GALATEA Galatea

I’m an avid reader, reading daily. So far I’ve really liked just about every book I’ve read and am currently reading on this app. There is a wide variety of genres & subject matter and the various authors ✍️ do a pretty good job with character & story development (the Faery Godmother books are AWESOME with both of these things) and the stories keep you intrigued & coming back for more.
However, a few things I don’t like are 1. The long wait times … 6 hours before you can read next chapter — 12-18 hours if you actually work and sleep; 2. Galatea recently went significantly up on the cost of points (it costs 10 points to “skip” the wait time to go ahead & read the next chapter)… until just recently, for example, it only cost $4.99 for 110 points ($1.99 for 40 I think) but now it’s $7.99 for those same 110 points. I didn’t mind doing it for $4.99 for 110 points but the $7.99 is simply too much. I can buy entire novels for that price which I can read in my Kindle as often and as many chapters as I want. 3. There is no really good, effective way to regularly “earn” points… you can get 1 point a day for making 1 comment. So it takes forever (over a week) to earn enough points for ONE CHAPTER. I realize these 3 things are done to entice us to spend money and more money spent by us = more profit for them and also to entice us to simply purchase the Unlimited Plan (which also increased in price) but not everyone can afford to do that. So these 3 things are definitely downsides & negative factors. Oh I almost forgot, you can also watch an add once a day but all you get is 2 measly points. So yeah, as much as I’ve enjoyed the books, it’s become so frustrating to have to wait so long (bcuz I both work in the day & have to go to sleep at a decent hour bcuz of that & so when I finish my chapter in my books ay night, it’s at least 18 hours or longer after I work, drive, fix dinner, clean up etc… before I can read again. Longer if I have errands to run after work. And well, I just can’t justify paying $8 for 110 points bcuz like most working class folks with a fam, living expenses, bills, and the ever increasing prices of groceries & gas etc… we are on a budget. So while $20/month allowed me to buy four 110 packages every month, now that same $20 will only get me two 110 packages. So I don’t know… I may just have to delete the app when I finish these books I’m currently reading to eliminate both the frustration & the temptation to go over my budget. Bad as I’d miss Galatea. Bcuz I do enjoy what I’ve found & read so far. It’d be nice if y’all made it easier to accumulate points such as 1 point for 1 comment per book per day. That way those of us reading more than 1 book could earn more than 1 point total + it might would entice more folks to read multiple books … or at least award 5 points per ad watched & offer that like twice a day… it’d go a long way towards keeping your readers engaged & happy.‍♀️ Happy satisfied folks will be more apt to spend money than frustrated folks. ‍♀️
