I have had this app for a while. I have loved it but after 175 stories they stopped coming in. Even when I get someone someone download the app and sign up, I don't get a free story. I've tried deleting and redownloading and still hit a wall. Other than it stopping its been fantastic. Had it continued I would give 5 stars. If it resumes I'll update my review. So far it's been over 3 months without a new story.
Some of the stories were exceptionally well written, although some of the sentences were often incomplete, leaving me to to guess what the rest of it was. There was more media like videos and pictures that made it immersive. However, after a while, the daily stories stopped coming. The app kept saying "next story tomorrow" for weeks on end with no new story.
I really enjoy the stories, and there are a lot of them. 2 problems. First, when you pay for the premium service you get 2 stories /day, thats it. When I let the trial run out I found that the free version lets you watch ads to unlock more, that isn't part of premium. If you're paying $1.99/week you should get all features of the free plus more. Second, when I had premium, the app ran smoothly. The free version is plagued with force closes and freezing, but its not worth it to upgrade IMO
I enjoy the stories however splitting them up into episodes is not conducive to a fluid story. I dont think it's good to split one story up into 2 or more episodes over the course of several days. I'm not going to purchase an upgrade just to see the end and by splitting them up, it really makes me want to uninstall. Additionally, the text moves itself while you are reading which makes for an annoying experience.
I've had to change my rating to 4 stars. While I love this app's content, there are too many problems with glitches. Especially when it gives you a choice to pick either more details or continue on with the story. If you can overlook these issues, I would still def recommend this app. The stories are interesting. You can customize the types of stories you get. It's the perfect app for waiting @ the bus stop, Dr.'s office, etc. I still get excited every morning to get my new story.
This would be better if it wasn't in text format. Also would be better if there were complete sentences too. Stories are intriguing, but I get notifications and if I don't get to it right away, I don't have that story to read. Recently the app stopped allowing default set to dark reader, resulting in having to reset every time it's opened. This app just keeps getting worse.
I love it. I read it as soon as i wake up. But in every story theirs one paragraph or sentence that get completely cut off at the end. Also it seems like once you get to the middle of the story it just rushes you through without much more information or detail. I want a play by play from start to finish that way i don't have to keep Googling more information about to get all the juicy parts this left out. Also yall should do unsolved missing persons cases and unexplainable phenomenal. 🤙
It gives all the details that you should know and it gives you options about whether you want all the story or just the facts. I love that it gives so many options on how we can customize it. It's really great that it doesn't just show you a full paragraph on useless facts and the texting style is a great choice because it gives us something creative instead of just clicking on different links or doing something different and losing where you were previously. Overall it's a great app.
Really like this app as it presents a range of real life stories, some of which the majority of people will not have heard of. Overall the app is OK, it is occasionally a bit glitchy where some stories only get to halfway down the page and then appear to cut off but it hasn't impacted my ability to read the story. Would rate higher however I've been disappointed recently by the app as there has not been an update for roughly a week with no explanation
I truly enjoy reading these stories, and having the option to skip certain parts that I may have previously heard or something is a great feature. The only downside is only 1 story a day. I want more and hate waiting. You can unlock more by having friends download the app, but no one will. I like being able to read what I want when I want.
Easy to follow & go through. I read it during breaks & it holds your place. All you do is tap anywhere on the screen for the next "text bubble". And the photos & videos are a great addition, you tap to enlarge & you can see all the details. So easy, & with real photos, incident reports, & videos, we get to know the whole truth. Really great app! Plus so easy to navigate!
Only giving 3 stars because once you start reading some of the pop up sentences are cut off, where you know there's more too it. Tapping the screen thinking it will continue all it does is go to the next paragraph and not continue the broken sentence from previous. Other than that great app and great stories. Just would be nice to actually read most of it without it being cut out
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS APP! Sadly I went for almost a month with a glitch or something so didn't receive my daily story. I emailed the technical support and never got an email back sadly. So who knows. But over while it lasted the stories were amazing, especially ones that let you choose to go on or skip the details. The longer stories are the best for daily reads. Sometimes, sadly the daily stories are to short which is a bummer. But if the glitch gets fixed I'll give a 5 star rating.
Love the app! I love how customizable it is and the ability to set the level of gruesome details to your own personal preference. It gets a 5th star for the ability to select how detailed the stories are. Having ADHD, I don't care for lengthy details. I just want the facts. That's a great option, I only wish it had more pictures. Also, it would be great to have the option of selecting your favorite authors so you can avoid those you dislike. Otherwise, perfect app!
Great story telling and fact telling. I enjoy the fact that I can tap and read the story at my own pace and not miss anything if I have to go take a break. I don't have to worry about listening 🎧 to anything or paying attention to "watching" a video or being interrupted. Super convenient! And entertaining. And I enjoy hearing of actual New cases and not about all the ones I've already heard about over and over.
