## GALATEA Reviews in South Africa

### ***** "Wonderful"
Honestly this is the best app for audiobooks, the stories here are jaw dropping. Even though the is a time limit after each chapter, I still enjoy reading/listen
-- Peachysprinkles07, 2025-01-07

### ***** "Review"
Galatea is so good! I am currently reading I accidentally took the bad boy’s first kiss and I keep wanting more. It’s a mix of romance, suspense and comedy. Love it!!!
-- PreshLee24, 2025-01-07

### ***-- "Great!"
I love this app and the stories on it, but I can’t keep waiting six hours for the next chapters.
-- @BV20, 2025-01-07

### **--- "Waiting Times Are Awful"
App is Great , loving the stories so far . Only problem is the waiting time isn’t bad ( 6hours to next chapter ) but I started a new book two days ago and today suddenly I have to wait 12 hours to read the next chapter . After waiting the 12 hours and completing the chapter I had to wait even longer . So I ended up just using 10 points to read the next chapter since I was eager to do so . And after spending 10 points my new wait time was 19 hours !! I don’t even understand why there are wait times for completed books anyway . Maybe if they were so long maximum 3 hours to wait for next chapter it wouldn’t have been such a problem  but expecting to wait 6 hours and now 19 hours for a chapter , I’ll most likely finish reading in less than ten minutes, considering I’m a fast reader , makes me wonder if it’s really worth the wait . And I refuse to make in app purchases, I hate that . Update : I have to wait 30 hours now for the next Chapter of Charlotte and the seven frat brothers . Quite annoying
-- Ashlyn Lee Ash, 2025-01-05

### ****- "Various"
Good reading, nice stories. Just wish you could get more coins with ads or other requirements
-- juggfcefyjnioljb n,hdstgtn, 2025-01-04

### ***** "KELLY"
Nice
-- I want nuggets, 2025-01-03

### ****- "Personal opinion"
I love this app so many book options to read it’s like book heaven only thing I don’t really like which is why I gave it a 4 star is that it’s expensive for the points to unlock chapters and only some books come with free chapters but other than that my number 1 app for reading books!!!!
-- masterREADER21, 2025-01-03

### ***** "Intrigued"
Totally captivating and addictive. Easy to picture the story in your mind, very exciting story lines.
-- CapturedKLD, 2024-12-30
