins several times and I get to read maybe 4 very short chapters. If they didn’t charge so much I’d continue to read more books but once I finish my current book, I will delete Storyaholic .

by HackMom

I only gave a five star rating for the 20 extra points. The cost to unlock chapters are way to high compared to other apps. Unfortunately I have gotten wrapped up in a book that I really want to finish. Once I finish this one I will uninstall Storyaholic. Facebook pulled me in with sample chapters and now I get one maybe two chapters a day. It’s crazy!

I love how the way you read and pages flip it gives the illusion of actual book pages. So far it seems to have really good content although I haven’t read a whole lot yet. You do need to pay for full books but they have ways you can earn vouchers so even if you don’t want to spend money you can still read!

by Aryork

Writing this review for the vouchers. I got sucked in by reading a sample on Facebook. I have enjoyed the book but have to agree that the chapters are very short and the cost is grossly expensive. Out of all of the reading apps I have downloaded and read from, this is by far the most expensive. I understand that the authors need paid, BUT I have paid nearly $15 for a book that is not finished. I am not sure if I will finish reading the book because despite that I am really enjoying the book, I am not willing to pay more. I hope that this review can help someone see the truth about Storyaholic.

I have this and a few other reading apps. I watch my ads daily while doing other things and check in. I read 2-4 chapters each day and then hop to a different app. I’ve had Storyaholic over a month and I’ve never purchased coins. I read the free books so I can accumulate vouchers for the ones I want to read. I like it 🤷🏼‍♀️

Interesting we get 20 points for 5 stars. Storyaholic is different than other reading apps, I’m having a hard time navigating it to see how many chapters a book I’m interested in reading has. Seems like there are a few ways to earn points though so that’s a plus. I think offering points for a review should allow it for an honest star rating.

by Lexiluau

I’m literally writing this review because I want to 20 tickets so I can keep reading my book but waiting for the vouchers and stuff is actually infuriating. I don’t get me wrong the books are good but like waiting forever in order to read is upsetting. I love reading books and I thought this would be a good app it’s meh in all honesty.

by Unicorn_queen_35

In order to receive 20 measly points there must be 5stars given. Exceedingly expensive to unlock chapters compared to every other app I have. I personally do voice overs for audio books on other apps I make out well and it still isn’t this expensive to read per chapter. It’s disgusting actually. Not to mention the huge failure of something as simple as spellcheck. SMH.

by Munnymom

Honestly only doing this for the vouchers. After I finish this book I’m on I won’t use Storyaholic again. Wayyyyy to expensive to unlock chapters when you could go to a book store or use a library app. If it was like 5 to unlock the whole book even that would be ok. But like to read a whole book is like $50 !!! Not to mention the books aren’t even grammatically correct.

by Wholelotta Names

I love all the reading apps even if they don’t live me. This particular one is great bc it supports all the ti tiles I was looking for and it’s easy to use. Like all of them you still need to purchase coins if you are not willing to work out the rewards instead. But Storyaholic in particular has a lot more ways to earn the coins. What I like most are the settings. This one app is worth more than five other apps. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Really only doing this for the vouchers… the books have great concepts behind them, but poor editing and they’re expensive to read since they charge per chapter instead of per book or something. The story lines get lost with the lack of editing to fix grammatical mistakes and with the few free vouchers you can earn it’ll end up costing over $40 to finish a book… I could honestly buy an entire series for that much in paperback or even online.

by Lydiacaatt

Stories are good but way too expensive. If I want to unlock the whole book it’d be $70. No book is worth that much. If you ever want to earn more than a point or two from the daily gift I’ll let you know up front it’s not gunna happen. I’ll admit the 4 stars are for the 20 points because I do like the book I’m trying to read and need the points as I can’t afford to pay the ridiculous prices. Stories are good. That’s the only good thing about Storyaholic

by Alex ML 1992

Only writing 5 stars for the vouchers. Completely annoyed with the prices of chapters. 5 star rating is a scam!! Also the fact that I have to keep writing random sentences until it says it’s a big enough review to make it look like it’s a good app. Making customers write a novel basically to get vouchers for chapters is just ridiculous. Still typing and it won’t let me finish. I hate they get you hooked on a book but then make you jump through hoops to read it.

by LolaHemp

I’m leaving a 5 star review because I want the vouchers. The books are good but I won’t be using Storyaholic anymore after I finish the book I’m on. I’m almost 30 dollars in and the book is still going. This is a ridiculous amount to pay for books. Especially when they are on a 3rd party app, unedited and you have to wait for the books to be uploaded in sections.

by Raniemist

Only to unlock the vouchers I want to be able to read the books, but this one will use your coins like crazy. At one point I renewed and realized I had renewed a few times in less than a week when I hadn’t even read that much. Storyaholic is a rip off. When I’m done with this book it’s getting deleted.

by Disneyjunkie215

Kinda expensive to even read a single story unless you wait each day for the bonus and even then it might not be enough to read a single chapter!
Wish that you could avoid paying if you waited an hour to unlock a chapter like most other apps
