User Reviews

NovelBar has a strong, varied library and many readers praise the engaging stories and platform for authors. However, widespread concerns about pricing (coins/points and monthly fees), billing problems, loss of ad-supported access, unfinished books with high finish costs, and accessibility issues significantly impact user experience. Overall, the content is praised, but the app is viewed as expensive, opaque, and sometimes difficult to use.

Pros

Large, varied library with engaging plots
Many reviewers find the stories enjoyable and high quality when accessible
Platform supports writers by giving them a space to publish their work
Some users feel the content is worth the cost for the right interests

Cons

Extremely high and opaque pricing: coins/points and monthly fees that don’t unlock entire books, making reading expensive
Frequent payment issues: double charges, difficulties canceling subscriptions, and refunds not being processed
Ad-based access has been removed or restricted, reducing free reading options and making access more costly
Many popular titles are incomplete, with hundreds of chapters and high costs to finish a book
Accessibility problems for visually impaired users: screen readers and menus have poor accessibility

Recent reviews

After reading an amazing story through Facebook I downloaded the app only to learn it subscribed only whereas it was advertised as being able to read it for free if you watch ads which I was fine with. However that is not the case and I won’t pay a subscription simply to read stories that have lots of errors etc. so now I’m stuck not being able to read an awesome story line because of false advertising. I don’t mind watching a few ads like I do on other platforms but this is… ridiculous. Too bad../

PLEASE NOTE: THERE ARE WAY MORE NEGATIVE REVIEWS THAN POSITIVE. NOT SURE HOW APPLE KS GIVING THEM A 4.1 RATING WHEN MOST RATINGS ARE A ONE STAR! This should be illegal! You spend hundreds of dollars for coins just to finish a book! I’m not sure how this is ethical. And they only show you it’s 100 or so coins when you need to top up, but the chapters are actually 200+ coins! It’s not okay. I’m disappointed and will be deleting. Don’t waste your money. Maybe Apple is being paid to make this a 4.1 star when it should be a 2.
