★★★★★ Suddenly this week I noticed a transaction on my bank account for a subscription...I go to my subscriptions in the google play store & (no surprise) I do NOT have a subscription.
★★★★★ This is a pay per chapter app, which i wouldn't mind paying a little, except it has somehow connected to my work email account & I can't add a payment on it.
8 of the 1 and 2 star reviews.

★★★★★ Coins are very slow to earn.
★★★★★ The coin collection is far too slow also, less than a chapter's worth a day.
25 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.
★★★★★ i don't enjoy a coin system but I really hope the authors are getting more money out of the books than traditional publishing.

★★★★★ It's improving but gives you ways to enjoy reading and earning points without buying coins...I love the variety of books to read.
12 of the 4 and 5 star reviews.

★★★★★ Its coin based; but easy to earn enough to unlock chapters past the free chapters.

Latest reviews, Japan Google Play.
No free reading at all. Have to buy coins. same bad grammar and ai stories as every other app. Why waste time here and pay out the @$$ on the same poorly written stories when Goodnovel and Alphanovel and so many others have them for free?
accessibility needs work - font used for comments is microscopic and not at all affected when you adjust font size in the stories
After collecting coins to read another chapter, when I clicked on Unlock Now (48 coins), it changed to 60 coins. That's rotten.
Do not use if want free stories. It takes 2-3 days to be able to unlock a single chapter. But I have liked the parts of the stories I have got to read. Wished apps were upfront about the free reading options rather than waiting until into a book to spring it on you.
Edit: this only happens when i bought the 30 chapters so thank you for you help. Hopefully it won't happen again. was my favorite app until I paid for some coins and never received them it was for to buy 30 chapters for $4.99 for 24 hours this is the second time this happened WILL NOT HAPPEN AGAIN!!! If I don't receive my coins I will delete this app and yes I sent a feedback from my app and shown proof of this purchase!!!!!
good read but readict bounus coins are not submitting to joylit app
