User Reviews
Good story. Short and sweet. Well told
So much to explore on here!
I haven’t watched a minute of the actual content, so the scope of this review is narrowly-focused on the actual iOS app. I subscribed, and feel like I got swindled judging by the quality of your iOS app. You keep showing me popup ads to subscribe. They start at 25% off at $29.99/year. After I close that, it’s another ad, this time at 80% off - at the same $29.99/year. There’s no setting in-app to restore a purchase to make the ads go away. Hitting submit on the feedback form to provide you this info (which was going to be the only feedback I provided) prompted yet another ad (this time for a third party). You’re getting ad revenue from the people who send you feedback? No wonder the in-app link to rate the app simply disappears when you select it? Yikes. So bummed to have paid full price for this at $29.99/year. I should have waited for the 80% off ad at $29.99/year you reserve for the customers who’ve already subscribed.
Great story. Glad it ended in justice.
seems promising but it’s pay to use , also uses weird AI covers idek just use actual pictures. but you had sandy hook so i like that i guess.
Been wanting a app just like this thank you
First , they don’t have a free version of this app so it’s kind of a turn off that you are forced into a subscription right away. And by reading these reviews I learned it’s all AI generated. There is just something very unappealing about that. It’s probably not accurate and AI always sounds very generic. It’s a hard pass.
Got better as I watched it.
The story are great!! But. It's so costly to purchase.. It takes a lot coins to view the story!! That’s why my rating is low
So easy to navigate through
I love the offered content and I’m sure it will please anyone that indulge
Spent $40 and it doesn’t work. I want my money back!
