Would be better if there was an option to earn coins via watching video ads for those that can't afford to purchase coins. Other reading app lets readers watch video ads for coins and gives discount for bulk purchases of chapters. It would be great if there was an option to report a grammar mistake easily. I have read some and it gives me the ick whenever I think about it. I understand why most readers are furious to pay for average level of translation that wasn't proofread properly.

Honestly, I love the app, the interface is nice and easy to navigate, and translations are good. Now, if you're going to rely on free daily unlocks and event coins, don't. It was nice up until a few months ago, one was able to actually finish novels with daily unlocks and less than a 100 coins, but it seems most serializations are changing to "pay only" in December 2023, so unless you have money for coins you're most likely gonna have to stop midway or just a few chapters into any new novel.

If you're considering downloading it to read your favourite webtoon novel-form, it's not worth it, let me tell you. First of all, you need coins to unlock a chapter. And you can only get coins by paying money. They could've put a 'watch ads' option! But no. And even though I have absolutely no internet problems, not even the free chapters are opening. It's just 'something went wrong, retry' over and over. I absolutely detest this app. Please, make SOME improvements.

The app is fine. However, reading one chapter a day can be much, and there's a limit on how long you read that specific chapter and undoubtedly you have pay again to read it, which for some people who don't want to spend so much of thier money for reading more and just want to read the story again when they have time can be problem. Daily spin isn't enough since it depends on the wheel. I sincerely hope that you add something that could help the reader get more coins easily. I'm disappointed ngl

Some of the novels are quite interesting. However, it would be great if you add or translate more novels. Moreover, please add bookmark, dictionary and highlighter where we can mark words or phrase. In addition, it's quite difficult to earn coins. I hope you add another way to earn coins such as watch ads or install and play games. Also, I do agree that you should give discount for coin purchase. It's expensive, tbh!

Many of the novels I want to read are unfinished and do not offer Daily Unlock, which means I have to pay in order to read more than just a few chapters. It is incredibly frustrating to have absolutely no way of reading for free, as well as having ads for smutty romance novels being blasted at me 24/7.

The app would constantly freeze and say to check my internet connection. Clearing cache didn't help, force stop didn't help, my internet and phone connection worked fine with other apps, so I uninstalled the app to reinstall it. I have an account, but my 29 free chapters for Remarried Empress are gone?? Please fix this soon Edit: I still have my 39 (now 38) free passes, but the app is weirdly showing I don't have any

I'm editing my review from 1 to 3 stars. They added a section for Korean novels so it's easier to find them. There is still no good way to filter the novels to search what you want(status,genre or things like that), you can only scroll all the way down in the section you selected. I don't like the new covers for the Naver's novels but I can understand why they did it. Even though the changes are small , it shows they care about feedback, that's always a good thing however the UX is still bad.

I love reading novels on here. The daily unlock for some of the series can be frustrating yes, however, if you read several series at once you don't feel the wait for each series as much. Plus, I don't mind paying to read ahead/fastpass because if you wanted to read a whole series of a physical book you would have to pay or wait for it to be available for free so it's the same principle. Regardless I love this app and the novels on it.

Don't waste your time! Been reading yonder novels every day since the app launched. Without notice or explanation, the novels on free daily unlocks were switched to pay-to-read. This change hampers the discovery of new stories and puts a price tag on what was once a freely accessible world of imagination. I was deeply invested in these stories and now I will never know their endings because I refuse to pay hundreds of dollars to purchase the remaining chapters. Greedy bait and switch.

Pros: Steamy hot stories, free daily unlocks, and the suspense was great. Cons: Suddenly said I was offline and to retry later. Couldn't get into downloads. Stayed this way for 3 months. Edit: I missed its stories. I tried reinstalling and same issue came up. My wifi is fine so it couldn't possibly be the issue. Recent: Not one story app was as good as Yonder was. Tried re-reinstalling and still the same issue. My wifi is the best in my neighborhood, so still isn't the issue. PLEASE FIX ASAP

If I could, this would get 0 stars. It's extremely frustrating to read one chapter a day when a series is on daily pass, and even more frustrating that when they complete the series is no longer free at all. Why is there no "get the whole book for a normal book price" option? And no, I'm not interested in your "gift box" or limited time free unlock. I want to read the book I chose, not whatever random book being advertised. I highly recommend not trying it, don't waste your time.

It's expensive, far too expensive considering you don't get a book out of it. Paying to rent chapters is scammy but if you price it right, it doesn't hurt as much. It's not supposed to cost more than physical books/ebooks. Now, the only thing that helped take the edge of the ridiculous pricing scheme (DP) is gone and my interest in even touching another book is gone too. PS: there's a 500+ book here that is $50 on amz but three times that here. That's how bad it is. Enjoy losing customers.

2 stars for the bugs and user experience. 5 stars for layout design, everything looks nice. 1 star for the economic strategy. I would prefer to buy the entire book for a reasonable price and read it over a few days. Not slowly read chapters over an entire year and end up paying well over the price of a normal book! I use the promos, but I am still 9 chapters behind. The worst is that I know the book is finished but they slow trickle it out.

On any given book you stop having the option for daily passes in ~3 months, seems like a lot but when books have over 200 short 10-page chapters you don't get very far before being forced to pay. Novel selection isn't the best with most options that you are forced to look at being weird romance novels. Only only using it to waste time when I've got nothing else to do. Would like an ad option to read chapters beyond free pass but it'll most likely stay paid.

This app is good all n all, but the wait is obnoxious. It's so difficult to find books without the wait. I like the books on here, but it severely bothers me about how hard it is to find some without the wait. I normally like longer chaptered books with 20-60 chapters, but that's hard to find without the wait. Overall, it's a good app, but if you're impatient and can finish your book in a day, don't waste your time.

Poorly written stories that either have very few pages to them, no substance, and riddled with editing errors or they go on into oblivion, never-ending, and still have very little substance and riddled with editing errors. The majority of the stories are aimed at a very young target group, high school. Very few books are for adults. It's a waste of an app.
