Comments on JoyRead – Novels & Dramas for Android

★★★★★ Lynn Lynn · Oct 20, 2026
It's one of the best reading platforms where you can earn lots of coins/pearls via watching the ads (needs lots patience as the ads are usually 1 min long n wish the ads are just 30s kind to make our life easier .) . And you can unlock a few chapters with just watching 2 Ads. Kudos to this app. But the book chapters are kinda long then other platforms.
★★★★☆ Anjana T S · Oct 4, 2026
I like one story but can't read the rest of the chapters because it needs the subscription
★★★★★ Rachael Lightfoot · Sep 29, 2026
Its expensive much more than other reading apps but honestly worth it. The stories are great. Try to do the subscription but be warned once you cancel a subscription you can't renew that type ever again.
★☆☆☆☆ Lexi Reaper · Oct 29, 2026
Watch 2 ads read chapter.... watched 2 ads asks for credit card to charge $30...
★★☆☆☆ Anna Freeman · Oct 22, 2026
I gave it two stars cuz it does have some great stories but, what good are great stories if you can't afford to read them. If you buy coin packs & you're someone that likes to read through a book, you spend a fortune & if you use a monthly subscription you can get a good way through a book, but then you have to wait to get the rest of the pearls each day. I don't know about anybody else but, I like to power read books when I'm into them, not a chapter a day. This app is on the high end of pricing
★☆☆☆☆ Sascha · Oct 21, 2026
If I'm going to be calmly reading my chapter and have to suffer through an ad mid read The next chapter better be free as compensation. I don't mind having to complete ad tasks to unlock chapters, but I do mind being interrupted mid-chapter with no reward.
