1. 4/5Just started using App

   Loving the stories so far and love the ability to listen to them hands free but the mount of money that is being ask from me is a bit ridiculous. To just have access to the last chapter of the story is basically 10 dollars for just 3 days when I can use other apps that dose similar things for 7 dollars a week for the full access. I don’t make much to nothing at all because I have to help my mother 7 days a week who is still recovering from a stroke. Reading stories is my only way I can escape from the my stressful world of taking care of another human being. If there is some kind of point system or any way to earn free stories will be nice for those who are struggling with money to make ends meet.

2. 1/5Can’t finish one story without paying

   All of the stories are Ai I’ve seen a couple other reviewer's say they also found a story on TikTok. I did as well. The stories are behind a paywall and the only option is to pay $15 for all of the stories. There is no option to buy only one, or have advertisements. (There is a few free stories however it seems to have very few). As well, all of the stories feel like they’ve been written by ai. All of the “authors” have different usernames, and there are no popular authors that I can see. As well you are not able to go to an online authors page or account to see their other works. Which is uncommon for a reading platform. All of the titles as well are long and describe the story directly. There does not seem to be a comment section, or way to review the stories on the site. And despite being advertised loosely as unpublished personal and fictional stories (ie reddit, wattpad, ao3) there seems to be no way to actually post your own story. Which begs the question, where are these stories from? The app also has a Chinese language option. Maybe the Chinese stories are all written. I’m not able to read Chinese so I don’t know. The stories may be translated. But I doubt it. It would explain the why the titles read very literally but the stories when I switched languages had different covers and themes. Anyone thinking about buying this app should save their money. If you want to read ai stories ChatGPT is free right now. Not to mention the several apps with stories written and edited by real people. If you want to read similar short stories written by real people download kindle, wattpad, Reddit, or ao3 (only available as a website). All of which offer free stories.

3. 5/5O

   NovelShort is a fantastic app for readers who enjoy bite-sized storytelling. Its library is filled with short stories across various genres, making it easy to find something that fits your mood. The interface is sleek and user-friendly, allowing you to jump into a story without distractions. One of the app’s standout features is the ability to track your progress and create custom reading lists, perfect for keeping track of your favorite stories. The quality of the writing is generally high, with a mix of professional and emerging authors contributing fresh content regularly. However, there’s room for improvement. While the free tier offers a decent selection, some of the best stories are locked behind a subscription. Additionally, I’d love to see more community features, like forums or ways to connect with authors. Overall, NovelShort is an excellent app for anyone who loves quick, engaging reads on the go. Highly recommended for bookworms with busy schedules!

5. 1/5Pay to read and no other option

   I saw a TikTok video of two parts of a whole story. I download this app, hoping I could read the rest of the single thing. I was interested from all of this page and to my surprise it ends right where the video ended. I can’t look at anything else because I need to pay 15 or $20 and maybe even a VIP ticket. I didn’t read anything because I was so done that I had to download the stupid app just to read what I had already listened to on TikTok and wasn’t allowed to watch a video for the chapter it was left on, you have to buy it. You have to buy a ticket or a VIP pass or spend $15 for the rest of the story which is absolutely nonsense and not even on TikTok can you post the third part of the whole story because it’s copyrighted and in my opinion, it might be all ai generated.
